10 Times Taylor Swift Lyrics Described Our EXACT Situation

Taylor Swift might seem like a perfect human, but she’s definitely had her share of ups and downs. Her songs make up the soundtrack to our lives, and for good reason. Here are 10 times Taylor basically read our minds.

1. Ending an on-again, off-again relationship

“I say, ‘I hate you,’ we break up, you call me, ‘I love you’”

Situation: You’re stuck in an endless cycle of breaking up and getting back together, and it’s driving you crazy. Solution? Blast this song in the car on your way to ending it for good.

Song: “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”

2. Fighting with your SO

“I should just tell you to leave ‘cause I/Know exactly where it leads, but I/Watch us go ‘round and ‘round each time”

Situation: You and your SO are going through a rough patch, and it sucks. Instead of acting helpless, sit down with him or her and determine if you want to keep the relationship going.

Song: “Style”

3. Being around an ex you’re not over

“I’d tell you I miss you but I don’t know how/I’ve never heard silence quite this loud”

Situation: You were just broken up with, and now you have to face him or her. All you can do is think about everything you didn’t get to say. Give it some time; you might not feel the same way once the sting wears off.

Song: “The Story of Us”

4. Meeting a new cutie

“The playful conversation starts/Counter all your quick remarks/Like passing notes in secrecy”

Situation: You’re at a party and you hit it off with a friend of a friend. You haven’t felt butterflies like this in forever, so why not take a chance? You never know where it could lead.

Song: “Enchanted”

5. Falling in love

“And I don’t know why but with you I’d dance in a storm in my best dress/Fearless”

Situation: You’ve been dating your boyfriend or girlfriend for a few months now, and you’re really starting to fall for him or her. Tell your SO how you feel—chances are, they feel the same way!

Song: “Fearless”

6. Celebrating a special event

“I said remember this moment in the back of my mind/The time we stood with our shaking hands/The crowds in stands went wild”

Situation: You’re graduating alongside your closest friends, or going off to college for the first time—and you can’t believe how quickly the time flew by. Remember this moment; it’s a unique feeling that you’ll always treasure.

Song: “Long Live”

7. Dealing with a frenemy

“Someday I’ll be living in a big ol’ city/And all you’re ever gonna be is mean”

Situation: There’s a girl at work who you know is talking about you behind your back. Don’t stoop to her level. The best revenge is to be the bigger person and not let it get to you.

Song: “Mean”

8. Going out with the girls

“It feels like a perfect night to dress up like hipsters/And make fun of our exes”

Situation: It’s a Friday after a tough week at your internship, and you’re so ready for a night out. Get all dressed up, grab the girls, and get ready for a GNO to remember.

Song: “22”

9. Feeling heartbroken

“Hey, you call me up again just to break me like a promise/So casually cruel in the name of being honest”

Situation: You’re dealing with a tough breakup, and all you want to do is cry and, well, listen to T. Swift. Give yourself some time to mope, but then get back on your feet. You’ll never get over him or her if you keep dwelling on the past.

Song: “All Too Well”

10. Recognizing an unhealthy relationship

“Once upon a time a few mistakes ago/I was in your sights, you got me alone”

Situation: You fell for a bad boy or girl, and it was fun for a time. But all your friends are telling you that it’s unhealthy, and you’re starting to realize they’re right. Take a page out of Taylor’s book and let them go.

Song: “I Knew You Were Trouble”
