* UnfortunateImplications: Oh, where to begin with the music video for "You Belong With Me" (and possibly the whole song)? Taylor, [[HollywoodHomely with thick glasses]], plays the dogged childhood friend longing to win the heart of another childhood friend. This friend is involved with a cheerleader also played by Taylor, though with a straight brown wig and lipstick. In the end, the [[HollywoodNerd nerdy girl]] character she plays does win her friend's heart, but only after [[BeautifulAllAlong ditching the glasses]] and putting on a [[WomanInWhite white dress]]. And seeing her play both the HollywoodNerd and the Cheerleader brings stalkeriffic implications that the guy can never be involved with anybody but her. Seriously, it feels even more stalkeriffic that ThePolice's "Every Breath You Take".
** Actually, it's pretty implied that the guy likes her too, he just can't ditch his girlfriend. At the end of the video, Taylor takes out the paper where she wrote 'I love you' earlier. The guy take out a similar note out of his pocket, meaning that he liked her along as well.
** The song "Better Than Revenge" has some pretty unfortunate implications. It's catchy and has some great lines ("sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know, or pushing people down to get to where you want to go" and "no amount of vintage dresses gives you dignity") but in the chorus there is also the line "stealing other people's toys on the playground won't make you many friends". Given that the song is about a girl who stole the singer's boyfriend...yeah.

** TheCoverChangesTheMeaning: Luna Halo's version tends more towards the lust side of attraction. Taylor manages to turn it into a ballad about not being able to admit her love for someone while changing amazingly few of the lyrics. Nevertheless, the changes were still enough for Luna Halo to give Taylor [[http://blogs.tennessean.com/tunein/2009/11/24/nathan-barlowe-of-luna-halo-talks-about-taylor-swift-and-untouchable/ co-writing credit]] for her version.

The heartwarming is pretty well summed up by his tweet about it: "Dear Taylor, everything about you is beautiful. I want you to know I was enchanted to meet you too."
