Taylor Swift may now be a global pop star with unparalleled success as she juggled both her billion-dollar Eras Tour and No.1 position on music charts with her 'The Tortured Poets Department' album all so swiftly. However, in what now seems like another lifetime, the 34-year-old trailblazer that we know now was a 21-year-old trying to find her footing in an industry that many deem risky.

While just how much the times have changed for the singer is evident in how she no longer needs to sweat to win an award, a more inspiring peak-in would be an interview of a 21-year-old Taylor Swift opening up about her anxieties regarding her future and career.

Not many celebrities can look back and say that they are proud of their past, especially those who left a digital footprint. However, Taylor Swift, much like always, is a step above the rest. In a recently unearthed interview from 2011, featured on 60 Minutes: A Second Look, the unstoppable singer sits as a 21-year-old on the precipice of uncertainty. With a smile that barely masked her doubt, she spoke of the future as a question mark, wondering aloud whether music was her forever or just a fleeting romance, not knowing that these fleeting romances, along with her power to turn straws of heartache into musical gold would make her one of the biggest musical artists of all time.

Though Taylor Swift was still weathering the early storms of her fledgling career, she remained unmistakably herself; Swift by name, swift by nature. While others her age had the comforting cushion of Disney stardom to soften their landings, she stood apart, armed with nothing but a guitar and a fierce determination to charm the world. No fairy godmothers, no magic carpets, just the grit of a girl who knew the power of her own voice. And somehow, that was more than enough.

There could not have been a better time than now for the decade-old interview to have surfaced as Taylor Swift is on the brink of wrapping up her billion-dollar Eras Tour.

Given the competitive nature of the music industry, the debate regarding which singer is the best or whether a singer is even a singer by a certain standard is never-ending. However, as Taylor Swift helmed the billion-dollar Eras tour, which not only caused economic hikes where it went but also earthquakes as a result of celebration, her case was in point.

While the Eras Tour proved to be a heartwarming reminder of all that she is as the singer sang tunes from various eras of her life, 'The Tortured Poets Department' album did not quite pet her fans' feathers in the same way. However, looking at her from a decade ago and taking in all that she has achieved, fans cannot help but fold.
