Sarah Sullivan\/Townsquare Media<\/span><\/p> When I spoke to Mark, here’s what he had to say:<\/p>\n The songs were all about relationships.\u00a0 That’s always been a theme.\u00a0 They sounded like someone much older than 13, would understand.\u00a0 The writing was incredible.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n She was kind of shy and kind of on the quiet side, if you can believe it.\u00a0 She literally communicates through her music.\u00a0 But when things started to click, she was definitely the one driving the bus. Scott would tell you now, that Taylor is running the show.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n With her drive to be the best, it didn’t take long for Taylor to become an established artist.\u00a0 In 2006, she came back to the Portsmouth Gaslight<\/a> and made a special appearance for 97.5, WOKQ.<\/p>\n Photo credit: Marc Ericson<\/span><\/p> Taylor made another visit to the WOKQ studios in Dover, New Hampshire, but when she rang the doorbell, no one came to answer and she couldn’t get in.\u00a0 Taylor had to knock on the window of the building to get someone’s attention to let her in!<\/p>\n Recently, NH Chronicle<\/a> did a segment on this very subject and interviewed New Hampshire Swifties of all ages and types.\u00a0 They can now have a little pride that they come from the state who played her music first.<\/p>\n Mark Ericson will always have a special place in Taylor’s family and in her heart, I’m sure.\u00a0 He told me about a time that he brought his nieces to see her in concert and while she was singing one of her songs, she came off the stage and handed his nieces friendship bracelets that SHE WAS CURRENTLY WEARING.\u00a0 Holy moly.<\/p>\n Now you know.\u00a0 97.5, WOKQ was the very first radio station in America to play Taylor’s music.\u00a0 I’m hoping that she’ll come back for old time’s sake.\u00a0 Anytime, Taylor, anytime… and I promise, I’ll answer the doorbell.<\/p>\n Track-by-track listing of all of the lyrics on Taylor Swift’s 2025 album, The Life of a Showgirl<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Rob Carroll<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n These rockers all had nice things to say about the pop star.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Gallery Credit: Loudwire Staff<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nWhat Did You Notice Most About Taylor’s Songs Early In Her Career?<\/h3>\n
