She was a teenage country star: dominant on country radio and decorated with country awards. But if you didn\u2019t listen to that kind of music, you could easily remain unaware of her altogether. That separation collapsed with her second album, <em><a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/albums\/fearless-album\/\">Fearless<\/a><\/em>.

<em>Fearless <\/em>was \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/albums\/fearless-album\/fearless-songs\/love-story\/\">Love Story<\/a>.\u201d She premiered the Shakespeare-inspired song at the <em>CMA Music Festival<\/em> over the summer before officially releasing it in mid-September. To call its success impressive would be an understatement. With its undeniable crossover appeal, \u201cLove Story\u201d climbed into the Top 3 of the US <em>Billboard Hot 100 <\/em>and became an international hit. The scale of the response was something Taylor could not have anticipated. Almost overnight, she became a sought-after performer and interview guest on virtually every talk show imaginable. She even traveled to London (affectionately nicknamed \u201cFundon\u201d) as her visibility expanded beyond the US.\n<br><br>\nYet for an artist who had written one of the decade\u2019s most romantic songs, Taylor admitted she wasn\u2019t sure she had ever truly been in love. She had a boyfriend during her freshman year (Drew Dunlap, a senior hockey player) but there had been little romance in her life since, with one major exception: Joe Jonas. They dated from July to October 2008, after meeting while Taylor performed with the Jonas Brothers during select dates of their \u201cBurnin\u2019 Up Tour.\u201d For months, the relationship remained largely under the radar, with both parties denying they were a couple. But when they were photographed sitting together at the <em>MTV Video Music Awards<\/em> in September, they effectively confirmed what fans had already suspected.

the late 2000s was rarely kind, especially to young women growing up in public. The culture was fixated on the idea of flawless female role models, and deviation\u2014real or imagined\u2014was met with swift punishment. Taylor\u2019s breakup with Joe Jonas marked her first real encounter with celebrity gossip, and the attention that followed required rapid adjustment. For her, it came with pressure. At just 19 years old, she was branded the \u201cAnti-Britney,\u201d expected to embody restraint, responsibility, and moral clarity at all times for her vast young audience. Looking back in 2022, during her <a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/wiki\/doctor-of-fine-arts-honoris-causa-nyu\/\">commencement speech at New York University<\/a>, Taylor articulated the weight of that expectation:\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8a31aeb elementor-blockquote--align-left elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"8a31aeb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\u00abI became a young adult while being fed the message that if I didn\u2019t make any mistakes, all the children of America would grow up to be perfect angels.

In high school, she had maintained a 4.0 GPA and graduated a year early. She baked cookies in her spare time and was preparing to release her own line of <a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/wiki\/brand-deals\/american-greetings\/\">greeting cards<\/a>, complete with kittens and glitter. She also made a point of saying she had never smoked and had never tried alcohol. Speaking to <em>Elle <\/em>in 2010, she explained, \u201cIf I go to a bar, even if I\u2019m not drinking, who\u2019s to say that a source isn\u2019t going to say that I was doing something I shouldn\u2019t have been doing? So, it\u2019s not only about your own moral compass, but the moral compasses of other people that you don\u2019t know. [\u2026] I overthink everything. I overanalyze everything.\u201d\n<br><br>\n\u201cSelf-preservation\u201d was one of Taylor\u2019s favorite phrases, one she applied to her professional ambitions and her personal life. She was acutely aware of how fragile her image as \u201cAmerica\u2019s Sweetheart\u201d could be and how quickly public perception could shift. One of her biggest fears was \u201cmaking a bunch of bad decisions and embarking on a painful, slow, devastating tailspin.\u201d She was adamant that she would never allow herself to get caught up in scandal or reckless behavior. \u201cWhen you lose someone\u2019s trust, it\u2019s lost,\u201d she said. \u201cAnd there are a lot of people out there who are counting on me right now.\u201d\n<br><br>\nYet while Taylor became the era\u2019s poster child for innocence, she was far from alone in carrying that expectation. Alongside the Jonas Brothers and a wave of Disney-affiliated stars, including friends like Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato, and the <em>High School Musical<\/em> cast, she represented a cultural swing away from the \u201cscandalous\u201d <em>TMZ<\/em>-fueled celebrity narratives that had dominated the early 2000s, shaped by figures such as Paris Hilton and Britney Spears. As her label president put it to <em>Elle<\/em>, \u201cTaylor\u2019s the perfect person for this media moment. She really is the girl next door. She hasn\u2019t been drunk at a party, hasn\u2019t been in any crazy photographs. In this moment of total madness in the culture, Taylor\u2019s fans know they can count on her. I think parents just go, \u2018Oh, thank God my kids love Taylor Swift.\u2019\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1eea5b2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"1eea5b2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-9609324988608069\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\"\r\n     data-ad-layout=\"in-article\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9609324988608069\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"8536690324\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bfb2482 e-flex e-con-boxed wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no wpr-column-slider-no wpr-equal-height-no elementor-invisible e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"bfb2482\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;video&quot;,&quot;background_video_link&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=wU_esEFC53U&quot;,&quot;background_video_start&quot;:48,&quot;background_video_end&quot;:63,&quot;background_play_on_mobile&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;,&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeIn&quot;,&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-video-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-background-video-embed\" role=\"presentation\"><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c598f5e elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c598f5e\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The Fearless Tour<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18aaf5c elementor-widget__width-initial elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"18aaf5c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tBefore <em>Fearless<\/em>, Taylor had never headlined a tour.

