Taylor Swift’s influence on music and her dedication to her art have deep roots in her childhood. From her beginnings at school in Pennsylvania, United States, she already demonstrated an innate inclination for writing and music, laying the foundations for what would become a globally successful musical career.
Recently, in an interview with CBS Philadelphia, two of his teachers from that time shared their memories about Swift’s early passion for poetry and how her exceptional abilities were already evident.
Barbara Kolvek, the singer’s music teacher from first to fourth grade at the Wyndcroft School in Pottstown, detailed how from a very young age, Taylor was always writing poetry, even when she had to concentrate on other class activities. The statement comes after the performer’s most recent link with this literary genre following her new album The Tortured Poets Department.
“I was always writing poetry, always. Even in music class, even when I shouldn’t have,” revealed Kolvek, who was the first to give Taylor her first singing solo, in a sample titled “Fast Talk Freddie.” In this way he hinted at the budding musical talent of the future star. And she added: “I feel like maybe I gave him a little spark or encouragement. to do what I was doing.”
The now retired educator fondly preserves memories of that time, including a stuffed snowman that the artist gave her, showing herself proud to have contributed, even a little, to her student’s motivation to pursue his passion.
For its part, Heather Brownthird grade teacher Taylor Swift, highlighted his natural magnetism, as well as his ability to attract and hold the attention of his teammates, a special quality that Brown immediately recognized. “I probably don’t get the messages anymore, but I still send him a Christmas card every year. I continue writing letters and congratulating her”, he acknowledged.
For Taylor’s teacher, each student has a special quality. “And you always remember each student for the quality that she has,” she assured. In this case, what would be the singer’s? Heather has the answer based on her own experience: “Taylor’s quality was simply being one of those students who attracted people”.
Brown highlighted a special characteristic of Swift: “Everything she touches turns to gold”. Currently, she is excited about what will come next, although she finds it all very surreal. “When she comes on stage and everyone shouts ‘Taylor,’ it’s like, Oh my God, I was his teacher!”, he admitted.
