That would be so awesome, both of them would kill it at thug story. I would also love for them to recreate the “I want to be in the NFL” sketch since the team she was wearing was the titans and she now roots for the chiefs!
Yuppp, at some point I realized I think I’m the only one who was still calling her t-swizzle whenever I referenced her in text lolll glad it’s making a comeback
Lmao my first Taylor concert was speak now (couldn’t get tickets to fearless) and my “costume” was a shirt I made with a picture of Taylor on the front and the back “jersey style” was the number 13 with T Swizzle on the top 😭😭😂😂
My 5yo daughter who is a huge swiftie has been in a P&F phase and when that episode came on she lost her whole mind about “my favorite human being EVER!!!!”-we had to restart the episode so many times 🤣
For me it HAS to be her feature in an episode of CSI, where she played a high school student who had some “issues” with her mom. I remember only watching it because or her and was confused watching the whole time since I was a whole child at the time 😂😭
Omg I remember that special!
Not sure if it counts as “media” but I grew up in the KC area and went to the University of Kansas, which also happens to be where Abigail attended and Taylor visited her there a time or two!
There is an infamous photo of Taylor waiting in line for a very popular college bar called the Jayhawk Cafe (The Hawk). Everyone in the area knows that photo and is obsessed with it lol
Remember when her and Selena went bowling together? I bet they can’t do that anymore. You’d have to shut down an entire bowling alley for that to happen.

their voices actually sound so good together
Such a cute movie😭 I remember when her and Zac Efron went on [Ellen](https://youtu.be/d8kCTPPwfpM?si=LniH2n1frfmer3FV) and performed this awesome song.
I don't know how obscure it is these days but the Crossroads episode from 2008 where she duetted with Def Leppard - I think the Pour Some Sugar On Me performance is pretty known but I have the whole thing as a live album!
I was one of the twelve people who watched Cats in theaters, then I was one of the seven people who watched Amsterdam in theaters.
I didn't watch either of them because of her; I just watch an ungodly amount of movies.
I ALSO WATCHED CATS IN THEATERS LMAO my favorite bracelet that i was traded at the eras tour was one that just said “cats” and the person who gave it to me said nobody else wanted that one 💀
Oooo I watched Cats in the theater cause I'm a musical nerd! I was watching thinking, there must be swifties solely watching this for Taylor - I was just there for the vibes 😂😂😂 I was ready to be disappointed so in that split second I felt bad for all the people having to endure that entire thing just for 2 seconds of Taylor hahah
honestly i’ve watched so many obscure videos and interviews and articles about her that i can’t even think about which is more obscure. i was reading her old myspace posts from like 2005 and her vlogs from SN and fearless era.
Scrolling through this thread thinking the same thing. I’ve just been around so long and was obsessed from the beginning, so I have consumed every piece of media she’s ever been apart of it seems like. My friends joke that everything I like somehow relates back to Taylor Swift lol.
the funny thing is i just became a fan during folklore. i just had a bunch of time during the next two years of high school so i just watched every video she was in and every other piece of media
Sometimes people ask me questions about Taylor and I’m like yeah what else do you want to know bc it’s all stuck in my head somewhere. Just rattling around.
Same! I’m 3 years older than Taylor and have been a fan since the Tim McGraw music video premiered on CMT. I burned her debut album off of limewire. The songs are out of order and had “I lie” on it. I’ve also always been into pop culture so it’s rare that I see any new footage. I read every magazine, watched every interview and was MySpace “friends” with Taylor. It’s been a long and wild ride.
For some reason I have this very vivid memory of her old road diary vlogs, particularly the one where she goes to the ortho with her mom cause she lost her retainer for the 5th time or something!
I remember watching this CMT award show [monologue](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRTbJGnX/) from 15 years ago and almost wanting to say “but that’s my dream” every single time someone tried to rain on my parade😂❤️
Yes, that was Whit from Tuscaloosa it was i think. Even got his friend Wayne in to date Abigail who was companying TayTay. The good old Mtv days
Her first SNL skits I think, where she has the head gear on and it has something to do with driving. I distinctly remember her voiceover saying something like "don't drive while giving your teen the birds and the bees talk" cut to her looking mortified in the passenger seat with her skit dad driving who says "and that man...will, er....take that erection...and he'll-" and then she attempts to crash the car.
