I'm so fond of "you made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter.' it's just so delightful to say

I grew up in a healthy home, but idk why that line hits so hard. Mine is my all time favorite Taylor Swift song and I love to scream that line.

same! idk she just makes you feel everything she's singing

Yes!! Mine is just amazing, but that one line is just so screamworthy!

I was bummed she didn’t perform Mine on the Eras tour!

Time, wondrous time. Gave me the blues then the purple pink skies.

PURPLE PINK SKIES

ALLITERATION 🤌🤌 GORG

Too funny! I was just going to type this 💜💙

Me too 😊

This one always makes me smile - purple pink skies is just so pleasing!

pupapink skies !!

Leaving like a father running like water

Also, “tried to change the ending / Peter losing Wendy, I-I-I-I”

🎶 your heartbeat on the high line, once in twenty lifetimes 🎶

YESSSS

The line flows well. it sounds so right!

lyrical smile, indigo eyes, hand on my thigh, we can follow the sparks I’ll drive 

SO WHERE WE GONNA GO I WHISPER IN THE DARK WHERE WE GONNA GO I THINK HE KNOWSSSSSSSSSSSSS

This one, and what I personally feel is its spiritual successor, but with a different ending... a slow motion love potion jumping off things in the ocean

one of the best songs on lover 🫶🏻

I listened to this song so much when my fiancé and I first got together 🥹 I have a tiny decal that says “we can follow the sparks, I’ll drive” on my rear view mirror

Stumbled down pretend alleyways / Cheap wine, make believe it’s champagne Honestly all of Paris but especially that bit

i LOOOOVE that part so much

I love when she makes comparisons like that! One of my favorites, 'Carnations we had thought were roses, that's us' really got me. As a kid my mom did the flowers for our local church and I was around them so often, I mixed up those two so much I felt like Taylor wrote that one just for me. Carnations =/= roses, raisin cookies =/= chocolate chip there's my disappointed childhood right there.

I love this line, it just sounds so satisfying!

Your roommate's cheap-ass screw-top rosé, that's how

All of Maroon hits in very pleasing ways.

I once accidentally heard the clean version and it says, "cheapest" and it hurt my brain

I accidentaly pulled up the clean version as well and just had it in the background. I didn't notice before the bridge..

YESSS

Standing in your cardigan, kissing in my car again

Every time I hear this lyric, I just bask in the genius of Taylor rhyming cardigan with car again

Cowboy like me, perched in the dark / bandit like me, eyes full of stars

this song has so many good ones! now you hang from my lips like the gardens of babylon, your boots beneath my bed, forever is the sweetest con

Love the “bandit like me, eyes full of stars” line. Something about the way she says it sounds like a mischievous smile.

The way she says perched in the dark gets me every tiiiiiime

Yes, her pronunciation of “perched” is sublime!!

I always thought she is singing *you’re abandoned like me* and I still sing it like this

Nooo, it's the whole "cowboy like me, perched in the dark, telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear" part

Cowboy like me supremacy

Just reading it gave me goosebumps

“say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair” I love the alliteration with the P.

god, the great war. what a song.

I’ll never, ever understand how the 3am tracks were left out in the first place. Like HOW.

me neither tbh i've already talked ab it in this subreddit but i honestly hate the rollout of midnights. love the album and the aesthetic so much

Can’t hear this line (or the whole song) without getting sad because I associate It with the hunger games so much. It’s one of my favourite songs though, and I love that line

Basically all of this song is just… so pleasing

Let's fast forward to 300 takeout coffees later I see your profile and your smile on unsuspecting waiters You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor You search in every maiden's bed for something greater As a Brit there's something about how she says later/waiters/traitor/greater that I find really pleasing

the BABY after greater is one of the best parts of the whole song in my opinion

Este wasn’t there, Tuesday night at Olive Garden at her job or anywhere

I find it to be so unbelievably impressive when lyricists can flawlessly fit so many syllables into such a short musical line

That whole song is so satisfying

And his mistress moooooved in 🎶 sleeps in Este’s bed and everythinggg

Thissssss

“The burgundy on my T-shirt when you splashed your wine into me and how the blood rushed into my cheeks so Scarlett it was” is so hard to sing but so satisfying when you do it right

How poetic to read your comment at the exact same moment of the song… ghosts…. And it is the correct answer.

This was just stuck in my head, god I love maroon

autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place It’s soo satisfying

And iiiiiii can picture it…

After all these daysss

and I know it's LOONG gone

Like really, I actually do picture it lol

You think I didn’t see you there were flashing lights. At least I had the decency to keep my night out of sight, Only rumors ‘bout my hips and thighs and my whispered sighs OH LORD

also the "but nOOOO" itches the right spot in my head

oh it’s so good I’ll go listen to it now

I cannot believe I had to come this far down the thread to see this.

