Young Taylor Swift Sings National Anthem At 76ers Game In Throwback Video

Raise your hand if thought crossover music star Taylor Swift is from Nashville, Tenn.

Well, to everyone with their hands raised: She’s not. Swift was born and raised in Wyomissing, Pa., and as a 12-year-old youngster, she sang the national anthem at a 2002 Philadelphia 76ers game at the former First Union Center, current Wells Fargo Center.

Lucky for us, there’s video.

Swift donned an American flag sweatshirt and headband, and showcased her signature powerhouse voice in her rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner.”

It’s not a love story, but we’ll take it.
