Lyrics: 'Do you remember, we were sitting there by the water?/ You put your arm around me for the first time/ You made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter/ You are the best thing that's ever been mine'

She even bluntly told the audience that he broke up with her 'over the phone in 25 seconds.' In an interview with Rolling Stone, Swift described the relationship discussed on the song as one that was 'really, really dramatic and crazy.' She was scathingly honest with Ellen DeGeneres when discussing Jonas specifically, revealing to the talk show host that it was an 'ouch.' As opposed to her past relationships, dating a celebrity meant Swift had to see him everywhere, especially since the Jonas Brothers were at the height of their teen pop fame at the time. The pair broke up just as she was wrapping up her 2008 album Fearless and ended up becoming a last-minute addition to her album, which was released in November of that year. Jonas was her first public, famous relationship and he also became the earliest tabloid-identified inspiration for her songs. What Happened: Swift's relationship with Joe Jonas was a turning point in her celebrity and songwriting. Lyrics: 'Was I out of line?/ Did I say something way too honest, made you run and hide/ Like a scared little boy/ I looked into your eyes/ Thought I knew you for a minute, now I'm not so sure.' In late 2015, Hardwick and his wife Joni were arrested for child abuse. Or maybe he thought I was still pining away from him. Or maybe he was really trying to be friends. 'He had his friend with him, so maybe he was trying to prove to people that the song really is about him or whatever. 'I have theories about what he was doing,' she told The Washington Postof Hardwick showing up on her driveway. A few years later, Swift had a slightly more bitter tone about Hardwick, noting that he finally surprised her at her house a full two years after the song's debut. Hardwick had no idea about the crush until the song came out, and he tried reaching out but Swift felt too awkward about it to return any of his phone calls. 'And I sat there and listened, never meaning it any of the times I said, 'Oh, I'm so happy for you.''

' would sit there every day talking to me about…another girl: how beautiful she was, how nice and smart and perfect she was,' Swift revealed on her official site. For 'Teardrops,' Swift reflects on being in love with a friend who loves someone else. Swift technically dated neither of them, but her admiration from afar inspired two tender singles that helped her break onto the country charts. What Happened: Two important men in Taylor Swift's life get cited by name on her self-titled debut: Tim McGraw and Drew Hardwick. Lyrics: 'Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see/That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be/I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about/And she's got everything that I have to live without' ' was like, 'I'm not a redneck! She makes me look like some redneck!' But other than that, we just thought it was kind of funny.' 'We just thought it was funny,' she recalled. Chelsea Alford dished the dirt to The Daily Mailand wondered if any other songs were about her and her husband. In 2014, the source of Swift's bitterness was revealed: Alford cheated on her with his now-wife and a former friend of Swift's. Swift's clapbacks have become more nuanced and progressive since then, but the track, released when she was a mere 16-years-old, offered an early glimpse at her pop power. Before Joe or Harry, Swift's high school beau Jordan Alford hurt the young songwriter so deeply that she penned this searing, painful country track about how she'd tell all her friends that he was gay, date all of his friends and, of course, burn any photographic evidence of his existence. What Happened: Swift's first taste of expressing bitter heartbreak on a song came on the very first album. Lyric: 'I hate that stupid old pick-up truck you never let me drive/You're a redneck heartbreak who's really bad at lying'
