Writing and inspiration [edit]

"Love Story" came forth late into the production of Fearless.[1] Swift wrote "Love Story" nearly a homo who was never officially her boyfriend. When she introduced him to her family unit and friends, they did non become fond of him.[ii] "His situation was a little complicated, only I didn't care", said Swift.[three] Swift also felt similar it was the first time she could relate to the plot of William Shakespeare'south Romeo and Juliet (1597), one of her favorite narratives, which she described as, "The only people who wanted them to be together were them."[2] She conceived the thought for the song when she reflected about the scenario: "I thought, 'This is difficult just information technology'southward real, it matters—it'southward not simple or easy just it'south real'." She then centered the vocal on the line, which was ultimately placed in the "Love Story"'s second refrain.[4] All events, with the exclusion of the end, narrated in the song regarded Swift's actual story. The song's conclusion differed from that of Romeo and Juliet. "I feel like they had such promise and they were and so crazy for each other. And if that had just gone a fiddling bit differently, it could take been the all-time love story ever told. And it is one of the best beloved stories ever told, but information technology's a tragedy." Instead, she chose to write a happy catastrophe.[5] She took her favorite characters and conceptualized the ending she believed they deserved.[6] She perceived it to be the ideal ending that girls hoped for, including herself.[4] "Yous want a guy who doesn't care what anyone thinks, what anyone says." Although it was fictional, Swift said information technology was an enjoyable experience to write nearly.[3] Swift wrote the rails on her bedroom flooring in approximately 20 minutes, feeling besides inspired to put the song down unfinished.[2]

Swift and her love involvement never did appointment. The failure of their relationship inspired another vocal on Fearless, "White Horse", which became the second single released from the album.[7] To Swift, "Beloved Story" resembles much optimism regarding dear and how encountering the correct person could surpass skepticism.[half-dozen] She deemed "Love Story" one of her about romantic songs, although she was never in an official human relationship with the subject of the song.[two] In hindsight, Swift said the vocal is "about a beloved that you've got to hibernate because for any reason it wouldn't go over well", adding "I spun information technology in the direction of Romeo and Juliet. Our parents are fighting. I relate to it more than as a love that you cannot really elaborate on — a honey that maybe society wouldn't accept [or] maybe your friends wouldn't have."[8]

Recording [edit]

"Honey Story" was recorded in March 2008 at Blackbird Studios in Nashville, Tennessee, aslope record producer Nathan Chapman and various personnel.[9] Swift sang into an Avantone CV-12 multi-pattern tube microphone, manufactured by Avant Electronics.

Although he previously had tested numerous microphones on Swift, he had not been able to find one to match her vocalization perfectly. When Swift came to Chapman's abode to record a radio edit for i of the singles from Taylor Swift, she immediately grew fond of the microphone.[ix] "When she put on the headphones and said, 'Examination,' completely unprompted, she said, 'This is my mic. I love this mic. I just wanna apply this i from now on!' She had no idea what information technology was, just loved information technology, and I went along with something that felt right for her. We've been using it e'er since, and information technology sounds nifty on her vox," Chapman said.[ix]

"Love Story" was recorded with Pro Tools and tracking vocals, which Swift sang alive with the ring. The band consisted of acoustic guitars, bass guitars, and drums.[9] All other instruments were overdubbed by Chapman. He said, "I think there are nine acoustic guitars on that track, and I stacked several background vocals — me singing, 'Ah'south'."[9] Sound engineering was executed by Chad Carlson in Blackbird Studios' Studio D, with the usage of the API Legacy Plus equipments: Avantone CV-12, Neve 1073, and Tube-Tech CL-1B. Audio mixing done by Justin Niebank and was prepare in Studio F, with the usage of the panel Solid Country Logic 9080 K serial and Genelec 1032 console. In between, overdubs were executed in Studio E past Chapman.[9] "Love Story", along with the rest of the album, was mastered past Hank Williams at MasterMix Studios in Nashville, Tennessee.[10] The vocal was mixed for mainstream airplay by Chapman. He pulled Niebank'south stems into his Mac Os laptop and used Apple Logic to create the pop version. Chapman made mix tweaks and created new elements with his laptop. In guild to do then, he muted the country instruments and replaced them with new elements feature to pop music, replacing banjo and fiddle with electric guitar. The pop version's opening beat is a Logic loop in the Ultrabeat beat generator. All the new electric guitars were done with the Amplitube Stomp I/O.[9]

Composition [edit]

The re-recorded version remains faithful to the 2008 version, not departing from the original production.

Richard S. He, reviewing for Billboard, was impressed with the song's mixing. He wrote that the original was "a loud, dynamically flat mix and master designed to burst out of FM radio speakers", while the re-recorded version offers a well-balanced, lush, "impressive" mix that elevates the song'due south dreamy atmosphere. He also pointed out that the instruments in the original'due south chorus "seemed to blend into one big wall of audio", whereas "Love Story (Taylor's Version)" boasts an ambient with individual instruments.[12] In his BBC review, Mark Savage wrote that the two versions were barely different, praising the "crisper" quality of "Love Story (Taylor's Version)", which allows the listeners to pick upward instrumental details that were lost in the 2008 version. He highlighted that Swift's matured vocals and enunciation add depth and warmth to the song, while however capturing the "romantic innocence" of a teenager.[173] Robert Christgau believed "Swift's voice retains a great deal of freshness", but questioned the value of her reproducing by songs, saying that he "can't imagine notwithstanding that I'd lay out money for the re-recordings".[178]