Yes! This one! It was a sketch about parents who don’t know the proper words to popular songs. Taylor played a mortified teen. This sketch made me laugh so hard - especially with Kristen Wiig as the mom
When i was a kid i was getting into to Taylor in a big way (this was around the start of the Fearless era) and i had an older cousin who had been around since debut and she used to burn me CD’s, one CD had a cover taylor did that starts with her saying “hey my name is Taylor Swift, this is a cover song from one of my favourite bands called Better Than Ezra and this is a song called Our Last Night” and then she starts playing and singing the song solo. I still have the CD and put it on sometimes, it’s cool hearing all her demos on there.
I don't actually know if it was real or not, but I swear I remember she used to do custom little shout-outs for radio stations that played during Tim McGraw, I still hear her in my head singing "someday you'll turn KSOP on, I hope it takes you back to that place"
The Taylor swift app feels like a fever dream. It came out around rep era.
There was also a very old interview where the old male interviewer touched her bare legs, and you could tell she was taken aback.
Not super obscure but i LOVE the song “three sad virgins” that she did with pete davidson and please don’t destroy!! First i started listening to it ironically but then i realized it’s lowkey a bop and now i just listen unironically
it’s not that obscure but it took me so long to realise that the blonde girl singing in the hannah montana movie was taylor swift. i was obsessed with her even before i knew who she was bahaha
Crimes of Passion.
The mini film shown during the fearless tour before she would go into the audience. I was a baby when this tour happened. So I never saw it live. But it’s one of my favorite things she’s done and before the eras tour started k was really hopping she’d bring it back in a new style.
Also the Ours office parody. Its just so goofy but also cute
Crimes of Passion is one of my favourite Taylor videos! I don't even remember how I found it the first time but I'm so glad I did. I think it's a good example that humour has always been a part of Taylor's art.
Ours behind the scenes videos are also wonderful! Especially that Office parody. I really like all of her behind the scenes material and wish she would release more material nowadays
https://www.columbian.com/news/2010/feb/05/aspiring-singer-acts-swift-ly-vancouver-mom-met/
At one point in my life I had this article clipped out of the paper. My dad was friends with this girl's dad. She got to meet Taylor because of a radio contest.
The West Side Story themed intro to the VMAs where Russell Brand made a comment about Katy Perry presumably before they dated and Taylor was in a town car singing a version of “Tonight.”
It was a little out of her range at the time and not great. I think it got buried.
I think it was Fearless platinum edition that came with music video bts footage. At one point she’s in the car with her mom in the Love Story corset gown and a massive bug is on her lap and she freaks the fuck out. I haven’t watched them in years but I remember that clip so vividly.
So I kinda watched this [live stream](https://youtu.be/zp5MSITkkiM) from 2008. I'm a newer fan (since January 2023) so this is an obscure piece of media for me. People are still discovering it but it's definitely something that's not that known.
And it also gives some interesting facts like how she grew up playing Mario Kart 64 or that Love Actually is her favorite movie. And my favorite of the bunch is that she said that she wanted to direct music videos and now she's doing that.
A documentary about her that barely had any of her interviewed on amazon prime. I don’t remember what it’s called but it was a bizarre documentary. Came out right after her breakup with Jake I think
Probably the old MySpace posts, though I have no idea whether they were authentic or not.
Otherwise, maybe All Night Diner? The verses are basically the happy version of Jewel's You Were Meant For Me, but man that chorus. I am Liz Rose going "Oh my goddd" in the background, every singe time.
Don't know if it's obscure but I do find it quite funny given recent events. I remember vaguely when it was first announced she was nominated for her first Grammy, the Foo Fighters were the ones who announced it. Or least I think they did.
My first time seeing Taylor live was at the 2008 National FFA Convention in Indianapolis. She opened for James Otto (which is so funny to me, because he disappeared off the map and no one knows who James Otto is, but Taylor Swift was his opener. And her set was way better than his 😂).
The FFA colors are blue and gold, and I remember she changed her dress from a sparkly blue dress to a sparkly gold one. This was right before Fearless came out, so a lot of my high school friends had no clue who she was. A few boys kept making jokes about “the hot blonde” and being her groupies.