During the same period, Taylor also opened select dates for Keith Urban\u2019s \u201cEscape Together World Tour,\u201d a schedule that left little room for rest. But if fatigue ever set in, it never reached the stage. The production featured multiple costume changes and increasingly theatrical set pieces, early signs of the large-scale visual storytelling that would later become a defining element of her live performances.\n<br><br>\nThe setlist leaned heavily on <em>Fearless<\/em> and her 2006 self-titled debut, regularly featuring songs such as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/albums\/taylor-swift-album\/taylor-swift-songs\/tim-mcgraw\/\">Tim McGraw<\/a>,\u201d \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/albums\/taylor-swift-album\/taylor-swift-songs\/teardrops-on-my-guitar\/\">Teardrops On My Guitar<\/a>,\u201d \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/albums\/fearless-album\/fearless-songs\/you-belong-with-me\/\">You Belong With Me<\/a>,\u201d and \u201cLove Story.\u201d Taylor carefully structured the show into three distinct sections, including an acoustic segment\u2014an approach that would become a staple of her future tours. By the end of its run, the \u201cFearless Tour\u201d had grossed more than $63 million.

career arrived at the <em>MTV Video Music Awards<\/em> in September 2009. \u201cWhen you\u2019re living for the approval of strangers, and that\u2019s where you derive all of your joy and fulfillment, one bad thing can cause everything to crumble,\u201d she later reflected in <em>Miss Americana<\/em>. That night, she was nominated for \u201cYou Belong With Me,\u201d a song that had dominated the spring and summer charts, fueled in part by its charming music video starring her alongside her <em>Hannah Montana<\/em> co-star Lucas Till.\n<br><br>\nWhen it came time to announce the winner for \u201cBest Female Video,\u201d Taylor\u2019s name was called\u2014an outcome that surprised nearly everyone, including Taylor herself. Visibly stunned, she took the stage to accept the Moonman. \u201cI always dreamed about what it would be like to maybe win one of these someday, but I never actually thought it would happen,\u201d she said. \u201cI sing country music, so thank you so much for giving me a chance to win a VMA Award!\u201d\n<br><br>\nAt that moment, Taylor embodied the wholesome heroine of America\u2019s adolescent girls, on the cusp of becoming the year\u2019s biggest-selling artist. But the celebration was abruptly cut short. Rapper Kanye West, casting himself as an arbiter of cultural legitimacy, stormed the stage, grabbed the microphone from Taylor, and declared that Beyonc\u00e9 was more deserving of the award. Taylor stood frozen. The crowd booed. Beyonc\u00e9, seated in the audience, looked visibly mortified. Kanye shrugged, handed the microphone back, and walked off, leaving Taylor too stunned to continue. In <em>Miss Americana<\/em>, she later described the shock of standing on that stage, unsure of what had just happened:\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-04de38c elementor-blockquote--align-left elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"04de38c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\u00abIt was so echoey in there. At the time, I didn\u2019t know they were booing him\u2014I thought they were booing me. For someone who had built their entire belief system around getting people to clap for you, the whole crowd booing is a pretty formative experience. That was a catalyst for a lot of psychological paths that I went down. And not all of them were...beneficial.\u00bb\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-q-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-blockquote__author\">Taylor Swift<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f248a9b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f248a9b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn the weeks and months that followed, the incident dominated headlines and public discourse. Even President Obama weighed in, calling Kanye a \u201cjackass\u201d for ruining a teenage girl\u2019s moment. The backlash against Kanye was severe, while Taylor found herself pressured to issue public statements. She declined, unwilling to fuel further gossip or prolong the spectacle. Instead, she responded on her own terms. She appeared on <em>Saturday Night Live<\/em> as both host and musical guest, becoming the first celebrity to write her own monologue.

