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. From her first house, her hangouts, her favorite lunch spots and record stores, where she was discovered, where she wrote songs, where she recorded huge hits, where she's played and where she shot some of her iconic videos.
