Taylor Swift Rocks the Snowys – You Belong With Me

Long before she packed out arenas worldwide with her economy-jolting, culture-shifting, fashion-influencing Eras tour, Taylor Swift was bringing her country sound to the Snowys. 

At 19 years old, Swift was already a sensation with two albums out, Taylor Swift and Fearless (which have now topped 6.5 million and 9.9 million global sales respectively). But she was yet to truly break away from her Nashville origins and enter the pop mainstream.  

In this clip from CMC Rocks the Snowys, filmed in 2009 at the Thredbo ski resort, Swift electrifies the stage with a spirited rendition of 'You Belong with Me’. She pays tribute to her country roots with a simple black T and jeans over cowboy boots but has a butterfly-from-a-cocoon costume reveal that makes the crowd go wild. This is a performer on the edge of a great transformation, who already has her stagecraft down pat.
