Filed under New Tracks - Country
Taylor Swift - You Belong With Me - Pop Mix - I definitely love my fair share of country, but this “Mix” is fantastically done. It’s got a great Pop / Rock feel to it. Up there with the original, and probably better. 8/10

Taylor Swift - Love Story Lyrics
Taylor Swift - Love Story Lyrics
We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes and the flashbacks start
I’m standing there
On a balcony in summer air
See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello
Little did I know
That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said, “Stay away from Juliet”
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you, please don’t go
And I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting, all there’s left to do is run
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story
Baby, just say yes
So, I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet cause we’re dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while
Oh oh
Cause you were Romeo, I was the scarlet letter
And my daddy said, “Stay away from Juliet”
But you were my everything to me
I was begging you, please don’t go
And I said
Romeo, take me somewhere we can be alone
I’ll be waiting, all there’s left to do is run
You’ll be the prince and I’ll be the princess
It’s a love story
Baby, just say yes
Romeo, save me
They try to tell me how I feel
This love is difficult, but it’s real
Don’t be afraid, we’ll make it out of this mess
It’s a love story
Baby, just say yes
Oh oh
I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town
And I said
Romeo, save me
I’ve been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you, but you never come
Is this in my head
I don’t know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
And said
Marry me, Juliet, you’ll never have to be alone
I love you and that’s all I really know
I talked to your dad
Go pick out a white dress
It’s a love story
Baby, just say yes
Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
‘Cause we were both young when I first saw you

Taylor Swift - Crazier - This track is from the Hanana Montana Soundtrack, which scared me from the start. It’s a decent track, but it might take me a few more listens to get me fully on board. 6/10

Q&A: Taylor Swift’s ‘Fearless’ approach to stardom

Q&A: Taylor Swift’s ‘Fearless’ approach to stardom
Now that Taylor Swift has entered the realm of superstardom, life is changing around her.
A trip to the mall is now defined by points and stares. She can’t go to a restaurant without gawking by fellow diners. And like other celebrities, she finds almost every move monitored by paparazzi.
But you won’t hear Swift complain. She considers the loss of any privacy a small price to pay for living her dream.
At 19, the country singer-songwriter is one of the biggest stars in music. Her sophomore album, “Fearless,” has sold more than 3 million copies; her self-titled debut went double-platinum; and she’s on a best-selling tour. This Sunday, “Dateline NBC” devotes a special to her, taking fans backstage to show Swift’s life behind the performances.
Swift talked about how her world is changing — but she’s remaining the same — in a recent interview.
AP: Has success been overwhelming?
Swift: Well, it’s really fun. I wanted this, since the time I was a little girl. I’ve always just wished that maybe someday people would care about the words that I wrote. I’m so lucky that my songs are basically my diary put to music. I’m so lucky that I get to write my own music and write my own stories, so every single time I look down in the audience and I see somebody singing the words back to me, it makes it all worth it.
AP: Your music is autobiographical. Does being under the microscope make you more gun-shy about revealing so much?
Swift: You know I don’t really rebel in a lot of areas in my life. … But the one place where I’m allowed to rebel, and the one place where I’m allowed to not worry about censoring myself is my music. I don’t need to edit names out of songs and I don’t need to edit details out of my songs because I’ve always been able to be honest with my music. That’s the one place where I’m never ever going to change how I do things.
AP: You’re touring with Kellie Pickler. What’s it like being on the road with one of your best friends?
Swift: We are just absolutely such close friends and almost like sisters at this point. She and I will like sit in the dressing room ’til 2 or 3 a.m. just talking and painting our nails. It’s so much fun to just have another person out on tour with you that you know you’re so close with and you’ve known you for a really long time, to the point where you really just feel like they’re family.
AP: You were recently on “CSI” and show a dramatic flair in your videos. Do you want to develop your acting?
Swift: My favorite thing in the world is telling stories, and most of what I do is telling stories through music. But when I get to tell a story through music videos or “CSI,” that’s fun for me, too … It’s all about finding the story that I want to tell, so I’m definitely open to acting roles, it just depends on the story.
AP: These days, are you less likely to date someone in the public eye? (Swift had a public romance and breakup with Joe Jonas.)
Swift: When I’m thinking about going on a date with some guy or considering liking him, it really doesn’t matter what they do or how that affects my career. … When you strategize a relationship too much, like, “We’re not gonna be public about it, and we’re gonna say this in interviews,” when you think it all out, I think that complicates the relationship and I think that’s unfair for the relationship. I don’t look for boyfriends, I don’t really scour the awards shows for who I’m going to date (laughs), but I think love happens when you’re not looking for it, and when it happens, I’m not going to be the one to overthink it.
AP: You’re friends with Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez. What kind of camaraderie do you have with them?
Swift: I’ve always approached this from the place where I don’t compete with other girls. I don’t compete with other people in the industry, I compete with myself. If I looked at every other girl in the entertainment industry as competition, my life would be really lonely. I wouldn’t have some of the coolest friends that I’m so glad I’ve gotten to know over the last couple of years. … It’s really awesome to get to hang out with those girls and to call them friends.
Fangirls, Riot Police Out in Full Force for Jonas Brothers Taylor Swift less Gig

