She didn’t do it completely alone. As part of her publishing deal, she was matched with professional songwriters. Her mother would set up the writing sessions and drive her there. She eventually began writing regularly with Liz Rose, a middle-aged Texan who co-wrote many of the songs on her first two albums. Rose perhaps has a career incentive to play up Swift’s role in their collaboration, but they both describe it as an equal one, with Swift providing a line, a scenario, or a hook—often about something that was going on at school—and the two of them improvising the rest. For the hit “You Belong with Me,” a song about having a crush on a boy who is with someone else, Swift said, “I just came in and played the pre-chorus and the first half of the chorus for Liz”—she started singing—“ ‘She wears short skirts / I wear T-shirts,’ and she goes, ‘Something about bleachers!’ ” The finished line: “She’s cheer captain / and I’m on the bleachers.”
