Today's Fan Question: "How do your ex-boyfriends, who you have written most of your songs about, like your music?" LeAnn Pierce, Snow Hill, NC

Read Taylor's Answer:

Taylor: There are particular ones that don't know and then there are some that use it as a 'badge of honor.' They think that they are really cool. I'll write a song about a guy cheating on me and then they'll be like: 'She wrote a song about me.' It's like, 'Did you even listen to it? Come on.'

The guy I wrote Tim McGraw about, I dated him for about a year and we are still friends, but we don't talk that much because his new girlfriend isn't too much of a fan. He really thought it was cool that, [even though] we weren't going out anymore, I remembered our relationship nicely. I think that he was happy that I didn't write 'Picture To Burn' about him, another song on my album. Ex-boyfriends, I don't have that many. You would really think I have a lot of them by listening to my album, but there have only been a couple. The way they feel about it — I can guarantee that I feel better about those songs. That's a great question, LeAnn!
