"You Belong With Me" is a 2009 single from Swift's 2008 album Fearless. Co-written with Liz Rose and co-produced by Nathan Chapman, the song was inspired by an over-the-phone argument between a male friend of hers and his girlfriend.The song was one of Taylor Swift's first big hits, receiving three Grammy Award nominations, peaking at #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reaching #1 on the Billboard Radio Songs chart, becoming the first country song to do so. The song is also known for its troperiffic music video, starring Swift as both the Girl Next Door protagonist and her Cruel Cheerleader rival, alongside Lucas Till as The All-American Boy love interest.The video is from the perspective of a blonde band geek with a crush on her kind-hearted neighbor, a wholesome boy on the football team . . . who is dating a brunette Alpha Bitch cheerleader. The protagonist feels she has a special relationship with her crush, and they frequently exchange messages via large notepads through their opposing bedroom windows. As the video progresses, the love interest slowly realizes that his girlfriend is unpleasant and has cheated on him, while his true affections lie with his neighbor. The video culminates with Taylor turning up to prom to dance with him, and revealing the note she never held up: "I love you." The boy pulls his identical note out of his tuxedo, and they dance Happily Ever After.At the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, the song's music video won the award for Best Female Video, a feat that was quickly overshadowed by what happened as Swift went onstage to give her acceptance speech — Kanye West suddenly took the stage (and the microphone, directly from Swift's hand) to announce his displeasure at Swift's video winning over that of Beyoncé's "Single Ladies". This interruption was the beginning of a long-running feud between the artists, which would work its way into many future songs by Swift.
