Taylor Swift’s viral Girl Scout pic sends fans into frenzy after she buys music back: 'How cute is this'

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Legends say, “you can take the girl out of the Girl Scouts, but you can’t take the Girl Scouts out of the girl!”
And this is what the Girl Scouts of Michigan meant when they dug up the rare childhood photo of Taylor Swift to celebrate the good news of the pop icon regaining control over the master recordings of her first six albums.
The 35-year-old ‘Karma’ hitmaker ended a long legal battle with her former record label, Big Machine Records, after she bought back her original master recordings for an estimated $360 million.
Girl Scouts celebrates Taylor Swift’s master buyback with adorable childhood pic
The Girl Scouts of Michigan expressed they are proud of the pop sensation as they took to their Facebook page on Saturday, May 31, to share a rare snapshot of a young Swift in her Brownie vest.
The heartwarming photo captured a much younger Swift, likely between the ages of seven and nine, donning a Brownie vest labeled for the Girl Scouts USA Great Valley troop, which links back to Eastern Pennsylvania, where she grew up.
The Grammy Winner posed next to another blonde little girl, who proudly displayed her patches on a ribbon and their squadron number: 665.
The Girl Scouts shared the throwback photo alongside the snap that Swift posted to mark the occasion, which showed her sitting cross-legged on the ground with vinyl copies of her reclaimed works spread around her in a semicircle.
"When Girl Scouts set their minds to something, there’s no limit to what they can achieve. With courage, confidence, and character, we’re building a generation that knows their worth, just like Taylor Swift reclaiming her masters," the organization wrote alongside the snapshots.

In no time, the adorable snap went viral on the internet, garnering more than 16k likes and 2.1k shares in a matter of a few hours.
Reflecting on the outpouring of love for the throwback photo, a spokesperson for the Girl Scouts Heart of Michigan told Newsweek: "We did not expect the reaction we have gotten from the post, but have been touched by the response."
“In Girl Scouts, we celebrate ambitious girls and women—and Girl Scouts Heart of Michigan (including our Swiftie marketing team) couldn't help but celebrate a Girl Scout alum doing what Girl Scouts do best: setting a goal, persevering through obstacles, and keeping their eye on the prize until they see it through to the end,” they continued.

Fans go gaga over Taylor Swift’s childhood pic
The Girl Scouts’ adorable childhood pic of Taylor Swift on Facebook sent her fans into a frenzy, with one saying, “TAYLOR WAS A GIRL SCOUT TOOOOOOOO!”
"Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other's gold," another quoted a song frequently sung by Girl Scouts, likening it to one of Swift's lyrics: "Just like the single thread of gold that ties me to you!"
“Taylor deserves more than a patch, let’s give her a gold award, if anyone has served the public and made a lasting impact, it’s her! Where do I sign to make this happen?” a third user suggested.
“Of course she was a Girl Scout!” a fourth user commented, while the fifth one said “I didn’t know Taylor swift was a Girl Scout…we will need to find a swiftie patch!”
“Of course Tay Tay was a girl scout! Incredible,” one more user praised.

"Hi. I'm trying to gather my thoughts into something coherent, but right now my mind is just a slideshow," Swift wrote. "A flashback sequence of all the times I daydreamed about, wished for, and pined away for a chance to get to tell you this news.”
“All the times I was thiiiiiiiiiiiiis close, reaching out for it, only for it to fall through. I almost stopped thinking it could ever happen, after 20 years of having the carrot dangled then yanked away. But that's all in the past now,” she added.
