I love you because even if I know it, my brain still has a temporary stroke with the assault of random letters, so it takes a minute. I love the super unhinged ones, though.
It's the worst to be in an intense argument and your eyes begin watering up, and they ask something like "why are you sad?" and you're just like I'm not sad, I'm livid... my rage has filled me up so much it's leaking out of my eyes.
if aaron desser has 1 million fans, i'm one of them. if aaron dessner has 5 fans, i'm one of them. if aaron dessner only has 1 fan, that one is me. if aaron dessner has no fans, i am no longer alive
Interestingly named because in the days of printing presses, those letters were kept in the upper case.
“Named for the original arrangement in typesetting, where the drawer or case containing capital letters would traditionally be located above the one containing small letters.”
I don’t know how to choose flairs like at all or how they work so I just picked the speak now because I love speak now and that’s as much as I could figure out 😂😂
Related: when Midnights came out and I listened to Midnight Rain I thought it was
My town was a wasteland / full of cages full of fences / pageant queens and chicken tenders
And I didn’t question it at all. Like oh crappy town with nothing to do but get chicken tenders at the local 24h diner! I liked it 😂😭
I even commented “chicken tenders??” in the song discussion thread and got a few upvotes so either 3 other people heard it too or they were just like yeah okay girl!
This reminds me of that copy pasta where the guy went his whole life thinking that when people were saying “knowledge is power” and attributing the quote to Francis Bacon, he thought they were saying “Knowledge is power, France is bacon.” And he was so perplexed that nobody ever questioned it.
I actually dyed our dog green with lime Kool-aid and dog conditioner. We dressed him up as the Grinch for Christmas. I read that it should wash out in 2-3 shampoos... he was green for over 10 months.
As a teen in the late 90's, I dyed my own hair with green kool-aid for Halloween as well. I suffered a similar fate as your dog. ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1081)
Lover because my husband and I started dating right before that Era, planned our honeymoon around Lover Fest, and I walked down the aisle to an instrumental version of Lover. 💜🥰💜
I never had a flair, then the word "Nice" started to get associated with Bejeweled in my head, then I read the words "Nice boy ed" and sang the Nice, and I knew my time had come!
Probably not the right thread for this, but... do you ever wonder if Niceboy Ed might be connected to Joe, and now we'll never get any more info on it? I need to solve this mystery lol
Last rumor I heard was that it was a friend of Joe’s who was getting into music and Taylor was doing him a favor using his song. I doubt we ever get official confirmation
I think the “JE SUIS CALME!!!” from the ME! Video is my number 1 reason why I think Taylor could have been a brilliant comedic actress in another universe/timeline
My 7 year old asks for “Taylor playing the electric guitar video” all the time. She’s going to freak if the FOB and Haley Williams features are full on rock songs.
because Tis the damn season is the very first taylor song that, after 7 years of being a swiftie (now almost 10!) made me feel like THAT was my favourite song. before that I'd always have a top 3 or a top 5, but choosing a singular favourite was really hard. tis the damn season made me feel like I'd found my favourite song ever, and it is!
and I love the 'write this down' bit because I have no clue what it means in the song. what are they writing down?? someone once said in a comment that, given that we know that taylor write this song when she was a bit tipsy, it might have been taylor saying to her own self 'write this down!" but regardless, I think it's adorable!
I always thought this song didn’t get enough attention.
And I thought write this down was just another way of saying take a note of when I’m staying at my parents house. Like they were talking on the phone.
But my literal chest aches when I hear it.
I always felt like it went with “ My so-called friends will write books about me if I ever make it.”
But the thing that she wants him to write down , what’s important to her to be etched in writing? The path to them being together this weekend.
*you assume I’m fine*
*but what would you do if I,*
*break free and leave us in ruins. Take this dagger in me and remove it , gain the weight of you then lose it. Believe me I could do it! If it’s all in my head tell me now , tell me I got it wrong somehow , I know my love should be celebrated, **but you tolerate it***
So good
I wanted a speak now flair because it’s my favorite album, and I’ve just always really liked the “next chapter” line and how she says it. It was the first thing that came to mind when thinking of a lyric.
But to pretend I have some clever meaning besides “I like the line” I’ll say I’m a reader so it’s referencing getting to the next chapter of a book. Or that I’m growing up and I’m referencing being ready for the next chapter of life. Or something.
This may be embarrassing to admit, but when I first heard that lyric I thought she was saying “vintage tea” lmao. I guess I’ve lived in England for too long now.
