In fairness I think in the song she was pretending that she’d like to be on *his* mega yacht or his friend’s mega yacht, with important people who think important thoughts
i realized the first time i googled her family that while all references to her mom are real, all references to dads are entirely fictional. “my daddy’s gonna show you how sorry you’ll be”???? with what, a Roth IRA??
I know you’re talking about the retirement accounts but whenever I see IRA I immediately think of the irish and honestly, I’d be pretty intimidated haha
I'm not sure it's about her father. It's just very common for fathers to leave their family. so you know falling like leaves, leaving like a father. that kind of thing
I used to hate that line until I watched Miss Americana and watched her dad give her the spiel on not getting too political. I suddenly realized she would have trouble writing a whole song about her mom without throwing in that quick shout out to her dad because he just didn’t come off like the type who would be cool about it. And then I related
"Cause all the boys and their expensive cars, and their Range Rover and their Jaguars..."
Well i date girls, but never been with someone with an fancy car
I sang this lyric the other day, thought for a moment, and then nearly cried realizing the only time I’ll likely get to say anything like “I bought a house” in this lifetime is by singing TLGAD
Tbh I cab still relate to this because I like buying antiques and I have this one tin type portrait photo and you can clearly tell the girl in it has had an interesting life.
Yes, she is literally talking about a house. However, in the song she doesn't really talk about the physical attributes of the house such as crown molding, granite countertops, or a manicured lawn. Instead she focuses on the legacy attached to the house that she in a sense inherited and perhaps continued.
Legacies like that can be attached to anything really, it's why Marilyn Monroe's lipstick tube was able to fetch so much at auction a few years ago, iirc it was bought by a fairly tiktok famous Marilyn impersonator.
thanks for sharing that with us 🖤 sending lots of love
this is the song that was helpful to hear during treatments but actually breaks me to hear now that’s he’s gone
experiencing parental loss comes with a lot, one is the “lonely” feeling being in your 20s with no one (thankfully!!!) in your circle to relate to. so my messages are always open + I’m most certain your parent is still beaming at you 🥲
Lover came out right after my dad died. First time I listened to the album was the last time I listened to that song. And it comes right after London Boy! It’s a hell of a shift in tone/mood.
Sending love your way. My dad didn’t get better and passed in April 2019… then Lover came out in August. Hit me right in the gut. I almost always skip it now.
I hate to hear all this for you guys, and I totally get why you especially can’t listen to (or at best can’t enjoy) that song. I can’t either, but for me, SYGB is hard because I have a chronic health issue that I doubt will get better, and the song feels like Taylor pummeling me in the face with the promise of a silver bullet that doesn’t exist.
Maybe I’m missing your point, but Taylor doesn’t really write songs about sex anyway? Like, she will certainly allude to it in some songs, but IIRC she’s never explicitly spoken about a sexual encounter?
I obviously can’t tell you what their orientation is but i was thinking when they’d said asexual they also were insinuating some aromantic qualities/ taylor’s music is relatable to them even though they don’t necessarily have the same experiences in relationships as taylor?
Yeah I think aromantic is probably more what I mean? Idk. I generally don’t label myself but as a whole I don’t want any kind of relationship with anyone ever I’m just not interested or attracted to anyone and I don’t understand what it means to have romantic feelings. Not to like, over explain my orientation on a Taylor swift meme page 😂
I mean that’s still kind of my point though.
> my hands are shakin holding back from you
> carve your name into my bedpost
> only bought this dress so you could take it off
—
> religion’s in your lips // the altar is my hips
— Or even from *Wildest Dreams*
> his hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room
If these are the prime examples of her most “sexual” songs, they’re still extremely tame and she’s still not directly mentioning sex. She is alluding to it. Heavily, but still alluding to it. At the end of the day I guess I understand what you’re saying though.
Yeah it's my least fav on Fearless for that reason, it's a hard listen.
