Whether you are a fan of Taylor Swift or not, it is hard to ignore the cultural and financial force she has become this year, especially after the Eras Tour. Whether it is the music industry, the global economy, US politics, the publishing world, or even the box office—name a field, and Swift has made her mark in each of them this year. But the path to world domination began on one fateful Christmas Day for Taylor Swift.

Five years ago, Taylor Swift released a video for her holiday single, 'Christmas Tree Farm.' In the video, she gave fans a peek into the Christmas tree farm where she grew up and shared some of those special memories. The video also showed clips from her childhood home, including the Christmas when she received her first guitar. Now, with Christmas 2024 here, fans are taking a moment to reflect on that magical day.

The moment when little Swift unwrapped her guitar happens around 2:56 in the video. As soon as she realizes that the guitar is her Christmas gift, she screams with excitement, “Oh my God!” and then, dramatically says, “I. AM. HAPPY,” pausing between each word. Little did anyone know that this moment would set the stage for her to become one of the most influential singer-songwriters the world has ever known.

It is almost safe to say that 'Karma' has been doing overtime for her over the past few years. And now, fans are celebrating the day when it all started—with that one Christmas gift.

Fans pointed out that the day Taylor Swift received that guitar, the world had no idea it was about to change in a big way.
