It's been an amazing 4 years, since I first met a tall curly haired blonde singer - songwriter name Taylor Swift. It was during the 2006 CMA Music Festival, at a small event / showcase..hosted by Countrytune.com

On Friday  (June 9th) Big Machine Record were going to showcase:Jimmy Wayne, The Road Hammers, Danielle Peck & Taylor Swift.

It was through my being a fan of Jimmy Wayne, that I learned about Taylor, months before the CMA Music Festival. During Taylor's performance, I was FRONTROW.

I remember Taylor talking about he unreleased debut single "Tim McGraw", which wasn't to be released for another 4 months. Taylor performed "Tim McGraw" and several other songs. The packed room (holds maybe 100)..loved her but.. I don't think anyone could guess Taylor would be as successful as she as been.

This event was held before she had made her appearance / performance at the 2006 CMA Music Festival. Turns out, we weren't the only ones that liked what we heard and saw.

In 2009,  I enjoyed being on the red carpet for the CMT Music Awards.

I was able to see Taylor Swift "working", also to see her interacting with her fans. After Taylor had walked the red carpet, posing for the media.. Taylor left, and headed out to the street to talk with and pose for pics with.. THE FANS.
