Taylor recalled distributing her demo along Music Row hoping it would lead to a record deal.
Back at home, Taylor learned to play guitar so she could stand out from other aspiring singers.
“A development deal is not a full-on record deal,” Taylor explained to CMT.

Taylor told CMT how happy she was about that, despite it not being confirmation of a full-on deal.
“But my dad had to transfer his work to Nashville,” Taylor said.
He would stay at home with Austin while Andrea and Taylor traveled for concerts and tours.

Taylor’s parents never made her feel like she had to make it big.
In an interview with Self, Taylor said they never made the move seem like a burden.
Her mother’s support meant a lot.

Andrea was visibly emotional and mouthed “I love you” back to her daughter.
Without Scott and Andrea’s support, Taylor might not have made it where she is today.
