From her humble beginning as a curly-haired country gal to her now style-icon and squad-leader status, Taylor Swift is the all-American girl-next-door making ruling the airwaves in Tinseltown. But like many superstars before her, Taylor Swift had to start somewhere…
The 26-year-old singer-songwriter released her very first album a decade ago this week, so, to celebrate, we’re taking a look back on her major Hollywood evolution.
“10 years ago today, my first album came out,” she wrote on Instagram to mark the occasion.
“I couldn’t be more grateful today, thinking back on how much fun we’ve had and how you’ve encouraged me to change and grow.
“It’s been such an adventure, guys. Thank you for all of it.”