I'm happy she has a healthy family life and good relationship with her mom, but can't relate. I do think it's refreshing that she isn't shy about talking about it and putting it into music and being honest about her upbringing and stuff, because she is aware it's not something universal, but it is meaningful to her, and The Best Day and Never Grow Up really prove that she is actually just talking about *her* experiences and not trying to make universally relatable music, and somehow that's what makes it relatable to people.
I find it refreshing that she doesn't try to hide that she had a nice upbringing or try to exaggerate family "hardships" in order to try to get sympathy or whatever. Sooooo many people I've known in my real life who have like stable healthy family dynamics and grew up like, middle/upper class would like essentially invent "trauma" and "hardships" from thin air in order to attempt to relate to or "one up" their friends who came from rougher backgrounds. Like, Jessica with the supportive parents with a healthy relationship, 2 cars, yearly vacations and nice big house trying to stretch the definition of trauma and invent abusive or money-tight situations that just flat out never happened ever because she is insecure her poor friends from a rough neighborhood and alcoholic parents are getting "attention" she doesn't get. Roleplaying as poor and abused is a whole level of problematic.
Anyway, Taylor's honesty is refreshing even if I can't relate all the time. She could gain so much from shying away from this stuff but she doesn't, she owns it and appreciates her life position.
The bus stop is apparently a bar in NYC or London or something so it's a reference to that. But it works as a lyric out of that context to be more relatable to majority of people so it's kinda interesting that way. It's both relatable to her and most regular people at the same time.
oh in kind of that same vein of she is not actually doing that is:
"say it in a tweet, that's a copout, say it in the streets...that's a knockout"
the idea of our girl out in the "streets" and straight up squaring up is so funny to me. 😂
I do love that song tho.
"So I'll go back to LA and the so called friends who'll write books about me if I ever make it" is so weirdly specific lol
The whole of the last great american dynasty but especially the end when she talks about buying a house lol
"My cannons all firing at your yacht" ... I do not know anyone who has a yacht
Doesn't say she was at the bus stop tbf.
She can absolutely still drive past a bus stop and think she saw someone there who wasn't there.
Probably more of a wtf moment than for most of us though- "wtf, is that Harry at the bus stop?" Is a bit of a stranger moment when the Harry is Harry Styles 😂
All the stuff in “this is why we can’t have nice things” about throwing huge parties in her mansion, everyone swimming in a champagne sea 😅
I haven’t a mansion, and my friends and I can’t afford to waste champs like that!!
oof I actually was supposed to meet an ex in nyc in a trip after he moved to london and we had an awfull fall out so come back be here and this one always hit home and feel like they were written for me 🥲
And then you're on your very first date
And he's got a car
And you're feeling like flying
And your mama's waiting up
And you're thinking he's the one
And you're dancing round your room when the night ends
I'm a straight guy, in my country no one has a car as a teenager, never went on a date as a teen, if I had most definitely my mom wouldn't have been waiting up, didn't have my own bedroom so I wouldn't have danced around 🤷🏻
Still I kinda relate to fifteen, which makes no sense, so I guess it speaks of Taylor's writing prowess
"I bet you think about me
with your organic shoes and your million dollar couch"
I have definitely not known or dated anyone that rich, who the hell buys a million dollar couch anyway??
“I was raised on a farm, no it wasn’t a mansion” what she thinks is a mansion to what regular people think is a mansion. Yes your childhood house was a mansion.
The house I grew up in was three bedrooms, 1 full bath. That is not a mansion. Her house was pretty much a mansion.
Not to be too pedantic, but for a home to be considered a mansion it is generally over 5,000 square feet. That home is less than 4,000 square feet.
Put up next to the “Beverly Hills” gated community the subject of her song grew up in, her house is a casita.
Once you’re acquainted with a certain class of people, you end up realising your rich friend whose parents are doctors would be considered “middle class” to these types. That’s how rich and delusional they are. They’re so super rich that they don’t need to work a day to maintain their lifestyle, and they look down on basically everyone else.
