AIBU to ask your favourite Taylor Swift lyrics?

[MagnificentlyCursed]

I’m seeing the Eras Tour this year, just so excited. I’m making friendship bracelets with lyrics - can any fans share some of their favourites for inspo?

We are going to the concert too and making bracelets but with song names in not lyrics! My faves are Delicate, Hits Different, Invisible String, Mean, Bejewelled. Here is a picture of us at the film.

You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor

A circus ain't a love story

When he was doing lines and crossing all of mine

A friend to all is a friend to none

Also I'm going to Murrayfield Sunday night!

I come back stronger than a 90s trend!

They told me all of my cages were mental
So I got wasted like all my potential

"Cos darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream."
Is that the right words?
I think she's incredible, love her songs.

I should not be left to my own devices
They come with prices and vices

"Chase 2 girls, lose the one"

My fave lyrics are mostly on Folklore and Evermore, but "You're on your own, kid" is a masterpiece. I can't wait for Cardiff!

"This is me trying"

You're on your own kid, you always have been"

"Soon you'll get better, because you have to"

"You're not my homeland anymore, so what am I defending?"

This thread needs it's own avalanche warning!

The obvious bite sized sound chunks are things like
I shake it off
I'm a mirrorball
Stay stay stay
etc
They're probably recognizable but not (IMHO) the very best moments in her lyrics but they wouldn't fit on a wristband!

this in spades, the entire bridges to Last Kiss or Death By A Thousand Cuts are dynamite, but far too long

This is me trying had me in tears the first time I heard it. I’m not even a Swiftie really (though I love Folklore) but I was newly sober and it really got to me and made me feel seen.

“I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
And you're the hero flying around, saving face” - My tears ricochet

“But when the sun came up I was looking at you” - out of the woods

“Rain came pouring down
When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe
And by morning
Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean” - Clean

I love The Last Great American Dynasty. As a new fan does anyone know if there's some meaning behind the lyrics?
Also My Tears Ricochet is a masterpiece.
And love those lyrics from Betty mentioned early on in this thread!

Give me back my girlhood it was mine first

Here you go,

”"The Last Great American Dynasty" (stylized in all lowercase) is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift from her eighth studio album, Folklore (2020). The life of the American socialite Rebekah Harkness, who once lived in Swift's Rhode Island mansion, inspired her to write the song.”

This is just my thread! I am so jealous of people going although I was worried I'd be the only adult going!

It's between me, the sand and the sea - from Carolina

I've been meaning to tell you, I think your house is haunted - from Seven

You're a flashback, in a film reel on the one screen in my town - from this is me trying. I absolutely love this song!

I do think there are so many 'hidden' songs of Taylor Swifts TBH. The songs that get released as singles aren't her best and are no way indicative of her actual music or talent.

Songs like Nothing New, The Archer and The Man are actually really quite deep and reflective. Slut about everyone hating her for dating Harry Styles. Tolerate It is probably one of her greatest songs. It's so heartbreaking (maybe it's just me cos that was exactly what my marriage was like!)

For your purpose

shake it off
Haters gonna hate
Fuck the patriarchy
I'm the problem it's me

’I swear I don’t love the drama, it loves me’

(pretty much sums up my year)

Your braids like a pattern
Love you to the moon and to Saturn

Love, love, love those lyrics from Seven

I don't think it gets any more iconic than "it's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me".

But I admit to a lingering weakness for "you go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me!"

I stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror

I don't think it gets any more iconic than "it's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me

but I do Love ‘ I stare directly at the sun but never in the mirror’

Taylor's version

(Most of these suggestions are too long)

This, and every line of Would've Could've Should've.
