"Love Story" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It was released as the lead single from her second studio album, Fearless, on September 15, 2008, by Big Machine Records. Inspired by a boy who was unpopular with his family and friends, Swift wrote the song using William Shakespeare's tragedy Romeo and Juliet as a reference point. The lyrics narrate a troubled romance that ends with a marriage proposal, contrary to Shakespeare's tragic conclusion. Produced by Swift and Nathan Chapman, the midtempo country pop song includes a key change after the bridge and uses acoustic instruments including banjo, fiddle, mandolin, and guitar.

Although inspired by Romeo and Juliet, Swift felt the play could have been "the best love story ever told" had it not been for Shakespeare's tragic ending in which the two characters die.[14] She thus made the narrative of "Love Story" conclude with a marriage proposal, which she deemed a happy ending the characters deserved.[14][15] Swift wrote "Love Story" on her bedroom floor in approximately 20 minutes, feeling too inspired to put the song down unfinished.[11] According to Swift, the song represents her optimistic outlook on love, which is inspired by her childhood fascination with fairy tales.[15] Looking back on "Love Story" after she released her seventh studio album Lover (2019), which is about her first experience of "love that was very real", Swift said the track is "stuff I saw on a movie [and] stuff I read mixed in with some like crush stuff that had happened in my life".[16]

"Love Story" is a midtempo country pop song[22][23] that is driven by acoustic instruments including banjo, fiddle, mandolin, and guitar.[24] Critic Jon Bream from the Star Tribune described the single as "pure pop with a minimalist vibe" that suits both country and pop radio.[22] According to The New York Times, despite the banjo and fiddle, the song could "easily be an emo rocker".[25] Swift's vocals have a slight twang.[26] The mix and master, according to Billboard's Kristen He, are loud and "dynamically flat ... [and are] designed to burst out of FM radio speakers".[24]

The lyrics of "Love Story" narrate a troubled romance between two characters, drawing from the lead characters in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet.[27] According to psychologist Katie Barclay, the song explores feelings of love in the contexts of pain and joy.[28] "Love Story", save for the final refrain, is narrated from Juliet's perspective.[1][29] In the verses, Juliet tells the story of hers and Romeo's challenged courtship, of which her father disapproves.[30] The first verse introduces Juliet in a scene, "We were both young when I first saw you / I close my eyes and the flashback starts, I'm standing there / On a balcony in summer air", which references the balcony scene in Act II, scene ii of Shakespeare's play.[1] In the refrains, which alter slightly as the song progresses to accompany the narrative, Juliet pleads for her love interest to appear, "Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone / I'll be waiting / All there's left to do is run."[28][29]

After the bridge, with accelerated drums and the harmonization of melody and vocals, the final refrain incorporates a key change up a whole step.[33] The final refrain is narrated from Romeo's perspective and tells of his marriage proposal to Juliet after he has sought her father's approval, "I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress."[34] Whereas Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet are secretly married without their parents' approval and both commit suicide, the characters in "Love Story" depart from that ending.[35] According to Tuan, by projecting her feelings and fantasy on a Romeo and Juliet-inspired narrative, Swift created a song that strongly resonates with an audience of teenage girls and young women.[36] Journalist Deborah Evans Price of Billboard agreed but also said "one doesn't have to be a lovestruck teen" to enjoy the song's emotional engagement.[37]

It's a beautiful thing, I love the inlays, and the etchings on the metal, it's a beautifully crafted instrument. I'm a guitar player mostly, but I really love the tone of this instrument. It's mega loud though.

Your voice breathed in my ear

 Or on the telephone

 All the tender things we've whispered

 To keep from feeling alone

 May they never come to be

 Just cold gems set in memory

 Of someone I used to love

I cut my teeth on gumbo rock

 Benny Spellman and Doctor John

 Sweet Irma Thomas and Frog man Henry

 Use to boogie woogie all night long

 Tho I love rock and roll the acoustic guitar

 was the only way I had of becoming a star

 I knew it recognized and traveling around

 But they won't play my record in my ol' hometown

Vegas in the rain, drunk on cheap champagne

 He hears out of tune synthesized chapel bells

 Painfully ringing.

 Where's his limo ride? Who's this foreign bride?

 Is this really Elvis spinning round the ceiling?

 Chorus

 Permanent reminder of a temporary feeling,

 Forgotten fabrications in the chapels of love.

 What is this ring on his finger? Why is he kneeling?

 She's just a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling. ff782bc1db
