What Parents Need to Know

About `I'm Only Me When I'm with You` (CD single)

Parents need to know that this single from country teen sensation Taylor Swift is playing on heavy rotation on Radio Disney. It's an innocent song about love with nothing to worry about for tweens and teens. The music video is just as harmless with shots of live concert footage and Taylor hamming it up for the camera.

    LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Taylor Swift is the single BEST female country singer under the age of 20 that there has EVER been. She is my favorite. She is really good and wholesome music. Parents DON'T have to worry about letting their kids listen to it. Which is a very refreshing change.
