Today we’re celebrating Taylor Swift‘s 30th birthday! While celebrating Taylor on her special day, it’s important we take a look back on her epic discography that helped name her AMAs Artist of the Decade. Taylor has come a long way since the release of her debut self-titled album in 2006 (13 years to be exact) and we’ve been right there with her to go along for the ride! Out of pure enjoyment, we’ve compiled a list of Taylor’s most nostalgic songs that really made her discography what it is — a collection of deeply personal journal entries depicting the vulnerable feelings that come with navigating young adulthood. Taylor is so gifted in story-telling; she writes her songs to feel as if you are there too!