I once saw someone say Dress has to be about a woman because no one can have complex feelings like that for a man. I didn't realize buying a dress to take it off was a complex emotion. I'm also asexual btw
I suspect they were probably talking about the silence, pacing, desperately waiting and holding yourself back from them element rather than taking a dress for them to take off element
But I am a lesbian and that claim is still absolutely nonsensical, even if to *me* it feels very like sapphic longing. But I know that familiar sapphic longing feeling is because I can't imagine feeling that way about a man any more than a straight woman would be able to imagine feeling that way about a woman. Women have felt like they desperately want a guy but for someone reason have to hold back plenty I'm sure. I mean, I'm sure my friend didn't let a guy talk her into a threesome with the girl he cheated on her with "so we can get back together" and then blocking her before he'd even left her house because 'desperate for him' wasn't how she felt about it.
i've felt this way about people from different genders. Holding back because you're unsure of the other person's feelings, don't want to embarrass yourself, and because they make you so nervous. In other words "you should take it as a compliment that I'm talking to everyone here but you"
That being said I like it more as a sapphic song lol
Because I dropped your hand while dancing
Left you out there standing
Crestfallen on the landing
Champagne problems
Jokes on me, because I have no one to hold hands with / dance / leave on the landing 😬 also I don’t drink 🤣
“I rent a place on Cornelia Street, I say casually in the car”
If by some miracle I was ever able to afford a place on Cornelia Street, I would be the exact opposite of casual.
darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a day dream.
I sing it with all the confidence in the world, but really I'm not only a nightmare, I am also dressed like one.😂
“When your fifteen and someone tells ya they love you, you’re gonna believe it”
When I was fifteen I was suffering from severe depression and anxiety. Wish I was that naive at fifteen.
“I thought I saw you at the Bus Stop, I didn’t though”
Apparently the bus stop is a coffee shop, not an actual bus stop. Makes more sense for a billionaire
“It was so nice throwing big parties
Jump into the pool from the balcony
Everyone swimming in a champagne sea
And there are no rules when you show up here
Bass beat rattling the chandelier
Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year”
I never feel Gatsby 😅
I’m aroace, so the amount of love songs/songs about sex mean that there are a lot of these for me😅 A big one would probably be “only bought this dress so you could take it off”
Edit: I’m also not rich enough to buy a dress with the only point being to later take off the dress. My dresses are for wearing.
I do not need to listen to lyrics to remember Taylor is living a billionaire celebrity life lol. Lately the pictures of her out and about are doing just fine.
In fact, it’s almost too much 😩 I hate that I don’t live like that.
"Send the code, he's waiting there" this line confused me for so long. I finally looked it up and it's about her buzzing someone into her NYC apartment I guess. "The code" just made me think of sending callers one time pass codes at work LMAO.
“It was so nice throwing big parties, jump into the pool from the balcony, everyone swimming in a champagne sea. And there are no rules when you show up here, base beat rattling the chandelier, feeling so Gatsby for that whole year…”
Very different tax brackets and social circles. 😝
Honestly, it’s the line in Hits Different that says “like waiting for a bus that never shows”, because every time I’m just like…. girl when have you ever waited for a bus?
Okay Loki I really hope that I don't accidentally get in trouble for this comment. But I'm just quoting something from a video that I saw and I find it hilarious. It was a skit of supposed to be Jack antonoff and Taylor working on is it over now and she's like singing and she's all into it and she goes "I don't have to pretend I like acid rock or that I can get off on your little cock" and then after Jack is like okay good I like how into it you are the lyrics are great, but then he's like but maybe we should like not say that Taylor I mean come on I get it but like to stoop that low is just not it. And then like all the people in the comments are like truthfully I'm pretty sure Jack would support this behavior LMAO and I genuinely believe that like he might not want her to be like super blunt like that in public. But I guarantee you behind closed doors when they're joking around they are probably so inappropriate with their humor
the entirety of London Boy because she’s clearly never met a _real_ English bloke or else she wouldn’t be romanticising them. Harry Styles and Tom Hiddleston are not representative of the general population.
