<aside> 💡 Analysis - Britney Spears’ well-known song about fame was called “Lucky” and was released in 2000. Two years later, Taylor would write her first song on guitar at 12 years old, titled “Lucky You” about a girl named Lucky who sings and is very aspirational. It’s incredible to me that her first song seems to touch on this idea of a girl who makes her own luck and aims for the sky, given what her career became. She touches on this theme more explicitly in “The Lucky One” but it’s a much darker take on the luck of becoming a celebrity, similar to Britney Spears’ song.

Early Career

• Lucky You (rumoured to be her first song she ever wrote when she was 12 years old):

  Mama named her Lucky on a starlit night

  A rabbit foot in her pocket, she dances in spite of

  The fact that she's different and yet she's the same

  And she says, "Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do"

  Lucky you