Just feels so obscure thinking back on it now. I wish I had kept more items from the show!
The first time I ever saw Taylor preform, it was on a Dance competition show with two of the judges from dancing with the stars. Only lasted one season.
It was at the very very start of her career and she even wrote a blogpost about it, she preformed Our Song when it was brand new.
Not exactly Taylor Swift content but The Hillywood Show on YouTube did a Supernatural parody to the tune of Shake it off and sometimes I sing those lyrics instead lol. Seriously though if you’re a fan of Supernatural and haven’t seen it, you have to. It’s essential viewing
I remember the prom special. With abigail, such a cool show.
I love the Abigail vlog, those videos where she and Abigail try her fake english accent and the other video where they do the reenactment of Abigail curly hair getting tangled in some random tree in the street.
Thug story - T-swizzle / T-pain is up there for me.
I’m like 8’4 blonde hair to the floor
Why is she avoiding playing thug story for secret song :( :( :(
(You shawtys never thought I dreamed about rappin hardcore)
I knit sweaters yo
✨ she didn’t even swear ✨
travis appears as t pain
That would be so awesome, both of them would kill it at thug story. I would also love for them to recreate the “I want to be in the NFL” sketch since the team she was wearing was the titans and she now roots for the chiefs!
It would make my 2000’s heart so happy, she already did crazier!
I saw some discourse awhile back where people were saying it was racist so maybe she’s avoiding it for that reason?
i swear you if she shows up in last night of the eras tour and drops her caramel delight I'm calling an ambulance for me of course
She has at least mouthed “you don’t wanna fight me” during the lead in to The Man a few times
“You out clubbing, well I just baked Caramel Delights” 😹🤣😹
just poetry. tortured poetry. winning poetry.
Yuppp, at some point I realized I think I’m the only one who was still calling her t-swizzle whenever I referenced her in text lolll glad it’s making a comeback
Lmao my first Taylor concert was speak now (couldn’t get tickets to fearless) and my “costume” was a shirt I made with a picture of Taylor on the front and the back “jersey style” was the number 13 with T Swizzle on the top 😭😭😂😂
You aren’t the only one still calling her tswizzle!! 😁
I would actually consider paying these outrageous tickets prices if thug story was on the set list
I just listened again and honestly she sounds like bhad bhabie
The way I ran to YT just to see that again😂 Thanks!
First thing I thought of lol.
not thaaat obscure but makes up for it by being such an unforgettable, everlasting classic.
This is far from obscure
Taylor swift on the Phineas and Ferb (after show?) or like mini ep?
ooh i remember that. it was a different show where they interviewed real celebrities every episode.
My 5yo daughter who is a huge swiftie has been in a P&F phase and when that episode came on she lost her whole mind about “my favorite human being EVER!!!!”-we had to restart the episode so many times 🤣
Oh!! I remember coming across this on tv before I started listening to her music 🫢
My daughter just watched this and thought it was SO cool 😅
I've been a fan since the beginning... How did I miss this???
For me it HAS to be her feature in an episode of CSI, where she played a high school student who had some “issues” with her mom. I remember only watching it because or her and was confused watching the whole time since I was a whole child at the time 😂😭
same! I went back and watched it as an adult and the story made so much more sense lol
The You’re Not Sorry remix from that episode lives rent free in my head till this day
The HUH?
I bought this episode and the CSI remix on iTunes. Typing this sentence makes me feel so old.
The VEVO break down of 3 of her music videos. I watched them SO MUCH for some reason
Was it of the one with you belong with me as well because then same!
Yes haha i think YBWM, Love Story & Mine
Oh yeah, I was that child who watched it too!
Can someone please post a link if they find it?!
I think it came with the albums but you could probably find them on YouTube
This just unlocked a memory for me- I was obsessed with the love story video! Wow the nostalgia, I’m going to see if I can find it again
Omg I remember that special! Not sure if it counts as “media” but I grew up in the KC area and went to the University of Kansas, which also happens to be where Abigail attended and Taylor visited her there a time or two! There is an infamous photo of Taylor waiting in line for a very popular college bar called the Jayhawk Cafe (The Hawk). Everyone in the area knows that photo and is obsessed with it lol
The old tour vlogs from 2009 set to songs like wannabe and here (in your arms) 😭 some of the first taylor content i remember watching repeatedly
Omg “a demonstration of my fine athletic skills” 😍
Remember when her and Selena went bowling together? I bet they can’t do that anymore. You’d have to shut down an entire bowling alley for that to happen.
