Taylor Swift has been honing her lyrical prowess ever since she was an elementary school student.
Retired music teacher Barbara Kolvek — who taught Swift from first through fourth grade at Wyndcroft School in Pottstown, Pennsylvania — told CBS Philadelphia that she still remembers what the singer was like as a student.
“She always was writing poetry, always. Even in music class when she shouldn’t,” Kolvek said. “I did give her her very first singing solo. ‘Fast Talk Freddie,’ I believe it was called.”
According to a page on the Wyndcroft website , Swift attended the school through fourth grade, before leaving to pursue her music career.
Kolvek added that she and Swift had stayed in touch for a while after.
