By Sarah Bernard | The Thread – Fri, Mar 11, 2011 6:09 PM EST

When Taylor released her debut single "Tim McGraw" in 2006, she became the girl every teenage girl wanted to be and every teenage boy wanted to date. In this episode we take a look back at Taylor's signature style and her rapid rise to fame.

When stars get famous so young, you can usually look back at photos from their early days and say, "Wow. If only her clothes didn't' look so weird," or "Can you believe how crazy her hair was?" The thing about Taylor is that her romantic, girly look was in place right from the start. Yes, she's refined her taste. She's experimented with edgier styles like straight hair, blunt bangs, and heavy eye shadow. But more often than not, she returns to her bright red lips, cascading waves, and strapless sweetheart silhouettes. In other words, the Taylor we fell in love with.
