Before the Eras chaos, there was a 19-year-old in cowboy boots freezing in Thredbo.
In a time before ticket presale frenzies and sold-out stadium shows, Taylor Swift journeyed to Australia on her first international tour. Performing her second-ever Australian show in Thredbo for the 2009 CMC Rocks The Snowys event, and wowing the crowds with her hit song Love Story, it’s safe to say the show was a success.
Acting
The genuine shock that Australians know her lyrics.
Production
Intimate stage, no pyro, just pure 2009 charm.
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This 2009 performance predates Swift's first Grammy win and any public relationship drama, capturing her at peak 'aw shucks' authenticity before the media machine consumed her narrative.
CMC Rocks the Snowys was a country music festival in a ski resort — yes, Taylor performed 'Should've Said No' while potentially wearing thermal underwear beneath that sundress.
