Taylor Swift
Taylor is a real Christmas baby: she was actually born in December ON a Christmas Tree farm. So, just what was on Taylor's wish list for Santa as a kid? A recording contract that says she can write and sing her own songs! Taylor is the youngest person ever to solely write and sing a No. 1 country song "Our Song," and she already has her own Christmas album on the market, "Taylor Swift Holiday Collection" released in 2007 and recorded when she was only 17.