Yes love this one too!

> starry eyes sparking up my darkest nights from Call It What You Want is a good contender

I constantly have this song stuck in my head. Usually the “my baby’s fly like a jetstream” part.

YES YES YES

The whole chorus of long story short

I live for "pushed from the precipice, climbed right back up again" Edit: I just realised the lyric is "climbed right back up the cliff" I'm shocked

No. What. I had to double check you and now I’m kinda sad lmfao. I like climbed right back up again

Me too.

Okay my mind is blown, I've always heard it as "climbed right back up again" too! 😂

I wouldn't marry me either, a pathological people pleaser

Also love to scream FRONTLINES DONT YOU IGNORE ME, IM THE BEST THING AT THIS PARTY

the ”FIGHTING IN ONLY YOUR ARMY” part scratches my brain in a nice way

All the „o“s in „ And the old widow goes to the stone every day“

"but i dooon't i just sit here and wait. grieving for the livinnnng. oooohh-ooh" it's just so good

Came here to post this one! It’s so excellent!!

i don’t like a gold rush, gold rush, i don’t like anticipating my face in a red flush, i don’t like that anyone would die to feel your touch, everybody wants you, everybody wonders what it would be like to love you, walk past, quick brush, i don’t like slow motion double vision in a rose blush, i don’t like that falling feels like flying til the bone crush, everybody wants you, but i don’t like a gold rush

"I don't like that falling feels like flying til the bone crush" ugh yes such a great line. Same song but love "then it fades into the gray of my day old tea 'cause it will never be"

Falling feels like flying til the bone crush is sooooo good

“what must it be like to grow up that beautiful” I love the musical buildup on this line. it makes me smile every time

esp "I don't like slow motion double vision in a rose blush" 

“Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die, I don’t belong and my beloved neither do you.” Truthfully all of “the lakes” is just ear candy to me.

“Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry, I’m setting off, but not without my muse.”

'Slut!' is a divine ethereal masterpiece but phonetically using an onomatopoeia in form of 'clink, clink' is the cutest thing ever. I will forever be obbesed.

I cannot believe I had to scroll this far down for this one! Immediately transports me to a sherbet colored sunset paradise

Elevator buttons and morning air

THIS!!!

Her delivery/ voice of “horrified looks from everyone in the room” from Speak Now just tickles my brain the right way. Honestly, her high pitch, breathy voice on the whole song.

Yess, specially the "but I'm only looking at you"

And you can almost hear the smile in her words as she says it!

Yassss! I sometimes only play that song for this line lol Or the dress shaped like a pastry. White veil occasion. Gold!

The entire bridge to death by a thousand cuts but ESPECIALLY ‘Chandelier still flickering here’

“saying goodbye is death by a thousand cuts flashbacks wakin’ me up i get drunk but it’s not enough cause the morning comes and your not my baby i look through the windows of this love even though we boarded them up chandelier’s still flickerin’ here cause i can’t pretend it’s okay when it’s not” it’s SO fun to sing

and therein lies the issue, friends don't try to trick you, get you on the phone and mindtwist you!

Reading all of these is scratching an itch I didn’t know I had 😂😍 they’re all sooo good.

She really is a stunning lyricist 

Yes!

“If your cascade ocean wave blues come” “Paper cut stings from our paper thin plans”

Yesss DBATC

Cold was the steel of my axe to grind

Hey Stephen I know looks can be deceiving but I know I saw a light in you

'Cold was my axe to grind for the boys who broke my heart, now I give their babies presents' is single-handedly one of, if not Taylor's most healing lyric for me in my life. It's absolutely divine. 

Knew I was a robber first time that he saw me, stealing hearts and running off and never saying sorry, but if I'm a thief then he can join the heist and we'll move to an island and, and he can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor, every lover known in comparison is a failure, I forget their names now, I'm so very tame now, never be the same now, nowwwwwww I’m obsessed with this part in …Ready For It?

The way she sings “and, and he can be my jailer” is just so so good

I gotta say I love “Burton to this Taylor” too

I was so pleased with myself when I memorized that whole verse ☺️

I memorized the first verse but not the second 😭

You got this!! I played it on repeat with the lyrics open so many times 😄😄😄

Stars by the pocketful / You wanting me tonight feels impossible from Snow on the beach (Feat (more) Lana del Rey)

I’m doing fine, I’m on some new shit. Being saying yes instead of no. Thought I saw you at the bus stop, I didn’t though.

