Age was not a deterrent for Taylor Swift. As a neophyte in the music scene, she was able to earn the praise and respect of her peers in the business. Not to mention the admiration of hordes of fans. This young superstar was able to win Album of the Year from the Academy of Country Music Awards.

When she entered the music scene, she already showed great potential. Taylor Swift was a talented young artist who writes her own songs and plays her guitar well. She is a certified country music artist. She proved this point once again when she made Love Story, the first single from her second album, a hit.

Love Story is from the Fearless album. It talks about a young forbidden love. In it, the girl (obviously Taylor since she tells her story through her songs) is struggling to be with her Romeo which her daddy doesn’t approve of. She sings about going somewhere they can be alone; where she will be the princess and he, the prince.

Juliet tells how she met Romeo for the first time and fell in love with him. Because her daddy doesn’t want her to be with Romeo, she sneaks out to the garden to meet with Romeo.

Juliet is pained with the people around her who keep on telling her what to feel. But her love for Romeo is steadfast so she remains hopeful that she will be with her man. But eventually, she starts to lose faith because she got tired of waiting.

It helped a lot when the songwriter chose to use an allusion to the characters of the classic Shakesperian play Romeo and Juliet. This enabled the audience to relate better to the song and instantly understand what the writer is trying to say. Who doesn’t know the tragic ending to Romeo and Juliet’s love story? Once you hear the name of those two literary characters mentioned in the lyrics, you will instantly know the message of a song.

However, it doesn’t matter if you relate to the message of the song clearly or not. This is one of the case where you take a song in its entireity. It’s undeniable, the song sounds great. Good writing combined with great melody and interpretation.

Taylor Swift has written a very nice song, accompanied it with great, catchy music, and sang it with the gusto of a young girl who is in love. Nothing can be better than that.
