Love the fiddle solo on this song. Overall, I think it does a good job telling the story. I actually don’t mind the fact that she gave “Romeo and Juliet” a happy ending. I was never a big fan of the real ending. Besides, this song is not meant to have all the social commentaries of the original play – it’s just a pleasant tune that tells a story.

Song is catchy, but the lyrics are cheesy. Last time I checked, Romeo and Juliet died at the end.

For the life of me I cannot understand why so many people are so quick to be critical of Taylor Swift. She has a great voice, writes great lyrics (unlike a lot of other musicians who have other people write their songs for them), and plays an excellent guitar. I know the majority of her fan base consists of teenage girls but she has a lot of other fans that aren’t teenagers or even females for that matter. There is not another person’s music that I enjoy listening to right now more than Taylor Swift. I preordered her cd (Fearless) which is coming out next week and I look very foward to listening to it. She is only 18 and I look forward to enjoying many many more years of her continuing to make wonderful music.

I’m pretty sure Dan’s just jealous of Blake’s wealth and influence.

“I’m just going to come right out and say it so the good CU readers don’t have to wonder anymore: I hate Blake.

is that true? That’d be rad. Blogger disdain/in-fighting/and resentment are awesome.

I agree with a lot of the comments, both good and bad, but I do happen to like the song and I respect the fact that she has written a pretty good crossover song. I mean, as we have said, she is a teenager, so if she can have music on both (or several) charts at once, what’s wrong with that? Sounds to me like she knows her audience. Matter of fact, she’ll probably end up with better album sales and I cant think of that ever hurting anyone’s career…

Hate the sin (oversized ego, arrogant writing skills, expertise on all things moody power pop), love the sinner (Blake).

Wow, some of you guys are so harsh! Taylor is a young artist. She writes cute songs that people her age can relate to, and who cares if she doesn’t have a voice like Mariah Carey? She’s a good role model and sings good music.

p.s. Love story may not go along with how Romeo and Juliet really went, but who cares? It’s just a song. A cute song.
