20 years ago, in a previously unpublished Q&A, Taylor Swift said she was "really thrilled" that "Our Song" was her first No. 1 hit: "I’m actually really thrilled that that’s the song that was my first No. 1, because it kind of says something. I’ve always wanted that respect from the songwriting community in Nashville, and this year I was lucky enough to get the NSAI songwriter artist of the year award, which is voted on strictly by songwriters. And to get my first No. 1 with a song I wrote by myself, it really means a lot to me." variety.com/2026/music/news/…
