Frederick Breedon IV, Getty Images When the Dixie Chicks' 'Cowboy Take Me Away' reached the top of the charts at the end of 1999, Taylor Swift was just turning ten, and dreaming of hearing her own songs on the radio someday.

"Everybody who plays an instrument remembers that first song they ever learned on guitar," Taylor said during a recent show in Newark, N.J. (quote via VH1.com).
