    'Today Was a Fairytale'

    Taylor Swift

    The upbeat, poppy single about a magical date is featured in the love-induced, cheesy flick ‘Valentine’s Day’ — Swift’s onscreen debut, next to former flame Taylor Lautner. Swift penned and shelved the single back in 2008, later offering it as a promotional single, as it did not fit on her album, ‘Speak Now.’ The song reached No. 2 on the Billboard 100, tying with ‘You Belong With Me,’ as her highest-charting single.

    'Enchanted'

    Taylor Swift

    When Owl City's Adam Young professed his love to Taylor, she decided to respond by writing him a song. Awwww, so cute! Note that this rock ballad -- introduced with short guitar strumming and fairytale-like synthesizers -- includes the words "enchanted" and "wonderstruck" after Young used them in an email exchange with her. It obviously worked -- she was swept off her feet:" All I know is I was enchanted to meet you / This night is sparkling, don’t you let it go / I’m wonderstruck, blushing all the way home.
