"She's in Love with the Boy" is a song by American country music artist Trisha Yearwood. It was written by Jon Ims [1] and was released on March 13, 1991 as her debut single, as well as the first single from her self-titled debut album.

The song is an upbeat ballad about a teenage couple named Katie and Tommy in a small town becoming betrothed. Katie's father does not approve of their relationship, and after the couple returns home late after a date, he angrily confronts them. But Katie's mother comes to their defense, pointing out to Katie's father that they were no different from Katie and Tommy when they were teenagers and how her own father disapproved of the relationship, but she married him anyway and that Katie will do the same with Tommy.
In 2014, Rolling Stone ranked the song at #129 on its 200 Greatest Country Songs of All Time ranking. [3]
The music video was directed by Marc Ball and premiered in early 1991. It takes place on a farm and it shows some farm animals moving to the music and it shows shots of a pre-teen couple, a young adult couple, and an elderly couple, along with Yearwood sitting on a stool singing.
