Global superstar with 14 Grammys under her belt looks unrecognizable in childhood snap... can you guess who?
The beloved performer has released 11 studio albums and kicked off her professional music career at age 16 with a self-titled album nearly two decades ago.
She has achieved many milestones and garnered numerous accolades thus far, such as winning 14 Grammy Awards out of a whopping 58 nominations.
The songstress is not only known for her stage presence, but her skills when it comes to songwriting.
The music artist has since bought back the masters to all of her music and is currently in a relationship with another A-list celebrity.
But can you guess who it is?
It's Taylor Swift!
The 35-year-old singer could be seen flashing a small smile towards the camera in a photo that was taken when she was a little girl.
The image was uploaded to an Instagram fan account called Taylor Nation with the caption: 'Taylor Swift has graced this earth for 13,000 days, and the world has never been the same.'
The snap even grabbed the attention of Swift's record label Republic Records, which she signed with in 2018.
The company simply added a red heart emoji in the comment section of the post shared on Thursday, which prompted another fan page to reply with, 'omg! What do you know?'
Earlier this week, fans were sent into a frenzy as rumors sparked up that Taylor could possibly be dropping new music.
The Bad Blood songstress moved to Nashville when she was a teenager, and eventually signed with Big Machine Records.
Her debut single was titled Tim McGraw and she went on to release albums Taylor Swift (2006) and Fearless (2008) - which contained hits such as Love Story and You Belong With Me.
She later dropped award-winning LPs including Speak Now (2010), Red (2012), 1989 (2014) and Midnights (2022).

Last year, Swift released The Tortured Poets Department - which contained more hits such as the track Fortnight.
Over the course of her career thus far, Taylor has also won 40 American Music Awards and 49 Billboard Music Awards.
Her latest Eras Tour - which began in 2023 and ended last year - has become the highest-grossing tour of all time.
She has additionally re-recorded four of her albums: Fearless, Red, Speak Now and 1989.
The recent post comes after it was revealed this week that Taylor's father Scott underwent heart surgery following a terrifying health scare.
He had gone for a routine checkup when a doctor discovered something and proceeded to undergo a quintuple bypass surgery on his heart.
A source revealed to DailyMail.com that Scott has since had a 'fantastic' recovery after the procedure.
Swift appears to have a close relationship with her dad and mom Andrea. He has often been seen at her concerts and also accompanied the star to NFL games as she cheered on her NFL boyfriend Travis Kelce.
Swift's fans were recently sent into a frenzy as rumors sparked up this week that the singer could possibly be dropping new music - until a surprising twist popped up.
HITS Daily Double initially alleged in a report on Tuesday that the Bad Blood singer could possibly be working on her 12th studio album under Republic Records.
'What's more, seismic rumblings of a new Taylor set keep the Republic team as aggressive as ever,' the outlet had published.
However, an edit has since been made and altered to the simple line: 'And there's always Taylor,' while on the topic of other artists in the industry.
Before the change was made, Swifties flocked over to X to express their excitement over the speculation, with one penning, 'ts12 we are ready.'
Another added, 'I need this in my life,' while a fan wrote, 'and i speak for us all when I say that whenever Taylor decides to drop new music we WILL be STREAMING.'
And when the report changed later on Tuesday, fans of the Grammy winner still grasped onto hope.
'So that must mean it's REALLY coming then and Tree told them to get rid of that! Omg Swifties GET UP!' a fan said, referencing to Taylor's publicist Tree Paine.
Last year in October, Swifties went wild as they speculated the popstar would drop a surprise album at the time.
The rumors began due to Joe Jonas and Shawn Mendes both postponing the release of their own music.
A few months earlier in May, Taylor announced that she had bought back the rights to all of her music - and penned a heartfelt letter to her fans in celebration of the big milestone.
Fans were quick to point out what they alleged to be Easter eggs in the lengthy message.
Towards the top, the songstress had written: 'I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is a slideshow.
'A flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for the chance to get to tell you this news. All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiiis close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through.'
Some Swifties said that when she wrote 'this,' she included a total of 12 i's - which they believed could possibly be a tease of her 12th studio album.
And while making an appearance at the 2025 Grammys in February, she accessorized her eye-catching look with earrings that also had 12 jewels.
Taylor gave a surprise performance at Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville last month in June and some fans were convinced that she could maybe jump back to her country roots with new music.
She belted out lyrics to her hit track Shake It Off - and listeners pointed out that she had gone back to her signature country twang.
While it is not officially known when Swift will drop new music, the Love Story hitmaker has been keeping busy.
