#14: Her “Up-and-Coming” Era

Taylor Swift is one of the biggest pop stars in the world. However, before she was the famous and recognizable Taylor Swift, she was just another young girl who loved to play guitar. This old newspaper clipping shows Taylor Swift before she was famous. It’s wild to think that hardly anyone knew who she was when this newspaper article was published. 

Swifties will appreciate this old photo and headline because it shows how determined Taylor was to become a successful musician. The best part? She’s posing on the couch with a cat. Everyone knows that Taylor is a self-proclaimed “cat lady.” It seems like she’s always been a fan of cats, even before the fame.
