The Best Day - Taylor Swift - MP3 instrumental karaoke

Taylor Swift’s “The Best Day” is a perfect example of the singer-songwriter’s ability to turn grief and sadness into powerful, enduring art. Originally part of her second album Fearless, released in November 2008, the song was written by Taylor Swift and co-produced with her frequent collaborator Nathan Chapman. Featuring the singer’s distinctive autobiographical storytelling style, the song was inspired by an incident where, as a young teen, Taylor Swift had been ignored by her friends when she called them about hanging out at the mall. She ended up going to the mall with her mother, where she saw all the friends she’d called hanging out together. Taylor Swift ended up writing this song as a dedication to her mother, and telling the story of their lives together through its poignant lyrics. In 2021, Taylor Swift released a re-recorded version of the song, titled “The Best Day (Taylor’s Version),” as part of her new recording of the album Fearless.
