What was the first Taylor Swift song that you listened to & why was that moment impactful?

My sister is seven years younger than I am and she asked me to take her to a Taylor Swift show during the Speak Now World Tour in 2011. Given our big age difference, I've always had trouble saying no to her so of course I agreed to take her. Of course I'd heard of Taylor Swift at this point and I knew who she was but I never really listened to any of her music - I could probably recognize one or two of her songs just from hearing it on the radio but I couldn't name a single one.

The first time I really heard her music was live at Madison Square Garden. She opened with Sparks Fly and it was an amazing show. I had such a great time and I've been a huge fan of hers ever since. We've seen her live 7 times now and the reason I'm such a big fan is that her music represents my friendship with my little sister.
