WHO DID TAYLOR SWIFT WRITE ENCHANTED ABOUT?

Is Taylor Swift’s Enchanted about Adam Young from Owl City?

Taylor Swift might have just released Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) but fans on
TikTok have been obsessed with ‘Enchanted’ for the past few years. So much so
that they sent the song viral back in 2021 and back into the charts.
‘Enchanted’ is one of Taylor’s best songs from Speak Now, and perhaps one of her
best and most underrated songs in her entire discography. The fairytale track tells
the story of Taylor falling for someone the first time she meets them, and then
praying that they’re not in love with anyone else.
Thanks to the resurgence in popularity on social media, some people are only just
finding about who Taylor allegedly wrote the song about. Taylor previously
opened up about the inspirations behind the track, and the guy who it’s believed
to be about even responded.
Who is Taylor Swift’s ‘Enchanted’ about?
‘Enchanted’ is reportedly about Owl City’s Adam Young, although the two never
dated.
Taylor wrote the song based on an encounter with a guy, and the crush she had
when they first met. She previously said: “I wrote “Enchanted” about a guy who I
was enchanted to meet, obviously. He was somebody that I had talked to a couple
of times on email, and then I was in New York and went to meet him. I remember
just the whole way home thinking, ‘I hope he’s not in love with somebody.’”
Taylor also spoke about how she incorporated the word ‘wonderstruck’ into the
lyrics after the guy “had emailed [her] and said something like, ‘Sorry I was so
quiet. I was just wonderstruck meeting you.’”
In Speak Now’s album lyric booklet, Taylor even capitalized the letters A-D-A-M,
appearing to confirm that the song was about a guy named Adam.
Unfortunately, despite the back and forth with the song, Taylor and Adam’s
situation never took off.
A few years later, in 2015, Adam revealed that Taylor never actually got back to
him after he released his own version of the song. He said: “I haven’t heard back
yet, but it was fun and was kind of an AB piece that went together.”
