It was labeled three but I think it was mislabeled because a lot of the years were off and she just looks four to me. It's from the intro that plays before 22 on the Red tour. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=181901085 181901085 Taylor in ballet class when she was probably four. The teacher had to fix her hands because she put them up too high. lol https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=176155725 176155725 Taylor hugging a tree when she was four. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=176254498 176254498 https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=182092606 182092606 Taylor singing to random strangers on the beach in New Jersesy (just like she always said she did!) where her family went on vacation every year from when she was two until they sold their place there before they moved to Nashville when she was 14 (they went to Tahiti that year). This was in the summer of 1994 when she was four. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=167577876 167577876 The Christmas card her family gave out in 1994. I think they took the picture in the summer when they were on vacation in New Jersey. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=152463251 152463251 Taylor dressed up as a cowgirl when she was little. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=176254471 176254471 I managed to randomly come across the picture on the left, the same outfit that Taylor was dressed in at age five, I found out that the design was known as Kiddie Korral Red Bandana #10. It's still readily available from their website and quite popular. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=193327743 193327743 Found on Tumblr, still looking for the videos they came from. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=197204557 197204557 https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=181688619 181688619 Taylor and Austin when they were little.

I think it's really funny how happy Britany (that's actually how she spells it even though it's spelled differently in the song) is and how tight she's hugging her when Taylor looks less than thrilled. haha https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=152160412 152160412 Taylor riding a horse when she was little. She used to ride in compititons until she finally told her mom when she was about twelve that she didn't want to do that anymore (her mom loves horses and always wanted her to ride them so she started putting her in the saddle at 9 moths old) because she wanted to sing. She even sold one of her horses for money to put towards her career. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=177673832 177673832 Another picture of Taylor riding the same horse. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=180674289 180674289 Taylor singing when she was little. Something she did a lot. lol https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=176254492 176254492 https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=197103456 197103456 I don't know where these really belong, but I started pinpoint exact locations for some of her childhood home videos. Some of them we are already aware of, others are a little less obvious. It's just nice to see where exactly these memories were captured. The above still of Taylor was taken from the Bonus Home Videos on The Speak Now World Tour DVD and is Taylor in the family's kitchen (as shown as a solid image) while on holiday in Sea Isle City, NJ. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189070837 189070837 The picture of Taylor kissing her mom that she used as the album art for The best day. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=176542674 176542674 Taylor at their farmhouse in Reading with her backpack looking like she's about to go to school or just came from there. She must've been in kidergarden though because she wore a uniform in first grade. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=176542620 176542620 https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=182222621 182222621 A picture of Taylor and Austin taken from another picture of Taylor and Abigail. I cropped the picture to close up on it. It was hanging on the wall in Taylor's house when she lived with her parents. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=155099028 155099028 Taylor and her brother on one of their horses when they were little. I think this might've been taken by Andrew Orth because he said he met her when she was like four and her mom had approached him about taking some pictures of Taylor and Austin for their Christmas cards. (which I think this is from but she was 5 because they used a picture of them on the beach when she was 4) His mom lived next door to them so whenever he would visit her, he'd see Taylor because she'd come up to him and ask him to take her picture and that's how he ended up being her photographer for her first album and almost all her photoshoots before she was famous that she used for her website and demo CDs and stuff like that. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=180674282 180674282 Taylor riding on a tractor with her dad and brother when she was little.

It's a video of her and her childhood friend Britany while Andrea talks to them about Mary-Kate and Ashley Land Before Time, and Colorado. She posted it because Britany is her date for the Grammy's tonight. I assume they're both four or five in this vid. Here's the link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z64to2pppUg https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=188840156 188840156 This would be their dining/second living room. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=189070840 189070840 Taylor swimming when she was little.

You can see the fireplace from that living room (the one that's in the picture s of the inside of her old house in Miscalaeous) in the background. It's a still from a video, that's why it's kind of low quality. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=174382796 174382796 https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=182321385 182321385 (I have a feeling this one maybe in Sea Isle City, as she's wearing that outfit in an a homevideo shown before her headlining tour.) https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=192582924 192582924 Taylor when she was 6 at what I think is a summer camp. She's way in the back. The time stamp says it was July 22nd 1996, the other shots are from the 24th. I wonder if it's bible camp. I read in a book about her once that she went to bible camp a few summers. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=176254510 176254510 A close up of Taylor at summer camp. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=152651087 152651087 A second shot of Taylor at summer camp when she was 6.

