"Love Story" by Taylor Swift media type="youtube" key="-KjxwD0ejH8" height="315" width="560" Rationale: An example of a ballad would be "Love Story" by Taylor Swift. I believe this song is a ballad because it focuses on a couple that is in love but are not able to be in love because the girls father will not allow the boy to see her. This song is highly dramatic because of the fact that the couple is in love but has to sneak around to be able to see each other and are willing to run away to be together, which also presents that the theme of this song is love. Repitition is present throughout the entire song; an example being "baby just say yes". Also, the dialogue that is present in this song is between Romeo and Juliet as they sneak around to meet each other. In all, the plot is a tragic situation by the couple not being able to see each other and talking about running away to be with each other because they are so in love, but the mood shifts at the end to happy when Romeo proposes to Juliet after asking her father if it was ok to have her hand.
