* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Many have speculated that the narrator of "Ours" is singing to another woman, since a lot of the lyrics indicate that people don't approve of the relationship and talk about it behind their backs, but it's never really clear ''why'' (beyond the narrator's father making snide remarks about the love interest's tattoos -- which also fits with this narrative because many consider tattoos to be "unladylike"). The song arguably becomes even sweeter if you think it's about a lesbian relationship; the narrator is saying that no matter the ignorance they may face, she can take it, because they're together.

-->Swift's third album, ''Speak Now'', is roughly twice as good as 2008's ''Music/{{Fearless}}'', which was roughly twice as good as her 2006 debut.
