You Belong With Me

Sign in to edit

"You Belong With Me" is the sixth track from Taylor Swift's second studio album, Fearless. The song became the third single from the album on April 21, 2009. It is also the sixth track from her debut re-recorded album, Fearless (Taylor's Version), released on April 9, 2021, through Republic Records.

Background[]

Swift became inspired to write "You Belong With Me" after she overheard a male friend of hers speaking to his girlfriend through a phone call.[1] He acted defensive as his girlfriend yelled at him, and said to her, "No, baby...I had to get off the phone really quickly... I tried to call you right back... Of course I love you. More than anything! Baby, I’m so sorry."[1] Out of the sympathy she felt towards him in the situation, Swift developed a concept for a song.[1] In a writing session with co-writer Liz Rose, Swift explained the situation along with her idea and conceived the song's opening line, "You’re on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset / She's going off about something that you said."[1] Together, they developed a story line, which described Swift being in love with the male friend and her having the desire for him to breakup with his current girlfriend for her.[1] Swift described the song's concept as "basically about wanting someone who is with this girl who doesn't appreciate him at all. Basically like 'girl-next-door-itis.' You like this guy who you have for your whole life, and you know him better than she does but somehow the popular girl gets the guy every time."[2] Swift recalled, "It was really fun for us to write the line, 'She wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts'."[1] "You Belong With Me" was first released as a promotional single from Fearless on November 4, 2008, as part of Countdown to Fearless, an exclusive campaign by the iTunes Store;[3] the song was then released as the third single from Fearless on April 21, 2009.[4]

Music video[]

"You Belong With Me"s accompanying music video was directed by Roman White. In the video, Swift portrays both the protagonist and antagonist of the music video, which she respectively described as "the nerd, who is pining away for this guy that she can't have" and "the popular girl."[2] Swift described the popular girl's persona as "horrible and scary and intimidating and perfect".[5] Her love interest is portrayed by American actor Lucas Till; Swift met Till while acting on the set of Hannah Montana: The Movie on April 2008. She later asked him to act in the video, as she was intrigued by his "cool look", embodying a "dreamy guy".[5] In regards to his acting on the video, Swift said, "He's absolutely perfect for the part and really fun to be around, too."[2] According to her, the video's plot is "charming"; she also said that, "the whole video, I'm just sitting there pining away, wishing I could be in her position."[5] In regards to the video's conclusion, White explained that Swift "becomes who she really is", while Swift thought it was a happy ending.[5] Swift commented, "One of my favorite things about this video is that there wasn't a standard performance scene. This video was pretty much all story line and I'm narrating it in the moment, basically narrating while all this is happening around me."[5]

The video was shot in two days between Gallatin, Tennessee and Hendersonville, Tennessee.[2] On the first day of filming, Swift used a body double in order for both Swift, as the protagonist and antagonist, to appear in one shot.[5][6] In a scene where she appeared dancing, White replaced Swift's routine with a one having no rhythm; she recalled, "It was some of the most fun I'd had in a long time, just freaking out and doing the dumbest moves."[5] On the second day, they first filmed a prom scene and, lastly, the football game, both being filmed at Pope John Paul II High School. The school supplied many students as extras, including football players, band members, cheerleaders and students for the final prom scene. When filming for a touchdown, Till was unable to catch the ball, furthering the length of the shoot.[5] "You put a lot of good solid effort in it and it looks good", Swift stated about filming.[5]

The video commences with Till arguing with his girlfriend through a phone call. As soon as Swift, as the protagonist, notices, they begin to communicate by holding up signs through their bedroom windows. Till closes his curtains, and Swift holds up a sign saying, "I love you". As the song's chorus approaches, Swift starts to sing and dance in front of a mirror, changing to different clothing multiple times. Afterward, Swift is sitting in a bench while reading a book. Till arrives and the two converse. Then, Swift, as the antagonist, arrives in a red convertible car and Till gets in it; Swift, as the antagonist, kisses him and gives a vicious look towards the protagonist. Suddenly, she is seen cheerleading at a football game while Swift's other persona is in the bleachers, performing in the school band. After scoring the winning touchdown, Till moves toward his girlfriend and finds her flirting with a teammate; meanwhile, Swift, as the protagonist, stares in amazement. Back in their bedroom windows, they again communicate through signs, Till asked Swift, as the protagonist, if she was attending prom and she responded, "no, studying". Shortly after, Swift is seen entering prom with a white dress, no longer looking like a nerd, while all her peers stare in amazement. When Till spots her, he walks towards her and Swift, as the antagonist, attempts to impede him, but he ignores her. Ending the video, Till and Swift reveal folded signs saying "I love you" and kiss.

