A rare Taylor Swift CD recorded when she was a child has sold for more than $12,000.

The autographed six-track disc, featuring an original recording and cover versions of songs by Dolly Parton, The Chicks and more artists, was sold for $12,505 on Saturday, June 15 through Goldin Auctions.

According to the auction house, the CD was recorded by Swift at age 11 during her years living in Reading, Pennsylvania, and shopped around during a trip to Nashville with her mom, Andrea.

The CD itself is printed with Swift's name, the list of tracks, a black-and-white portrait of the singer-songwriter and contact information, which is now semi-obscured by a large, black signature from the Grammy winner.

Songs featured on the EP include "Am I Ready for Love" (written by Celina Berman-Gray) and "Can I Go With You" (written by Greg McElrath and Swift), plus covers of The Chicks' "There's Your Trouble," LeAnn Rimes' "One Way Ticket (Because I Can)," Parton's "Here You Come Again" and Olivia Newton-John's "Hopelessly Devoted to You."

Now a massive superstar, Swift recently completed the 100th show on her blockbuster Eras Tour at Anfield Stadium in Liverpool, England, on Thursday, June 13. After completing three shows at the venue a couple days later, she shared a reflective and celebratory Instagram post.

“So many dreamy memories from Liverpool!! We played our 100th show on The Eras Tour (which feels truly deranged to say because this show feels new to me every time we play it),” Swift wrote in her caption.

The 14-time Grammy winner continued: “I want say thank you to our Eras Tour crew, my fellow performers and band who have now committed hundreds of hours to putting on this show and giving their all on and behind that stage. I can’t believe the work ethic, creativity and dedication I get to be surrounded with every day.”

Swift then addressed her three shows at Liverpool’s Anfield Stadium. “All 3 Liverpool crowds were so expressive and generous and endlessly FUN,” she noted. “Thank you to everyone who came out this weekend (you broke the all-time stadium attendance record!!)

“AND thank you to everyone who has come to any of the shows on The Eras Tour. It’s been the adventure of a lifetime because of you. 🤍,” she concluded.

The Eras Tour resumes Tuesday at the Principality Stadium in Cardiff, Wales, before its European leg continues through Aug. 20. Then, Swift will head back to North America for a string of shows in the United States and Canada, wrapping Dec. 8 at BC Place in Vancouver.
