"His situation was a little complicated, but I didn't care", said Swift. When she introduced him to her family and friends, they did not become fond of him. Swift wrote "Love Story" about a man who was never officially her boyfriend. "Love Story" came along late into the production of Fearless. The song topped the Hot Country Songs chart, making Swift the second artist after Dolly Parton to reach number one on the Hot Country Songs with both the original and re-recorded versions of a song. Critics praised it for its crisper production, nostalgic emotion, and Swift's matured vocals. The re-recording of the song, "Love Story (Taylor's Version)", was released on February 12, 2021. "Love Story" was included in the set lists of all of Swift's headlining tours: the Fearless Tour (2009–2010), the Speak Now World Tour (2011–2012), the Red Tour (2013–2014), the 1989 World Tour (2015) and the Reputation Stadium Tour (2018). It follows Swift and model Justin Gaston as they meet in a university campus and imagine themselves in a prior era. The video is a period piece that drew influences from the Medieval, Renaissance, and British Regency eras. The accompanying music video was directed by Trey Fanjoy. It has sold over six million copies in the U.S. A success on pop radio, "Love Story" was the first country song to top the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 chart. In the U.S., "Love Story" peaked at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified eight times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It reached the top five on charts in Canada, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Scotland, and the U.K., and was one of the best-selling singles of 2009 worldwide. The single peaked atop the chart in Australia, where it was certified ten times platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA). The song received widespread critical praise with many complimenting Swift's writing style and the song's catchiness. Musically, "Love Story" is a midtempo country pop song featuring soprano vocals and a slow-building melody. Swift based the song's narrative on the plot of William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet (1597), as told from the perspective of Juliet, but replaced the play's tragic conclusion with a happy ending. Produced by Swift and Nathan Chapman, the song was inspired by a love interest of Swift who was unpopular to her family and friends. It was released on September 15, 2008, by Big Machine Records, as the lead single from Swift's second studio album Fearless (2008). Either way, if Bieber holds out hope of getting back together with Selena at some point (as he just told Ellen), maybe he shouldn’t drag her in one (or more) of his songs." Love Story" is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. But does Selena need to use Bieber’s name to get into a club? And wasn’t she the one who reportedly reunited Justin and his mom, which means Mama Biebs couldn’t really have disliked her that much? Who knows. Then on “Love Yourself,” an acoustic ditty written with Ed Sheeran (who’s been known to burn his exes via song), things get ugly: “All the times that you rain on my parade / And all the clubs you get in using my name / You think you broke my heart, oh girl for goodness sake / You think I’m crying, oh my oh, well no I ain’t.” Later he drops the lowest blow: “Maybe you should know that my mama don’t like you and she likes everyone.” Songwriting hasn’t been this gloriously petty since Carly Simon. Somewhere, Selena Gomez sips on her metaphorical gin and juice.
“Am I in love with you, or am I in love with the feeling?” he wonders. The first, “The Feeling,” is a surefire hit that features Tumblr icon Halsey.
But Biebs is impatient, so he dropped off two new songs on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 show this afternoon. In four days, a new Justin Bieber album will be upon us.
