The lowdown: Playing with the tropes of Hollywood romances, Taylor waits for a boy who hurt her to come back and say sorry, giving her the happy ending she so desires. This longing ballad is one of the bonus tracks on the deluxe edition of Speak Now.
The vote: Receiving twenty-two scores of 8 or above as compared to five of 5 or below, "If This Was a Movie" never dropped out of the top thirty during balloting, and just missed the top twenty because of a last-minute 1.
Best line: "Last night I heard my own heart beating/Sounded like footsteps on the stairs"
