[ applause ] it helps that she has bruce springsteen s song writing skills. taylor is one of the greatest song writers ever to put a pencil to a paper. many nashville artists agree. i go back to the song 15 that she wrote. what a knock down lyric that is. first time i heard her sing it it was a little writers night in new york city several years ago. she sang it and i went gosh. she hits 15 and vince is going wow and trisha is like holy cow listen to this lyric coming out of this girl. john rich co-wrote this song with taylor swift after she called him out of the blue. said yeah, come on over and she pulls that guitar out and has some words already down. she starts tearing this song the way i loved you. i said damn, that s great.
