In theater, a triple threat is an artist who has the chops to sing, dance and act. It's a different ballgame in the music biz, where touring and the two avenues of sales (physical and digital) reign supreme. In that regard, there's no artist more threat-ening than pop-country juggernaut Taylor Swift, who crushed it on nearly every level in the past year, and claims the top spot on Billboard's annual Money Makersrich list.

Swift proved adept at capturing revenue from every angle this year, earning a whopping $39,699,575.60. Fueled by 2012's "Red," the singer's album sales were eighth among all of Billboard's Money Makers, while on the digital front she sold nearly 10 million downloads, ranking sixth, and fifth in streaming royalties -- tops in country music.

Danielle Bradbery, Season 4 winner of ‘The Voice,’ is one of country’s newest sweethearts, so it’s only fitting that she’d receive advice from superstar Taylor Swift, one of music’s sweetest.

“I got to be face to face with Taylor,” Bradbery says. “She knew I was on a radio tour at the time, and still am, but she goes, ‘I knew how that was and I started young like you, and the more it goes on, the more you’re gonna see. You’re gonna have so much fun with everything.’”

Swift certainly knows what she’s talking about. She’s no stranger to radio tours, and has been heavily involved in the music industry since she was a teenager in high school, singing ‘Tim McGraw’ from her eponymous debut album.

Nashville is more than the heart of Taylor Swift’s business, it’s her home. But the city she came to as 13-year-old aspiring singer has grown far beyond its musical roots; it’s now an economic and cultural powerhouse. TIME’s Alex Rogers spoke to Swift about her favorite city for this week’s magazine feature which looks at the unique alchemy that makes Nashville both a classic American city and a modern success story. Here are excerpts of their conversation.

TIME: Why did you decide to live in Nashville?
SWIFT: I decided to move to Nashville when I was about 10 years old. I was obsessed with watching biography TV shows about Faith Hill and Shania Twain, and I noticed that both of them went to Nashville to start their careers. From that point on, I began relentlessly nagging, begging, and pleading with my parents to take me on a trip there. When I was 11, my mom took my brother and me to Nashville on spring break and we drove up and down Music Row. She would wait in the car as I scampered into record labels one by one, handing my demo CD to the receptionists. I remember thinking it was so odd and wonderful that all of these important record labels were all on one street, most of them in small buildings and old houses. I remember being charmed by how kind people were to strangers and newcomers like us. We took more and more trips to Nashville as time went by, and when at 13, I was offered a development deal by a major record label, my parents gave in and we moved from Pennsylvania.

'Starry Eyed' superstar Ellie Goulding has revealed that she has a lot of respect for songstress Taylor Swift because she writes songs from the heart and in such an honest and revealing way.

During a new interview with Fabulous magazine, Goulding, who recently joined Swift on stage at London's O2 Arena for an impromptu rendition of her hit single 'Burn', explained that it's tough to expose so much of yourself like that so she admires her:

“I love the way she writes... I think she’s got balls.”

When asked if they do typical girly things together when they hang out, such as talk about love interests or crushes, Goulding joked: "Of course! It’s a myth that people who are in the public eye are different to normal people. They are normal people. They’re human beings."
