TEARDROPS ON MY GUITAR - TAYLOR SWIFT
It took time and tenacity, but talented 17-year-old Taylor Swift broke wide open with debut single “Tim McGraw,” displaying solid gifts as a songwriter with a voice so pure and earnest that it could stop time. Follow-up “Teardrops on My Guitar” again demonstrates those qualities and makes it obvious that Swift will be churning out hits for years to come. The straightforward, conversational quality in her lyrics is like hearing the lovelorn confessions of a dear friend. The longing in this song is ultimately relatable, and Swift makes the heartbreak palpable in a moving performance. Billboard
