Taylor Swift (2006) is the debut album by the singer containing 11 songs. When she started her career she was a country artists and this album is the pinicle of her country eras. She was only 16 years old when the album was released and was still in high school. Regardless of her age she was nominated for Best New Artist at the Grammys and Album of the Year at the Country Music Awards.
This album catapulted Swift into the music industry and she was very quickly regarded as a talented writer. She created a young fanbase and began travelling as opening acts for multiple artists while promoting the album. My favorite songs on the album are "Our Song" and "Mary's Song".
One of my favorite lyrics: "I was ridin' shotgun with my hair undone / In the front seat of his car / I grabbed a pen and an old napkin / And I wrote down our song" from Our Song