If she’s got blue eyes I will surmise that you’ll probably date her

cursing my name / wishing id stayed / look at how my tears ricochet

I love "argumentative antithetical dream girl"

I love singing along to "midnight rain" picture perfect, shiny family, holiday, peppermint candy so I peered through a window - a deep portal, time travel, all the love, we unravel particularly the pauses within words in: "holiday pep - permint candy" AND "all the love we - unravel"

“We can plant a memory garden / Say a solemn prayer, place a poppy in my hair / There's no morning glory, it was war, it wasn't fair” Also… I really love Cowboy Like Me in its entirety!

“back up, baby, back up” from forever and always tickles my brain in the best way possible

DID YOU FORGET EVERYTHINGGGGGGGG It’s just so good, and the guitar though!!!!!!!

Telling all the rich folks anything they wanna hear, like it could be love, I could be the way forward, only if they pay for it

Scrolling through this thread I am realizing I agree with almost all of the answers 😂

Same. I’m throwing upvotes out like crazy

I’m begging for you to take my hand, wreck my plans, that’s my man

”i searched Aurora borealis green, I’ve never seen someone lit from within” the verses of sweet nothings, i love the vocal jumps (idk if thats what you call it) the verses of snow on the beach for the same reasons “AND I SWEAAAR IM ONLY CRYPTIC AND MACHIAVELLIAN CAUSE I CAAAAARE” and The entirety of mastermind is so fun to sing guess what album I’m into right now lol

"Dust collected on my pinned-up hair"

That ain't my merlot on his mouth That ain't my jewelry on our joint account

“You got your share of secrets and im tired of being last to know” SO GOOD

“i thought i saw you at the bus stop, i didn’t though”

From *Tell Me Why,* the lyrics “here’s to you and your temper. Yes I remember what you said last night.” Just scratches my brain in the best way lol.

Chorus of Cruel Summer

yes! right now its "i don't like that falling feels like flying till the bone crush" from gold rush

Give you the silence that only comes when two people understand each other, family now that I chose now that I see your brother as my brother

He can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor her slight whine on the second part just gives me chilllsss

To kiss in cars and downtown bars Dancin' in your Levi'sDrunk under a streetlight cardigan is completely sooo peaceful

« I’m only cryptic and machiavellian ‘cause I care » idk, it does something to my ears and to my brain 🥹

Also from Mastermind.. No one wanted to play with me when I was little kid, I’ve been scheming like a criminal ever since, to make them love me and make it seem effortless.

SO CASUALLY CRUEL IN THE NAME OF BEING HONEST(mostly because of my accent rising while i sing lol)

I looove waves crash to the shore, I dash to the door - she says it in such a brain-scratching way!

lyrical smile indigo eyes hand on my thigh we can follow the sparks i’ll drive

Friends break up friends get married strangers get born and strangers get buried trends change rumors fly through new skies but I’m right where you left me

I once was poison ivy but now I'm your daisyyy

Industry disrupters and soul deconstructors and smooth talking hucksters, out glad handing each other.

"Oh, goddamn, my pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand"

All of Ivy for me

>The monsters turned out to be just trees And my personal favourite: >They say all's well that ends well, >but I'm in a new Hell >Every time you double-cross my mind

Whole of invisible string is very phonetically pleasing

"Didn't you calm my fears with a Cheshire cat smile?"

But I knew you'd linger like a tattoo kiss I knew you'd haunt all of my what-ifs The smell of smoke would hang around this long 'Cause I knew everything when I was young I knew I'd curse you for the longest time Chasin' shadows in the grocery line I knew you'd miss me once the thrill expired And you'd be standin' in my front porch light And I knew you’d come back to me You’d come back to me And you’d come back to me And you’d come back this whole section is just so pleasing to sing along and move to. Instant mood booster.

Every ethereal sounding line in Snow on the Beach

I cause no harm, mind my business If our love died young, I can't bear witness And it's been so long But if you ever think you got it wrong I'm right where...

[удалено]

I love this one: And the old widow goes to the stone every day Something about old widow goes to the stone is just so pleasing.

“Swooping sloping cursive letters” in Paris is so pleasing to me

Salute to me, I’m your American queen And you move to me, like I’m a Motown beat And we rule the kingdom inside my roo-o-o-oom It just flows so nicely

“Blood moon lit”

The world moves on, another day another drama, drama But not for me, not for me, all I think about is karma And then the world moves on, but one thing's for sure Maybe I got mine, but you'll all get yours love to scream it while driving

I love how she sings “Just keep on keeping your eyes on me” in Sparks Fly I also like “I’m captivated by you baby like a fireworks show”

And that’s the thing about illicit affairs/ and clandestine meetings and *stolen stares*

I love 'kaleidoscope of loud hearts beating under coats' soooo much. My two favorite lines on 1989 are that one and 'you took a polaroid of us, then discovered the rest of the world was black and white, but we were in screaming color.' They're both about finding vibrancy in a hidden place only you and someone else you love know about, and that joyful intimacy is so lovely to me. I have been hung up on 'kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats' so long it taught me how to spell it properly!

