Liz Rose Speaks Out About Co-Writing Taylor Swift’s ‘You Belong With Me’

As Taylor Swift continues to work on her upcoming album, her former co-writer, Liz Rose, is speaking out about her hit track, “You Belong With Me.”

In a new interview, Rose, who also worked with Swift on “Teardrops on My Guitar” and “White Horse,” dished on the process of making “You Belong With Me” for Swift’s 2008 album, Fearless.

Taylor Swift catches on quick

Of the single, which landed at the No. 2 spot on the Billboard Hot 100, Rose claimed Swift knew right away how the song should sound. As she explained, Swift walked in and immediately captured her vision for the track.

“It just flowed out, honestly,” Rose explained to Billboard days ago. “Taylor kind of knew — she came in with [sings] ‘You’re on the phone with your girlfriend…’ And it just kind of flowed into that chorus.”

“And that chorus — it’s impossible to sing! I don’t know how she did it,” Rose continued. “Well, I mean, she’s young and she has a great voice. But the high-reaching [parts of the chorus]… usually I just stop and let the audience sing it. I’m like, ‘Y’all take this, I can’t do it!'”

‘You Belong With Me’ is a hit with all ages

According to Rose, Taylor Swift’s 2008 track continues to go over well with everyone she sings to. In fact, many members of her audiences know the track word for word.

“Absolutely. When I go out and do it — when I don’t even have to sing it [Laughs] — it’s pretty awesome!” she admitted. “There’s a lot of joy in it. It’s really fun to do live, it’s really fun to watch young girls to 50-year-old women get up and sing it.”
