CD of Early Taylor Swift Recordings Featuring Unreleased Originals and Dolly Parton, the Chicks Covers Sells For $12K

A CD of early, pre-fame Taylor Swift songs -- unreleased originals and covers of songs by Dolly Parton and the Chicks -- sold at auction for $12K.

According to Goldin Auctions, the disc — which features a picture of a tween Swift on it as well as a phone number, email address and website for interested music executives — was burned by the now mega-star when she was a modest, pre-fame sixth grader. “All of which brings us to this hidden gem in our auction: an early, self-produced CD signed by Swift herself with a black marker.” The first song on the disc is the never-released “Am I Ready For Love” (written by Celina Berman-Gray), followed by a very early Swift-penned original, “Can I Go With You,” which she wrote with Greg McElrath.
