Love Story (Taylor Swift)
Taylor Swift’s song Love Story was written and recorded in the United States. Big Machine Records released it as the debut single from Swift’s second studio album, Fearless, on September 15, 2008. Love Story is based on the story of William Shakespeare’s 16th-century tragedy Romeo and Juliet, and was inspired by a love interest that was unpopular among Swift’s family and friends. Contrary to Shakespeare’s tragic climax, the two protagonists, Romeo and Juliet, end up in a marriage proposal in the song’s tale. The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne is also mentioned in the lyrics (1850). Swift and Nathan Chapman co-wrote and produced the country pop tune, which contains soprano vocals and a slow-building melody of banjo, violin, mandolin, and guitar.