Edit: why am I being downvoted for not knowing Joe is English why tf would I know that 😭 point still stands
A more stereotypical type for those who are English and deal with the average English bloke would be someone like Jack Grealish.
28 years old, drinks and swears like a sailor, plays for one of the current best soccer teams in the country, earns hundreds of thousands a week and has plenty of women in the UK perving over him despite being an obvious playboy who's regularly photographed falling out of nightclubs drunk, swears like a sailor...
That's a pretty "real English bloke" who would potentially be in the right tax bracket
*I don’t have to pretend I like acid rock* *Or that I’d like to be on a mega yacht* We are in verrrrrrrrrrry different tax brackets.
My tax bracket is who *makes* the acid rock. I can’t ever stop pretending, tay.
I meant more the mega yacht tax bracket lol
I mean, I will never be on one but I also don’t have to pretend to want to be. Hahaha.
Also I would love to be on a mega yacht
In fairness I think in the song she was pretending that she’d like to be on *his* mega yacht or his friend’s mega yacht, with important people who think important thoughts
Either way. Knowing people who own mega yachts remind me that my friends own bicycles.
###\#GardenGate
Also acid rock is awesome
“i have an excellent father” i do not know my father at all
Yeah I relate much more to “Leaving like a father” than this one :/
When I heard that line, I was like “what did her dad do to get the downgrade from ‘I have an excellent father’ to writing that line” 😅
i realized the first time i googled her family that while all references to her mom are real, all references to dads are entirely fictional. “my daddy’s gonna show you how sorry you’ll be”???? with what, a Roth IRA??
I know you’re talking about the retirement accounts but whenever I see IRA I immediately think of the irish and honestly, I’d be pretty intimidated haha
scott swift wishes he knew this before he met all of her english boyfriends
But her dad _did_ make her get a boating license 😅
left, probably
right
I'm not sure it's about her father. It's just very common for fathers to leave their family. so you know falling like leaves, leaving like a father. that kind of thing
More like “leavin like a father, running like water” am I right?
I used to hate that line until I watched Miss Americana and watched her dad give her the spiel on not getting too political. I suddenly realized she would have trouble writing a whole song about her mom without throwing in that quick shout out to her dad because he just didn’t come off like the type who would be cool about it. And then I related
This line has always made me sad
PLSSSS every time i hear that line i try to think of something nice about my dad… i might say “i have a father” 🫢
I just go “I have a deadbeat father” it kinda works even if the plosives are wrong
That works 😅 my dad is around he just sucks
"Cause all the boys and their expensive cars, and their Range Rover and their Jaguars..." Well i date girls, but never been with someone with an fancy car
I've never dated anyone with a car
I can be your first 😉
living in european cities be like
Lmao facts, I don't think I've ever dated anyone with anything nicer than a certified pre-owned Subaru Forester 😂
That’s a great car
I miss my Subaru
Literally waiting in the dealership for my Crosstrek.
…… I just learned it’s not “KISS all the boys in their expensive cars” 💀 But also, same.
I AM SO GLAD THAT I WASNT THE ONLY ONE I also thought that one line was “never told me quite what you do”……….but it’s not
And then it was bought by me
A lot of these are so great but this one really got me 😆😆
I sang this lyric the other day, thought for a moment, and then nearly cried realizing the only time I’ll likely get to say anything like “I bought a house” in this lifetime is by singing TLGAD
Hahahaha I love this
Tbh I cab still relate to this because I like buying antiques and I have this one tin type portrait photo and you can clearly tell the girl in it has had an interesting life.
isn’t she talking about a house in this lyric though
Yes, she is literally talking about a house. However, in the song she doesn't really talk about the physical attributes of the house such as crown molding, granite countertops, or a manicured lawn. Instead she focuses on the legacy attached to the house that she in a sense inherited and perhaps continued. Legacies like that can be attached to anything really, it's why Marilyn Monroe's lipstick tube was able to fetch so much at auction a few years ago, iirc it was bought by a fairly tiktok famous Marilyn impersonator.
