I am a total sucker for Taylor Swift songs - although actually a little less with the new album: it's very good but it's less, hmm, swooningly emotional? than a lot of her earlier work.

But I love the fact that Love Story is so unabashedly a wild romantic fantasy, with all the excitement and drama of tragic romance - the secret lovers! torn apart by society! balconies and hidden garden trysts! "cause we're dead if they knew" - but with a happy ending.

The costumes in the music video are pretty awesome too. They're the kind of costumes a romantic teenage girl would sketch when the class discussion of Romeo and Juliet got boring and I love it.
