Long before she was an engaged lady, Taylor Swift played the New York State Fair not once, but twice!
Back in 2007, Taylor took the Grandstand at the Empire Expo Center on the shores of Onondaga Lake in Syracuse where she opened up for Brad Paisley.
Swift returned to the State Fair in 2008 as the warmup act for Rascal Flatts while out promoting her sophomore album Fearless.
Check out some video of that 2008 performance below captured by cmgoonie9 and posted by Syracuse History on Instagram.
Three Album of the Year Grammy's, The Eras Tour, and a proposal from Travis Kelce later, Taylor Swift is the biggest star on the planet. Ah, humble beginnings.
