As much as we love seeing pictures and videos from the Eras Tour, there’s nothing we love more than watching throwback videos of a young Taylor Swift. Especially because they remind us that she has always had talent, and was always destined to be a superstar!
We also love looking at videos that show us just how far the 34-year-old “Anti-Hero” hitmaker has come over the years – and a screen recording showing what Taylor’s website looked like way back in 2003, when she was just 13-14 years old, does just that!

Taylor Swift’s Music Website From 2003 Goes Viral
X account @NostalgiaFolder recently shared a screen recording of the “Lavender Haze” singer’s website from 2003; and to say it looks a little different to her current site would be a severe understatement.
The “Cruel Summer” singer rose to fame in 2006, so it’s interesting to see what her website looked like three years beforehand, when she was an aspiring singer-songwriter. The website shows a teenage Swift posing on the front page, with the website itself having some pretty interesting features that perhaps we wouldn’t find on websites today. Technology was very different in the early noughties, let’s put it that way!
The X account showed the user hovering their mouse over some of the categories on the website, including “Thanks,” “Photos,” and “Schedule,” to name just three. When the mouse hovers over the categories, Taylor can be heard explaining what the categories are. For “Thanks,” Taylor says: “Thanks, you’re the best.” For “Photos,” she simply exclaims “Pictures,” while for “Schedule” she says, “Come see what I’m doing.” When scrolling over the “Taylor Talk” category, Swift asks: “You wanna talk?” You can witness the whole experience in the video above.
Fan Comments
The internet understandably had a lot of thoughts! "Lolllll the 00s vibe is so real in this one," wrote one fan. "Mom! Get off the phone, I'm on the internet," joked another. "Oh, nostalgic," added a third, followed by the heart eyes emoji. "Internet has changed [so much,]"observed a fourth.
"I want a page like this existing, this is so beautiful," noted another, followed by several crying emojis and red heart emojis. "I miss the days when websites were noisy," said another nostalgic fan. "I love how laggy the animation is," commented another.
