Trivia
Love Story (2008) adalah salah satu lagu khas Taylor Swift, terinspirasi oleh kisah cinta terlarang, tetapi dengan akhir bahagia dibandingkan dengan tragedi aslinya.
Lagu ini merupakan referensi langsung ke drama klasik Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, di mana Swift membayangkan kekasihnya sebagai Romeo dan dirinya sendiri sebagai Juliet.
Ia menulis lagu ini dalam waktu sekitar 20 menit setelah berkencan dengan seorang pria yang tidak disetujui oleh keluarga dan teman-temannya. Lagu country-pop ini menjadi hit crossover pertamanya di seluruh dunia dan merupakan lagu yang ia mainkan secara konsisten di setiap tur konsernya.