Fangirls, Riot Police Out in Full Force for Jonas Brothers Taylor Swift less Gig
The memo on waning Jonas Brothers mania apparently has yet to reach Lima, Peru.
Riot police were called to the city’s oceanfront Marriott Hotel Sunday when more than 1,000 hormonal fans took to the streets to form a tearful, shrieking and otherwise order-be-damned welcome wagon for the brothers Jonas.
“There are thousands of fans outside the hotel,” Kevin, Nick and Joe wrote on their website. “The police were called in to control the crowd…Can’t wait to meet everyone!”
The feeling was apparently mutual.
“We just woke up to the sounds of fans screaming downstairs outside of our hotel,” the siblings added this morning. “What a great way to start off our new world tour!”
The Disney-made brothers arrived in the South American nation in advance of two concerts set to take place tonight and tomorrow in the capital city. The second date was a late addition to the itinerary, added just days ago after the trio postponed a show in Mexico due to the swine flu scare.
As a result of the preteen (one hopes) swarm, police were forced to block off traffic in the streets surrounding the hotel. Dozens of megafans even went so far as to spend the night in a park neighboring the hotel in order to catch the first glimpse of the Joni.
Both of the Jonas Brothers’ Lima concerts sold out within hours of tickets being made available, with 60,000 fans—and, presumably, their mothers—expected each night.
And perhaps the adoring crowd will be treated to some new tunes off the JoBros’ upcoming fourth studio album, Lines, Vines and Trying Times, which is due out June 19. But, if the trio plays tunes like “Poison Ivy,” the fans shouldn’t read too much into them.
The lyrics “Caught in a nightmare / Can’t wake up / That’s why my ex is still my ex / I never trust a word she says / I’m running all the background checks / And she’s freaking out” do not refer to Joe’s scorned ex, Taylor Swift.
He wasn’t even in the room when those lyrics were being written, Joe insisted to E! News.
“This is really funny because people think this is about something particular but the truth to that is it’s one of the only songs of the record that’s not about a direct personal experience,” Nick said.
“It’s, like, the most general song,” added Kevin.

Taylor Swift - You Belong With Me Lyrics
Taylor Swift - You Belong With Me Lyrics
You’re on the phone with your girlfriend
She’s upset.
She’s going off about something that you said
‘Cuz she dosent get your humor like I do…
I’m in the room
It’s a typical Tuesday night
I’m listening to the kind of music she dosen’t like
And she’ll never know your story like I do’
But she wears short skirts
I wear T-shirts
She’s cheer captain
And I’m in the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up
And find what you’re looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I’m the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can’t you see, you
You belong with me
You belong with me
Walkin’ the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
I can’t help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself
Hey isn’t this easy
And you’ve got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven’t seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say your fine
I know you better then that
Hey whatcha doing with a girl like that
She wears high heels
I wear sneakers
She’s cheer captain and I’m on the bleachers
Dreaming about the day when you wake up
That what you’re looking for has been here the whole time
If you could see that I’m the one who understands you
Been here all along so why can’t you see
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time how could you not know
Baby…
You belong with me
Oh’
I remember you drivin’ to my house in the middle of the night
I’m the one who makes you laugh
When you know your about to cry
And I know your favorite songs
And you tell me about your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know it’s with me…
Can’t you see that I’m the one who understands you
Been here all along
So why can’t you see
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time
How could you not know
Baby you belong with me
You belong with me
You belong with me
Have you ever thought just maybe
You belong with me
You belong with me…
