Taylor Swift is the eponymous debut album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It was released through Big Machine Records on October 24th, 2006. Swift, who was sixteen years old at the time, had writing credits on all eleven of the album's tracks, with Liz Rose as her cowriter on many.The album tapped into a previously underrepresented demographic: teenage girls who listen to Country Music. Lyrically, the songs focus on Swift's impressions of her relationships—particularly the romantic variety—with an unexpected maturity and tenderness. Her band, The Agency, backed up her talent for catchy hooks with solid bluegrass-influenced twang, and the album shot to the top of the Billboard 200 country charts. It remains the longest-charting album of the 2000s, and all five of its singles reached Top 40 status.

Early-Installment Weirdness
 Taylor Swift (2006) (Music) / int_4f4372e9
comment
Early-Installment Weirdness: Taylor Swift is much closer to traditional country music than the country-pop style Taylor adopted as early as her second album, or the complete abandonment of country as of 1989. Some of the change in sound may be due to her phasing out Liz Rose as a co-writer—Swift and Rose wrote most of the first album together, but only a couple tracks on the second, and only one track on Red.

Bookends: "Tim McGraw" begins and ends with the lines "You said the way my blue eyes shined / Put those Georgia stars to shame that night / I said that's a lie." The radio edit removes the second iteration, and just ends after the last chorus. "Teardrops on My Guitar" begins and ends with "Drew looks at me / I fake a smile so he won't see."

Silly Love Songs: "Our Song" is as goofy and lighthearted as they come: "Stay Beautiful" is a lighthearted love song about hoping that her crush will like her and wishing him the best even if they don't get together. "Mary's Song (Oh My My)" is an extremely upbeat song about a couple who have known and were together since they were kids.

comment
Rearrange the Song: The pop mix of "Our Song", used so widely it appeared on one of the Now That's What I Call Music! albums, replaces fiddle with power chords in the intro and all but does away with the banjo and the silly style of the instrumental. There is a country version on Taylor Swift and a pop version on Fearless, it's really obvious. The pop radio version of "Teardrops on My Guitar" completely replaces the country instrumental from the original with electric guitar, keyboards, and a drum machine.

Break-Up Song: "Tim McGraw" was written when Swift was a freshman to her senior boyfriend, who she knew was going to have to break up with her when he went off to college. "Picture to Burn" is an angry break-up song to another high school boyfriend. "Should've Said No," a message to a former beau who cheated on her.

"That's fine, I'll tell mine you're gay" in "Picture to Burn" was changed to "That's fine, you won't mind if I say" for the radio edit and video version. You'll never hear the original lyrics now, because she never sings them and had the original version removed from streaming and subsequent reissues.
