Taylor Swift may have a reason to wipe those teardrops off of her guitar following her split with Jake Gyllenhaal.
Nearly two years after meeting Owl City's Adam Young and admitting that she wrote her love song "Enchanted" about him, Young finally responded to the 21-year-old's crush confession: with a song of his own.
In a blog post titled "Dear Taylor" on the singer's website, he wrote the singer a long letter addressing the song – and how much he adored it.
"The track is absolutely gorgeous and I'm so tremendously honored that Taylor would write such an elegant song and thereby offer a gracious nod in my direction. Needless to say, I was lost for words and utterly smitten. I couldn't stop smiling … I figured such an eloquent gesture should be reciprocated by the most polite, heartfelt and respectful response I could possibly muster. It's no secret that I'm a bit shy, so naturally music was the most articulate way of attempting such a sincere endeavor."
The singer then included a link to him performing is own version of "Enchanted," ending it with "And I just wish you knew/Taylor I was so in love with you."
The two have been friends since at least September 2009, People.com reported, when Swift tweeted him before one of his shows. A week later, according to the website, she was spotted in a VIP balcony at another one of his shows.
Swift was left brokenhearted just in time for Valentine's Day after her latest high-profile breakup with older actor Gyllenhaal.
But based on Young's blog post, it sounds like she might have had a happy day after all.
"They say 'timing is everything' and that brings us to now," he wrote. "Today is Valentine's Day."
