#18: Taylor Swift
It must be surreal to have gone to school with someone who would later become a world-famous star. You’d have known them during their awkward teenage years and maybe even witnessed them perform on the school stage long before they were headlining sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden.

Imagine going to school with Taylor Swift! By all accounts, she was as modest about her talents then as she is today. In fact, when she performed on Good Morning America during high school, her entire year was shocked to realize just how incredible a singer she truly was.
