“Tim McGraw” is the debut single of American country music artist Taylor Swift. She was sixteen years old when she debuted with the song, which she co-wrote with Liz Rose. The song tells of Taylor’s remembrance of a summer love, and how an un-named song by country music artist Tim McGraw (identified later on as “Can’t Tell Me Nothin’” from his Live Like You Were Dying album) brings back memories of that love. Taylor was dating a boy that was about to go off to college, and was thinking of ways for him to remember her. That was how she started writing the song. Then she played the harmony for Liz Rose on the piano, and the two wrote the debut hit.
