DJ:
A ha ha ha

Tim:
I didn't know which one but the more, the more I hear it the more...I don't know if its true or not but I start taking it as a compliment and not that I feel that I'm old. I don't know if that's true but that's what I choose to think.

DJ:
Why don't we find out. Taylor is a compliment or uh he's old?

Taylor:
Oh its definitely a compliment. Yeah

(Laughing)

DJ:
Tim McGraw meet Taylor Swift.

Tim:
Nice-

Taylor:
Nice to meet you.

Tim:
Nice to meet you, Taylor. How you doing?

Taylor:
I'm doing great. How are you doing?

Tim:
I'm doing good. Congratulations on your record. It's doing great.

Taylor:
Thank you so much. I'm just so excited. Thank you for uh having good music and everything. I swear I'm not a stalker.

(laughing)

DJ:
Well-

Taylor:
The funny thing about this song is ya know, as a writer some of the songs that you write like 4 hours you'll do them writing a song and it'll be good and everything but, I wrote this one in literally 15 minutes and ya know I really didn't think anything about calling in Tim McGraw so. I kinda shelved it for like 3 months and never even thought that it was going to be a single. But um my label heard it and was like we're putting that out.

(laughing)

Tim:
Well I'm glad ya did cuz um it's doing well for ya.

DJ:
So I-
So I understand that you two guys have not talked.

Tim:
No.

DJ:
You haven't met.

Tim:
No.

Taylor:
No, we've never talked or met or anything.

Tim:
I sent her a message one time. I think with Entertainment Weekly or something like that. Oh I don't remember what show it was. I was doing an interview and they were going to interview Taylor the next day. So, I sent her a little message. So, I don't know if she got it or not.

Taylor:
Oh my God. They never gave that to me.

Tim:
They didn't? Ok well, there ya go. I did.

(laughing)

DJ:
So I-I

Taylor:
We've just officially never never talked or messaged or anything.

Tim:
Not at all.

DJ:
So I thought, I think it's pretty brave to put out a song called Tim McGraw without maybe talking to Tim McGraw. Did you mind?

Taylor:
It was definitely kind of a chance. Ya know I did say anything bad in the song so I was kinda thinking ya know, he wouldn't take it too bad.

Tim:
Well, thank you for that. Thank you for not saying anything bad. I'm sure there's plenty that could've been said. Tell me-

Taylor:
Could you tell Faith that I said hello?

Tim:
I sure will. I sure will. And she loves the song too by the way.

Taylor:
Oh my gosh, she's awesome.

Tim:
I agree.

DJ:
This, this...Tell me about writing a song. Um did this, did this really happen?

Taylor:
Well, yeah. I mean, I never really kinda went into this writing session on I'm gonna write a song called Tim McGraw. Um, yeah. because, that would just be weird. But um...

(laughing)

Taylor:
I actually this this is kinda strange but I actually came up with the melody and ideas for this song in math class in my freshman year of high school.

Tim:
Now I feel old.

Taylor:
And um I was sitting there and was kind of started singing it to myself and I was going through a period where I was dating this guy that was going off to college and I knew we were gonna break up. So I started to think about all the things that I knew would remind him of me. And its kinda like a given one of all my friends ya know that my favorite songs are Tim McGraw songs. They just are.

Tim:
Aww, thank you.

Taylor:
And uh, you know so I kinda just thought about that first and so it pointed to the song and just sat down at that piano and wrote it with this co-writer who was kinda wondering if I was crazy or not but it turned out alright. And ya know, the funny thing is that I shelved this song for like 3 months and never never even played it for anybody, never even demoed it. And uh, then one time I was just goofing around and played it for my record label president and he goes "well thats your first single"

(laughing)

Taylor:
And I'm like well

Tim:
Well you can write songs about me anytime, Taylor.

(laughing)

Taylor:
Thats awesome. There's a part two coming out next month.

Tim:
Alright, great.

(laughing)

Tim:
Well congratulations cuz its your first single, first top ten hit and thats pretty exciting and I know you're off to the races here. You're just doing great and uh congratulations very exciting for you.

Taylor:
Awesome, its been so exciting. Tim, when are you gonna start like bringing out opening acts again?

Tim:
Um I dont know. I don't know. We'll have to look into that.

(laughing)

Taylor:
Well I'll, I have someone who I think will be really perfect for it.

Tim:
ya do? What would-

Taylor:
Yeah.

Tim:
What would their name be?

Taylor:
Uh, um I think Taylor something.

Tim:
Something like that yeah.

Taylor:
But,

Tim:
Well I'll, I'll be more than happy to have you out with me.

Taylor:
Just consider it.

DJ:
Ah, well thats very good. You're pretty fearless Taylor Swift. I'll tell ya that.

Tim:

DJ:
