Taylor Swift's Unrequited Crush: "I Was So in Love With You"

One benefit of writing songs about unrequited crushes? Sometimes they respond.
Such was the case when Taylor Swift, 21, penned a ballad about meeting Owl City singer Adam Young for her latest CD, Speak Now.

The four-time Grammy winner -- who split with latest beau Jake Gyllenhaal in December -- told Yahoo! Music last year that she wrote the song "Enchanted", "about this guy that I met in New York City, and I had talked to him on email or something before, but I had never met him. And meeting him, it was this overwhelming feeling of: I really hope that you're not in love with somebody."
She also added that she included the word "wonderstruck" in the lyrics because he had used it in one of his emails to her.
Luckily Young picked up the hints (including Swift's decision to capitalize the letters A-D-A-M in the album's lyric booklet). On Monday, the crooner, 24, used his band's blog to write a response to the starlet, complete with his own version of "Enchanted", The Hollywood Reporter reports.
"I'm so tremendously honored that Taylor would write such an elegant song and thereby offer a gracious nod in my direction," Young wrote in the blog, appropriately posted on Valentine's Day. "Needless to say, I was lost for words and utterly smitten. I couldn't stop smiling."

In the Owl City singer's version of the ditty, he added a new verse: "I was never in love with someone else / I never had somebody waiting on me / 'Cause you were all of my dreams come true / And I just wish you knew / Taylor I was so in love with you."
And while he calls himself a "shy boy" in the post, he didn't play coy when it came to sharing his feelings.

"Everything about you is beautiful," he wrote. "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."















Tell Us What You Think
18this is why everybody is leaving this girl. I mean she flirts with everybody. give yourself a break. she's beautiful but if she's like that, no one would love her.
After listening to his version of her song, this has to be the ABSOLUTELY MOST ROMANTIC THING EVER!! Good luck to the both of them. Hope that they have a future together!!
I thought that she and Jake were creepy together but this is really sweet! Hope everything works out!!
she's so sweet as her face.. .got a lot of pictures of you on my mobile :D
i love you taylor swift.. :D
she starts off sweet, charming elegant, caring then evolves in clingy whiny ho then when the relationship ends like it always does He gets a song about him detailing his every fault.
So sweet!! I love her, and I love Owl City's music...they are both adorable and look like they would make a great couple! :)
poor adam doesn't he know it's an act? that if it goes sour all the dirty laundry will be aired out in one of HER crappy break up songs? This girl a lying cad
love that he responded...what a sweet gesture :)
she's as beautiful as her writing...
That is totally adorable
This might be one of the sweetest things I have ever seen!
Jenni, I totally agree with you! Adam's response was sweet, but Taylor seems to put herself out there too much. She needs to learn to let the boys come to HER sometimes... a little hard to get never hurt anybody. ;)
More should be like this.
This is beautiful.
This is sweet, but does everyone not think she is a little desperate with the boys?! I mean I know she deserves happiness, but come on chill with the boys and focus on your career.
wow, how sweet..... i dont understand why they havent met a second time since they hooked up...i think adam's statement is the first step to a big love..:)
I LOVE this story! That song is amazing!
