Taylor Swift’s elementary school teacher shared what the singer was like as a young writer and how much poetry played a role in her early life

Following the recent release of her album The Tortured Poets Department, the 34-year-old singer’s former elementary school teacher Barbara Kolvek shared with CBS Philadelphia that Swift has a long relationship with poetry. The retired teacher, who taught Swift from first through fourth grade at Wyndcroft School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania, added that she gave the multi-platinum winning performer her first singing solo. Prior to releasing TTPD, Swift peppered her work with nods to her love of poetry and literature, including an homage to Robert Frost’s poem “The Road Not Taken” in the song “The Outside” from her self-titled debut album.
