It was released through Big Machine Records in the US and Canada on October 24, 2006, and internationally on March 18, 2008.

She signed with Sony/ATV Tree publishing house, and Big Machine Records in 2005, to work on her debut album during her first high school year.
The lyrics are about Swift's perspectives of life as a teenager, dealing with romantic relationships, friendships and insecurity. Taylor Swift is primarily a country record with pop and pop rock elements, incorporating acoustic instruments such as guitars, banjos, and fiddles. Five singles supported Taylor Swift, including the Hot Country Songs number-ones "Our Song" and "Should've Said No" and Swift's first top-15 entry on the Billboard Hot 100, "Teardrops on My Guitar". Swift promoted the album by interacting with her audiences through MySpace, embarking on a six-month radio tour in 2006, and opening tours for other country artists throughout 2006 and 2007.
Critics praised the album's mainstream sensibility and Swift's songwriting abilities at a young age. Taylor Swift was nominated for Album of the Year at the 2008 Academy of Country Music Awards and helped Swift earn accolades including a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist. The album topped the US Billboard Top Country Albums chart for twenty-four weeks, and was the longest-charting album on the Billboard 200 of the 2000s decade. Certified seven times Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), it made Swift the first solo female country artist to write or co-write every song on a platinum debut album. Journalists attributed Taylor Swift's success to Swift's online marketing atypical of country artists, who traditionally promoted their music via country radio. Her MySpace presence ushered in a younger demographic in country audiences who had mainly consisted of middle-aged listeners. The album's crossover appeal shaped the country pop style of Swift's next two albums, and has been noted for inspiring a new generation of singer-songwriters in and outside country music.

Taylor Swift Lyrics
He said the way my blue eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said, "That's a lie"
Just a boy in a Chevy truck
That had a tendency of gettin' stuck
On backroads at night
And I was right there beside him all summer long
And then the time we woke up to find that summer gone
But when you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
September saw a month of tears
And thanking God that you weren't here
To see me like that
But in a box beneath my bed
Is a letter that you never read
From three summers back
It's hard not to find it all a little bittersweet
And lookin' back on all of that, it's nice to believe
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
The moon like a spotlight on the lake
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
And I'm back for the first time since then
I'm standing on your street
And there's a letter left on your doorstep
And the first thing that you'll read
Is when you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think my favorite song
Someday you'll turn your radio on
I hope it takes you back to that place
When you think happiness
I hope you think that little black dress
Think of my head on your chest
And my old faded blue jeans
When you think Tim McGraw
I hope you think of me
Oh, think of me
Mmm
He said the way my blue eyes shined
Put those Georgia stars to shame that night
I said, "That's a lie"

When you think Taylor swift
I hope you think of that clumsy first kiss
Behind Springfield school
When you hear Taylor swift
Do you ever seen to miss
those undocumented afternoons?
When you hear her autumn hits
I hope you think of Gell streets mist
Your breath admonishing all the blues
When you hear the summer tunes
Does it take you back to finding my hair
all over you
That random June
When you think of Taylor swift
Remember how I loved you

She is the one artist who, in 50+ years, we’ll all be talking about in the same conversation as The Beatles, The Stones, Springsteen, etc… I hope she knows how much we all love her and how proud all us Swifties are of our girl💖

That's a bold statement. Time will tell. I'm not so sure about that, but I'm sure she'll be around longer than her peers that are currently hot. I think she's smart about her music catalog because even though she's doing pop now, she can easily go back to country and acoustic songs. I can't imagine her doing "Shake It Off" in her 60s, but she could definitely do this song or "Cardigan" at that age because those kinds of songs sound timeless.
