Taylor Swift is undoubtedly the biggest pop star in the world today, having sold-out shows for her The Eras Tour, selling millions of albums, and breaking records from left to right, but there was a humble time in her career when she held a concert at a small venue.
Going back to 2007, years before Swift had sold-out concerts in Stadiums, the then-country star performed in front of a small crowd in Anniston, AL.
At the time, tickets were relatively cheaper than her Eras Tour shows, as it only cost fans $20 to watch her perform live.

Taste of Country reported that the musician held her concert in the gymnasium of Saks High School, a public school with 306 students in grades 8 to 12.
Not only did the tickets cost less, but the music event was also a fundraiser, as the show aimed to raise money for the Saks High football team.

The musician only sang five songs for her performance, which started with her now-classic hit "Our Song," followed by her big songs "Should've Said No," "Tim McGraw," "Teardrops on My Guitar," and the closing track, "Picture to Burn."
