2006年冬天,乡村女歌手泰勒·斯威夫特(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。
Taylor Alison Swift (born December 13, 1989) is an American country-pop singer-songwriter. In 2006, she released her debut single "Tim McGraw", which peaked at number six on the Billboard country charts. Later in October 2006, she released her self-titled debut album, which produced five hit singles on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts and was certified 3× Multi-Platinum by the RIAA. The New York Times described Swift as "one of pop's finest songwriters, country’s foremost pragmatist and more in touch with her inner life than most adults".
Today Was a Fairytale
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
Today Was a Fairytale
- Taylor Swift
今天是一个童话，你是王子
我是常常处于忧伤中的女孩
你牵着我的手说六点来接我
今天是一个童话
今天是一个童话
今天是一个童话，我穿着裙子
你穿着深灰色的T恤
你说我很漂亮，当我看起来一团糟时
今天是一个童话
每当你在我身边时，时间总是过得很慢
你能感觉空气里弥漫的魔力吗？
一定是因为你亲吻了我
当我看见你站在那，我便坠入爱河
一定是那样
今天是个童话
一定是那样
今天是一个童话
今天是一个童话
你的笑容带我去到了别的星球
你做的每个动作，你说每一句话都是对的
今天是一个童话
今天是一个童话
我想要说的话，现在已经变得越来越清晰了
当我看到你的时候所有事情都变得有意义了
