Enchanted

“

I wrote "Enchanted" about a guy who I was enchanted to meet, obviously. He was somebody that I had talked to a couple of times on email, and then I was in New York and went to meet him. I remember just the whole way home thinking, "I hope he's not in love with somebody." It was just wonderful, that feeling. Like, "Oh my gosh. Who's he with? Does he like me? Does he like somebody else? What does it mean?" I got home and he had emailed me and said something like, "Sorry I was so quiet. I was just wonderstruck meeting you." And so I incorporated the word wonderstruck, into the song as a, "Hey this one's sorta for you."

”

The song is about Adam Young (the man behind the musical project Owl City). He sang the song back to her, adding her name to it and a few minor changes. [1]

Enchanted is a 2010 song on the album Speak Now. It was used as the theme song for Taylor Swift's new fragrance, Wonderstruck (probably because the word was used in the song's lyrics). The song was also featured on the MTV-released trailer of the 2012 movie The Vow

Swift sang her song (in tour wise) on the Speak Now World Tour, as a surprise song on one of her Red Tour concerts, and mashed it up with Wildest Dreams on The 1989 World Tour, as well as surprising the audience with it during the Reputation Stadium Tour at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ on Jul 21, 2018.

Hidden Message

Hidden message: Adam

Explanation: The Adam in question is Adam Young, the creative mastermind behind Owl City. The two had chatted online and over the phone before meeting for the first time at a party.

Adam later recorded and posted his own version of “Enchanted” to respond to Taylor, with this sweet message attached:

“

Dearest Taylor, I’ll be the first to admit I’m a rather shy boy and since music is the most eloquent form of communication I can muster, I decided to record something for you – as sort of a “reply” to the breathtaking song on your current record. This is what I wanted so badly to tell you in person but could never quite put into words: Everything about you is beautiful. You’re an immensely charming girl with a wonderful heart and more grace and elegance than I know how to describe. You are a true princess from a dreamy fairy tale; a modern Cinderella. I’m terribly sorry it’s taken me such a long time to reply but I figured Valentine’s Day was the perfect time to write this note to you and simply say… I was enchanted to meet you too. Love, Adam

”

Despite their mutual feelings, the two never officially dated. Years later, Taylor dated a different Adam — Adam Wiles, better known as Scottish DJ Calvin Harris.

Lyrics

There I was again tonight

Forcing laughter, faking smiles

Same old tired, lonely place

Walls of insincerity

Shifting eyes and vacancy

Vanished when I saw your face

All I can say is it was enchanting to meet you

Your eyes whispered "Have we met?"

'Cross the room, your silhouette

Starts to make its way to me

The playful conversation starts

Counter all your quick remarks

Like passing notes in secrecy

And it was enchanting to meet you

All I can say is I was enchanted to meet you

Chorus I

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you

The lingering question kept me up

2 am, "Who do you love?"

I wonder 'til I'm wide awake

And now I'm pacing back and forth

Wishing you were at my door

I'd open up and you would say

It was enchanting to meet you

All I know is I was enchanted to meet you

Chorus II

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

That this night is flawless, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you

And this is me praying that

This was the very first page

Not where the story line ends

My thoughts will echo your name

Until I see you again

These are the words I held back

As I was leaving too soon

I was enchanted to meet you

Please don't be in love with someone else

Please don't have somebody waiting on you

Please don't be in love with someone else

Please don't have somebody waiting on you

Chorus II

This night is sparkling, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

That this night is flawless, don't you let it go

I'm wonderstruck, dancing around all alone

I'll spend forever wondering if you knew

I was enchanted to meet you

Please don't be in love with someone else

Please don't have somebody waiting on you
