One stormy spring day in 2007, I was at an Apple Store in Soho, waiting for my iPod to get fixed or something.

Remember iPods?

This Apple store had a little upstairs theater area and while I waited for my Genius technician to fix my iPod (v. important at the time), I wandered over to listen to this singer.

She was singing solo with just an acoustic guitar to about three people.

And that singer was, my friends, Kellie Pickler.

JUST KIDDING! It was Taylor Swift. But I do wonder if they’re still friends now, you know?

FYI, the man behind them is Muzik Mafia member Two Foot Fred. MMKAY.

Anyway, TayTay did a lot of soulful, twangy, acoustic guitar playing back in ’07.
