Picture to Burn

"Picture to Burn" is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her debut studio album, Taylor Swift (2006). Big Machine Records released the song to US country radio on February 4, 2008, as the album's fourth single. Written by Swift and Liz Rose, the lyrics were inspired by a narcissistic classmate of Swift and depict a protagonist's vengeance against an ex-lover. Nathan Chapman produced the track, a country rock and alternative rock tune that features plunking banjo and distorted electric guitars.

The original album version of "Picture to Burn" contained the lyric, "That's fine; I'll tell mine you're gay", which was modified to "That's fine; You won't mind if I say", on the radio edit and subsequent versions. Music critics praised the song's production and lyrics for earnestly depicting teenage anger. In the US, the single peaked at number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 3 on Hot Country Songs, and it was certified double platinum. "Picture to Burn" also charted in Canada and received certifications in Australia, Canada, and the UK.

The music video for "Picture to Burn" was directed by Trey Fanjoy and features Swift fantasizing about taking revenge on her ex-boyfriend after she discovers him with another woman. The video has Swift and her band performing with pyrotechnics as a backdrop. Swift included "Picture to Burn" in the set list of her first headlining tour, the Fearless Tour (2009–2010).
