Taylor Swift is making everyone proud!
Amid the release of her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, CBS Philadelphia spoke with two of Swift’s childhood teachers who said her love for music began at a very early age.
Barbara Kolvek, Swift’s elementary school music teacher, told the outlet that the Grammy winner, 34, said she wanted to be a singer in second grade.
“She always was writing poetry — always — even in music class, even when she shouldn’t,” said Kolvek, who shared that she gave Swift “her very first singing solo.”
The now-retired educator was Swift’s music teacher from first to fourth grade and told the news station the two kept in touch “for a while.”
“I feel like maybe I gave her a little spark or encouragement to do what she was doing,” Kolvek said.
Heather Brown, Swift’s third-grade teacher, spoke about Swift’s “special quality.”
You always remember every student from the quality they have. Taylor’s quality was just being she was one of those students where people just drew to,” Brown told CBS Philadelphia.
Brown told the outlet that although she still sends Swift a Christmas card every year even though “she probably doesn’t get the messages anymore.” Noting that everything Swift touches “turns to gold,” she added that she is “just so excited to see what comes next.”
