Taylor Swift
is known for her narrative songs about her experiences as a teenager and young adult. As a songwriter, she has been honored by the Nashville Songwriters Association and the Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American singer-songwriter. Raised in Wyomissing, Pennsylvania, Swift moved to Nashville, Tennessee at the age of fourteen to pursue a career in country music. She signed with the independent label Big Machine Records and became the youngest songwriter ever hired by the Sony/ATV Music publishing house.
Here are few of the songs that Taylor Swift wrote about the people that were part of her life:
"Teardrops on my Guitar" was written for Drew Hardwick. Taylor Swift had a hidden crush on his seat mate Drew during their high school years. When Drew learned that the song was written for him, he asked Taylor Swift if he had a chance now, however Swift rejected him because it was just so late for Drew to realize it now.
"Stay Beautiful" was written for a guy named Cory. According to Taylor Swift... “This is a song I wrote about a guy I never dated! Wow, right? Haha. This song is about a guy I thought was cute, and never really talked to him much. But something about him inspired this song, just watching him.”
"Hey Stephen" was written for Stephen Liles from the band Love and Theft. Taylor wrote this when they were on tour together.
"Forever and Always" and "Last Kiss" as every one know was for a guy named Joe Jonas who broke up with Taylor Swift via 27-second phone call (Jerk!).
"Mine" was supposedly written for Cory Monteith even though the hidden word in her album is Toby (the guy from her music video). Cory and Taylor were sitting by a lake and he put his arm around her but that’s about far as it got because she was scared. But then she started thinking about what their relationship would be like if he was the one she stopped running away from love.
"Back to December" was written for Twilight hunk, Taylor Lautner. Although Taylor Swift never confirmed that it was for Taylor Lautner, the hidden message found on her album is “Tay” so it’s very much obvious that this is for Lautner.
"Dear John" and "The Story of Us" was written by Taylor Swift for the same person named John Mayer.
"Enchanted" was written for Owl City’s Adam Young. It is reported that after attending a concert of Owl City, Taylor was so enchanted that she made a song of meeting Adam.
"Innocent" was written for Kanye West. Although she never confirmed it, when Taylor was performing this song live there is a video flashback of how Kanye interrupted her moment at the VMA’s 2009.
"Should’ve Said No" was written by Taylor Swift for her ex-boyfriend Sam who she broke up with after learning that he cheated on her.
"Better than Revenge" was supposed to be aimed to Camilla Belle who every body knows stole Joe Jonas from Taylor Swift. “She’s not a saint and she’s not what you think she’s an actress.”
"Long Live" was written by Taylor Swift for her band, her producer and her fans. It is like a thank you song.
"Speak Now" was written by Taylor Swift for one of her friends. Her friend’s ex-boyfriend is marrying someone else and Taylor had a dream that night that one of her ex-boyfriend was marrying and upon waking up she immediately went into writing a song of how it would feel like to go stop a wedding.
