Her hit track from the album Sparks Fly was highly rumored to be about Jake Owen with whom she once played on a stage 17 years ago in Portland, Oregon. After the release of the album, Owen was interviewed by People magazine while he was playing at the Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course in South Lake Tahoe, Nevada.
In his defense, Owen denied that the song was about him. “I’m sure Taylor probably laughs at it all too, but I’m happy to even have my name in the discussion around it.”
