Not a supercar, this is the first car of ‘Queen of Pop’ Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift’s first car wasn’t a compact or a convenient means of transportation, but a white Hummer H2 “dinosaur” borrowed from her parents.

Taylor Swift’s “Eras” tour is currently the most anticipated music event by the singer’s fans in particular and music lovers in general.

One of the highlights of Taylor Swift’s “The Eras Tour” was her performance of an acoustic version of her hit song “Getaway Car” during the second show at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) on February 17, 2024.

“Getaway Car” is from Taylor’s studio album “Reputation”, released in 2017. The song’s lyrics use the image of a getaway car as a metaphor to describe running away from an unhealthy relationship.

Which is Taylor Swift’s real “getaway car”?

After Taylor Swift’s private jet landed in Melbourne, Australia on February 15, the singer and her team headed to the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) the following day. Taylor’s convoy included Range Rovers and black Mercedes-Benz SUVs.

But while the current “Queen of Pop” prefers discreet cars and uses a personal driver, Taylor as a teenager preferred to drive around by herself in a “dinosaur” Hummer H2.

A video clip shows 16-year-old Taylor Swift driving on the streets of Tennessee (USA) in her parents’ white Hummer H2.

The video was captured during a 2006 television interview of Taylor, in which she also shared about her driving style.

The 2006 Hummer H2 was a bold choice for a first car. It was a six-seater with a wheelbase of over three metres. The Hummer H2 was powered by a 6.0L V8 engine that produced 242 kW of power and 500 Nm of torque.

After 18 years, Taylor Swift’s boyfriend Travis Kelce – an American football star – now owns a new generation GMC Hummer electric pickup truck.

The starting price of the 2024 GMC Hummer electric pickup is $98,845 (about 151,208 UAD), excluding on-road costs. The vehicle has a maximum range of up to about 613 km after each charge.

Kelce is an avid car collector, the football player owns an impressive collection of new electric cars and classic American muscle cars.

In the early days of their relationship, Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce made headlines when they were photographed leaving an NFL game in a burgundy 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle SS convertible, owned by Kelce.
