"Guys, I can’t BELIEVE this! The song you’ll hear on Grey’s tomorrow night (TOMORROW NIGHT!!) is called “White Horse” and it’s one of my favorites on the new album. It’s a two hour premiere and I can’t wait to see it. "
- Taylor Swift, Sep 25th 2008 on Myspace. 2 and a half months before Fearless came out.
"I actually wasn’t going to put this song on the album. I was going to wait for the third album because I really felt like we had the “sadness” represented on this record. Then my agency out in LA set up a meeting with executive producers Betsy Beers and Shonda Rhimes at Grey’s Anatomy because that’s my favorite show. It would just be a dream come true to have a song on it. So, I played them “White Horse.” It was just me and my guitar and they freaked out. They loved it. They said, “We’ll get back to you as soon as possible.” For a while, we didn’t know if we were going to put it on the record because if it wasn’t going to be on the show, then we weren’t going to put it on the album. Then they called and said they were very interested in the song. We recorded it right away, sent it off to them, and they put it in! "