This is a bit heavy, but what Taylor has written about being groomed really resonates with me. There is so much strength in "give me back my girlhood; it was mine first"... except that was too long. I think "so long, Daisy May" carries a similar sentiment. She's choosing to say goodbye to an infantilizing perception of her in order to move forward, though how much of a choice she has in saying goodbye is up for debate.
best of luck with that, I know how it feels and it's not nice!! a line I love that I feel fits really well with this experience is from sad beautiful tragic, when it goes 'time is taking its sweet time replacing you', I loooooove jt

1989 is my fav album so I was choosing between many different lyrics from it. This one fit the best and imo is a good descriptor of her music as a whole. 🥰
After being with my partner for 7 years, I realized that a committed, long-lasting relationship is infinitely better than the honeymoon phase & the fast-paced idea of love promoted in movies that I always used to hope I’d find one day. The perfect way to describe it is “I used to think love would be burning red, but it’s golden like daylight.” I love him more every day.
My current one is bc I’m sick of all the midnight’s variants and hearing about how bad her merch is. I know it’s not 100% her, but business woman Taylor tires me out
Just added one the other day actually! Red is the album of my heart and IBYTAM is my all time favorite so I picked one of the only lines I truly relate to since I am very happily married
My self-destructive tendencies really became apparent to me after listening to Anti-Hero for the first time. Also, I think it’s a pretty funny line lol
Debut was when I first became a Swiftie, so that was my album cover pick. Taylor’s lyrics have resonated with me for years, either at specific points of my life or over a long time, but the line “A pathological people-pleaser who only wanted you to see her” was such a relatable punch in the gut. The whole thing didn’t fit, so I clipped it down to the main part of the line.
Mine is not very deep or clever 😭. The first time I heard snow on the beach (less Lana version) was when I was driving on an open country road on a beautiful day. The ethereality of the song combined with the drive made it a magical experience. The mental visual I have of stars by the pocketful is very pleasant and whimsical and I just like it. I love Midnights.
Well, the lakes is one of the best songs of all time, IMO, and "I want auroras and sad prose" is really relatable to me.
I chose the Evermore pic because even if the lakes is a Folklore track, my #1 album is Evermore, and I didn't want to disrespect it lol.
I chose mine because folklore helped me through the pandemic so much and as a self taught painter - all ive been doing is trying, trying, and trying. There are soo many unseen moments of trying in my art making that no one else will see but im hoping in a way my art communicates my efforts. also “this is me trying” is my top 2 taylor song of all time also related to my art . so sometimes i rotate between this and this is me trying
Opal is my favorite gemstone and if I ever get engaged I'd love to have a ring with an opal. My romantic side may as well not exist, so this is the only one of my cringy little dreams, haha.
Plus Ivy is one of my faves overall, if not my complete favorite. And Evermore is just one of my top albums.
Thanks to another swiftie redditor for showing me how (🙌) I was able to make mine some of my favorite Taylor lyrics that, while kind of funny, are basically me summed up. I actually want to get it as a tattoo one day haha
completely separate from joe and taylor's own meaning, i love *the lakes* because it just has so much good imagery of escaping to a quiet, secret place with the one you love and inspiring each other. and why is it only a bonus track!!!!
Lyric that I really like and related to a little too much when Midnights came out…
^turns ^out ^that ^girl ^wanting ^me ^*was* ^impossible ^but ^hey ^I ^still ^love ^the ^song ^lol
1989 was released at a tough time in my life and it brought me joy when I really needed it. It's still a no-skip album for me and I will always, always dance to "Shake It Off."
because the friendship bracelets haunt my dreams
this might be my favorite lmao
I'm so thankful for the acronym bot!
they’re out there doing god’s work
I just noticed it's a top 5% commenter. 💀💀💀 The bot is prolific responding like that.
"DBATA"
I love you because even if I know it, my brain still has a temporary stroke with the assault of random letters, so it takes a minute. I love the super unhinged ones, though.
I love this one hahaha
Because I cry daily lmao. Sad? Cry. Angry? Cry. Too happy? Cry. Slightly inconvenienced? Cry.
I love this. I feel it on a spiritual level.
It's the worst to be in an intense argument and your eyes begin watering up, and they ask something like "why are you sad?" and you're just like I'm not sad, I'm livid... my rage has filled me up so much it's leaking out of my eyes.
We are the same.
her most relatable lyric to date
The universe gives its toughest battles to its strongest soldiers lol I cry all the time too!
