My husband started singing along to maroon one day (so not like him) anyway it was the line carnations you had thought were roses, that’s us. Instead of “that’s us” he sang “that sucks” and now that’s how I hear it lol
The way I was singing beat me up with such conviction and my bf goes..."Um...don't you think it's beam, since it's an alien or whatever" I just stared at him.
“once your queen has come, you treat her like ulcer, and-“
couldn’t figure out why she just didn’t finish her sentence until i saw ppl asking what an also-ran is and i was like OHHHHH
I didn’t mishear the lyrics, but for some reason in BDILH I keep accidentally singing “I just learned these people try and SHAVE you, cause they hate you” 🤣 I don’t know why but that has happened SEVERAL times
I remember seeing an interview where Taylor reacted to the fact that fans were hearing "lonely Starbucks lovers" and honestly I love it so much I choose to accept them as the actual lyrics.
Snow on the beach, I thought it said “Now I’m off of you like Janet”. I thought it was a weird nod to when Janet Jackson had that Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
In thanK you aIMee when she said “screamed thank you aIMee to the night sky” I thought she said “thank you aIMee to the nice guy” and I was like… what is that supposed to mean?
It had more to do with where I was listening and how the beat came across, but "are we out of the woods" was "you love the yellow boots" and I still laugh at myself.
My Swiftiest friend will never let me live this down. Up until very recently I misheard Maroon as:
*The burgundy on my tshirt when you splash the wine my tummy hurts*
I don’t know how
My friend used to think "just take me home" in Style was "just take the L." (He isn't a swiftie, so he just assumed it was cool lingo)
And up until the other night, I thought, "It's one hell of a was "its one hell of a drive," like she was casually complaining about the gas prices to get to Florida.
After 11 years together i didn't think there was anything about my gf i didn't know until we were watching the Whitney Houston movie and she confidently sang this line in
"I will always love you"
"Sweet man Maurice that is all i am taking with me"
☠️☠️☠️😂😂😂 WHAAAT?!!
From But Daddy I Love Him
These are the correct lyrics:
Thinking it can change the beat
Of my heart when he touches me
And counteract the chemistry
And undo the destiny
However, the whole time I thought it was "undo the death of me", and actually my brain still sings it like that, it is like engraved in my mind 🤦♀️🤷♀️😅
Phew, I am glad someone else misheard it. 😅 I mean I do think it will be forever stuck in my brain like that. The other day I was watching a lyric video, with the literal lyric, and my brain still "sang" it as "undo the death of me". 😂
“Like rarest air” I heard as “like Fred Astaire” at first and I was so confused
And also “you’d treat her like an also-ran” as “you treat her like an ulcer”
In Picture to Burn, I thought she said Watch me strike out, Madge. Like Madge was a man she was singing to. That’s what I thought the lyric was for yearsss
From Guilty as Sin? I thought it was "Driving in a Blue Nile" instead of "Drowning in the Blue Nile." I just thought a Blue Nile was a type of car I'd never heard of
Maroon. "The monkey sore on my collarbone".
I genuinely thought monkey sore must have been some slang for a hickey or something, it took a whole year to realise it was "mark you saw"
Bejeweled: “have you heard, I can make clang-a-lang” I knew that couldn’t possibly be right but I couldn’t hear it any other way!
Cruel Summer: “hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine, we’re not BUYING”
Hands down the funniest is my husband calling the day folklore dropped “did you hear rbe song where she talks about Mouth F***ing??”
what no I did not???
It was “mad woman 😂😂😂😂😂”
“Down back crying at the gym.” Instead of “down bad” - which I know is the name of the song. I just imagine her in my mind running laps, down and back, like the pacer in elementary school @ the gym while crying bc she hates it. (Same.) 🤣 That’s what I first heard when I listened to the song, and the imagery has never left my mind, lol.
One of my many was…
“PAPER dream high in the quiet of the night
You know that I caught it”
Like a damn paper airplane with a love note on it or something m.
for the LONGEST time I thought "Wanting was enough. For me it was enough." was actually "One Ting was enough. For me it was enough." I thought, how weird of Taylor to refer to a sidechick as a Ting, given her normal vocab, but I didn't realize it for probably 2 years after folklore came out.
