Ready to see Taylor Swift as you’ve never seen her before?

As an awards show loser? Yeah, right. That will never happen.

Instead, Swift has shared a photo on Lorde’s Twitter profile that takes fans way, way, way back to her childhood.

It features Taylor and her brother Austin on a tractor and here’s the story behind it:

According to Lorde, Taylor and Austin were at the Republic Records VMA Party on Sunday evening when the latter became outwardly overwhelmed by the experience.

"At the after party austin leaned down from the banquette heaving with models in vip to whisper in taylor’s ear ‘we grew up on a FARM!!’" Lorde explained on Twitter.

Appreciating her sibling’s incredulity, Swift then followed up Lorde’s tweet with a picture of her own, one that depicts herself and her brother sitting on her dad’s knee on a tractor from back when they were kids.

"I grew up on a Christmas tree farm in Reading, Penn.," Swift has said in the past.

"It was the most magical fun childhood. We had grape arbours and we would make jam with my mom."

Swift, of course, has come a very long way since then.

She now has a full-on girls squad and she’s dueting with Justin Timberlake and Selena Gomez and she sits atop the entertainment world.

But, as you can see, she never forgets where she comes from.