Taylor met singer-songwriter John Mayer. She was 19; he was 32. Whatever occurred during their brief, much-scrutinized relationship remains private, but the songs Taylor would later write about the experience\u2014released between 2010 and 2022\u2014suggest it was deeply painful. They first connected in March 2009, when Taylor recorded vocals for John\u2019s single \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/features\/half-of-my-heart\/\">Half of My Heart<\/a>,\u201d after he publicly praised her music on Twitter, writing that she \u201cwould make a killer [Stevie] Nicks in contrast to my [Tom] Petty of a song.\u201d Two months later, John joined Taylor onstage during her \u201cFearless Tour\u201d at Staples Center, where they performed her ballad \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/taylorswiftswitzerland.ch\/index.php\/albums\/fearless-album\/fearless-songs\/white-horse\/\">White Horse<\/a>\u201d and his \u201cYour Body Is a Wonderland\u201d together.\n<br><br>\nDespite warnings from friends and family, romance rumors began to circulate in December 2009, shortly after Taylor\u2019s split from Taylor Lautner. At the time, John was promoting his new album, which included their collaboration, and frequently complimented Taylor in interviews. When the two performed \u201cHalf of My Heart\u201d together at New York City\u2019s <em>Z100 Jingle Ball<\/em>, the media began framing their interactions as romantic. The following month, they were spotted having dinner together in Nashville with a small group of friends.\n<br><br>\nThough reports surfaced in February 2010 that they had fallen out, they appeared comfortable together at the <em>Songwriters Hall of Fame<\/em> ceremony in June, where Taylor was honored with the \u201cHal David Starlight Award\u201d (presented to young songwriters making a significant and lasting impact on the industry) and John presented her with the award:\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7da4577 elementor-blockquote--align-left elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"7da4577\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\u00abYou could put her in a time machine in any era and she would have a hit record.

When we're 80 years old and we are telling the same stories over and over again to our grandkids and they're so annoyed with us\u2014this is the story we're going to be telling over and over again: in 2010 that we got to win 'Album Of The Year' at the Grammys.\u00bb\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-q-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-blockquote__author\">Taylor Swift<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e92e286 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"e92e286\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tIn retrospect, it\u2019s remarkable that an institution as traditionally conservative as the Recording Academy recognized a 20-year-old Taylor as one of the most important singer-songwriters of her generation. In the broader sweep of her career, <em>Fearless <\/em>is sometimes overshadowed by her later pop crossover, but at the time, it represented a monumental leap forward.

and success had drastically changed Taylor\u2019s everyday life. Back in 2008, she still returned to Nashville frequently, since her career was rooted in the country scene. But by the height of her <em>Fearless <\/em>era, being part of the A-list meant missing more and more events with friends back home. The only strong bond that remained was with her best friend, Abigail. Reflecting on this period in 2009, Taylor told <em>Glamour<\/em>, \u201cSometimes I don\u2019t get invited to things because my friends know it\u2019s going to be a hassle to take me. I\u2019ll find out that a group of my friends went out to dinner, but they wanted it to be a low-key night and not worry about people coming up to the table every other second and asking for autographs, so they didn\u2019t invite me. I can understand that.\u201d\n<br><br>\nEven so, Taylor wouldn\u2019t trade her dreams coming true for anything. The era concluded on July 10, 2010, on a warm summer evening in New England, with her first-ever stadium show at Gillette Stadium, drawing 55,000 fans. In a time when few artists could sell out venues of that size, achieving it with only her second album was nearly unprecedented. Looking back, she told the <em>Los Angeles Times<\/em>:\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a3c866 elementor-blockquote--align-left elementor-blockquote--skin-border elementor-widget elementor-widget-blockquote\" data-id=\"6a3c866\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"blockquote.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<blockquote class=\"elementor-blockquote\">\n\t\t\t<p class=\"elementor-blockquote__content\">\n\t\t\t\t\u00abI get tired.

So when I start to get really physically worn down, I just mentally go back to the place when I would have to get up really early for a test in high school, and I\u2019m like, \u2018Hey, this is pretty cool.\u2019\u00bb\t\t\t<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-q-footer\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<cite class=\"elementor-blockquote__author\">Taylor Swift<\/cite>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/blockquote>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-aa399a4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"aa399a4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tThe <em>Fearless <\/em>era holds a special place in Taylor\u2019s story. It was the album that made her a star, while also foreshadowing the challenges ahead. One of them being critics who questioned whether she truly wrote her songs\u2014a doubt that frustrated her deeply. \u201cIt was all fueled by not feeling like I belonged there,\u201d she said in <em>Miss Americana<\/em>. \u201c\u2018I\u2019m only here because I work hard and I\u2019m nice to people.\u2019 Thank God I had that work ethic!

