I would have never put this tour together had it not been for a sweet 14 year old girl and her wonderful grandparents. She wanted to see everything Taylor in Nashville and they wanted to gift her that so I did extensive research and questioned my inside contacts in the music business and figured it all out. I learned more about Taylor than I could have ever imagined I might know! And we all had a great time that day exploring it all! I don't listen to her music to be honest, but I respect the business woman now worth over 2 billion and who gives so much of it away. So, come with me to see the places where Taylor lived and still lives and where she recorded in Nashville.
