Those who know Taylor Swift also recognize the fact that she is multi-talented as well. Not only does she sing, but she also plays guitar and she is known for dancing when she is putting on her performance as well.

Now, Taylor Swift is not only known for playing the guitar, but she has also been included among the top guitarists of the past 20 years. She has secured the eighth slot in the recent poll conducted by Guitarguitar, a UK-based guitar retailer.

This is more than just an acknowledgment that she is good at playing the guitar, it is also a shift in her career as well. Rather than only being known as a singer and songwriter, she will be known for her ability to play guitar efficiently and masterfully.

One of the reasons why Swift has been able to crack this genre is because of her performances and her global Eras tour, which broke records and exposed her to millions of fans around the world.
