About how her boyfriend was going off to college and how they would have to break up and how she thought of things that would remind her of him. It came to her in math class her freshman year in high school. It is called "Tim McGraw" because he is Taylor's favorite country singer and she listened to him a lot with her boyfriend.

The song is for an ex boyfriend of Taylor's named Jimmy. Taylor & Jimmy used to listen to Tim McGraw a lot together, so the meaning of the song is "When Jimmy Thinks Of Tim McGraw, Taylor Hopes That Jimmy Thinks Of Her". Got It? And Jimmy was leaving and Taylor was thinking of things that would remind him of her.

She wrote Tim McGraw because her boyfriend was going to move to college and they would have to break up. So she decided to write a song about all the memories that she had with him. Also, Tim McGraw was her favorite country singer!

Taylor wrote the song 'Tim McGraw' because she was dating a guy who was about to go to college and she knew they would break up, so she thought of all the things that would remind him of her, and the first thing she thought of was that her favourite country artist was 'Tim McGraw' so she wrote a song about it.

In Taylors Swift own words:

"This song means so much to me, that's why we wanted it to be the first track on the album. The idea for this song came to me in math class. I just started singing to myself 'When you think Tim McGraw.' The concept for this song hit me, because I was dating a guy who moved away, and it was going to be over for us. So I started thinking of things that I knew would remind him of me. The first thing that came to mind was that my favorite song is by Tim McGraw. After school, I went downtown, sat down at the piano, and wrote this with Liz Rose in fifteen minutes. It may be the best fifteen minutes I've ever experienced."