The video premiered on May 2, 2009, on CMT.[7] Chris Ryan of MTV commented, "'You Belong With Me' was a teen rom-com wrapped up in a music video, wherein Swift plays two roles.[8] See Dooley of About.com believed Swift worked "doubly hard", playing two roles.[9] A Times Editor review from The St. Petersburg Times compared the large glasses Swift wore to those of Clark Kent.[10] Michael Deacon of The Daily Telegraph felt the video suited the song, "in that they’re equally sappy and dull".[11]

In the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, the video won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video. During Swift's acceptance speech, American rapper Kanye West interrupted Swift, grabbing the microphone and stating, "Yo Taylor, I'm really happy for you and I'ma let you finish, but Beyoncé [Knowles] had one of the best videos of all time", regarding her video for "Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It)".[12] According to Jayson Rodriguez of MTV News, Knowles "looked on from the crowd, stunned".[12] Later in the evening, during her acceptance speech for winning the MTV Video Music Award for Video of the Year, Knowles told about her first experience winning her first Video Music Award with Destiny's Child and how much it meant to her. She then called Swift from backstage to complete her acceptance speech.[13] Numerous critics, celebrities, and fans criticized West's actions, including the President of the United States, Barack Obama, who called West a "jackass".[14] At first, West made no effort in contacting Swift, but he later issued an apology, which Swift accepted.[15] The video was nominated for Video of the Year at the 45th Academy of Country Music Awards.[16] At the 2010 CMT Music Awards, the video received nominations for the CMT Music Award for "Video of the Year" and "Female Video of the Year", but lost to Carrie Underwood's "Cowboy Casanova" and Miranda Lambert's "White Liar", respectively.[17] The video was nominated for the MuchMusic Video Award for Best International Artist Video and the MuchMusic Video Award for People's Choice: Favourite International Video, but lost to Miley Cyrus' video for "Party in the U.S.A." and Adam Lambert's video for "Whataya Want From Me" at the 2010 MuchMusic Video Awards, respectively.[18]

Lyrics[]

[Verse 1]
You're on the phone with your girlfriend, she's upset
She's going off about something that you said
'Cause she doesn't get your humor like I do
I'm in the room, it's a typical Tuesday night
I'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
And she'll never know your story like I do

[Pre-Chorus]
But she wears short skirts, I wear T-shirts
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

[Chorus]
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so, why can't you see?
You belong with me, you belong with me

[Verse 2]
Walking the streets with you and your worn-out jeans
I can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
Laughing on a park bench, thinking to myself, "Hey, isn't this easy?"
And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
You say you're fine, I know you better than that
Hey, whatcha doing with a girl like that?

[Pre-Chorus]
She wears high heels, I wear sneakers
She's Cheer Captain and I'm on the bleachers
Dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find
That what you're looking for has been here the whole time

[Chorus]
If you could see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so, why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time, how could you not know, baby?
You belong with me, you belong with me

[Bridge]
Oh, I remember you driving to my house
In the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh
When you know you're 'bout to cry
And I know your favorite songs
And you tell me 'bout your dreams
Think I know where you belong
Think I know it's with me

[Chorus]
Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you
Been here all along, so, why can't you see?
You belong with me
Standing by and waiting at your back door
All this time, how could you not know, baby?
You belong with me, you belong with me

[Outro]
You belong with me
Have you ever thought, just maybe, you belong with me?
You belong with me

Live performances[]

Taylor Swift - Fearless Tour - Foxboro 02

Swift performing "You Belong With Me" during the Fearless Tour in 2010.