She was also about to move out.

All Eras The Fearless Era 2008 \u2013 2010 In early 2008, most people didn\u2019t yet have an opinion on Taylor. After all, even though she had already sold millions of copies of her self-titled debut album, her success existed largely within the Nashville scene. She was a teenage country star: dominant on country radio and decorated with country awards. But if you didn\u2019t listen to that kind of music, you could easily remain unaware of her altogether. That separation collapsed with her second album, Fearless. Released in November 2008, it marked the moment Taylor crossed over from genre success to international phenomenon. Beginning of Era The Fearless era kicked off on June 6, 2008, when Taylor premiered \u201cLove Story\u201d with an intimate acoustic performance at the CMA Music Festival behind the historic Ryman Auditorium. End of Era The Fearless era closed on a high note on July 10, 2010, with Taylor performing her first-ever stadium show at Gillette Stadium in New England, drawing 55,000 fans. The sold-out finale marked the end of a 15-month, 110-show tour, cementing her rise from country prodigy to superstar. Associated Albums Fearless (2008) Tour In 2009 and 2010, the \u201cFearless Tour\u201d took Taylor around the globe. The show featured theatrical sets and visual elements designed by Taylor herself and a fairy-tale castle illuminated by more than a million lumens of light. Aesthetic The Fearless era aesthetic was defined by hand hearts exchanged with fans, the number 13 inked on Taylor\u2019s hand, and a visual world rooted in high school romance and first feelings. Whimsical and golden, she viewed love as something magical and worth believing in, capturing the drama and innocence of growing up in real time. Style Taylor\u2019s Fearless era style was preppy and schoolgirl-inspired, featuring pleated skirts, knee-high boots, mini dresses, headbands and tons of bracelets. Her soft, blonde curls\u2014envied around the world\u2014became a defining part of her look, instantly recognizable and widely imitated.

Critics and industry figures embraced her songwriting, while millions of teenagers saw their own lives reflected in her lyrics. Massive album sales and her first headlining tour followed, as did a carefully forming public image: blonde curls, diaristic honesty, and an approachable \u201cgirl next door\u201d charm that helped position her as America\u2019s Sweetheart. Looking back on that moment in her life in the documentary Miss Americana (2020), Taylor recalled the surreal pace of it all: \u00abI was in country music, and I was doing a very spectacle-like live show. And I remember thinking, \u2018This feels like a dream, this feels like a dream, this feels like a dream!\u2019\u00bb Taylor Swift And indeed, many of her biggest dreams materialized quickly. By the end of the decade, Taylor had crossed into the wider entertainment mainstream. She moved comfortably within Hollywood\u2019s orbit, rivaling the era\u2019s biggest Disney stars\u2014then the defining teen celebrities of the late 2000s\u2014and signaling that her reach now extended well beyond the boundaries of country music. Fearless Fearless is considered Taylor\u2019s breakthrough record and is the most awarded country album in music history. Read More Songs on Fearless Read Taylor\u2019s introduction letter for Fearless, then dive into the detailed stories behind its songs. Read More Fearless (Taylor\u2019s Version) Fearless (Taylor\u2019s Version) is the first release in Taylor\u2019s historic battle to regain control of her master recordings. Read More Living With Her Family In 2008, Taylor still lived at home with her family in Hendersonville, a suburb just outside Nashville, in a spacious house overlooking Old Hickory Lake. It was a beautiful setting, but far from private for a rising star: boats carrying neighbors, locals, and tourists would sometimes pause at the dock to watch the grounds, prompting Taylor to deadpan to Rolling Stone in 2009, \u201cIn the summer, people fish off the dock\u2026.More people now. Apparently, there are more fish now.\u201d Generally speaking though, living in Tennessee offered its own protective layer: \u00abKeith and Nicole live there. Tim and Faith live there. We can all go to the grocery store in our sweatpants because the paparazzi have no idea Nashville exists.\u00bb Taylor Swift The family was well-off even before Taylor became famous. Both of her parents had careers in finance, making them savvy advisers who weren\u2019t interested in her fortune. Her mother, Andrea usually traveled with her, while her father, Scott, a kind and approachable stockbroker, stayed home with her younger brother Austin, a 16-year-old lacrosse player and academic overachiever. He had moved into a room on the garage level, but Taylor remained in her childhood bedroom\u2014a small space decorated almost entirely in pink and purple. Any trace of her superstar life had been removed, aside from a postcard from Reba McEntire.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1230,"parent":219,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"site-sidebar-layout":"no-sidebar","site-content-layout":"page-builder","ast-site-content-layout":"full-width-container","site-content-style":"unboxed","site-sidebar-style":"unboxed","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"default","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center
