We don't follow much country music here in the Scene & Heard office, but why the heck didn't anybody tell me that this Taylor Swift chick is from WYOMISSING!? (not to be confused with the American Idol hack, Taylor Hicks) She's apparently one of the hottest things in country music these days, which sure ain't a bad feat for a little 17 year old.

Man, when I was that age, I was working at McDonalds and hanging out at diners. I didn't even like coffee yet, much less have a platinum-selling smash CD. Of course, I'm not exactly a prodigy that was blessed with her silvery gorgeous voice. But I do have something in common with this little songbird, and that's being raised around here.

Turns out she went to The Wyndcroft School as a little one here in good ol' Pottstown before her parents took her to Nashville for her to pursue her music career, which obviously paid off.

Catch her tonight on the 41st annual Country Music Association Awards at 8 pm on ABC. Rep Pottstown for us kid! Show the world we can cough up more than just ol' Daryl Hall.