I think her mom is in it with a little boy. Maybe Austin? It was taken on the same day as the one right above it but she has a different shirt on because they were all wearing their camp shirts in this picture. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=198197749 198197749 A close up of the big group shot of Taylor's summer camp in 1996. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=152651086 152651086 Taylor at age 6. She looks like she was at a birthday party or something either playing baseball or about to hit a pinata. lol It was probably during the summer because she's in her bathing suit so maybe she was in New Jersey or at the summer camp or whereever she was in the photos above. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=152251176 152251176 Taylor with her parents and brother on a family trip to the museum it looks like when she was six or seven. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=152251174 152251174 Taylor in a school play when she was six or seven. It was a Christmas play, I think the nutcracker because that's what it looks like the boys next to her are and she looks like she's playing a doll. She was probably in first grade. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=176254491 176254491 Taylor singing in a school play or something when she was probably about seven.

It was the first play she auditioned for after joing her theater group (she auditioned for it on her first day and that's where she met Kaylin, her best friend in the group) so she didn't get a lead role. She was just a nameless orphan but she got lots of lead roles after that because she's tall. This is a group shot of everyone in the cast I think (I can't tell because it's cropped, it could be just the chorus orphans like her) and I believe Kaylin is the girl next to her but it's kinda hard to tell because her face is kinda cut off. haha https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=178840029 178840029 Another shot of Taylor playing in Annie when she was nine.

This was a play for school before she joined the theater group. (I heard she was also in The sound of music again in high school!) She played Louisa and the little girl behind her is named Cara. She is a few years younger than her but they were friends and she remembers her fondly. She says she remembers her being really nice and letting her play her guitar and giving her advice about bullies. They even took her on vacation to New Jersey with them and she says she remembers once seeing a picture of Taylor wearing a shirt that she gave to her and she thought it was really cool to have that to remember her by. She says she's her inspiration and she wants to be a singer just like her. I knew about Cara already and them being in the play together so I'm glad I found this!

Probably her first trip to Nashville when she was twelve (not eleven, I found out it was late March 2002, right before she performed the national anthem at the 76er's game on April 5th 2002 when she also said she was eleven but was actually twelve, so she would've been twelve) and she looks twelve here. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=170408632 170408632 Taylor at eleven or twelve backstage after (or before?) performing at Pat Garrret's amphitheater. It was the time she sang Big deal by LeeAnn Rimes but not the time she sang it for the Bloomberg fair. There's a video of it in her 60 minutes special and I can tell it's from that day because that was at his amphitheater and she's wearing the same shirt. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=179200725 179200725 Taylor with Ronnie Cremer, the guy who taught her how to play guitar. She was 12 here (and I noticed that she's wearing the same I love NY tank top she was wearing in one of her Andrew Orth photoshoots from when she was 13 or 14 which I just thought was cool) and the woman is Maureen Carr who owns a bar that he took Taylor to play an open mic night at (the first time with a guitar after starting to learn it) that night but she couldn't perform because she was too young. That was in July 2002. He did an interview recently with the New York daily news explaining how he taught her and that he didn't actually come over to fix her computer (although he did eventually do that as he does own a computer repair shop but he's also a musician who they met through his brother Kirk who was Taylor's theater director. Her parents actually asked him to give her lessons and help her make her demo CD among other things) which was really interesting and better explains things that Taylor kind of glosses over in interviews. Andrew Orth and another guy who taught her guitar before Ronnie were also interviewed but they didn't say much. Anyway, this was a great find but the credit goes to TaylorSwiftFan because although she didn't post it, I found it on her facebook via Taylor Swift throwbacks and took the liberty of posting it myself. I just found out he posted it himself on twitter. I just thought it was really cool to find a picture of her with him since I had never come across one before. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=197351628 197351628 https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=201659346 201659346 https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=201418049 201418049 Taylor Swift in her Teletubby costume. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=203042329 203042329 https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=202342470 202342470 https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=202374128 202374128 Taylor and Austin at (what I think is the Norway Pavilion) on a family vacation to Walt Disney World in 1999. https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=203157635 203157635 https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=203157661 203157661 https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=203870951 203870951 https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=204335372 204335372 https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=204335396 204335396 https://raretaylorswift.webs.com/apps/photos/photo?photoID=203020411 203020411
