Love Story (Taylor Swift Song)
"Love Story" is a song by 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 her 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 includes a key change after the bridge and uses acoustic instruments including banjo, fiddle, mandolin, and guitar.
