This is from a short clip in the beginning of Journey to Fearless. I think she could've been singing Smokey black nights because it mentions in an article that I read about her from 2008 that in one home video she was playing that and her cat came up and licked her fingers and not only does she look around that age here but her cat is in the background. I have no idea though because the clip is so short and has no sound. And it's also pretty dark so it's really hard to tell. I wish I knew!

Well, I mean, Scott said that they gave it to her at graduation in front of a couple of her friends and that Dan had suggested a high-end guitar, so I figured May-June 2003. Besides, she isn't even playing SBN's here, her hands are no where near those chords. This guitar is definitely the Taylor (the body shappe is nothing like the ovation.) I think it could be from early 8th grade or the summer before.
Makes sense. Her friend Kaylin Politzer said she and her brother were there. But she just looks so young to me! Good to rule out one song (it must be a different clip with the cat where she was playing it. Does it look like she might be in the picture right after this one with the cat?) but do you have any idea what song she might be playing? Given the time period and the chords she's playing?

I don't know, I just always thought she looked really young here. Like younger than in the other clips which are mostly from when she was 13 and Smokey black nights is such an old song that I thought maybe this could be the clip where she was singing it. She got it (well her first 12-string anyway, I don't know if this is that one) for getting all A's in 7th grade though didn't she? So she was probably 13 but still could've been in 7th grade or it could've been in the summer before 8th grade because she turned 13 not long after starting 7th grade so she would've been almost 14 if she had started 8th grade already. I think she looks at best like she just turned 13 but maybe she got it for getting all As in just the first semester of 7th grade? I mean her birthday is right at the end of that so it could've been then that she got it because technically that was in 7th grade. So maybe this was right after she got it? Like maybe when she was trying it out or something?

Well, since she got that guitar at 13, she'd have to be thirteen right? I think it was early eighth grade...

It's from one of her home videos. The one she made that played before her concerts in 2008 I think. She looks about 12 and I think she might've been playing Smokey black nights because in an article I read once it said that in one home video from around that time she was playing that and that she kept playing even when her cat came up and licked her fingers and I remember seeing a cat (a little gray one that I can also see in another clip from The best day music video. I don't think it's Indie though so I thought maybe it was that kitten named Eloise that she mentioned in Tennessee) in this clip. I can't see it in this picture but when I noticed it last year I thought it was really cool because she did actually say that the cat was chewing the neck of her Taylor in some of the videos her dad sent to her old manager Dan Dymtrow and now that I read that other article I know what she was probably playing which I always wonder about with the clips with no sound. It took me like a million times of watching those clips to see the cat though, it's hard to see but I swear it's there!

I saw the cat in this clip, it looks significantly darker here, but it was used in Journey to Fearless at the very beginning as part of the intro. It's directly behind her. I haven't seen the cat in other clips though, I'll keep a look out now.
Oh, I didn't notice it there! haha It was under the neck of her guitar trying to get it in the part where I saw him. Weird how he can move so fast in such a short clip! Unless there's two clips of this. The other clip I saw the cat in is the one from The best day music video where she's not really playing just holding her guitar and looking down. She was wearing a ponytail and a yellow shirt that looked like it was from Abercrombie and Fitch. She was probably 13 and I think it was the same gray cat, this clip is kinda darker anyway. I suppose that clip could also be the one where she played Smokey black nights but she looked older there then she did here and this one looks closer to when she would've written it since it was one of her first songs I believe.
