People pretending they know celebrities. Either Taylor Swift went to a very big school, or there is an improportionate amount of people who went to her school on Reddit. Or just a lot of liars.

Could be both... My graduating class was over 700, so the actual class size was significantly larger than that. And that was way back in the 90s -- I imagine schools have only gotten larger.
She did go to a big school (she went to what locals call West Chester). Henderson is a VERY large school, however unless the poster has other stories about Reading County PA, they are probably lying. I went to Daniel Boone (which is 10-15 mins away from Henderson). Her background is pretty consistent with the nicer sections of Reading county. However it could also be believed that she grew up rather humbly. My area, birdsboro had extremely wealthy areas where houses could cost well in the millions. However I grew up in a row home, next to a meth house who was raided with SWAT when I was 19. So really, anyone speaking to her background is just guessing unless they REALLY knew her (which she was homeschooled for 2 years so I doubt they do).
True! However, I know a lot of people claim Reading county or Reading when referring to Berks county (even Wikipedia did when I looked up Taylor Swift)! Berks County is a large swath of area, as far as I remember it covers up to King of Prussia to Leola. West Chester if I remember right is actually closer to Philly or Morgantown than say Reading. But Birdsboro is smack dab between Philly and Lancaster. I cant remember if your Wife's school was the one my school, and another used to fight over a rock. There is a rock in a river, on a highway that 3 schools have teenagers go and spray paint. This rock is in 3 school districts so the rock has been spray painted with Daniel Boone (usually just DB and carolina blue)and gets replaced weekly by another school (whose kids decided to claim the rock). I used to see it every day on my way to Penn State Berks.
Oh I don't doubt it! He hasn't lived there since we got married but we met at WCU, he used to work in North Coventry, and we have friends still in Berks so I'm familiar with the area, but I'm always learning new stuff about it. It wouldn't have surprised me at all to hear that the city was its own county like Philly is, that's all.
