"Love Story" is a country pop song written and sung by Taylor Swift (pictured). It was released on September 15, 2008, as the lead single from Swift's album Fearless. Swift used Romeo and Juliet as a reference point while writing "Love Story". The lyrics are about a couple's happy ending after enduring a troubled romance. Critics praised the production as catchy and have considered it one of Swift's best singles. "Love Story" peaked in the top five on charts of at least seven countries including the US, where it is Swift's best-selling single. Its music video won Video of the Year at the Country Music Association Awards and CMT Music Awards in 2009. Following the dispute over the ownership of Swift's back catalog, Swift re-recorded the song and released it as "Love Story (Taylor's Version)" in 2021. The re-recorded single topped the Hot Country Songs chart and made Swift the second artist, after Dolly Parton, to reach number one with both the original and re-recorded versions of a song.
