Taylor Swift’s video for “Love Story,” the lead single off her second album, has a little bit of Romeo & Juliet flair to it, only it dispenses with all those pesky plot points about people dying and stuff in favor of a misty, watercolored happy ending. (I suppose this is the danger of getting your schooling on the road, and becoming a record-industry success right before you’re about to go into the second semester of senior-year English. Jonas Brothers, take note!) Also, am I the only one who finds it a little weird to hear the 18-year-old Swift singing a song that opens with the lyric “We were first young when I first saw you,” and then goes right into the marriage-proposal fantasy? Oh well, maybe Bristol Palin can play this at her wedding! [YouTube]

I love myself some T. Swift.
Can I call her T. Swift?
If this is the first single, what’s that other song that’s been on the Hot 100 the last couple of weeks?
@MrStarhead: You mean the last 16 weeks. “Should’ve Said No” is on the debut.
Actually, “Change” is also on the new album, but it was previously included as part of something called the AT&T TEAM USA Soundtrack:

So it’s a single off the album, but not the “official” single.
No, it was mentioned in 100 and Single a couple of weeks ago. It’s called “Change.”
@MrStarhead: i’m guessing that was a teaser single, because swift herself referred to ‘love story’ as the first single from the album on her myspace blog:
