On March 16, Taylor Swift called out her fans and friends for not social distancing, and instead going to brunch and having dinner parties. When Taylor Swift says something, Swifties should listen. That being said, you can enjoy some underrated Taylor Swift music during this time and use some of her lyrics to express yourself in captions, tweets, DMs, texts, etc.
You can listen to the playlist in its entirety here on Spotify. I’ve highlighted specific 22 lyrics that I think are relatable captions during this period and 22 lyrics that could be relatable text messages.

I’d love to see these lyrics being used to inspire your Instagram captions. You might want to add a disclaimer in your caption to disclose how old the picture is, so people don’t get mad at you in the comments for not social distancing. Let me know what replies you get to these texts…LOL. I hope you’re staying home and staying safe!
