17 years before #TaylorSwift sold out a historic six-night #ErasTour run at Los Angeles's SoFi Stadium, she performed at Yahoo Entertainment's office Santa Monica, California on July 12, 2006. A month later, she visited our Los Angeles studio to shoot one of her first major promotional performances for Yahoo's rising artist program "Who's Next?"⁠ ⁠ Teenage Swift was incredibly well-spoken and grounded even at such a young age, and at the time she told us, “I decided I wanted a record deal when I was 10 years old. I came to Nashville for the first time when I was 11 and had this little demo CD of me singing [Dixie] Chicks songs, and walked into every major record label and was like, ‘Hey, I’m Taylor. I’m 11. I want a record deal. Call me.’”⁠ ⁠ Link in bio for her performances.⁠ ⁠ ✏️: Yahoo Entertainment⁠ 📷: YouTube