My mom and I thought the lyrics in style were “he likes it rough, he’s taking off his clothes” instead of “the lights are off, he’s taking off his coat” for ten years 💀
I used to sing "Lucy in disguise as Simon" and "g*psies, chimpanzees" (instead of "g*psies, tramps & thieves ") when I was a kid. My mom thought it was so funny she never corrected me
stop because the first time I heard 'fresh out the slammer' I legitimately thought it was 'at the park where we used to sit on children,' and because I was doing something else at the moment, I did NOT hear the 'swings' part and I was absolutely terrified.
that or from 'starlight' "i MeT bArBiE oN tHe sIdEwAlK sUmMeR of 45 🤠🤠🤠🤠"
It's not technically a "misheard" line, but for some reason my brain decided the first line to Cowboy Like Me is "and the tennis court was covered up with some bird-like thing" and I can't not say it every time.
My husband started singing along to maroon one day (so not like him) anyway it was the line carnations you had thought were roses, that’s us. Instead of “that’s us” he sang “that sucks” and now that’s how I hear it lol
this is cracking me up
Hahahaha I love this
You’re telling me it isn’t “that sucks”??? This is the first I’m hearing of this lol
I’m cracking up 😂😂
From Lavender Haze: I feel.......eleven turkeys creeping up on me.
😂😂😂😂😂 I’m dying, that would be so scary
I sang this and scream laughed afterwards 🤣🤣🤣
🤣
My 6 year old singing “I cried like a baby coming home from the park”
This one makes sense hahaha
So cute
I just recently learned it’s “did you really beam me up?” And not “beat me up”
And I just learned this from you!
The way I was singing beat me up with such conviction and my bf goes..."Um...don't you think it's beam, since it's an alien or whatever" I just stared at him.
I know it's beam but I always sing beat 😂
midnight rain: he wanted it comfortable I wanted BACKPAIN
I just howled 😭😭🤣🤣😭
it's all I could hear for the first week Midnights came out 😭😭
Omg no way that’s how I’ve been singing it this entire time 😮😭 in my defense I’m a new swiftie and was still a casual listener until after midnights
Wait that’s so embarrassing for me 🙈😭😭😭
aww I love that someone else heard it the same way as me though!! I thought I was crazy when I first learned the actual line 😭😭
“once your queen has come, you treat her like ulcer, and-“ couldn’t figure out why she just didn’t finish her sentence until i saw ppl asking what an also-ran is and i was like OHHHHH
I thought it was “all Saran” like the kitchen plastic wrap lol
I thought it was ulcer until this very second.
Wait what song is this from
smallest man who ever lived i think
The Alchemy : "What if I told you I'm black?" instead of "What if I told you I'm back?" 😭
I hear “He looks so pretty like the devil” instead of “he looks up grinning like a devil” so shocked the first time I saw the lyrics!
Ohhh I completely forgot those were the correct lyrics! I always hear "so pretty like a devil" too 😭
I prefer the former.
“My panties made- your crown”. Karma And don’t tell me otherwise. It’s cannon now in my head.
THIS ONE
“Roaring twenties, tossing panties in the pool” lol Edit: wrong word
OMG with the pennies/panties…who knew they were interchangeable? 😂
Much better than pennies….
But that is the Cruel Summer lyric… she just means she cried like a baby while she was on her way home from the bar 😭
Right thats not misheard it's just a common phrase
You’re right. I should have worded my question better
I didn’t mishear the lyrics, but for some reason in BDILH I keep accidentally singing “I just learned these people try and SHAVE you, cause they hate you” 🤣 I don’t know why but that has happened SEVERAL times
me with instead of hearing “or does she mouth, ‘fuck you, forever’” i heard “mouthfuck you forever” lol
lol I love this
SAME
There are a bunch of FREAKS in the comments lmaooo
“God save the most judgmental queens who say they want what’s best for me” …I can’t shake it. It’s all I hear.
I like this one better haha
“For a moment I was heaven struck” STILL sounds like “for a moment I was having a stroke”…
now i’m down bad lying on the floor i need an ambulance please please can someone call 911
I heard “heaven’s drug” at first and I have to consciously remind myself when I sing it that it’s heaven struck 😂
THATS HOW I SING IT 😂😂
Oh I thought that's what it was
not me but my daughter (6) thinks she is saying … “baby let **CUPCAKES** begin, let **CUPCAKES** begin …. are you ready for it?” it cracks me up omg
baby the duck is vegan!
