Jim, It's hard to believe you have actually listened to Swift. As a challenge, curb the gag instinct and actually listen to Swift sing "Our song"; then honestly report that you do not hear originality, wit, artistry, and songwriting excellence. This line alone should at least make you laugh:

was riding shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steering wheel
The other on my.......... heart

Near the end of the song when she deliberately rushes a line and makes her voice rise like a little girl (the line is "and he talks real slow")- she is making fun of herself- where have you heard anyone do that before in a song?


It could be that you have no way to relate to the world this girl occupies. In that case the most honest thing you can say is: "I don't get it", which I think you've said.
