Turns out Taylor Swift doesn’t just speak now when it comes to writing, but has long had a reputation for being fearless.
Two of her former teachers recently spoke to CBS News Philadelphia about how a young Swift foreshadowed her talent.
“She always was writing poetry, always,” said now retired music teacher Barbara Kolvek. “Even in music class, even when she shouldn’t.”
“I feel like maybe I gave her a little spark or encouragement to do what she was doing,” Kolvek told the outlet.
“I would say how proud I was of her and that she has never lost her focus and she’s never lost the real person that she is,” Kolvek added. “She’s always been very honest and open, and I admire that in her.”
Heather Brown is a former third grade teacher who had Swift in her first class.
And you always remember every student from the quality they have,” she said. “Taylor’s quality was just being she was one of those students where people just drew to.”
Swift recently dropped her 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department and just two hours later shocked fans by dropping a second, The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology.