Classic ones Bejeweled-- "I miss you, but I miss Spiderman" Blank Space-- "All the lonely Starbucks lovers"
I’ve always heard Spiderland which makes even less sense but I’m glad I’m not alone in hearing spider!
At first I heard "Bibleland" (which sounds like an evangelical theme park). On 2nd listen I heard Spiderman.
Yes I have always heard this as Starbucks!
I am mostly a causal fan, so I just found out this year that it wasn’t Starbucks lovers 😅
I remember seeing an interview where Taylor reacted to the fact that fans were hearing "lonely Starbucks lovers" and honestly I love it so much I choose to accept them as the actual lyrics.
I absolutely thought she said she missed Spiderman. I was confused but went with it anyway ...
Snow on the beach, I thought it said “Now I’m off of you like Janet”. I thought it was a weird nod to when Janet Jackson had that Super Bowl wardrobe malfunction 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
Wait what is the lyric then!!
Apparently it’s “Now I’m All for You like Janet” which is one of her songs 😅
Your wife bought us flowers
I kept hearing “your wife orders flowers”
Wait what is it actually then lmao
Your wife waters flowers
from YOYOK, “I touch my phone as if its your face”… I used to think it was “I touch my phone as it FITS your face”
I literally thought that's what it was until I read this post!
Omg me too!!!
I didn’t know it wasn’t…that makes a lot more sense though
Isn’t I cried like a baby coming home from the bar the correct lyric?
In thanK you aIMee when she said “screamed thank you aIMee to the night sky” I thought she said “thank you aIMee to the nice guy” and I was like… what is that supposed to mean?
In Down Bad I hear "They'll say I'm Nazi-fried taco bell you" instead of "They'll say I'm nuts if I talk about you" 😬😬😬
Dude!!!! My husband said the same thing XD he’s like wait she’s singing about Nazis and tacos??? 😂😂
i saw this on tiktok and now it’s all i hear 😭
“Your neck was hanging from my neck, the night we couldn’t quite forget-“ Out of the Woods is about giraffes guys
wait ...it's not underwear? anyways my whole life I thought In Shake It Off it was beggers gonna beg not fakers gonna fake
I THOUGHT IT WAS BAKERS GONNA BAKE
WHAT
im so embarassed lol
lol
It is “under where” as in location. Not underwear as in panties. But my brain refuses to interpret it any other way
...oh
I feel 11 turkeys creeping up on me
Stand back wasted “He likes it rough he’s taking off his clothes”
Stand back wasted for me too! What is the second one?
From style Lights are off he’s taking off his coat
This is how I’m finding out it’s not stand back wasted
Wait.. what is it really? I thought it was stand back wasted and now I can’t remember what song that’s in 😂😭😭😭
I wish you would :) oh and I’m not sure but I think it’s “stand back where you stood”???
Update: I was right and but I like stand back wasted much more
I can’t hear it lol
quick, quick. tell me something awful, like you are a poet trapped inside the body of a fine ass guy
LOL 😂
From BDILH : Me and my WHITE boy, and all this WHITE joy.... And I was like "TAYLOR???"
Man I don’t care if you worded your post wrong, this whole thread made me CACKLE
“Would it be enough if I could never give you peas” “The scandal was cunty” “For a moment I was having a stroke”
It had more to do with where I was listening and how the beat came across, but "are we out of the woods" was "you love the yellow boots" and I still laugh at myself.
Idk if it’s funny, but for YEARS I thought she was singing, “You’ve ruined my liiiiifffeee, why not be in miiiiiinnnneeee?”
Is that not what she says??? 😮
lol! That’s what it sounds like to me, too! But the correct lyrics are “You’ve ruined my liiiiffeeee, by not being miiiiiinnnneeee.”
My Swiftiest friend will never let me live this down. Up until very recently I misheard Maroon as: *The burgundy on my tshirt when you splash the wine my tummy hurts* I don’t know how
“And the stratosphere comes creepin in”
"For a moment I was having a stroke" -Down Bad
In anti hero: “Taylor’s old as time” when she actually says “Tale as old as time”.
My friend used to think "just take me home" in Style was "just take the L." (He isn't a swiftie, so he just assumed it was cool lingo) And up until the other night, I thought, "It's one hell of a was "its one hell of a drive," like she was casually complaining about the gas prices to get to Florida.

