Taylor Swift, despite her young age, has proven herself in the music scene as a talented singer/songwriter. In such a short span of time, she was able to gain the respect and praise not only of her fans but by her peers in the music industry as well. As a matter of fact, she managed to bag the Album of the Year award at the most recent Academy of Country Music Awards.

When she broke out in the music scene, Taylor Swift immediately showed great potential to be a certified hit maker. Due also to the fact that she writes her songs and she plays the guitar well, she was able to sell herself a true-blue country music artist. This she proved once again when she made a big hit out of the first single of her second album Love Story.

The song is taken from her latest album, Fearless. It tells the story of a forbidden love from two young teenagers. In the song, Juliet, the narrator, begs her Romeo not to leave her and take her somewhere they can be alone. She wants to get away from people who disapproves of her love for Romeo.

She tells the story of how young they were when they saw each other. And that at a young age she would fall in love with Romeo who made his way through the crowd just to say hello. Because daddy wants Romeo to stay away from Juliet, she sneaks out to the garden for a rendezvous with her man and begs him not to go away.

Because people were telling her what to feel, Juliet struggles with the external pressure and her deep feelings for Romeo. She remains true to her love and is hopeful that one day they will be together. However, just like most romances are destined to be, she starts to lose faith because she got tired of waiting for Romeo.

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.

But whether the audience relates to the message of the song or not, the song’s impact is undeniable. Fans love it. This is one of the cases where depth of lyrics doesn’t really matter much. It’s all about the music as a whole.

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.
