We all know the feeling when a song completely puts into words everything you’re feeling. It’s like they read your mind. When it comes to love, Taylor Swift is the queen of somehow describing your own situation better than you ever could. Not only does it feel like she just gets you, she totally validates that tons of other girls and guys have felt exactly the same way as you and it makes you feel less alone. Here are my top ten Taylor Swift lyrics that just get it.
1. For When You’re Crushing Hard
“Please don’t be in love with someone else. Please don’t have somebody waiting on you” – Enchanted
We’ve all been there:, wondering if he/she likes you back or if they already have their eye on someone else. It drives you crazy not knowing, but you’re too scared to make the first move so you’ll just silently pray there’s no one else in the picture.
2. When He Totally Screws You Over
“If a man talks shit then I owe him nothing” – I Did Something Bad
You can be the nicest person out there, but that doesn’t mean you’ll let others walk all over you. Once your trust has been broken, there’s no going back.
3. When It’s Still New
“Is it cool that I said all that? Is it chill that you’re in my head? ‘Cause I know that it’s delicate” – Delicate
When you’re seeing someone new, you usually try not to come off as too eager right off the bat. But sometimes you just can’t hold back and worry you’ll say too much at once. Trust us, it’s cool that you said all that.
4. Radio Silence
“And I’m dying to know, is it killing you like it’s killing me?” – The Story Of Us
You thought things were going great – until things totally fall apart. Now running into them everywhere is driving you crazy wondering if they’re hurting as much as you are.
5. After a Really Good Date
“I’m wonderstruck, blushing all the way home” – Enchanted
Butterflies in your stomach and feeling like you’re floating on clouds… It’s the best feeling ever and you can’t stop replaying it all in your head on the way home.
6. When You’re Focusing On You
“We are too busy dancing to get knocked off our feet” – New Romantics
Sometimes, you’re so over dating and just want to focus on you and have fun with your friends. We believe a good dance party is the best medicine – and so does Taylor!
7. When You Just Wish Things Were Different
“Sometimes in the middle of the night I can feel you again. But I just miss you and I just wish you were a better man” – Better Man
Taylor wrote this song for Little Big Town and this verse makes me ugly cry hits me hard every time. You know you’re better off apart, but a part of you clings to the hope that things could have worked out.
8. When You Just Click With Someone
“All I know is we said hello, and your eyes look like coming home” – Everything Has Changed
Sometimes you meet someone and just click instantly. You’re not sure why, but you feel comfortable with them from the start and it just feels right.
9. When You Miss Them But Still Want Them To Be Happy
“And I hope the sun shines and it’s a beautiful day and something reminds you you wish you had stayed” – Last Kiss
Things ended on good terms and you genuinely want them to be happy, but a small part of you still hopes they miss you. You’re not selfish, you’re human.
10. When You’re All In
“And I don’t know how it gets better than this. You take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless” – Fearless
You’re happy in your relationship and can’t imagine it getting any better! Your S.O. challenges you to be the best version of yourself and you do the same for them.
No matter what your current love situation is, there’s a Taylor Swift song for everything. From crushing hard to crushing heartbreak, she knows how to put every little feeling you’ve ever had into words. And we love her for it. Long live Taylor Swift.
