The song was later included on the international release of Swift 's second studio album, Fearless ( 2008 ), and released as the second pop single from the album in the United Kingdom. It was inspired by Swift 's experience with Drew Hardwick, a classmate of hers for whom she had feelings. He was completely unaware and continually spoke about his girlfriend to Swift, something she pretended to be endeared by. Years afterwards, Hardwick appeared at Swift 's house, but Swift rejected him. Musically, the track is soft and is primarily guided by a gentle acoustic guitar. Critics have queried the song 's classification as country music, with those in agreement ( such as Grady Smith of Rolling Stone ) citing the themes and narrative style as country - influenced and those opposed ( such as Roger Holland of PopMatters ) indicating the pop music production and instrumentation lack traditional country elements.

The song is considered to be Swift 's breakthrough single, as it spread her popularity throughout the United States. `` Teardrops on My Guitar '' was commercially successful, peaking at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the best - charting single from Taylor Swift on the chart, and being Swift 's debut entry on the Billboard Year - End Hot 100 charts. The single was also certified triple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ). Its music video was directed by Trey Fanjoy and features Swift as she sees her love interest develop a relationship with another female. The video received a nomination for MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist, but lost to Tokio Hotel 's music video for `` Ready, Set, Go ! ''.

Hardwick later went on to join the Navy. During their freshman year of high school at Hendersonville High School, Swift and Hardwick sat beside each other in a class everyday. The two developed a fond friendship, although Swift secretively desired for it to become a romantic relationship. Because of Hardwick 's unawareness, he would frequently speak to Swift about a girl he had feelings for, something Swift pretended to be endeared by, commenting, `` How beautiful she was, how nice and smart and perfect she was. And I sat there and listened, never meaning it any of the times I said ' Oh, I 'm so happy for you. ' '' Hardwick and his love interest eventually developed a relationship which lasted for a few years. Swift never confessed her feelings to him. By the release of Taylor Swift, he remained unaware of Swift 's intentions or the song and continued his relationship with the same female. Upon `` Teardrops on My Guitar '' 's release as a single, Hardwick attempted to contact Swift via phone calls, which Swift did not respond to ; he then left voicemails, but Swift felt too awkward to call back. Two years after the album 's release, as she was leaving her house to attend a Nashville Predators hockey game with Kellie Pickler and Carrie Underwood, Hardwick appeared at her driveway. A car parked and, out of it, exited Hardwick and a friend of his. After two and a half years of not speaking, the two conversed : `` He was like, ' Hey, how 's it going ? ' And I 'm like, ' Wow, you 're late. Good to see you. ' But we were civilized. '' Swift conjectured multiple theories as to why Hardwick appeared at her house. One of them was that he was attempting to prove to his friend that he was indeed the subject of `` Teardrops on My Guitar ''. Other possibilities was that he wanted to amend their friendship or believed Swift was still pining away from him. Swift said it would have been poetic if he approached her upon the album 's release and she would have accepted, but that she had already moved on. Swift cited `` Teardrops on My Guitar '' as an example of how she expresses her sentiments in songs and sometimes in no other manner. She was not afraid of using Hardwick 's first name on the track and, therefore, believed it was very honest and susceptible, something she adored.

Music video Swift and Drew ( portrayed by Tyler Hilton ) laughing in a library in the music video for `` Teardrops on My Guitar '' The accompanying video to `` Teardrops on My Guitar '' was directed by Trey Fanjoy, who directed the video for `` Tim McGraw ''. Swift decided to film the video with Fanjoy as a result of how positive the experience was when filming `` Tim McGraw ''. She appreciated all the preparation techniques that she taught her and stated, `` You have to remember the people who were good to you in the beginning ''. Swift said the video centered around unrequited love. Some of Swift 's associates first believed the video should have been set in a prior era. They then thought about filming the video at a large city. However, Swift wanted to go back to basics and keep the song 's integrity by filming the video in Nashville, Tennessee. American singer and actor Tyler Hilton portrayed Drew. He was cast because of prior interactions with Swift. They had a mutual fondness for each other 's music. Taking into account his acting on the television series One Tree Hill and the film Walk the Line ( 2005 ), Swift asked him to participate in the video after he attended and performed at one of her concerts. Swift chose Hilton primarily because he accurately presented Drew Hardwick, the fun, funny, fun - loving, blue - eyed boy whom she was friends with and had a huge crush on during high school. The video was filmed in one day in March 2007 at Hume - Fogg High School ; the drama room was transformed to simulate a bedroom for the performance scenes. The video commences with Drew asking Swift, `` Hey, are you gon na go to the game on Friday ? '' Swift responds, `` Well, I was thinking about it. Why ? '' He then admits it was just curiosity, informs Swift about a girl he met, and walks away. The video then transcends to Swift, wearing a long aquamarine evening gown, lying beside an acoustic guitar on a mattress in a bedroom. She performs the song until the scene transitions to Swift and Drew at the library, where he parodies a novel and she chuckles. The librarian requests for the two to maintain silence, so they converse quietly. Afterwards, Swift is in a chemistry laboratory, where she is mixing substances. Distracted by Drew approaching her, she accidentally pours too much of one substance and causes it to spill. They both rapidly attempt to clean the mess generated. As the song approaches its bridge, Swift and Drew walk towards each other, both smiling, but Drew then kisses his girlfriend, as Swift watches in agony. The video again transcends to the performance scene, where it concludes. Cut - scenes feature Swift lying on the mattress, crying, and standing beside a fireplace in the bedroom. The video received a nomination for `` Number One Streamed Music Video '' at the web - hosted 2007 CMT Online Awards, but lost to Sugarland 's `` Stay '' ( 2007 ). The video received a nomination for MTV Video Music Award for Best New Artist at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards, but lost to Tokio Hotel 's video for `` Ready, Set, Go ! '' ( 2007 ). To date, the video has over 92 million views on YouTube. Live performances Swift performing `` Teardrops on My Guitar '' on the Fearless Tour in 2010.
