Guitar chord Fifteen

Fifteen by Taylor Swift is an autobiographical reflection on Swifts experiences during her freshman year of high school. The song explores themes of friendship, teenage love, and the lessons learned during that formative period. Swift was inspired by her own life and the experiences of her then-best friend, Abigail Anderson, to write the song.