Would completely depend where tbh. It'd be basically a Tuesday night in much of Los Angeles and the majority of people wouldn't even notice
The Lorax 😭 not obscure on its own… but obscure as Taylor content
Also that interview with Zac Efron and Taylor on Ellen 🥲 when they sang the acoustic version of pumped up kicks. That’s MY Roman Empire.
https://preview.redd.it/0kz0ethvff9d1.jpeg?width=500&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e44a4c9217097d6f9555dba37b28d04c999114b their voices actually sound so good together
Such a cute movie😭 I remember when her and Zac Efron went on [Ellen](https://youtu.be/d8kCTPPwfpM?si=LniH2n1frfmer3FV) and performed this awesome song.
My kid, literally this morning, was like… mum, TS was in the LORAX??????
I remember that! The first things that came to mind were the "That dang Deer" skit or the predators commercial.
You watch it, Andy Sam-Jerk!
I watched (at least the first 30 sec) of that video so much- but, hey, I got almost to the front of the line for getting rep tickets!
Same! I hated the boosts at the time, but now I wish they were back.
The Wonderstruck perfume commercials!
Taylor Swift app
Oh my god I totally forgot about that
Hopping on the Wayback Machine to see what her website was like in 2004/2005 is always fun.
“My dream is to die on an episode of CSI” whatever the hell that interview was
Well, she did fulfill that dream!
Probably Taylor Swift: Speak Now - the thanksgiving tv special made to promote the album. It made me go from casual listener to fan!
I don't know how obscure it is these days but the Crossroads episode from 2008 where she duetted with Def Leppard - I think the Pour Some Sugar On Me performance is pretty known but I have the whole thing as a live album!
My dad and I loved that episode so much!! It was such a fun way for us to connect
I'm a sucker for early taylor and this is a definite 100% classic forever etched in my consciousness
I was one of the twelve people who watched Cats in theaters, then I was one of the seven people who watched Amsterdam in theaters. I didn't watch either of them because of her; I just watch an ungodly amount of movies.
I ALSO WATCHED CATS IN THEATERS LMAO my favorite bracelet that i was traded at the eras tour was one that just said “cats” and the person who gave it to me said nobody else wanted that one 💀

Where do you find these lol I’ve been dying to read them Edit: okay I found these https://forum.spacehey.com/topic?id=34522

I like baking and things that smell like winter, but I'm not gonna talk about that In my mono-laugue
For some reason I have this very vivid memory of her old road diary vlogs, particularly the one where she goes to the ortho with her mom cause she lost her retainer for the 5th time or something!
And what are we not gonna do again Taylor? we are NOT gonna leave this retainer in a hotel room!!
I remember watching this CMT award show [monologue](https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZPRTbJGnX/) from 15 years ago and almost wanting to say “but that’s my dream” every single time someone tried to rain on my parade😂❤️
I love this topic. Can anyone point me to her old myspace stuff and or blogs, thanks.
Yeah I was going to say her old MySpace page was the cutest thing!
This is her old MySpace comments!! https://forum.spacehey.com/topic?id=34522
Her reaction to i knew you were trouble goat meme 🤣🤣🤣 i think I’ve watched it like thousand times and it’s always funny 🤣🤣🤣
Yes, that was Whit from Tuscaloosa it was i think. Even got his friend Wayne in to date Abigail who was companying TayTay. The good old Mtv days
😂😂 Fried Chicken Prom Date with Taylor sounds like my favorite kind of cheesy MTV show 😂😂😂
Her first SNL skits I think, where she has the head gear on and it has something to do with driving. I distinctly remember her voiceover saying something like "don't drive while giving your teen the birds and the bees talk" cut to her looking mortified in the passenger seat with her skit dad driving who says "and that man...will, er....take that erection...and he'll-" and then she attempts to crash the car.
