Still, by the time she graduated high school she had won her first Country Music Award. Three years later, her first of many Grammys. And soon she was taking the stage worldwide in the bestselling series of concerts in history: the Eras tour. What’s the key to Taylor’s success? Staying true to herself and sharing her heart with her fans.
