A rare CD of Taylor Swift recorded when she was 11 years old has just sold at auction for more than $12,000. The CD is a testament to her extraordinary musical journey, from a little girl passionate about music to one of the biggest music stars in the world.
Specifically, an organization auctioned a CD signed by Taylor Swift herself. This album is special because it collects songs that she produced and recorded herself when she was only 11 years old.
The signed six-song CD, which includes an original recording and covers by Dolly Parton, The Chicks and more, sold for $12,505 on June 15, via Goldin Auctions. According to the auction house, the CD was recorded by Swift when she was 11 years old while living in Reading, Pennsylvania and was introduced during a trip to Nashville with her mother, Andrea.
These include two never-before-released tracks titled “Am I Ready For Love” and “Can I Go With You”. The remaining tracks are covers of “There’s Your Trouble” (The Chicks), “Here You Come Again” (Dolly Parton) or “Hopelessly Devoted To You” (Olivia Newton-John)…
In addition to the track listing, the CD also includes a childhood photo of Taylor Swift along with contact information including email address and website. The starting price for the CD in the auction is 100 USD, starting from May 19. As of June 16, the record was sold for 12,505 USD (more than 318 million VND).
Currently a huge superstar, Swift just finished the 100th performance of her blockbuster Eras Tour at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool, England on June 13. After completing three performances at the venue a few days later, she shared an Instagram post filled with happy emotions.
“So many beautiful memories from Liverpool! We played our 100th show of The Eras Tour (which is crazy to say because this show is new to me every time we play it),” Swift expressed.
The 14-time Grammy Award-winning singer continued: “I want to thank the Eras Tour crew, my fellow artists and my band, who have dedicated hundreds of hours to making this show happen and beyond.” I can’t believe the work ethic, creativity and dedication I’m surrounded by every day.”
Recently, the female singer confirmed that the tour will end in December 2024. “The Eras Tour” officially kicked off in March 2023 and has passed its 100th performance.
“For me, the 100th concert has a lot of special meaning. This concert is also the moment when I need to confirm that The Eras Tour will end in December this year. I feel a bit nervous. “But thanks to you guys, thanks to the wonderful people here, my heart still feels like I’m in the early days of this concert series,” Taylor Swift shared.
