Gentlemen, prepare to have your Valentine’s Day plans reduced to rubble by Owl City‘s Adam Young’s valentine to Taylor Swift. Apparently last year Swift hinted at a crush on the “Fireflies” singer, confessing that she wrote “Enchanted” “about this guy that I met in New York City, and I had talked to him on email or something before, but I had never met him. And meeting him, it was this overwhelming feeling of: I really hope that you’re not in love with somebody.” Well, Young got the hint, but only after he realized Swift had hidden the letters A-D-A-M in the song’s liner notes as well as incorporated the word “wonderstruck” from one of the emails they had exchanged. “Everything about you is beautiful. You’re an immensely charming girl with a wonderful heart and more grace and elegance than I know how to describe,” Adam replied to Taylor on his website. “You are a true princess from a dreamy fairy tale; a modern Cinderella. I’m terribly sorry it’s taken me such a long time to reply but I figured Valentine’s Day was the perfect time to write this note to you and simply say… I was enchanted to meet you, too.” Boom! That’s the sound of your bouquet of red roses and heart-shaped box of chocolates being blown out of the water.
We actually think this pairing is perfect; Adam and Taylor both wear their hearts on their sleeves in a darling cartoon-woodland-creature sort of way. As if all that sweetness wasn’t enough, Young changed the lyrics to Swift’s Enchanted, singing “I was never in love with someone else / I never had somebody waiting on me / ‘Cause you were all of my dreams come true / And I just wish you knew / Taylor I was so in love with you.” Might as well take your girls to Arby’s, fellas. There ain’t no competing with this guy.
