Taylor Swift performing in 2007.Swift's debut single, "Tim McGraw", was released 
in Summer 2006. "I wrote the song in my freshman year of high school", she says. 
"I was dating a guy named Brandon Borello, and I was about to move. I knew we 
were going to break up so I started thinking of all the things that I knew would 
remind him of me. Surprisingly, the first thing that came to mind was that my 
favorite country artist is Tim McGraw". "Tim McGraw" peaked at #6 on the 
Billboard Hot Country Songs charts for the week of January 27, 2007. The song's 
music video set a record by appearing for 30 consecutive weeks on GAC's 
fan-voted weekly Top 20 music countdown show, and reached number one on CMT's 
video charts. The video also won Swift an award for Breakthrough Video of the 
Year at the 2007 CMT Music Awards. Her pursuit of country music stardom was the 
subject of "GAC Short Cuts", a part-documentary, part-music-video series airing 
since the summer of 2006 on the country music channel.
On May 15, 2007, Swift performed "Tim McGraw" at the Academy of Country Music

The second single from the Taylor Swift album, "Teardrops On My Guitar", was 
released February 24, 2007. The song was inspired by a true event during her 
time in high school in which she liked a boy named "Drew Hardwick". He only saw 
Swift as a friend and a go-to person for advice about his relationship with his 
girlfriend. She noted she heard "through the grapevine" that Drew is well aware 
the song was written about him. "Teardrops on My Guitar" originally made its 
peak positions in Summer 2007, peaking at #2 on the Billboard Country Chart and 
#33 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was re-released to the Hot 100 and Pop 
100 in late 2007 with a Pop remix that brought "Teardrops on My Guitar" to #13 
on the Hot 100 and #11 on the Pop 100.

"Our Song", the third single from her album, which would go on to become her 
first #1 song the week of December 22, 2007, where it leaped up from the #6 
spot. This was the biggest jump to Number One since January 1998, when Tim 
McGraw's "Just to See You Smile", also jumped from #6 to #1. "Our Song" spent 
six weeks at #1 on the Country charts and also peaked at #16 on the Billboard 
Hot 100 and #24 on the Billboard Pop 100.

short black halter dress was revealed. In the last minute of the song, she went 
backstage to perform the final verse under a cascading waterfall. Swift had 
wanted to do that performance on stage with the water and the change of clothes 
since she was 10 years old. In 2008, Swift released Beautiful Eyes, an EP sold 
exclusively at Wal-Mart.
