Taylor Marie Ware (born September 17, 1994) is an American singer and yodeler from Franklin, Tennessee, a suburb of Nashville.
Before Ware knew how to yodel, she performed at a county fair at age four.[1][2] Her talent was singing and playing a fiddle.[1] When she was six she decided to sing to seniors, so she started an Adopt-a-Grandparent program. She taught herself to yodel from an audiotape and instruction book when she was seven years old,[1] after going to a music convention with country singer Naomi Hills.[2]
In 2003, at age 9, Ware won $10,000 in the Yahoo! Yodel Challenge and the Sonic Search for a Star.[3] She was later featured in a Yahoo commercial.[4] She also participated in a challenge to beat a Guinness world record. Ware performed on the Grand Ole Opry with Riders in the Sky when she was nine years old.[3]
Ware honed her yodeling skills while taking lessons from country music star Margo Smith[2] who is known worldwide as the Tennessee Yodeler.
At age eleven, she competed on NBC's America's Got Talent and advanced to the final competition (which aired on August 16, 2006).[1] She was one of the top three finalists[5] but she lost to 11-year-old Bianca Ryan and Irish step-dancers/fiddlers, Celtic Spring. The million-dollar prize was later awarded to Ryan.
When Ware was nine, she was given a dog as a gift by Wayne Brady after she appeared on his now defunct television show, The Wayne Brady Show. She named the dog Brady after him.
Ware's younger brother, Harrison, is also a singer and yodeler. He has performed onstage at the Tennessee State Fair.
Ware released her self-titled debut album in 2004. In 2007, she released her second album, titled America's Yodeling Sweetheart.[6] She appeared in an episode of Laguna Beach as herself.[6][7] Ware was an opening act at the Liberty Bowl for singer LeAnn Rimes in Memphis, Tennessee on December 29, 2006, performing the national anthem.[6]
She also has appeared in commercials for Beech Bend Park in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
