"Superstar" is a track from the platinum edition of Taylor Swift's second studio album, Fearless.
It is about Taylor's celebrity crush, and how much she is infatuated with him. Although she knows that she's just another fan of his and that he'll probably never notice her, she still dreams about him feeling the same way about her, as she does about him.
It is speculated that this song was written about country music star, Jake Owen, whom Taylor opened for in 2006.
Taylor reflected on this experience in a 2006 MySpace blogpost:

Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Chorus]
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
[Verse 2]
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 You smile that beautiful smile and all the girls in the front row Scream your name
[Chorus]
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
[Bridge]
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
[Chorus]
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
