LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - It looks like Taylor
Swift's personal "Love Story" will have a happy ending -- just
in time for Valentine's Day.
The country singer, known for penning songs about her
troubled past relationships, hasn't tried to hide the fact that
the sweeping romantic ballad "Enchanted" on her last album
"Speak Now" describes her unrealized crush on Owl City's Adam
Young.
"It was 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," she told Yahoo! Music last year. "And meeting him, it
was this overwhelming feeling of: I really hope that you're not
in love with somebody."
She added that she purposely included the word
"wonderstruck" in the lyrics because the subject of the song
had used it in one of their email exchanges. To clear any
lingering doubt about the mystery man's identity, she
capitalized the letters A-D-A-M in the album's lyric booklet.
On Saturday, Young finally responded to Swift's public
serenade. Addressing the singer on Owl City's website, Young
confessed that he too felt sparks fly when they first met.
"I'll be the first to admit I'm a rather shy boy and since
music is the most eloquent form of communication I can muster,
I decided to record something for you--a sort of a 'reply' to
the breathtaking song on your current record," he wrote.
"You are a true princess from a dreamy fairy tale, and
above all, I just want you to know...I was enchanted to meet
you too," Young added.
His recording of "Enchanted" carries Owl City's jazzy,
fanciful signature and includes a few lyric tweaks, as well as
a new verse at the end: "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."
The verse is a direct response to Swift's original lyrics,
"Please don't be in love with someone else / Please don't have
somebody waiting on you."
