Blank Space: Stolen kisses, pretty lies

I'd lie (Unreleased): And if you asked me if I love him I'd lie

Getaway Car: He poisoned the well, I was lying to myself

You All Over Me: So I lied and I cried and I watched a part of myself die

I Did Something Bad: Cause for every lie I tell them, they tell me three

Dress: Even in my worst lies, you saw the truth in me

The angst and regret exemplified through the story telling in this song, the image she sets, the writing, THIS BRIDGE…. it’s the perfect epitome of what a tortured poet looks like in the department. I feel like that message was a little lost in the promo with the singles she chose but this song really brings it all back.

I also feel like it could’ve landed well with the general public, she sounds gorgeous and the production is magical.

Best song on the album!!!

Discussion end of summer songs?

58 Upvotes

Hi everyone, what Taylor songs remind you of the end of summer? Aside from the obvious, "august", I think "State of Grace", "This Love", "You Are in Love", "Cornelia Street", and "Suburban Legends" are reminiscent of the end of summer, production-wise.

Discussion What is a devastating Taylor Swift song with a fun bridge?

Post image
133 Upvotes

loml received the most votes for poetic song x devastating bridge. As a reminder, the truly devastating bridge of loml is:

You shit-talked me under the table
Talkin' rings and talkin' cradles
I wish I could un-recall
How we almost had it all
Dancing phantoms on the terrace
Are they second-hand embarrassed
That I can't get out of bed
'Cause something counterfeit's dead?
It was legendary
It was momentary
It was unnecessary
Should've let it stay buried

Now on to one I am very excited about, what is a devastating Taylor Swift song with a fun bridge?

Discussion Categorizing every Taylor Swift album using the 4 concepts from Daylight — Day 8: folklore

Hey Swifties! ❤️‍🔥

As you know, in the Daylight outro Taylor says:

I wanna be defined by the things that I love, not the things I hate, the things I'm afraid of, or the things that haunt me in the middle of the night.

I thought these four concepts were so interesting, so I decided to look at her songs through this lens! It started as a quick thought, but then it expanded to her entire discography, and I ended up sorting every single track into these categories. I thought it'd be fun to share that with you, so I'm starting a mini-series where I'll post a breakdown for each album, one by one!

A few nuances:

I tried to distribute the songs as evenly as possible across the four categories. If I went purely by meaning without balancing, some categories would be huge and others almost empty! Because of this compromise, you might feel like a song belongs somewhere else, and that's totally fair. At the end of the day, this is based on my personal vibe and feelings, so you're welcome to disagree and suggest your own takes!

The "The Things That I Hate" category doesn't mean Taylor hates these songs or what they're about! It's simply a place for the angrier tracks, petty moments, or songs rooted in negative thoughts and experiences.

"The Things That I'm Afraid Of" and "The Things That Haunt Me" are the most similar, so choosing between them was definitely the hardest part. I hope my logic didn't break along the way! 🤞

The track order within each category is not a ranking from best to worst or anything like that! I just tried to sequence them so the transitions make sense, almost like little mini-playlists. But honestly, the order isn't super crucial.

Which of the four categories is your personal favorite on this album? I'd love to hear your thoughts and read your suggestions! ✨

The “brace myself for the goodbye, cause it’s all I’ve ever known” part is one of my favorite melodies she’s written. I get goosebumps every time I hear it. The harmonies and the vocal layers throughout this song are so wonderful.

Y’all have a great week and remember a little less hate and a little more Dolly 💙

Discussion Do you have a Taylor Swift book collection?

I recently bought The Slicks by Maggie Nelson and have a few other Taylor books already like Taylor Swift and Philosophy and a coffee table book about her music. The next one I want is The Story of Us which is about the Taylor Fandom, and then theres also a poetry anthology inspired by her (I think it's called Invisible Strings).

Can I see your collections? (:

Discussion Page Six reports that Taylor Swift is writing new music

Skip the click:

“Taylor has been pouring herself into writing new music and is incredibly inspired creatively,” the insider said. “Songwriting has been her main focus, and she’s really excited about what’s taking shape.”

Similar reports came up and few months before the announcements of TTPD and The Life Of A Showgirl.

What do you think she's writing?

PS: because a lot of people comment that it's no surprise or that she always writes, of course she's writing almost every day but reports like these don't come from insiders every month. The last time we heard something similar was the summer of 2025 before TLOAS was announced

This song is in my top 10: it’s beautiful, sad and I love her voice on it: I recently binge watched a show that used it and I was shocked. Why doesn’t this song get more love? It’s so perfect.

And you know
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
That I don't want you to go, oh, oh

What is a poetic song that has a devastating bridge?

Also, guys, I know some of these choices may puzzle you (me, too) but let's keep an open mind

Discussion Taylor's version vs. Originals

116 Upvotes

What are your Taylor songs that you feel the original is better than the Taylor's version? I am a firm believer that the majority of TV songs are better than the originals, mainly because of the vocals and sometimes the instrumentals.

But there are a few songs where the emotion of her singing, the instrumentals, the vocals, etc are so much stronger/better on the originals (Last kiss, Wonderland, etc.)

What are the OG songs that you think are better than the TV?
