"Should've Said No" is a single by American country pop singer Taylor Swift. It is the fifth and final single released from her self-titled debut album. It has also become her second Number One single on the "Billboard" Hot Country Songs chart for the week of August 23, 2008.

The song is an up-tempo in which the central character addresses a former lover who has cheated on her, telling him that he "should've said no" to the female who has taken her place in his life ("You should've said no / Baby, and you might still have me").

Reviews

Country music blog The 9513 gave the song a "thumbs down" review. Reviewer Matt C. disliked the song's production, which he felt was "too loud". He also felt that Swift's vocals were not only overly reliant on pitch correction, but also "not amenable" to the song's concept.cite web |url=http://www.the9513.com/taylor-swift-shouldve-said-no/ |title=Taylor Swift - "Should've Said No" |accessdate=2008-07-13 |last=C. |first=Matt |date=2008-05-14 |work=The 9513]

Performance at ACM Awards and Video

Swift performed the song at the 2008 Academy of Country Music Awards. The performance began with Swift seated on a chair, wearing a breakaway hooded sweatshirt and jeans, playing and singing the first verse as a solo before being joined by the band on the chorus. The performance gained some notoriety due to its last chorus in which Swift, by this time stripped of the breakaway clothes to reveal a short black dress, stood under an on-stage programmed waterfall, which displayed key words from the song as Swift was drenched beneath it. Footage from this performance has been used as the song's music video.

The performance music video has gone onto reach number one on both CMT's Top 20 Countdown and Great American Country's countdown as well.