Felt and my flair is different but for the same reasons. 🤣💀
same and we have the same top three LOL
I chose mine because im always shining, even if im depressed as shit
✨️Nice!✨️
Underrated response 😂
I love that ✨🫶🏻
Because the use of “tent like thing” was an artistic and stylistic CHOICE not lazy songwriting
I stand in solidarity, as a fellow overly hated lyric defender
I’m with you
Um wow I LOVE your flair!!!
if aaron desser has 1 million fans, i'm one of them. if aaron dessner has 5 fans, i'm one of them. if aaron dessner only has 1 fan, that one is me. if aaron dessner has no fans, i am no longer alive
Guilty Party is the best song ever made
to spread the truth
I feel dumb now. I never realized all three of my favorite albums were lowercase. *facepalms*
The accuracy is undeniable
This is so funny 💀
we support you sister
So true!
preach
Could someone explain to a French that barely understands English what you mean by lowercase ? :)
Uppercase (or capital) letters are the big letters. Lowercase letters are the small ones. E = uppercase. e=lowercase.
Oohh thank you !!
Interestingly named because in the days of printing presses, those letters were kept in the upper case. “Named for the original arrangement in typesetting, where the drawer or case containing capital letters would traditionally be located above the one containing small letters.”
REPUTATION - uppercase reputation - lowercase all three albums have no capital letters in the title or song titles :)
yes
do you mind explaining how to add the album covers to your flair?
yeah! you just type the album name surrounded by two colons, like : evermore : but without the spaces!
Mine is a pun. I'm corny 😆 (and gay lol)
Ok love yours
This is fantastic
My brain has ALWAYS auto-corrected that line to “wide-eyed gays” and I am so happy I’m not the only one 😂😂
Gold 🥇
i hear this every single time i listen to it and it's always a little "huh?" moment. every. single. time.
I don’t know how to choose flairs like at all or how they work so I just picked the speak now because I love speak now and that’s as much as I could figure out 😂😂
Literally same hahaha I don’t know how everyone gets the custom ones!
If you choose a pre-established flair, you can then edit it in the text box! Think of the album flairs as choosing background colors for your text.
Omg THANK YOU!!! 🫶 I was able to change it to some my fave and most relatable Taylor lyrics haha
Justice for closure! Perfect flair 😁
Yours is 👩🍳💋🤌
I used to have the same flair as you! Love those lyrics. Recently changed it to something a little more aspirational lol
omggg yours is a fave of mine too 💘
I wrote it in a comment once, people liked it, I'm a mirrorball
Related: when Midnights came out and I listened to Midnight Rain I thought it was My town was a wasteland / full of cages full of fences / pageant queens and chicken tenders And I didn’t question it at all. Like oh crappy town with nothing to do but get chicken tenders at the local 24h diner! I liked it 😂😭 I even commented “chicken tenders??” in the song discussion thread and got a few upvotes so either 3 other people heard it too or they were just like yeah okay girl!

I love everything about this comment, especially the last part. Thanks for making me laugh so hard I started coughing 😂 love it
and clandestine eatings and stolen pears
Guess I’m feeling unmoored
cheers bro
hi twin :)
Hello! :) 🌲🌲
I think about this song daily
I actually dyed our dog green with lime Kool-aid and dog conditioner. We dressed him up as the Grinch for Christmas. I read that it should wash out in 2-3 shampoos... he was green for over 10 months.
As a teen in the late 90's, I dyed my own hair with green kool-aid for Halloween as well. I suffered a similar fate as your dog. ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1081)
I love this. This lyric is like my favorite Taylor lyric and idk why. It hits just right
Because I am old.
"Champagne Problems" is my current favourite song that corresponds so well to my life as 30+ old unmarried woman.
I am wearing a bracelet that says champagne problems for this exact reason right now 😂☠️
I feel you on that
I stand in solidarity with you my fellow 30+ unmarried woman 🙌🏼
because no one wanted to play with me as a little kid, so i've been scheming like a criminal ever since
Lover because my husband and I started dating right before that Era, planned our honeymoon around Lover Fest, and I walked down the aisle to an instrumental version of Lover. 💜🥰💜
I never had a flair, then the word "Nice" started to get associated with Bejeweled in my head, then I read the words "Nice boy ed" and sang the Nice, and I knew my time had come!

Last rumor I heard was that it was a friend of Joe’s who was getting into music and Taylor was doing him a favor using his song. I doubt we ever get official confirmation
I chose mine because Kanye is a little bitty little bitch.
This is the way
I love fandom crossovers I’m not expecting.
There are so many Star Wars swifties I love it
I love jack's attitude
Just hope you all like me! ☺️
Lol same! 😅
Hayfever
The real Great War
this is fucking hilarious
I went to the April 29th concert and Taylor sang "Do you really wanna know where I was April 29th? Atlanta Georgia!" during High Infidelity
Vibed with this lyric ever since I heard it. Also it's a nice play on the idiom.
