Taylor Swift Was Kicked Out The Building By Jimmy Kimmel's Music Booker After She Made A Failed Requ
Taylor Swift has taken part in so many memorable interviews. The artist isn't afraid to poke fun at herself, and we've seen several examples of that in the past. One of those moments took place alongside Jimmy Fallon, when the host showed footage of Taylor post eye surgery. It made for a hilarious moment as Taylor's mom provided the secret footage.
In the following, we're going to look at yet another funny moment that took place for Taylor as a 14-year-old. In an attempt to play her music for Jimmy Kimmel, things didn't work the way she would've hoped. Instead, Taylor was kicked out of the building, but was able to laugh at herself years later.
Let's take a look back at what went down, while also revealing the ups and downs of Taylor trying to make it at the start of her career.
Taylor Swift Was Convinced She Needed To Move To Nashville At The Start Of Her Career
From the age of 10, Taylor Swift was already thinking about ways to make it in the music industry. After watching several documentaries of country stars, Taylor had in her mind that she needed to move to Nashville in order to boost her career.
She tells EW, "When I was 10, or younger than that, even, I would watch these biographies on Faith Hill or the Dixie Chicks or Shania Twain or LeAnn Rimes, and the thing I kept hearing was that they had to go to Nashville."
"I took my demo CDs of karaoke songs, where I sound like a chipmunk—it's pretty awesome—and my mom waited in the car with my little brother while I knocked on doors up and down Music Row. I would say, 'Hi, I'm Taylor. I'm 11; I want a record deal. Call me."'
Although Taylor didn't get a call back, she remained relentless while understanding that she needed to make adjustments. One of them, was putting a focus on songwriting which proved to be a huge factor. However, before the success came and Taylor was able to navigate to the very top, she faced lots of rejection and that held true with Jimmy Kimmel.
Taylor Swift Got Kicked Out Of Jimmy Kimmel's Studio Trying To Play For His Music Director
Taylor, Jimmy and the music booker Scott were all able to have a laugh about the incident years later on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The host retold the story of Taylor showing up with her guitar as a 14-year-old, wanting to play a song for the show's music booker.
As it turns out, the booker wasn't having it and Taylor ended up getting kicked off the lot. Hilariously years later, Jimmy returned the favor during his interview with Taylor Swift, as Scott was kicked out of the building instead. The moment received a nice ovation from the audience.
Kimmel noted that he would've loved to have heard Swift sing, while Taylor completely understood why she got kicked out at the time. The moment can be seen below thanks to Jimmy Kimmel Live on YouTube.
With over 1.5 million views, fans had a lot to say about the moment. For the most part, fans praised Swift's rise and how far she has come since then.
"Taylor worked her way up. She seriously did. I may not be a swiftie but i have so much respect for her. She didn't become famous over night. She worked just like Ed Sheeran."
"She's such a chill, kind, and genuine person. I'm not even a swifty, but watching these types of videos with her in it are somewhat relaxing."
Even the non-fans of Taylor Swift got a kick out of it.
Taylor Swift Is On Top Of The Industry, But Admits Her Childhood Insecurities Never Left
Growing up, Taylor Swift had dreams of finally signing that record deal and making it in the industry. Along with that vision, Swift felt as though many of her problems would disappear if she managed to hit her goals. However, she quickly learned that would not be the case and even when she rose to the top, her past problems did not disappear.
She tells E News!, "I always used to think to myself, ‘If I could just write songs, if I could just get a record deal, if I could just put out an album, then I swear I would be happy and I wouldn't need anything else.
Swift adds, "And I think then you grow up and realize that the same things that you deal with in your childhood affect you when you're a grown up as well...You know, little kid, little problems—big kid, big problems."
Swift's transparency and truthfulness is what fans love the most from the star. Although she has been incredibly successful, the artist is still willing to showcase her vulnerable side, both with the fans and through her songs.