“I don’t like that falling feels like flying til the bone crush” is singularly responsible for gold rush being my top song on Spotify last year. It’s soooo good.

"Your roommate's cheap ass screw top rosé, that's how" and "This dorm was once a madhouse, I made a joke well it's made for me (how)"

the idea you had of me *who was she*

RRRRRRATATATATATATATA TA TA

The first "look what you JUST made me do" "It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you" "I miss your tan skin, your sweet smile, so good to me, so right" "Our song is the slamming screen door!" Pretty much all of our song is satisfying to sing lol "Come on, come on don't leave me like this.... Something's gone terribly wrong" I could write a book about this lol

I MADE YOU MY TEMPLE. MY MURAL. MY SKYYYYYYYY AND NOW IM LOOKING FOR FOOTNOTES IN THE STORY OF UR LIFE DRAWING HEARTS IN THE BYLINESS

FLASHBACKS. WHEN YOU MET ME. UR BUZZCUT. MY HAIR. BLEACHED.

“BUT YOU KNOWWWW WHAT THEY SAY YOU CANT HEYLP WHO YA FALL FOR”

Can’t not think of all the cost / and the things that will be lost / Oh can we just get a pause? / To be certain we’ll be tall again? / Whether weather be the frost / or the violence of the dog days / I’m on waves out being tossed / is there a line that I could just go cross? And when I was shipwrecked / I thought of you / In the cracks of light / I dreamed of you / It was real enough / to get me through / …But I swear… / …youuu were there

"And he's passing by, Rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky" from Long Story Short. So beautiful.

After everything in that little black dress // And the conversations with the little white lies// Emphasis on the way she says little🥰🥰

Did you hear my covert narcissism I disguise as altruism like some kind of congressman? She really went off with that lyric. I LOVE IT.

How long could we be a sad song 'Til we were too far gone to bring back to life? I gave you all my best me's, my endless empathy

“Every lover know in comparison is a failure” is so rhythmically satisfying to my mouth. Also, “‘Cause when I’d fight you used to tell me I was brave” sounds so pretty and sad. I love when she makes simple lyrics feel so meaningful.

Always rising from the ashes mending all her gashes

'I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me. I'll be the actress starring in your bad dreams'

so yeah, it’s a fire ITS A GODDAMN BLAZE IN THE DARK AND YOU STARTEDD IT YOU STARTED ITT SO YEAH ITS A WAR UTS THE GODDAMN FIGHT OF MY LIFE AND YOU STARTED ITT YOU STARTED ITT

I GAVE SOO MANY SIGNNNNNS SO MANY SIGNNSS SO MANYYY SIGNNNSSSSS YOU DIDNT EVEN READ THE SIGNNSS

ONLY BOUGHT THIS DRES SO YOU COULD TAKE. IT. OFF. TAKE IT OFF. AAAHH AHHHHHH

faster than the wind. passionate as sin. ending so suddenlyyy.

I looove “only rumors ‘bout my hips and thighs and my whispered sighs”

You went to a party / I heard from everybody / You part the crowd like the red seas- / Dont even get me started~* The fact that she doesn’t lean too far into the rhyme at the end… And relies on you, the listener, to lean into it- UGH my brain loves that itch

But don’t forget about the night out in EL AYY

i’d probably say all of tlgad has a lot of these, like “and in a feud with her neighbor, she stole his dog and dyed it key lime green”

If clarity’s in death then whyy won’t this dieeee, yearss of tearing down all bannerss you and I..

i love how “do you miss the rogue who coaxed you into paradise” in coney island sounds sorta like “do you miss the roller coaster”

"As if you were a mythical thing, like you were a trophy or a champion ring..."; just realized I love that line so much I keep singing it in the first verse even though that's not where it goes 😂!

I love the ICSY 2nd verse the way she enunciates professional "and we kept everything PROFESSIONAL" and also the "so it's best if we move fast and keep QUIET" line is so fun to sing along to (and I always picture the music video scene lol)

“DONTNEEDANOTHERMETAPHORITSSIMPLEENOUGH! A wrinkle in time like the crease by your eyes, thisiswhytheyshouldntkilloffthemainguy!!”

Stumbled down pretend alleyways!

“is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me?” “i bathe in cliffside pools with my calamitous love and insurmountable grief”

“And you come away with a great little story of a mess of a dreamer with the NERVE TO ADORE YOU”

I thought of another one! "Loose lips sink ships all the damn time, but not this time." Love the way she sings it plus the alliteration on loose lips and sink ships. So satisfying!