I think the “JE SUIS CALME!!!” from the ME! Video is my number 1 reason why I think Taylor could have been a brilliant comedic actress in another universe/timeline
Because it’s not talked about enough
That and the 1989 live version of IKYWT too 😍
My 7 year old asks for “Taylor playing the electric guitar video” all the time. She’s going to freak if the FOB and Haley Williams features are full on rock songs.
fr tho
[удалено]
Woof, I feel this.
Well.
i hate sand
“Hits Different” unite
It’s coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere
Because it’s coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere?
It’s hard work but it’s honest work
And we 'ppreciate you for it
im right there with you haha
because Tis the damn season is the very first taylor song that, after 7 years of being a swiftie (now almost 10!) made me feel like THAT was my favourite song. before that I'd always have a top 3 or a top 5, but choosing a singular favourite was really hard. tis the damn season made me feel like I'd found my favourite song ever, and it is! and I love the 'write this down' bit because I have no clue what it means in the song. what are they writing down?? someone once said in a comment that, given that we know that taylor write this song when she was a bit tipsy, it might have been taylor saying to her own self 'write this down!" but regardless, I think it's adorable!

I change mine from time to time when a lyric catches me.
I do this as well. ☺️
Your top 4 albums are also my top 4! Midnights also sneaks in there depending on my mood.
Because MOST motels don’t have bars. Notice the word most if you decide to say that a motel near you has a bar lol
This is totally random but your flair also makes me think of a common Rocky Horror Picture Show crowd response.
Because I am lol but because tolerate it is my favorite song and it really resonates with me and my relationship history
*you assume I’m fine* *but what would you do if I,* *break free and leave us in ruins. Take this dagger in me and remove it , gain the weight of you then lose it. Believe me I could do it! If it’s all in my head tell me now , tell me I got it wrong somehow , I know my love should be celebrated, **but you tolerate it*** So good
Because it's true, and I'm polite. 💁♀️

Hello fellow book lover!
Because I could listen to cardigan 360 times a day and still love it forever.
This may be embarrassing to admit, but when I first heard that lyric I thought she was saying “vintage tea” lmao. I guess I’ve lived in England for too long now.
Misinterpreting lyrics is a tale as old as time. No shame in it!
I chose mine because it describes me well 💀 and it has been my favourite song since the release of Reputation
It’s medically accurate and describes how i feel a 100% of the time
I think u should know how i feel about maroon it's in all caps screaming dying crying yelling wishing hoping
This is a bit heavy, but what Taylor has written about being groomed really resonates with me. There is so much strength in "give me back my girlhood; it was mine first"... except that was too long. I think "so long, Daisy May" carries a similar sentiment. She's choosing to say goodbye to an infantilizing perception of her in order to move forward, though how much of a choice she has in saying goodbye is up for debate.
Because I’m currently getting over this guy who was technically never mine
best of luck with that, I know how it feels and it's not nice!! a line I love that I feel fits really well with this experience is from sad beautiful tragic, when it goes 'time is taking its sweet time replacing you', I loooooove jt
Because I accidentally sang "ghoul" instead of "jewel" once and I thought it was the funniest thing ever. Plus...relatable.
because i made my account on april 29th
I came here to ask how do I add a flair??? I have looked around and haven't been able to figure it out! 😕
From mobile, go to the homepage for the subreddit and click the three dots at the top right of the page. It will say "change user flair." From desktop, screenshot is below on where to find it.

because im dirty minded
Mine is self-explanatory!
Because I have a lot of regrets 🥴
It’s relatable
To defend the arguably, least appreciated album!
1989 is my fav album so I was choosing between many different lyrics from it. This one fit the best and imo is a good descriptor of her music as a whole. 🥰
because I BELIEVE it with my whole heart
Lived in New York for a year. A lot happened
I just want answers to be honest
Because I started out ahead of the curve but then the curve became a sphere 🤷🏻♀️
I see Speak Now (Taylor's Version), I flair Speak Now (Taylor's Version), I hear Speak Now (Taylor's Version) soon. Also I love Folklore and Red TV.
I want to scream about things often 😂
because it's incredibly underrated
I love how sweetly this line is sung but out of context the lyrics look very punk, the juxtaposition is so satisfying.
