Taylor’s first album was released 10 years ago on October 24, 2006 — can you believe it? The curly haired country chick changed the game of music and has become an icon of our century. Through her music, her style and her love life of course, the world has watched Taylor evolve over time. And we love her for all of it. So let’s take a trip down memory lane.

1989. The year Taylor Swift was born. What a sacred year. This would soon became the title of her most recent album.
2. “Our Song.” Taylor’s first music video!
3. In 2007, Taylor won her first award for “New Female Vocalist of the Year” at the Country Music Awards
4. In 2008, “Love Story” made Taylor famous, not Kanye. This song is a classic Taylor moment, showcasing her sweet and romantic side, that we will see grow over time.
5. In 2009, Kanye West notoriously interrupted Taylor when she won “Best Female Video” at the Video Music Awards. Taylor overcame this uncomfortable and very rude situation and rose up on her own accord.
6. In 2010, Taylor released her album “Speak Now,” marking her last full country album.
7. Taylor’s style starts to transform. Her hair becomes straighter, her makeup and outfits, more mature. She went from innocent country girl to modern, edgy, sophisticated woman.
8. Red lipstick becomes the beauty trend of the world. Thanks, Taylor. Some of her most famous songs come from her 2012 album “Red.”
9. Taylor’s concerts are some of the greatest out there. She has the most loyal and supportive fans. Including her “squad.”
10. And back to “1989.” Taylor had six top hits from that album alone. There are rumors that she will be dropping a surprise album this month! I really truly hope so Taylor. It’s been an incredible 10 years of you and your music.
