YOU BELONG WITH ME ~ TAYLOR SWIFT

"You Belong with Me" is a country pop song performed by American recording artist Taylor Swift. Swift was inspired to write "You Belong with Me" after overhearing a male friend of hers arguing with his girlfriend through phone call; she continued to develop a story line afterward. The song contains many pop music elements and its lyrics have Swift chasing after a guy who is out of her reach. Critical reception for "You Belong with Me" was average to mixed. At the 52nd Grammy Awards, the song received nominations for the Grammy Awards for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. "You Belong with Me" enjoyed commercial success as well; it became a top ten hit in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States. In the United States, the song became Swift's best-charting single on the Billboard Hot 100 to date and gained the largest crossover radio audience since Faith Hill's "Breathe" (2000). The single was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The video won the MTV Video Music Award for Best Female Video at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, but during Swift's acceptance speech, rapper Kanye West interrupted, protesting in support of Beyoncé Knowles. The incident caused much controversy with most people coming to Swift's defense.
