‘You Belong with Me’ (2009)

"You Belong With Me," the third single from Taylor Swift's second album, Fearless, was another anthemic, pop-flavored country track that became her biggest hit in the United States when it reached No. 2. Taylor's styling – this time as the high-school sweetheart that other young ladies might still identify to – was getting more subtle as she grew more confident in her video performances. However, the song's brilliant composition and catchy chorus should not be overlooked because of the vivid image Taylor was attempting to create. Only the most jaded of music snobs could ignore the great songwriting abilities she was beginning to display.

Not only is "You Belong With Me" nostalgic, but it's also one of her most popular songs. The music video was nominated for a VMA award in 2009, and rightfully so. It takes a fresh approach to the typical "nerdy girl meets football star" theme, and it hooks listeners with a catchy chorus and intriguing verses.

Favorite Lyric: Walk in the streets with you in your worn-out jeans/I can’t help thinking this is how it ought to be/Laughing on a park bench thinking to myself/Hey isn’t this easy?
