Taylor Swift did her own hair and makeup and styling for the 2020 ACM Awards (viaPeople).
We don’t know if she did them in 2007 when she first performed.
Even her guitar’s gone from light to dark.

She’s survivedtattoo scandals,Kanye West, and two highly speculated-over boyfriends (viaBillboard).
She’s gone from country musician to pop star, to whimsical, independent indie-folk artist.
Oh, and she’s racked in awards.

Taylor Swift has 10 Grammy Awards and 35 nominations to her name (viaGrammy Awards).
“The Man.”
Then there’s the 23 Billboard Music Awards that she has stashed away somewhere (viaBillboard).
Not that we’re counting…
But back in 2007, the world was just getting to know the 17-year-old girl.
Is Taylor Swift’s 2020 ACM performance a sequel to her 2007 performance?
But during her 2020 performance, Swift nonetheless seems to tip a hat to her younger self.
In 2007, Swift performed her first hit song, “Tim McGraw.”
The parallels are enough to make you wonder.