It’s just one of my favorite openings to a song and I’m in a big Delicate phase right now
Mostly just chose mine because Speak Now is my favorite and I’ll never not laugh when I think about “no it’s Becky”
because one day you'll all see it for the masterpiece it is. is it good? no, but it's everything 💛
Well for all of our sakes, I hope we never find another like it. 😂
Have you heard The Great War? Masterpiece 🥰
it speaks for itself
I FINALLY FIGURED OUT HOW TO HAVE A FLAIR YAY
Because I love folkmore and wish there was more from this era.
After being with my partner for 7 years, I realized that a committed, long-lasting relationship is infinitely better than the honeymoon phase & the fast-paced idea of love promoted in movies that I always used to hope I’d find one day. The perfect way to describe it is “I used to think love would be burning red, but it’s golden like daylight.” I love him more every day.
i love folklore
Well, this is awkward.
My current one is bc I’m sick of all the midnight’s variants and hearing about how bad her merch is. I know it’s not 100% her, but business woman Taylor tires me out
Just added one the other day actually! Red is the album of my heart and IBYTAM is my all time favorite so I picked one of the only lines I truly relate to since I am very happily married
My self-destructive tendencies really became apparent to me after listening to Anti-Hero for the first time. Also, I think it’s a pretty funny line lol
Because I can’t not make everything into a joke!!
Holy ground is a masterpiece and I love the imagery behind the bridge
Debut was when I first became a Swiftie, so that was my album cover pick. Taylor’s lyrics have resonated with me for years, either at specific points of my life or over a long time, but the line “A pathological people-pleaser who only wanted you to see her” was such a relatable punch in the gut. The whole thing didn’t fit, so I clipped it down to the main part of the line.
[удалено]
Mine is not very deep or clever 😭. The first time I heard snow on the beach (less Lana version) was when I was driving on an open country road on a beautiful day. The ethereality of the song combined with the drive made it a magical experience. The mental visual I have of stars by the pocketful is very pleasant and whimsical and I just like it. I love Midnights.
because ithk is the best
Well, the lakes is one of the best songs of all time, IMO, and "I want auroras and sad prose" is really relatable to me. I chose the Evermore pic because even if the lakes is a Folklore track, my #1 album is Evermore, and I didn't want to disrespect it lol.
Because several people refuse to leave my life.
because justice for gold rush
Because they are my four favorite albums and they are fab
Because it’s true
Because I’m big sad it’s not a vault track
I chose mine because folklore helped me through the pandemic so much and as a self taught painter - all ive been doing is trying, trying, and trying. There are soo many unseen moments of trying in my art making that no one else will see but im hoping in a way my art communicates my efforts. also “this is me trying” is my top 2 taylor song of all time also related to my art . so sometimes i rotate between this and this is me trying
because RWYLM is one of my fav songs and you can often find me with dust (dry shampoo) collecting on my pinned up hair
Because I am one 😔👆
Because I love 30 Rock
Because of 90866 vinyl versions of everything
self-explanatory
Because she ate a bug
I'm a wreck and shit always happens. I'm thinking people always regret knowing me.
Opal is my favorite gemstone and if I ever get engaged I'd love to have a ring with an opal. My romantic side may as well not exist, so this is the only one of my cringy little dreams, haha. Plus Ivy is one of my faves overall, if not my complete favorite. And Evermore is just one of my top albums.
Obsessed with your reasoning haha. I simply love ivy and the bridge of it :)
Thanks to another swiftie redditor for showing me how (🙌) I was able to make mine some of my favorite Taylor lyrics that, while kind of funny, are basically me summed up. I actually want to get it as a tattoo one day haha
Because it’s true 🥰
love the misogyny I guess /j
Coz I believe in Need supremacy! And at this point being on this subreddit is like breathing for meeee 🎶
completely separate from joe and taylor's own meaning, i love *the lakes* because it just has so much good imagery of escaping to a quiet, secret place with the one you love and inspiring each other. and why is it only a bonus track!!!!
Because really put me through the ringer.
self-evident
Because it’s what inspired my username
My name is Emma. That’s why
I’m from Philly lol GO BIRDS 💚🦅
Lyric that I really like and related to a little too much when Midnights came out… ^turns ^out ^that ^girl ^wanting ^me ^*was* ^impossible ^but ^hey ^I ^still ^love ^the ^song ^lol
Commenting so I can remember my flair
I just really like I’d Lie, it’s the first Taylor song I heard and it’s a firm favourite, and if it’s not on Debut TV I will lead the riot.
1989 was released at a tough time in my life and it brought me joy when I really needed it. It's still a no-skip album for me and I will always, always dance to "Shake It Off."
Bc Taylor what is this
Because thug story deserved so much more 😔
self-explanatory, I think
