As a kid growing up in the South, country music was no stranger to my daily car rides. Listening to Taylor Swift’s debut album at age four, I danced to the revenge soundtracks like “Picture to Burn” and sang along to the heartfelt ballads like “Tim McGraw.”

Vivid moments of Swift’s music echo in the background of the most pivotal minutes of my life: her debut album on repeat through the road trip to first meet my adopted sister, listening to Red with my late grandfather in his rusty Chevy pickup, screaming to Reputation on road trips with my best friend.
