On her self-titled debut album, Taylor Swift tells us about âOur Song.â You know, the one about the sound of screen doors slamming and window tapping. No one could have known that 10 years and four studio albums later, her songs would become the soundtrack to our own lives. Who hasnât belted âYou Belong With Meâ at the top of their lungs or found comfort from a breakup in âAll Too Well?â If youâre not raising your hand, youâre lying.
This week marks the 10th anniversary of Swiftâs first album, so what better time to reflect on how the country princess transformed into a bona fide pop star? Letâs count the ways in which sheâs changed since she name-dropped Tim McGraw all those years ago.
