#ThrowbackThursday to "Where It All Began" for Dan + Shay in March, 2014

#ThrowbackThurday to 12 years ago this week when Dan + Shay's debut album Where It All Began was on Spotify to stream for free before its official release date on April 1! I cannot believe it's been over a decade since I became a fan of the duo! Time really flies when you're having fun! And I am more than ready to enter this fresh chapter with Dan + Shay as they begin to release new music very soon!

At the time, I had the free version of Spotify, so I would get commercials in between songs and see advertisements on the application. One of those advertisements I saw was that I could stream the album for free that last week of March.

I do not think I was following any of their accounts on social media until I listened to the project for the first time. However, as I was scrolling Instagram this week for gems from the start of Dan + Shay's career, I found this one about the project's early release for streaming that Dan Smyers shared on March 25, 2014 via his personal (Instagram) account.

Today's #ThrowbackThursday picture features Smyers with two copies of their album in his hand. His and girlfriend Abby's dogs at the time (Joy and Miller) are looking at him. He added a clever caption to the post!

"We have to wait one more week?", Smyers wrote from the perspective of the expression on his dogs faces. "Nope! Stream out ENTIRE album on @Spotify now!"
