TAYLOR Swift fans love to speculate about what (or who) the star could be singing about in her records, and 2010's smash hit Enchanted was no exception.

Although the songstress has never publicly confirmed who the track was inspired by, here is the prevailing theory...

Who is Enchanted about?

Enchanted was released as a part of Speak Now, Taylor Swift's third studio album.

In the song's commentary, Taylor revealed that the song was, indeed, about a special someone - but didn't name any names.

"Enchanted is a song that I wrote about a guy I was enchanted to meet," the songstress explained. "He was a guy that I had talked to a couple times on email but I hadn't met him."

"I went to meet him and I met him in New York. I remember the whole way home thinking 'I hope he's not in love with somebody'. It was wonderful - it's like that feeling of 'oh my god! Who is he with? Does he like me? Does he like someone else? Like what does it mean!'.

She then revealed that the mystery man had sent her an email, explaining how he too was "wonderstruck" meeting Taylor.

Who is Adam Young?

Despite Taylor keeping coy about her mystery muse, there have been rumours that the song is about Owl City star Adam Young - mostly fueled by the man himself!

The 35-year-old musician has been affiliated with Owl City since 2007, and has been the band's only consistent member.

He's also been involved with bands including Swimming With Dolphins and Windsor Airlift.

What has Adam Young said about Enchanted?

In a blogpost, Adam wrote that the song had "hit me like a freight train" and that "a colorful swirl of memories flashed before my eyes as it all added up. My jaw hit the floor."

"The track is absolutely gorgeous and I'm tremendously honoured that Taylor would write such an elegant song and thereby offer a gracious nod in my direction."

Young then claimed that he was "lost for words and utterly smitten" before describing the star as "beautiful."

He went on to offer a reply to Taylor's Enchanted in the form of his own version of the song - released, fittingly, on Valentine's Day 2011.

Taylor, however, has never publicly responded to Adam's bold romantic gesture.
