Taylor Swift in 2015

"Love Story" is a country pop song written and sung by Taylor Swift (pictured). The song was released on September 15, 2008, as the lead single from Swift's album Fearless. Swift used Romeo and Juliet as a reference point while writing "Love Story", whose lyrics are about a couple's happy ending after enduring a troubled romance. Critics praised the production as catchy and have considered it one of Swift's best singles. "Love Story" peaked in the top five on charts of at least seven countries including the US, where it is Swift's best-selling single. Its music video won Video of the Year at the Country Music Association Awards and CMT Music Awards in 2009. Following the dispute over the ownership of Swift's back catalog, Swift re-recorded the song and released it as "Love Story (Taylor's Version)" in 2021. The re-recorded single topped the Hot Country Songs chart and made Swift the second artist after Dolly Parton to reach number one with both the original and re-recorded versions of a song.

Support as FAC nominator. It would be nice to commemorate this song's 15th anniversary with a TFA feature. Ippantekina (talk) 09:31, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Can we use a photo that is not included in the article? The current photo is not the optimal one imo. Ippantekina (talk) 09:32, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Ippantekina: What is the better image that you are thinking of? Can that image be included in the article? Also, your edits to the blurb caused it to be 1164 characters, more than the 1025 characters allowed. Can you cut some text from the blurb? Z1720 (talk) 13:29, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yep I trimmed it down. I'm looking for alternative photos but if none suffice then this one could do.. Ippantekina (talk) 14:19, 19 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