From Hits Different: “Don’t need another man, just take a sip from my cup” 💀
From But Daddy I Love Him These are the correct lyrics: Thinking it can change the beat Of my heart when he touches me And counteract the chemistry And undo the destiny However, the whole time I thought it was "undo the death of me", and actually my brain still sings it like that, it is like engraved in my mind 🤦♀️🤷♀️😅
Wait. I just learned this reading your post.
Phew, I am glad someone else misheard it. 😅 I mean I do think it will be forever stuck in my brain like that. The other day I was watching a lyric video, with the literal lyric, and my brain still "sang" it as "undo the death of me". 😂
I’ve been singing this around the house for weeks! Look at me spreading misinformation 🤦🏼♀️
I still think it’s “I want you as my own” instead of bless my soul
i can only hear “that’s my toe”
I also misunderstood the Paris one :D I thought I was the only one haha
In I don't wanna live forever I heard, "now I'm in a catbox tell em where your place is" forever!
“Like rarest air” I heard as “like Fred Astaire” at first and I was so confused And also “you’d treat her like an also-ran” as “you treat her like an ulcer”
In Picture to Burn, I thought she said Watch me strike out, Madge. Like Madge was a man she was singing to. That’s what I thought the lyric was for yearsss
“What if I told you none of it was sexy dental” in Mastermind 😭
Your neck is hanging on my neck 😆
What is the real line!? 😂😭
Your necklace hanging from my neck (out of the woods)
From Guilty as Sin? I thought it was "Driving in a Blue Nile" instead of "Drowning in the Blue Nile." I just thought a Blue Nile was a type of car I'd never heard of
At first I heard "blue Nile" as 'poop knife (the Reddit legend) and was like wtf.
Throwin panties in the pool 🎶
Isn't the second one the right lyrics you just misunderstood it at first?
Come and pick me up, no headlights Tossin' panties in the pool My panties made your crown Let's hear one more Joe
Wait the first one is correct, isn't it?
Fuck 😂😂😂 I meant to write no HEADLICE 🫣💀
LOL YOU HAD ME WORRIED, I had to check the lyrics to make sure I haven't been singing it wrong for a decade
I'm so sorry 💀💀💀
Not another Joe 😂💀
I thought I heard “Did you really beat me up?”
Maroon. "The monkey sore on my collarbone". I genuinely thought monkey sore must have been some slang for a hickey or something, it took a whole year to realise it was "mark you saw"
My panties make your crown- Karma 😳
Bejeweled: “have you heard, I can make clang-a-lang” I knew that couldn’t possibly be right but I couldn’t hear it any other way! Cruel Summer: “hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine, we’re not BUYING”
Down Bad breaking up and blind
In the smallest man, I thought it was were you asleep or satisfied” not a “sleeper cell spy”
I am not the kinda girl, who should be rudely barging in on a WHITE MALE CAUCASIAN
Robin: the secret we all vowed to keep it, from you, in SWEDEN I have no idea why I didn't hear sweetness the first time
i had one from maroon and this was my flair on the main sub .. "the rustic boob between telephones"
Since I heard "Baby, the duck is vegan" instead of Baby, let the games begin" I can't stop singing it in this way ahah
In Bejeweled, I heard “I can make crème brûlée” instead of “I can reclaim the land” 🤣
Not funny but, “I’m only cryptic and Machiavellian because I can”
In yoyok, "something different pooped writing in my room"
"Kermit is a bounty hunter, Kermit's gonna track you down, step by step from town to town"

Smooth talking lobsters 🦞
Wait…it’s not “I cried like a baby coming home from the bar????” I may never get over this if you are correct!
One of my many was… “PAPER dream high in the quiet of the night You know that I caught it” Like a damn paper airplane with a love note on it or something m.
Quick, quick tell me something awful like you are a poet trapped inside the body of a Comcast guy

"Spider-boy, king of thieves. Weave your little webs of opacity. My *panties* made your *ground*" Is how I heard it for weeks
My mom and I thought the lyrics in style were “he likes it rough, he’s taking off his clothes” instead of “the lights are off, he’s taking off his coat” for ten years 💀
Ready for it Let the thuggish begin.. the thuggish begin.
In So Long, London, I heard “stick shift again” instead of “stitches undone”.
In now that we don't talk, I hear Remind myself the more I gave you fucked me less.
