It seems ridiculous that it took someone singing this song utterly terribly on American Idol for me to learn of the existence of this absolutely brilliant song. When a Taylor Swift song is mentioned, it's always Love Story or Teardrops on My Guitar, both of which I find quite drearily average. If I wanted girly country-pop, I'd listen to the far superior Marit Larsen. However, You Belong With Me is equal to anything Marit's done - and that's a huge compliment! It's super-catchy with great lyrics and the country vibe makes it stand out from other female teen-pop songs. I still hate her face, but if she can continue making acetastic pop songs like this, I may soon consider myself a fan of Taylor Swift!