Swift's first televised performance of "You Belong With Me" was at a free outdoor concert on May 29, 2009, broadcast by The Today Show.[41] Following promotion for the song, she performed it on Tonight with Jay Leno,[42] Studio 330 Sessions,[43] at the 2009 CMA Music Festival,[44] at the 2009 CMT Music Awards,[45] and at the 2009 V Festival, in the summer of 2009. Swift performed "You Belong With Me" at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards on September 13, 2009, the same day in which Kanye West interrupted her acceptance speech. She began the performance in a subway station, dressed in a brown trench coat and black beanie, and continued it in a subway, taking off the trench coat and revealing a red cocktail dress. Once the subway docked at a stop, Swift completed the performance atop a yellow taxi cab.[46] Swift later performed the song on The View and Saturday Night Live.[47][48] In the fall of 2009 and winter of 2009 through 2010, Swift commenced promotion for "You Belong With Me" countries outside of the United States; she performed the song on the United Kingdom channel GMTV,[49] the Australian charity concert Sydney Sound Relief,[50] and the Japanese talk show The Sukkiri Morning Show.[51]

Swift performed a medley, which included "You Belong With Me" at the 52nd Grammy Awards. Wearing casual white blouse and black skinny jeans, Swift performed "Today Was A Fairytale" and then announced, "Its a fairly tale and an honor to share the stage with Stevie Nicks". Following, the two performed a cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Rhiannon". Swift then grabbed her acoustic guitar for the third and final part in her medley, jumping into a twangy version of "You Belong With Me". Nicks stood back, tapping her tambourine and nodding, every so often stepping up to the microphone to sing with Swift.[52] Eric Ditzian of MTV News was disappointed at Swift's and Nicks' harmonies, but said the two "made for a compelling twosome".[52] The performance followed much backlash in regards to Swift's off key singing,[53] which caused Scott Borchetta, CEO of Big Machine Records, to issue a statement defending the performance.[54]

"You Belong With Me" was performed as the opening number on all 2009 and 2010 dates of Swift's first headlining tour, the Fearless Tour.[55] Before Swift or the dancers entered the stage, a video played on the overhead screens; it showed various celebrities, including Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato, Faith Hill, Lucas Till, and Swift herself, sharing their definitions of the word "fearless".[56] Following the video's completion, the band and backup dancers appeared, dressed in yellow cheerleading uniforms. Swift, dressed in a white marching band uniform, then emerges from the bottom of the stage and commences singing. Swift roams around the stage singing and backup dancers perform cheerleading routines while projections of cheerleaders are shown on the stage.[56] Midway through the performance, the backup dancers removed Swift's marching band uniform to reveal a sparkly cocktail dress; she is then handed a rhinestoned acoustic guitar and finishes the performance.[56] Craig Rosen of The Hollywood Reporter believed Swift's performance of "You Belong With Me", coupled with the performance of "Should've Said No", at the May 22, 2009, concert in Los Angeles, California at the Staples Center made the show a success.[55]

"You Belong With Me" was also performed as part of the main setlist on the Speak Now World Tour and the Red Tour. It was not part of the main set on The 1989 World Tour, but was performed many times on tour in place of "You Are In Love". It was also on the set list for the Reputation Stadium Tour, as part of a mashup with "Style" and "Love Story".

"You Belong With Me" is also the second song in the Fearless era set and the seventh song of the The Eras Tour setlist.

Cover versions[]

Kidz Bop Kids recorded "You Belong With Me" for a digital single release in October 2009, which is included on the seventeenth installment of Kidz Bop.[57] In November 2009, American rock singer Butch Walker covered "You Belong With Me" for a digital single release.[58] James Christopher Monger of Allmusic said the cover was infused "with the same karaoke glee that fueled previous installments".[59] Bill Lamb of About.com described the composition as a "folksy almost honky-tonk sound" and "a bit more country than Taylor Swift's original".[60] According to Mikael Wood of Billboard, the cover's instrumentation is fueled by banjo; he claimed it was an "online success".[61] Jonathan Keefe of Slant Magazine described the cover's arrangement as "fantastic" and, to him, it "emphasized the terrific melody and structure that are the song's real selling points".[62] After hearing Walker's cover, Swift posted via her official Twitter account, "I'm losing my MIND listening to it! Blown away."[60] Band Hero for consoles features "You Belong With Me" as one of sixty-five songs from "mainstream acts".[63][64] American pop band Selena Gomez & the Scene covered "You Belong With Me" live on their Selena Gomez & the Scene: Live in Concert Tour (2009–10) and A Year Without Rain Tour (2011).[65] A parody entitled "TMZ" was included on "Weird Al" Yankovic's studio album Alpocalypse (2011).[66] A music video for the parody, directed by Bill Plympton, was filmed in October 2010, and will be included on the album's DVD.[67] The music video was released on "Weird Al"'s Vevo on June 24, 2011.[68]
