Not only is it a known fact that TAYLOR SWIFT likes to listen to OWL CITY's 'Ocean Eyes' album on her vinyl record player, but it's also known that there's a secret message hidden within the printed lyrics of her song 'Enchanted' in the 'Speak Now' album booklet... that spells out A-D-A-M. In an interview with Owl City's ADAM YOUNG earlier this year, we asked him what went through his mind the very first time he heard 'Enchanted'... "I just remember smiling and thinking "Wow!" and feeling very honoured. It's such a beautiful song. I remember feeling kind of like... something that we had that was very much part of our friendship was suddenly shared with the rest of the world - and not feeling like cheated or anything like that, but - just feeling like WOW it's such an honour that somebody like her would treasure our friendship and relationship that we had enough, to put it out there. It's a very charming and sweet song." Click HERE to read our full interview.  Of the first time that Adam met Taylor in real life, he has said: "I met her in New York and she came to one of my shows and after the show I was backstage in the green room and she was on her way up to meet me and that was the most nerve-racking few minutes of my life just waiting to meet Taylor Swift. When I met her she was glowing and I was too. It's hard to put into words, but I was definitely wonder-struck to meet her." "She's a great person, and I am so inspired by her music and the person herself, She is who her music makes her out to be. She's a superstar and I'm just this kid from a small town in the middle of nowhere, so I feel like that peasant in the midst of a princess and that whole classic story." "Something about her is just so innocent. In a way it is like a diamond in the rough. She's who she is and I love how she writes music to deal with life, to go about every bit of life's ins and outs, ups and downs, I love how she writes about those things that are so personal and you get to know her music and get to know her. I love how she blurs those two lines. She's very genuine. She's really only been it. I've really only had eyes for her in the industry." And his thoughts on the song dedicated to him: "I bought her record at midnight when it came out and I was playing through it top to bottom. I love the classic adding up the letters in her lyrics. I got to that song and it added up to my name and I had to take a step back and decipher the code. We emailed back and forth for a while and she made some comment that I used the word 'Enchanted' and the word 'Wonderstruck' in an email and she said how she had never heard anyone really use that word before, so when that word was in the song, I was like this song has to be about me." AND THEN ADAM RECORDED A COVER OF 'ENCHANTED'... TAYLOR SWIFT's first ever concert 'SPEAK NOW WORLD TOUR – LIVE' CD & DVD set will be released in New Zealand on November 28th!
