Taylor Swift Posts Cutest Throwback Picture

Taylor Swift Posts Cutest Throwback Picture

Taylor Swift, 24, is on top of the world with her latest album, 1989, selling over 1.2 million copies in just one week! That’s seriously impressive! On Nov. 6, the “Shake It Off” singer posted a throwback picture of her younger self on Instagram to remind everyone how long it’s been since an album sold that many copies. 

Once news broke that her new album, 1989, had sold 1.2 million copies in it’s first week, Taylor shared this photo with a very interesting caption:

“The last time an album sold as many copies as 1989 did first week, it was 2002, I was 12, and going through my ‘braids phase’. #nofilternecessary.”

The 2002 chart-topping album Taylor is referring to is Eminem‘s “The Eminem Show” which sold 1.322 million in its second chart week, according to Billboard. As proven from Taylor’s adorable picture, that was over a decade ago, and no artist has managed to accomplish that much success until now.
