Tim McGraw - Commentary

Hey I'm Taylor Swift, and you're listening to
Big Machine Radio
And I'm Becca

And we are celebrating the anniversaries
Of the release of Taylor Swift's albums
Because you know she always tends
To release her albums in October or November
That means there are alot of milestones
To celebrate around this time of year

In fact, it was twelve years ago
That we were first introduced to Taylor
Through her self-titled debut album
You know when you think about it
It's hard to believe it's already been twelve years
And in some ways, it's hard to believe
It's ONLY been twelve years

But it happened October 24, 2006
That's when the world was introduced
To Taylor Swift and all of her incredible songs
Like "Tim McGraw", "Teardrops on My Guitar"
"Picture to Burn", and all of those songs
That laid the foundation for what has become
An incredible career for Taylor Swift

And during this special, we're gonna re-visit
Every single one of those songs
Off of Taylor Swift's debut album
We're also gonna be hearing from Taylor
We have dug back in our archives
And found Taylor talking about this album
And where she was at in her life back in that time

Not surprising, she says "Tim McGraw"
Is a song that she wrote based on one of her
True personal life stories, and in fact
She did't actually think that it would be
As significant in her career as it was

I wrote it about this guy that I was dating
Who was about to go off to college
And I knew we were gonna break up
So I started thinkin' about all the things
I knew that would remind him of me
And, um, you know one of the first things
That came to mind was Tim McGraw
And this song really
I didn't think anyting of it when I wrote it
Certainly didn't think it would be a single
Certainly didn't think it would be a hit single
And, you know, when I played it for my record label
They were just like, "Well, that's your first single."

For alot of people
This was their introduction to Taylor Swift
When this song came on the radio
It's "Tim McGraw" on Big Machine Radio