Swift and her boyfriend Kelce have been spotted on a recent dates this summer and also enjoyed a getaway over Fourth of July at the exclusive Yellowstone Club in Montana.
Kelce is preparing for his 13th season with the NFL and has been attending training sessions in the state of Florida. Taylor has often been spotted supporting her boyfriend from the stands, and has attended over 20 games.

Lindsay Lohan reveals what she would have done differently during her rollercoaster years in Hollywood
Lindsay Lohan has revealed what she would have done differently during her rollercoaster years in Hollywood after her major career comeback. The actress, 39, rose to fame as a child star and went on to nab major roles throughout her teenage years, including in 2003's Freaky Friday and Mean Girls. However, she then faced widely publicized struggles, including multiple arrests for DUI, theft, and cocaine possession, as well as several stints in rehab that sidelined her Hollywood career. Now, as she returns to screen with the Freaky Friday sequel, Lindsay has revealed that she would say 'no' a lot more if she could go back and do it all again. She told The Sun: 'I was always such a ''yes'' person to my agents and everyone that no one ever really took the time to ask me, ''Do you wanna chill for a second?'' 'And if I knew then what I know now, I'd definitely have used the word ''no'' a lot more.' Lindsay (pictured in 2003) faced widely publicized struggles, including multiple arrests for DUI, theft, and cocaine possession, as well as several stints in rehab that sidelined her career Lindsay went from being America's sweetheart as a Disney star to experiencing many turbulent years in the public eye. She spent years battling addiction - leading to her own run-ins with the law, as well as numerous rehab visits. It began to affect her career and she was thrown off movie sets, kicked out of roles, and forced to cancel appearances, casting doubt on whether her career would ever recover. After a string of critically-panned roles, she decided to pursue other endeavours instead, and he opened a nightclub in Athens, Greece, in 2016, followed by a successful beach resort on the Greek island Mykonos. Around that time, she also decided to give up her life in Hollywood and relocate to Dubai, which she called a 'fresh start' to Emirates Women in a 2018 interview. 'Moving here was a fresh start,' she said. 'You hear more about real current events rather than celebrity gossip, which I really appreciate.' The former child star added that her lifestyle in Dubai was quite the opposite of that in LA, and that she was thoroughly enjoying stepping away from the spotlight to live a 'normal life'. Alongside her move to the Middle East, Lindsay also tied the knot with financier Bader Shammas, and they welcomed their first child together last year. In 2022, Lindsay finally kickstarted her return to acting with her role in Falling For Christmas. It was then revealed she'd signed a new deal with Netflix to star in two more films for the streaming service. 'We're so happy with our collaboration with Lindsay to date, and we're thrilled to continue our partnership with her,' Netflix's Director of Independent Film Christina Rogers said. 'We look forward to bringing more of her films to our members around the world.' The first in Lindsay's two-picture deal, Irish Wish, hit Netflix earlier last year, and saw her star opposite English actor Ed Speleers and Alexander Vlahos. The film saw Lindsay star as Maddie, a book editor whose world crumbles when her secret crush gets engaged to her closest friend. After reluctantly accepting the role of bridesmaid for the wedding in Ireland, Maddie soon realizes her heart's true desire lies elsewhere. While the film earned negative reviews from critics, and was described as 'a scattering of rom-com cliches,' Variety noted that Lindsay 'hasn't lost her ability to light up a scene'. Lindsay's sequel to Freaky Friday, called Freakier Friday, is also hitting screens on August 8, with excitement building up for the long-awaited release. She has reunited on screen with Jamie-Lee Curtis, who played her on-screen mother, for the sequel, more than 20 years after the original was filmed.

Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz renew their wedding vows three years after tying the knot - amid ongoing bitter feud with his family
Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz have renewed their wedding vows, three years after tying the knot. The couple have been at the centre of a feud with the Beckham family that has pitted Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola, 30, against his parents and brothers. However, amid the ongoing drama, the pair proved they are stronger than ever on Saturday as they reaffirmed the promises they made to each other back in 2022. A source close to the couple confirmed the news to Daily Mail, stating: 'This is a moment to celebrate their love and commitment, and to create a meaningful memory together.' Brooklyn and Nicola have been together since October 2019, and announced their engagement in July 2020. They then tied the knot in a lavish wedding on April 9, 2022, at Nicola's family estate in Florida. The couple have been at the centre of a feud with the Beckham family that has pitted Brooklyn, 26, and his wife Nicola, 30, against his parents and brothers [Brooklyn, David and Victoria in 2020] Back in June, Brooklyn reflected on the day he proposed as he shared a gushing message to his wife on Instagram. Alongside a snap of himself kissing her cheek, he penned: 'It's been 5 years since I asked this beautiful woman to marry me xx best decision ever x I love you so much ❤️.' David and Victoria failed to wished their son and his wife a happy third wedding anniversary in April - or even 'liked' or commented on the happy couple's post about their milestone. In fact, none of the Beckham family publicly congratulated them, including Romeo and Cruz who Brooklyn is said to have fallen out with. Celebrating three years since they walked down the aisle, the couple posted a throwback photo from their wedding day. Brooklyn captioned the photo: 'Happy 3 year anniversary baby x I love you with all my heart x I'm so lucky I get to spend everyday with you and wake up to your beautiful face everyday you are my world x I love you so much Nicola xxxxxxx.' Meanwhile, Nicola's post - a similar caption to Brooklyn alongside her photos from their wedding day - also failed to prompt any congratulations from her in-laws. The once close-knit Beckham family has been thrown into turmoil in recent months, amid claims Brooklyn has become increasingly estranged from his famous parents after failing to attend any of his father 50th birthday celebrations in May. It was also revealed that Brooklyn and Nicola's Instagram accounts no longer follow his younger brothers in the latest family drama. However, Brooklyn's friends told Daily Mail that Cruz and Romeo have actually blocked them on the social media platform. This would make sense given that Brooklyn and Nicola are still following Victoria and David. David and Victoria have reportedly become resigned to the fact that they have become estranged from their beloved son after he failed to attend any of the football ace's 50th birthday celebrations last month. He also didn't wish either his mum Victoria or dad David a happy birthday on social media - an unusual move for the Beckhams, who are known for their loving posts. This is in stark contrast to a post Brooklyn shared recently for his father-in-law and wrote on a picture of himself and Nicola with the billionaire: 'Happy birthday Nelson x We love you.'

A Reconciliation Episode 6 of Glass Heart begins with Toya in the hospital. When he doesn't turn up, Tenblank is asked to go on stage. The news of his stabbing breaks and the fans become restless as well. Seeing this, Akane starts playing the drums and Sho and Kazushi follow, giving Naoki leave to go and look after his half-brother. A flashback shows Toya's mother being frustrated when he isn't able to play the piano correctly, comparing him to Naoki. She storms off and Toya In the hospital, Toya wakes up. Naoki arrives and asks Toya if his fingers are okay. As a child, he never asked Toya. Naoki says that while music is everything to him, he doesn't have Toya's passion to fight for his music. Another flashback shows that Toya continued practicing piano even with bandaged fingers. The kids seem to get along but we see that Naoki soon left the house. At present, Naoki tells Toya that he's grateful. Toya and his mother accepted Naoki even though he was from another family. Toya then tells Naoki to help him up and get him to the concert. He says he promised someone. Another flashback shows that it wasn't the young fan who stabbed Toya. A man in a hood was about to stab the young woman when Toya jumped in the middle. He recognised the girl as a regular at his concerts and promised her that he will sing. At present, Toya and Naoki begin a live stream from the hospital. For the first time, Toya calls Naoki his older brother and all of them, Overchrome and Tenblank, play together. Everyone loves it! Afterwards, Akane comes to the hospital and Toya asks her if she's enjoying finding her own sound. She says she's loving it. As, Toya and Mahiro head back to his hospital room, they talk about happiness. Mahiro says he'll be happy when Toya gets them to the top. A flashback takes us back to their studio where Toya tells Mahiro he will take them to the top. Back in the hospital, a doctor recognises Naoki and approaches him. She turns out to be the doctor who treated him after he got hit by lightning. She says his body won't hold up if he keeps doing concerts. When he refuses to stop, she asks him if he's okay with losing music through death. The Tenblank members get drinks to celebrate the concert. They also play a game with Frisbees at the end of which Naoki tells the others they are officially going on tour! The Episode Review Episode 6 focuses on Toya and Naoki for the most part and we get a fair bit of insight into their childhood and their relationship. It's definitely nice to get a larger backstory to Toya's broken fingers and even more heartwarming to see that Toya still didn't give up on music. We also get a picture of the brother's relationship in all of its complexity, flaws and all. Their reconciliation is touching and the combined song is the cherry on top of the whole thing —another banger for the show's solid soundtrack. On the other hand, the stabbing itself and the plotline around the fan does feel a tad too melodramatic. While it does prove that Toya can be kind and empathetic to his fans, the whole thing feels engineered to bring the brothers together. It is all a bit drawn out as well. But the drama knows how to keep its viewers hooked as that ending bring troubling news about Naoki's health. Could this show be leaning more towards melodrama than we expected?