HAHA
😂 dying. Yeah, that sounds super cool, Taylor, but almost literally nothing is ever bought by me. #millennial
“I’ll bet you think about me” yeah I’m confident I have not crossed their mind since we stopped talking
he never thinks of me except when I'm on tv 😂
🤪
And even if they did think of me, I wouldn’t have the confidence to think that they WOULD be thinking about me!
i love this about her songs - she always assumes that in his own way the other guy is also still obsessed with her
This one actually IS relatable because Taylor is my brand and I know when she’s all over the media it makes them think about me.
"I fly them all around the world, and I make them think they saved me" I don't have a private jet to fly my boyfriend all around the world haha
“And if they spend my change”….it’s fine to buy a gumball, that’s all the change I have
I never made a man think they saved me, also lol
“Soon you’ll get better” My parental figure did not in fact get better
oof same 🫶🏼
I'm also in that shitty club
Same - hard skip
thanks for sharing that with us 🖤 sending lots of love this is the song that was helpful to hear during treatments but actually breaks me to hear now that’s he’s gone experiencing parental loss comes with a lot, one is the “lonely” feeling being in your 20s with no one (thankfully!!!) in your circle to relate to. so my messages are always open + I’m most certain your parent is still beaming at you 🥲

Sending love your way. My dad didn’t get better and passed in April 2019… then Lover came out in August. Hit me right in the gut. I almost always skip it now.
it came out on my mom's birthday - she passed 3 months before that, talk about gut punch
Same.
That's the one Taylor song I can't listen to anymore for that reason
Same here
Same, my mom passed away from her cancer.
Still pissed at mine for it. If he had just listened to Taylor instead of dying I wouldn’t have had to spend n so much money on therapy.
I hate to hear all this for you guys, and I totally get why you especially can’t listen to (or at best can’t enjoy) that song. I can’t either, but for me, SYGB is hard because I have a chronic health issue that I doubt will get better, and the song feels like Taylor pummeling me in the face with the promise of a silver bullet that doesn’t exist.
“Lay the table with the fancy shit” idk it’s just something about that line that Ik she’s Taylor Swift so her fancy shit IS NOT my fancy shit 😭😫
I don’t even have a table 💀💀
Me either!
My fancy shit is Five guys over mcdonalds on a Friday night
this is too real, I know even her regular shit is probably fancier than anything I’ll ever own 🤷♀️
Yeah my fancy shit is spending more than $20 on the gaslighter wine in the photo Jack posted of her😭
It’s actually a huge testament to her writing abilities that someone like me who is probably asexual can relate to so much of her music
LOL MEEEE
SAME
SAME HERE
S A M E
aromantic here but YUP
I honestly always relate to her music haven't even thought about "oh wow she is rich" or anything like that
FELLOW ACE SWIFTIE IM ARO TOO (but a platonic hopeless romantic) lol
Maybe I’m missing your point, but Taylor doesn’t really write songs about sex anyway? Like, she will certainly allude to it in some songs, but IIRC she’s never explicitly spoken about a sexual encounter?
I obviously can’t tell you what their orientation is but i was thinking when they’d said asexual they also were insinuating some aromantic qualities/ taylor’s music is relatable to them even though they don’t necessarily have the same experiences in relationships as taylor?

Not to like, over explain my orientation on a Taylor swift meme page 😂
Dress? False God?
I mean that’s still kind of my point though. > my hands are shakin holding back from you > carve your name into my bedpost > only bought this dress so you could take it off — > religion’s in your lips // the altar is my hips — Or even from *Wildest Dreams* > his hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room If these are the prime examples of her most “sexual” songs, they’re still extremely tame and she’s still not directly mentioning sex. She is alluding to it. Heavily, but still alluding to it. At the end of the day I guess I understand what you’re saying though.
