"The Soundtrack of Your Life"  | DAY 22"Babe" by Sugarland feat. Taylor Swift I discovered this song on a Taylor Swift playlist. I had no idea that Sugarland and Taylor Swift ever even did a collaboration, let alone one that I would enjoy so much. The video is a lot of fun to watch too; Brandon Routh does a great job of playing the lousy husband in the middle of the two women. I think it's interesting to hear Taylor Swift's vocals on a backing track rather than as leading vocals for a change, and it really works in this case. The song actually has an interesting history... it was written by Taylor Swift, originally for recording by rock band (well, rock-adjacent) Train on one of their albums but it never happened. Everyone assumed that Swift would then include the song on her next album (Red), but that never happened either for some reason. Swift, a fan of Sugarland, was excited when the band got back together and reached out to them about a collaboration. This song was in the offering, and it was included on Sugarland's sixth studio album. It's the only song on the album... and, in fact, the only song in Sugarland's history, not to be written by the band members. |
