DJ:Well-
DJ：那么...
Taylor: The funny thing about this song is you know,
Taylor：关于这首歌，很有趣的一点是：作为一个写歌的人，你明白的，
as a writer some of the songs that you write like 4 hours
有的歌可能要写四个小时
you'll do them writing a song and it'll be good and everything but,
你会一直写，这很好但是
I wrote this one in literally 15 minutes
我并没有想过拜访Tim McGraw
and you know I really didn't think anything about calling in Tim McGraw
毫不夸张的说，我写这首歌只用了15分钟
so. I kinda shelved it for like 3 months
所以呢，我大概雪藏了它三个月
and never even thought that it was going to be a single.
并且从没想过这会成为一支单曲
But um my label heard it and was like we're putting that out.
但我的唱片公司听了它然后...就如...我们要出版它
Tim:Well I'm glad you did cuz um it's doing well for you.
Tim：我很高兴你出版了这首歌，因为它很棒
DJ:So I-So I understand that you two guys have not talked.

Tim:No.
Tim：没有
DJ:You haven't met.
DJ：你们从没见过(⊙o⊙)？
Tim:No.
Tim：没有
Taylor:No, we've never talked or met or anything.

Tim:I sent her a message one time.
Tim：我又一次曾留过言
I think with Entertainment Weekly or something like that.

Oh I don't remember what show it was.
我不记得是哪个了
I was doing an interview and they were going to interview Taylor the next day.
我正在接受一个采访而且他们明天会采访Taylor
So, I sent her a little message. So, I don't know if she got it or not.
所以我给她留了一小段话，我不知道她收到没
Taylor:Oh my God. They never gave that to me.
Taylor：oh我的天呐，他们根本没给我
Tim:They didn't? Ok well, there you go. I did.
Tim：他们没给啊，Ok，但是我留言了~
DJ:So I-I
DJ：那么我...
Taylor:We've just officially never never talked or messaged or anything.
Taylor：我们从来从来没有正式地地谈话，留言或者之类的
Tim:Not at all.
Tim：从来没有
DJ:So I thought, I think it's pretty brave to put out a song called Tim McGraw

without maybe talking to Tim McGraw. Did you mind?
但是和Tim McGraw连话都没说过，你介意吗？
Taylor:It was definitely kind of a chance.
Taylor：这绝对是一个机会
You know I did say anything bad in the song
你知道的，我在歌里没写他有哪点不好

Tim:I agree.
Tim：我也这么觉得
DJ:This, this...Tell me about writing a song.
DJ：这，这...来讲讲写歌的事，
Um just..did this, did this really happen?
呃，这真的发生了吗？
Taylor:Well, yeah. I mean, I never really kinda went into this writing session on
Taylor：好的，是呀，我的意思是我从未类似于...进入一个写歌环节：
I'm gonna write a song called Tim McGraw.
我要写一首叫Tim McGraw的歌了
Um, yeah. because, that would just be weird. But um...
呃，是的，因为这很奇怪.但是 嗯...
Taylor:I actually this this is kinda strange
Taylor：事实上这很不同寻常

They just are.
TimMcGraw的歌，就是这样。
Tim:Aww, thank you.
Tim：嗯~谢谢你
Taylor:And uh, you know so I kinda just thought about
Taylor：并且，嗯，你知道的我一开始就这样想
that first and so it pointed to the song
所以把它写进歌里
and just sat down at that piano
我坐在钢琴前
and wrote it with this co-writer who was kinda wondering if I was crazy or not
与合作者一起写下这首歌，他觉得我是不是疯了
but it turned out alright.
但是这一切被证明是对的
And you know, the funny thing is that I shelved this song for like 3 months
你们知道的，有趣的是我搁置这歌3个月
and never never even played it for anybody, never even demoed it.
并且绝对绝对没有给任何人唱过，从未甚至做一个唱片样本
And uh, then one time I was just goofing around
然后有一次我在打发时间
and played it for my record label president
并且把这首歌唱给我的专辑总裁
