Taylor Swift: 'Teardrops On My Guitar'

"I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about," sings Taylor Swift on her latest single. "And she's got everything that I have to live without." Hmm... it takes a hefty stretch of imagination to believe the blonde-haired, blue-eyed, million-selling US country-pop darling would ever be passed over for another girl. However, according to Swift, the tale is true and during her freshman years she was ignored by a chump called Drew who spent all day talking about his girlfriend.

We suspect Drew may be kicking himself just a little when he hears 'Teardrops', but in the mean time the rest of us have to put up with another plodding country weepy from Swift - one that lacks even the faintest flourish of excitement. Destined to soundtrack a slow dance scene in a dreadful teen rom-com, 'Teardrops' will undoubtedly entertain Swift's die-hard followers, but it's unlikely to win over those who consider her polite pop ditties as thrilling as a sack of potatoes.
