Taylor Swift shared this snap of her as a 12-year-old on Instagram

“The last time an album sold as many copies as 1989 did first week, it was 2002, I was 12, and going through my ‘braids phase’,” she wrote alongside the pic.

The 24-year-old also shared a video of her singing Kendrick Lamar's 'Backseat Freestyle', which she captioned: "Industry experts predicted 1989 would sell 650k first week. You went and bought 1.287 million albums. And it's got me like…"

Since its release, ‘1989’ has topped the iTunes chart in 95 countries, while the album’s lead single ‘Shake It Off’ peaked at number one in the iTunes chart in 64 countries.

Earlier this week, the 'Shake It Off' singer announced plans to head off on a ‘1989’ world tour, which will include a stop-off at the British Summertime Festival in Hyde Park.

Kicking off in May, the tour will begin in the US, before Taylor jets arrives in Glasgow for her first ever Scotland gig on 23 June 2015.

She’ll then perform in Manchester on 24 June, before headlining the Hyde Park Festival on 27 June.