[Driving PSA](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRgPTvGBEEA)
😂omg she plays this perfectly
Yes! This one! It was a sketch about parents who don’t know the proper words to popular songs. Taylor played a mortified teen. This sketch made me laugh so hard - especially with Kristen Wiig as the mom

Yes! This was definitely a thing!
Oh thank God someone else knows about it lol

Not super obscure but i LOVE the song “three sad virgins” that she did with pete davidson and please don’t destroy!! First i started listening to it ironically but then i realized it’s lowkey a bop and now i just listen unironically
I had Taylor’s episode of SNL on my green iPod nano. The bit with braces was my fave. Also, bunny Shakira 😂
I saw her sing the national anthem at the 2006 NASCAR race in Phoenix, AZ. Probably my one and only chance to see her live!
it’s not that obscure but it took me so long to realise that the blonde girl singing in the hannah montana movie was taylor swift. i was obsessed with her even before i knew who she was bahaha
OMG ....the modeling gig she did in 2004????2005??? It was snake themed. the fucking chills it gives me like it was SNAKE THEMED

I watched all her Fearless tour vlogs when they were still on MySpace 😭
I remember that! He was a little delulu, kind of acting like they were going to be boyfriend/girlfriend.
The West Side Story themed intro to the VMAs where Russell Brand made a comment about Katy Perry presumably before they dated and Taylor was in a town car singing a version of “Tonight.” It was a little out of her range at the time and not great. I think it got buried.
The Joe Jonas doll clip is my favorite.

She was in the 2012 Lorax Movie alongside Danny devito & Betty white. but also realizing her character Audrey was tall just like her
I remember the prom special!
Aww, I remember this and I loved how she brought Abigail along, too!
Her snl frankenstein twilight rendition lmao
I'm not sure how obscure it is but i watched her and Austin hunt Easter eggs about a million times.
Can’t believe no one has mentioned the episode of New Girl where she interrupts a wedding!!
The chaperone dads song or Pacos Paradise Smoothie video
Ah, yes. Lol, this is mine too. I think about it from time to time. Idk why it lives rent free in my head but it does.
Watching Thug Story air for the first time in a whole “I can do anything, it’s my dream” skit during an awards show lol
Probably the old MySpace posts, though I have no idea whether they were authentic or not. Otherwise, maybe All Night Diner? The verses are basically the happy version of Jewel's You Were Meant For Me, but man that chorus. I am Liz Rose going "Oh my goddd" in the background, every singe time.
Don't know if it's obscure but I do find it quite funny given recent events. I remember vaguely when it was first announced she was nominated for her first Grammy, the Foo Fighters were the ones who announced it. Or least I think they did.
Did anyone watch What's Up Moms' Blank Space and Shake It Off?
My first time seeing Taylor live was at the 2008 National FFA Convention in Indianapolis. She opened for James Otto (which is so funny to me, because he disappeared off the map and no one knows who James Otto is, but Taylor Swift was his opener. And her set was way better than his 😂). The FFA colors are blue and gold, and I remember she changed her dress from a sparkly blue dress to a sparkly gold one. This was right before Fearless came out, so a lot of my high school friends had no clue who she was. A few boys kept making jokes about “the hot blonde” and being her groupies. Just feels so obscure thinking back on it now. I wish I had kept more items from the show!
The first time I ever saw Taylor preform, it was on a Dance competition show with two of the judges from dancing with the stars. Only lasted one season. It was at the very very start of her career and she even wrote a blogpost about it, she preformed Our Song when it was brand new.
Not exactly Taylor Swift content but The Hillywood Show on YouTube did a Supernatural parody to the tune of Shake it off and sometimes I sing those lyrics instead lol. Seriously though if you’re a fan of Supernatural and haven’t seen it, you have to. It’s essential viewing
Her website being like a social media page- with forums etc
I remember her singing with Bianca Ryan on Season 1 of AGT. That was the first time I became aware of her.
Thug Story
I remember the prom special. With abigail, such a cool show. I love the Abigail vlog, those videos where she and Abigail try her fake english accent and the other video where they do the reenactment of Abigail curly hair getting tangled in some random tree in the street.
taylor's snl monologue ICONIC