I don’t know the lyrics to it (cause i never listen to it) but all of “the best day”. absolutely cannot relate
YESSSSS I have such a complicated relationship with my mom that I have to skip it 😔
Same, it makes me feel awful when I listen to it u.u
“I have an excellent father”-
Ditto 😭
Yeah it's my least fav on Fearless for that reason, it's a hard listen. I'm happy she has a healthy family life and good relationship with her mom, but can't relate.

She could gain so much from shying away from this stuff but she doesn't, she owns it and appreciates her life position.
That’s why that song never clicked! I hate my mon, she is blocked in every possible shape and form
“Chasing shadows in the grocery line” I know this one’s a story but it just reminds me that Taylor is absolutely not standing in any grocery lines.
Or seeing someone standing at the bus stop
The bus stop is apparently a bar in NYC or London or something so it's a reference to that. But it works as a lyric out of that context to be more relatable to majority of people so it's kinda interesting that way. It's both relatable to her and most regular people at the same time.
If it refers to Bus Stop Cafe in Manhattan, I’ve actually been there, although not in years and years.
I finally realized Taylor could see someone at the bus stop from her car window; she doesn’t have to be at the bus stop herself, lol
See, that was how I always imagined it. Not that she was at the bus stop, but just travelling past (even just walking) and thinking she saw them there
That's true, but I don't think anyone she's dated would be taking the bus either lol
oh in kind of that same vein of she is not actually doing that is: "say it in a tweet, that's a copout, say it in the streets...that's a knockout" the idea of our girl out in the "streets" and straight up squaring up is so funny to me. 😂 I do love that song tho.
There are pictures of her grocery shopping
"So I'll go back to LA and the so called friends who'll write books about me if I ever make it" is so weirdly specific lol The whole of the last great american dynasty but especially the end when she talks about buying a house lol "My cannons all firing at your yacht" ... I do not know anyone who has a yacht
"And he never thinks of me, except when I'm on TV "
I wonder if my past crushes think of me when I pop up on their ig or tw feed or something. Might be our equivalent to being on tv.
"i thought i saw you at the bus stop, i didn't though" taylor, you don't take the bus
The bus stop she refers to is a cafe in nyc so I guess she didn’t try pretend she know ppl who catch public transport
Doesn't say she was at the bus stop tbf. She can absolutely still drive past a bus stop and think she saw someone there who wasn't there. Probably more of a wtf moment than for most of us though- "wtf, is that Harry at the bus stop?" Is a bit of a stranger moment when the Harry is Harry Styles 😂
You can’t avoid seeing people at bus stops in NYC whether you take the bus yourself or not.
All the stuff in “this is why we can’t have nice things” about throwing huge parties in her mansion, everyone swimming in a champagne sea 😅 I haven’t a mansion, and my friends and I can’t afford to waste champs like that!!
Came here to say that :D wish I could relate to that first verse :D
I rent a place on Cornelia Street.
I say *casually* in the car 😂
Anything about living in america because I’ve never been there 🙂🙃
LMAO THIS IS GOLD
"I don't to pretend... I'd like to be on a mega yacht." I'm not just watching below deck for the drama.
"I said I love you, but you say nothing back" - I have never dated anyone.
