Stumler was hired by Swift, in the early stages of Swift's career, following a successful fiddle audition for her band. In 2006, Stumler lived on a tour bus with Swift and her mom, Andrea Swift, and performed around the US and Canada.[2][4][5] Stumler performed with Swift at the CMA Fest, at the Grand Ole Opry, and on talk shows.[6][7] She appeared in Swift's music videos, “I’m Only Me When I’m With You” and “Our Song”.[7][8][9]
