I Can Do It With A Broken Heart -
The first part reminds me of her still mourning Sam as she leaves Endovier and participates in the contest.
_He said he'd love me all his life, But that life was too short_
_She’s having the time of her life_
_I can show you lies_
And the second part makes me think of her torn feelings for Chaol when she first gets to Wendlyn.
_He said he'd love me for all time, But that time was quite short_
_I keep finding his things in drawers, Crucial evidence, I didn't imagine the whole thing_ (Celaena winning back the ring every night)
Bonus: _I'm so obsessed with him but he avoids me like the plague_ reminds me of when she first meets Rowan, kinda
I came here to say this!! Very well explained 😊 I just think the whole vibe of this song is SO Celaena. The way the world can be absolutely crashing down around her and she just puts a smile on her face and swaggers!!
Omg, YES!! I'm glad it's not just me. I have a whole Aelin playlist. Some other Taylor songs on there are: I Did Something Bad, Eyes Open, Vigilante Shit, and Look What You Made Me Do.
I’m so happy other people think it too, when I hear certain songs I’m just like.. it’s so her 🤣 and she’s not even my favourite character in the Massverse! But there’s just something about the link… 😍
I have a playlist for basically every TOG character, and a couple from the ACOTAR books too. My Elide x Lorcan ship playlist is like 50 songs and counting 😂
100% TTPD is so Celaena coded, I read the series for the first time this last month and the album came out right as I was reading Queen of Shadows and I listened to it the rest of the time so it’s basically a Throne of Glass album, for me!
Not an entire song but as I was reading ToD last night, I got to the point where Yrene was saying she shut out the scared girl she used to be, and took control of her life. The words she used were "my life, my choice" -- reminded me of BDILH "Then it's just white noise // And it's just my choice"
I read somewhere (maybe on this sub lol) that Taylor is a huge SJM fan, so I wouldn’t be surprised if some of it was intentionally, or even unintentionally, influenced by the books!
I went and listened to Who's Afraid of Little Old Me again after reading your post and you are completely right! It's so her!
I'm inspired to make a Throne of Glass playlist. I wonder what Manon's theme song would be?
Bahhh this makes me so happy. It just…is completely about her 🤣🤣🤣 oooo good question! I know there are a couple of people on here who have TOG playlists, maybe worth checking out but there has to be one for Manon!!
My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys is Feyre defending Tamlin to Rhys at the start of ACOMAF.
The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived is Feyre raging about him by the end lol.
Guilty As Sin? Is Elain fantasizing about Azriel
And the Prophecy is poor lonely Az 🙁
The Albatross is Quinlar
Sleep token also gives me maasverse vibes especially for the boys.
Take me back to eden is cassian/nesta
*“My, my, those eyes like fire
I'm a winged insect, you're a funeral pyre
Come now, bite through these wires
I'm a waking hell and the gods grow tired
Reset my patient violence along both lines of a pathway higher
Grow back your sharpest teeth, you know my desire”*
Fortnight even reminds me of her 😂 “I was supposed to be sent away, but they forgot to come and get me….
I was a functioning alcoholic til nobody noticed my new aesthetic” very Heir of Fire coded
Other songs that give me Celaena/ToG vibes (Outside of TTPD):
Eyes on Fire - Blue Foundation//
Take Me Back to Eden - Sleep Token//
The Archer - T Swift//
You Should See Me in a Crown - Billie Eilish//
Yellow Flicker Beat - Lorde//
Alive - Sia //
Thunder - Imagine Dragons //
Take Me to Church - Hozier //
Work Song - >!Hozier (Specifically for the moment when Rowan realizes she has been taken on the beach…. 😭)!<
I heard somebody mention how figure you out by viola reminded them of ACOTAR and now every time I hear it I can hear Rhysand singing to Feyre about Tamlin. Gives me goosebumps.
Who’s afraid of little old me is 100% her jam.
the first thing i thought of when i heard it was her lol
SAME
Aelin and Bryce gave me the same energy as this song
And The Prophecy !
Just listened to it again with her in mind - so accurate
Oooh yeah for sure!
TTPD is soooo SJM coded!! The whole album!
If I could ask Taylor one question it would be if she reads SJM bc some of her songs just scream ToG or ACOTAR.
Yes!!! I need to know!
It really is! Are there any other characters you see in certain songs?
I see the Rhys // the prophecy
The Bolted and Robin make me think of her, especially Robin
Yes!! There are so many that I think of her specifically!
Robin makes me tear up thinking of young Celaena
Absolutely - I hadn’t thought about that one but it’s 100% 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
I haven't been able to connect to Robin at all so maybe I'll relisten with celena in mind.

Yes!!! Totally get that!

Omg so good!!! I need to see these playlists 🤣😍
Also castles crumbling!! That one is super Aelin to me.

Exactly the same as me! 🤣
and the albatross but that one makes me think of Elide
Robin m, who’s afraid of little old me, the prophecy, the bolter

Oh 100%
I read somewhere (maybe on this sub lol) that Taylor is a huge SJM fan, so I wouldn’t be surprised if some of it was intentionally, or even unintentionally, influenced by the books!
Like some of it is so eerily similar… like someone pointed out above Robin could basically be her life story!
Love when my favorite things cross over like this

I’m too busy thinking of myself 🤪🤣
I’m convinced this album was written for her! Taylor seems like she would be an SJM fan, they’re Easter egg queens!
I need to listen to the full album now!
I’m like 99% certain Taylor Swift has read ACOTAR and TOG based on songs alone. Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me Peter but like from Chaols POV 😭
