This is wrong but
I can't help but feel like
There ain't nothing more right babe
Misty morning comes again and I can't
Help but wish I could see your face
And I knew from the first note played
I'd be breaking all my rules to see you
You smile that beautiful smile
And all the girls in the front row scream your name
So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
Give me a photograph to hang on my wall
Superstar
Good morning loneliness
Comes around when I'm not dreaming about you
When my world wakes up today you'll be in another town
And I knew when I saw your face I'd be
Counting down the ways to see you
And you smile that beautiful smile
And all the girls in the front row scream your name
So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
Give me a photograph to hang on my wall
Superstar
You played in bars, you play guitar
And I'm invisible and everyone knows who you are
And you'll never see, you sing me to sleep
Every night from the radio
So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
Give me a photograph to hang on my wall
Superstar
Sweet, sweet superstar
Superstar
I can't help but feel like
There ain't nothing more right babe
Misty morning comes again and I can't
Help but wish I could see your face
And I knew from the first note played
I'd be breaking all my rules to see you
You smile that beautiful smile
And all the girls in the front row scream your name
So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
Give me a photograph to hang on my wall
Superstar
Good morning loneliness
Comes around when I'm not dreaming about you
When my world wakes up today you'll be in another town
And I knew when I saw your face I'd be
Counting down the ways to see you
And you smile that beautiful smile
And all the girls in the front row scream your name
So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
Give me a photograph to hang on my wall
Superstar
You played in bars, you play guitar
And I'm invisible and everyone knows who you are
And you'll never see, you sing me to sleep
Every night from the radio
So dim that spotlight, tell me things like
I can't take my eyes off of you
I'm no one special, just another wide-eyed girl
Who's desperately in love with you
Give me a photograph to hang on my wall
Superstar
Sweet, sweet superstar
Superstar

So Joe Nichols was the only likely country singer born in Arkansas (the others were just too old), and after some detective work, it seems like he was in a local rock band ("You played in bars") and then he won the CMA Horizon award in 2003, meaning he must be pretty well known, especially to a country fan like Taylor. Also he went on tour in 2004, so she may well have gone to one of his concerts, fitting the lyrics perfectly. If Superstar was written 2004-2005 then it would make sense.
It might not be true, but idk finding something relating to it has given me a bit of closure after spending the last 3 and a 1/2 years wondering who my favourite song was written about ;)
i realate to it a lot because if i see myself listening or hearing it i always see myself dedicating it to adam lambert i know i know that's pretty far fetched but it's true
"I'm no one special, just a wide-eyed girl who's desperately in love with you."
She's daydreaming about him from afar, because she knows her chances with him are slim. She puts on a pedestal, like a celebrity. Like a crazed fan, she's wild about him, but has to accept that he'll probably never feel the same way.
"So dim that spotlight, tell me things like, 'I can't take my eyes off of you.'"
She wants to know what he's really like underneath it all. Even though all the girls are after him for his looks/athletic ability/whatever, she really wants him to "dim the spotlight" so she can know the real guy underneath his act.
The line "you smile that beautiful smile and all the girls in the front row, scream your name" made me think that these "girls in the front row" were the popular, pretty girls who got all the guys.
That's just what i interpretated the song like though.