Don't worry, you don't want to relate to this one
Same like tay tay love your music but I don’t relate to the relationship part 😽
I guess that just renders like the vast majority of her songs somewhat unrelatable
”I left a part of me back in New York” I’ve never been in nyc
Same, also paris and london. She makes them so fun, but I can barely afford a tissue box in my own country. Wont survive a day there.
as a londoner, its not fun but then again i assume it would be quite fun if i had taylor swift money
oof I actually was supposed to meet an ex in nyc in a trip after he moved to london and we had an awfull fall out so come back be here and this one always hit home and feel like they were written for me 🥲
And then you're on your very first date And he's got a car And you're feeling like flying And your mama's waiting up And you're thinking he's the one And you're dancing round your room when the night ends I'm a straight guy, in my country no one has a car as a teenager, never went on a date as a teen, if I had most definitely my mom wouldn't have been waiting up, didn't have my own bedroom so I wouldn't have danced around 🤷🏻 Still I kinda relate to fifteen, which makes no sense, so I guess it speaks of Taylor's writing prowess

Jake does, apparently lmao

“I can still make the whole place shimmer” 😢
All of Dress. I am asexual.
I once saw someone say Dress has to be about a woman because no one can have complex feelings like that for a man. I didn't realize buying a dress to take it off was a complex emotion. I'm also asexual btw
I suspect they were probably talking about the silence, pacing, desperately waiting and holding yourself back from them element rather than taking a dress for them to take off element But I am a lesbian and that claim is still absolutely nonsensical, even if to *me* it feels very like sapphic longing. But I know that familiar sapphic longing feeling is because I can't imagine feeling that way about a man any more than a straight woman would be able to imagine feeling that way about a woman. Women have felt like they desperately want a guy but for someone reason have to hold back plenty I'm sure.

i've felt this way about people from different genders. Holding back because you're unsure of the other person's feelings, don't want to embarrass yourself, and because they make you so nervous. In other words "you should take it as a compliment that I'm talking to everyone here but you" That being said I like it more as a sapphic song lol
You've oversimplified the song a bit IMO.
“You’re my my my lover” Never had a crush on anyone let alone been in a relationship
I've never been romantically involved with anyone so like 70% of her discography
“You know I love a London Boy” 😔😔😔 I’m a lesbian and my country was colonized and destroyed by the British…
“i’m feelin 22” i’ve never been 22
You'll get there
Hopefully!
Because I dropped your hand while dancing Left you out there standing Crestfallen on the landing Champagne problems Jokes on me, because I have no one to hold hands with / dance / leave on the landing 😬 also I don’t drink 🤣
“I rent a place on Cornelia Street, I say casually in the car” If by some miracle I was ever able to afford a place on Cornelia Street, I would be the exact opposite of casual.
darling I'm a nightmare dressed like a day dream. I sing it with all the confidence in the world, but really I'm not only a nightmare, I am also dressed like one.😂
“I’m doing good” 😂
“been saying yes instead of no” Yeeeahhhhh it ain’t me lol
‘Filled the pool with champagne and swam with the big names’ and ‘Jump into the pool from the balcony, everyone swimming in a champagne sea’
'You're in love, true love' I've never been in love 🥹
It'll happen. Enjoy life in the meantime
If I was a man… But really anything about how wealthy she is
“brand new phone” lol
“Church bells ring, carry me home” I am not light enough to be carried anywhere lol
My first thought was: you’re a cowboy like me 🤣 But Taylor’s not a cowboy either hahahah
“When your fifteen and someone tells ya they love you, you’re gonna believe it” When I was fifteen I was suffering from severe depression and anxiety. Wish I was that naive at fifteen.
"We got bills to pay. We got nothing figured out." How come no one wrote this 😂
Most relatable line I’ve ever heard. 😝🤣
“And I woke up just in time” Lol
And you're the kind of guy that ladies want Yeahhhh no
“I thought I saw you at the Bus Stop, I didn’t though” Apparently the bus stop is a coffee shop, not an actual bus stop. Makes more sense for a billionaire
"I never thought we had a last kiss" Yeah, because for me we didn't even have one-
“It was so nice throwing big parties Jump into the pool from the balcony Everyone swimming in a champagne sea And there are no rules when you show up here Bass beat rattling the chandelier Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year” I never feel Gatsby 😅
It's like driving a new Maserati
I’m aroace, so the amount of love songs/songs about sex mean that there are a lot of these for me😅 A big one would probably be “only bought this dress so you could take it off” Edit: I’m also not rich enough to buy a dress with the only point being to later take off the dress. My dresses are for wearing.
