Sometimes, reality TV royalty beats pop stardom! Here are five things to know about 24-year-old Megan McKenna, otherwise known as the singer who took Taylor Swift ‘s number one spot on the U. K. iTunes chart as of Sept. 6. (She also looks exactly like Megan Fox in certain lights.)
1. She’s familiar with the televised singing competition circuit. Megan, who is from Essex, England, got her musical start by doing open mics. She then made the semi-finals of Britain’s Got Talent in 2009, and auditioned for multiple seasons of The X Factor UK.
