Red lights flashing through a window in the rain
You can hear the sirens moan
White can lying in a gutter in the lane

How can he remember who he’s talking to?
’cause I know it isn't me… and I hope it isn’t you…

Today in the year 2010, the then 19-year-old Taylor Swift became the youngest musician to win Album of the Year at the Grammy's for her album, Fearless.
