While it may seem hard to remember a time when\u00a0Taylor Swift\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>wasn\u2019t the biggest popstar in the world, there was a time when the singer was also shopping her demo around. A CD of recordings from before she was famous was recently sold in an auction by Goldin for a whopping $12,505. The rare disc was also signed by the \u201cFortnight\u201d singer, 34, making it even more special.<\/p>\n

The disc had Taylor\u2019s full-name written across the top in a fancy script font. It also had a portrait of a young pre-teen Taylor on one side, with the tracklist next to it. The tracklist included two of the singer\u2019s original songs that haven\u2019t been released (though maybe they could find life in a \u201cVault\u201d track in the future): \u201cAm I Ready for Love\u201d and \u201cCan I Go With You.\u201d Later, the album features covers of The Chicks\u2019 \u201cThere\u2019s Your Trouble,\u201d\u00a0Dolly Parton\u2019s\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cHere You Come Again,\u201d and\u00a0Olivia Newton-John\u2019s\u00a0<\/strong>\u201cHopelessly Devoted to You.\u201d<\/p>\n

On the bottom of the CD, there\u2019s also a phone number, email address, and a URL for Taylor\u2019s website. That\u2019s also where Taylor signed the CD with a black marker. Goldin noted that the autograph had been authenticated, and a certificate proving so would be sent to the bidder.<\/p>\n

Of course, the demo CD was from early in her career, but Taylor still makes her autograph available as well as many of her demos. When she releases a new album, the singer often makes a limited number of signed copies of her albums available online in her store for a short window of time, and copies of those albums occasionally show up on resale sites like eBay, for those fans eager to have their own copy of her music with her John Hancock on it. She also regularly shares demos of some of her biggest hits on deluxe versions of her albums, giving fans ideas of the rough sketches of each song before they\u2019re completed.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
