Last week, Taylor joined Kris Kristofferson, Emmylou Harris, Vince Gill and Lionel Richie in Los Angeles for an All For The Hall Guitar Pull to benefit the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. CNN had this to say about her performance: “As for Swift, she more than held her own with this bunch of veteran singer/songwriters two and three times her age. The acoustic setting showcased the intimate nature of her songwriting, and her voice sounded strong against the quiet backdrop …..The performance for the Country Music Hall of Fame proved she had every right to share the spotlight with such icons as Kristofferson, Gill, Harris and Richie. Her unique ability to grow the country music audience, while effortlessly nabbing awards like the 2010 Grammy for "Album of Year," speak to her impact as an artist.”
Taylor, who was just named Billboard’s top-ranking “Hottest Music Star Under 21,” is currently in Milan for a performance this week on X Factor Italy. She travels to Paris later in the week for a gala celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the Roberto Cavalli fashion house.
