Taylor Swift - White Horse

White Horse by Taylor Swift Song Info

"White Horse" is a song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift and the second single from her second studio album, Fearless. Big Machine Records released the track to US country radio on December 8, 2008. Swift wrote "White Horse" with Liz Rose and produced it with Nathan Chapman. An understated country pop ballad, the song is driven by a finger-picked guitar and includes piano and cello accents. The lyrics incorporate fairy-tale imagery of princesses and white horses—a narrator is heartbroken on realizing that her boyfriend is not an ideal figure like she thought, and in the end leaves her town with hopes of finding somebody more worthy. Music critics lauded "White Horse" for what they deemed a somber production and a portrayal of universal feelings arising from heartbreak, but some found the lyrics uncreative. At the 2010 Grammy Awards, the track won Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance. In the United States, the single peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number two on the Hot Country Songs chart, and the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) certified it double platinum. The song also charted in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom; it received certifications in the first two countries. Trey Fanjoy directed the song's music video, which depicts Swift reliving memories with her ex-boyfriend after having ended their relationship through a phone call. The video premiered on February 7, 2009, on CMT, and it became the first video to debut at number one on the network's countdown. Swift performed "White Horse" live at the 2008 American Music Awards, on her Fearless Tour (2009–2010), and on select dates of her later tours. Following the 2019 dispute regarding the ownership of Swift's back catalog, she re-recorded the song as "White Horse (Taylor's Version)" for her 2021 re-recorded album Fearless (Taylor's Version). According to a note published in the liner notes of Swift's 2019 album Lover, part of the lyrics to "White Horse" dated from December 2006. She wrote the first verse by herself; co-writer Liz Rose helped her complete the song in 45 minutes. Swift completed writing "White Horse" weeks after she finished the lead single "Love Story", almost one year before the release of Fearless. Swift said she was inspired to write "White Horse" by the moment she realized all the fantasies she had about a boy turned out completely false. The subject was also the inspiration for "Love Story"—Swift never dated him and, although initially infatuated with him, realized he was not an ideal Prince Charming like she thought. She told The Daily Telegraph that she kept his identity anonymous so as to "not glorify his inspirational qualities". Whereas both "Love Story" and "White Horse" feature prominent fairy-tale lyrical imagery, Swift said it was important to regard fairy tales with "both sides"; the former song represented her optimistic and idealistic viewpoint on romance, and the latter her disillusionment with the said notion. Swift intended to leave "White Horse" off Fearless because she felt the album already had a fair share of sad songs. She changed the decision when the producers of Grey's Anatomy wanted to feature the song in the series. Swift recalled that at a meeting set up by her agency with the show's executive producers Shonda Rhimes and Betsy Beers, she played "White Horse" alone on guitar and they "freaked out". The song appeared on the premiere of season five, broadcast on September 25, 2008. Swift was elated by the feature and said it was her "life goal" to have her song on Grey's Anatomy, one of her favorite series. "White Horse" was released as an album cut on Fearless, on November 11, 2008, by Big Machine Records. On December 8, Big Machine released the song to US country radio as the second single from the album. In the United States, "White Horse" debuted and peaked at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart week ending November 29, 2008. It gave Swift her sixth top-20 debut in 2008, which broke the record for the most top-20 debuts in a calendar year by an artist. On Hot Country Songs, the single peaked at number two on the chart week ending April 4, 2009. It was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2014 and had sold two million digital copies in the United States by 2017. The single also charted in Australia (41), Canada (43), and the United Kingdom (60). It was certified gold in the first two countries.

Taylor Swift - White Horse Song Lyrics

Lyrics for artist Taylor Swift song White Horse coming soon. What does Chuck Norris think about this song lyrics? Chuck Norris likes to keep his lawn growing tall and thick so that whenever he has unwanted visitors, he can slip out of his house unnoticed and stalk them like prey. He then jumps toward them like a magnificent lion of the African plains and delivers a fatal roundhouse kick to their face.

This album is when I became a Taylor Swift fan. It’s great, an album that I’ve enjoyed listening the whole way through and not one where I’m skipping ahead to a few singles. Fearless and 1989 are her two best!

- The only thing that keeps me going

i listen to this album everyday

- The Best

Fearless is when Taylor was the prettiest. Her legs was skinny, not like now and her hair was curly. She always had that humble country look, especially as she dresses and talks in a country accent, not like now. Fearless is a brilliant mix of country and pop. Fearless is undoubtedly her best album, with maybe Red as the sole exception.

- NO

STOP BUYING THIS ALBUM. THATS WHY SHES RERELEASING IT. EACH PURCHASE GOES TO SCOOTER BRAUN.

- Love love love

She has every thing a musician needs a beautiful voice a great band and truly amazing lyrics

- Don’t listen to this version anymore

The royalties won’t go to all the right people now. Check out Taylor’s version (Love Story available now, the rest of the album available April 10th)

- Best

So good I love Taylor swift her songs have a lot of meaning

- Like the songs but

NOT a swift fan, needs to keep her political views out of her art. Would rather support scooter then a Hollywood leftist sell out like Taylor.

- Do NOT buy this album.

Do NOT buy this album. Taylor does NOT own this album!!!! Preorder Fearless (Taylor’s version) on her website for $13!!!!! And buy Love Story (Taylor’s Version) tonight at 12am ET!!!!!!!!

- timeless

best artist

- don’t buy this

DO NOT BUY THIS the money goes to scooter braun, who stole the rights to taylor’s music from her. she will not get the profit she deserves. instead wait for the re recording please!!! thankkk youuu <3
