2006年冬天,乡村女歌手Taylor Swift推出她的首支单曲,以当红乡村巨星Tim McGraw的名字作标题,引起广大的注意。也打进了乡村排行榜前十.另人惊奇的是,Taylor Swift不但是歌曲的作者,她首张同名专集里面的所有歌曲也都是她亲自参与谱写的,而当时他才十五岁.当十六岁的Taylor Swift来自宝洲,由于外婆曾经是个专业的歌剧演员,从小便爱上了音乐,特别的乡村,年方十岁就开始在家乡一带到处表演,十二岁那年,她开始苦练吉他, 每天至少四个小时,经常弹到手指破皮流血,同时开始尝试作曲,决心进入歌坛.
Taylor Swift的歌喉似乎不是那么早熟,甚至还带有些许小女孩的甜美,但她以相当成熟的创作技巧弥补了一切,风格有些类似早期的Shery Crow,虽然她在创作方面的表现相当超龄,她却没有不自量力的探讨自己有限的生活体验之外的内容,绝大多数歌曲都是自己所熟悉的题材,生动的描绘着青春 期的喜怒哀乐.
Today was a fairytale, you were the prince.
I used to be a damsel in distress.
You took me by the hand and you picked me up at six.
Today was a fairytale。
Today was a fairytale.
Today was a fairytale, I wore a dress,
You wore a dark grey T-shirt
You told me I was pretty when I looked like a mess.
Today was a fairytale.
Time slows down,Whenever you're around.
Can you feel this magic in the air?
It must have been the way you kissed me.
Fell in love when I saw you standing there.
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale.
It must have been the way
Today was a fairytale.
Today was a fairytale,
You've got a smile that takes me to another planet.
Every move you make, everything you say is right.
Today was a fairytale.
Today was a fairytale,
All that I could say is now it's gettin so much clearer.
Nothin' made sense till the time I saw your face.
