Teachers at Taylor Swift’s school say she was a poet from a very young age

Even as a little girl, Taylor Swift was a poet with a real passion for the written word… according to two of her primary school teachers.

The teachers — Barbara Kolvek And Heather Brown — recently gave interviews CBS Philadelphia about the pop superstar’s love for poetry at a very young age.

Kolvek, a retired music teacher, said Taylor used to scribble poems in her first through fourth grade class at Wyndcroft School in Pottstown, PA.

Interestingly enough, Kolvek says she gave Taylor her first singing solo – a song called ‘Fast Talk Freddie’, while also claiming that the two kept in touch for a while. Over the years, Taylor donated Kolvek a signed T-shirt, a stuffed snowman and other memorabilia.

“I feel like maybe I gave her a little spark or encouragement to do what she did,” Kolvek said.

Brown, meanwhile, told CBS that she was Taylor’s third-grade teacher who saw a “special quality” in the 14-time Grammy Award winner.

Brown said Taylor’s greatest quality as a child was involving her fellow students in everything she did at Wyndcroft.

The teacher went on to explain that every time she sees Taylor on stage, she gets super excited, knowing, “I was her teacher.”

To this day, Brown still sends Taylor a Christmas card every year, but admits that “she probably doesn’t get the messages anymore.”

With the release last week of Taylor’s super-popular “The Tortured Poets Department” — her 11th album — Brown couldn’t be happier for her ex-student. She added that everything Taylor touches “turns to gold.”