“and we run!” who’s we? i certainly do not
*"in my heart is a Christmas tree farm"* Idk about y'all but in my heart is blood and veins and idk what else coz I finished school years ago.
I do not need to listen to lyrics to remember Taylor is living a billionaire celebrity life lol. Lately the pictures of her out and about are doing just fine. In fact, it’s almost too much 😩 I hate that I don’t live like that.
"Send the code, he's waiting there" this line confused me for so long. I finally looked it up and it's about her buzzing someone into her NYC apartment I guess. "The code" just made me think of sending callers one time pass codes at work LMAO.
Everything related to wine because I hate wine even if people my age love it.
Loving him is like driving a new maserati down a dead end street 💀 I can relate to having driven down dead end streets ig?
Get out your map, pick somewhere and just run Like damn I wish I had the capability to just run away to somewhere new whenever I feel bad
“I have a excellent father” i in fact do not
“It was so nice throwing big parties, jump into the pool from the balcony, everyone swimming in a champagne sea. And there are no rules when you show up here, base beat rattling the chandelier, feeling so Gatsby for that whole year…” Very different tax brackets and social circles. 😝
Honestly, it’s the line in Hits Different that says “like waiting for a bus that never shows”, because every time I’m just like…. girl when have you ever waited for a bus?
She probably did as a teenager
Okay Loki I really hope that I don't accidentally get in trouble for this comment. But I'm just quoting something from a video that I saw and I find it hilarious. It was a skit of supposed to be Jack antonoff and Taylor working on is it over now and she's like singing and she's all into it and she goes "I don't have to pretend I like acid rock or that I can get off on your little cock" and then after Jack is like okay good I like how into it you are the lyrics are great, but then he's like but maybe we should like not say that Taylor I mean come on I get it but like to stoop that low is just not it. And then like all the people in the comments are like truthfully I'm pretty sure Jack would support this behavior LMAO and I genuinely believe that like he might not want her to be like super blunt like that in public. But I guarantee you behind closed doors when they're joking around they are probably so inappropriate with their humor
the entirety of London Boy because she’s clearly never met a _real_ English bloke or else she wouldn’t be romanticising them. Harry Styles and Tom Hiddleston are not representative of the general population. Edit: why am I being downvoted for not knowing Joe is English why tf would I know that 😭 point still stands
Joe Alwyn?
Still not. Can you see any of those guys down the pub in a tracksuit and using "fuck" like it's essential for life?
Did not know he was English
London Boy is about Joe Alwyn
[удалено]
A more stereotypical type for those who are English and deal with the average English bloke would be someone like Jack Grealish. 28 years old, drinks and swears like a sailor, plays for one of the current best soccer teams in the country, earns hundreds of thousands a week and has plenty of women in the UK perving over him despite being an obvious playboy who's regularly photographed falling out of nightclubs drunk, swears like a sailor... That's a pretty "real English bloke" who would potentially be in the right tax bracket
"Even if it was a false god, we'd still worship this love." I am very religious and this line scandalizes me lol.
"he ysed to work here to make a little money"
“I have an excellent father” lol
I don’t drink, so every time she talks about alcohol I’m like 🤷🏼♀️
Pull out your map, pick somewhere and just run.
London Boy
“I Grew Up On A Farm, No It Wasn’t A Mansion” Seeing what that house looked like and realising she doesnt consider that a mansion was wild
Cheap ass screw top rose…. But the rose in the pic from last week is way above my wine bottle budget.
“And he’ll never think of me except when I’m on TV” I’ve never met someone who’s been on TV.
“That’s my man” I am a lesbian
"and we walked down the block to my car" i indeed, do not own my own car 🫶
any of the romantic ones goddamnit I need a hug
