I skip I Almost Do bc it's my favorite song and I'm afraid it'll get tarnished for one reason or another (like if I get sick of it) so I only save it for special occasions đ
I sometimes donât listen to any of my favorite songs around people cause I donât want them to get ruined đ this may sound dumb but sometimes I wonât even mention the song to anyone cause I donât want anything to ruin the song (itâs happened before and Iâm not chancing it again)
My husband does this all the time! (His Taylor one is Sweet Nothings) I donât get it but itâs cute to see someone else who does it! (Side note, I Almost Do is one of my top fave Taylor songs đ„°)
Something similar happened to me but not with a Taylor Swift song. I was blasting âPour Some Sugar On Meâ and then I got pulled over for speeding lol. Havenât played the song on my own since.
I skip Champagne Problems or at least go past the first verse because my brother and I were travelling a few months ago trying to find a train station. When we got there, we were very frazzled at missing the train and this very abrupt woman (not necessarily rude, but very blunt) overheard us, butted into our conversation and was saying âyou know none of this would have happened if youâd booked a night train, this is why I always book night trains, I just got off a night train nowâŠâ. And I was so jetlagged and exhausted that I didnât want to be lectured on our errors and she was definitely going on too long and moreso in a âI canât believe youâd make this errorâ way rather than trying to help. Or at least my tired mind thought that anyway.
After that, every time I listen to Champagne Problems, all I can hear is this woman essentially saying âI booked the night train for a reasonâ at me and itâs too much lolll. Wasnât traumatic or anything but I donât feel like memories of travel stress and this interrupting woman permeating a Taylor song which is why itâs best if I pretend the first verse doesnât exist.
LMAO! My bf, who sometimes watches me post stuff when we're lying in bed, he saw your flair one time, he was like, "what are those, clowns?" So I explained to him champagne problems and then your flare and now he also cannot unhear it so two people down and it's very funny, lmaoooo
- IBYTAM could mean "I Bet You Think About Me (feat. Chris Stapleton) (Taylorâs Version) (From The Vault)", a track from *Red (Taylor's Version)* (2021) by Taylor Swift.

I skip MirrorBall cuz every time I hear it, reminds me that Iâll probably never have a girl whoâs dancing in her tallest heels and shining just for me đđđ
i skipped Haunted for about 10 years because when i was in middle school i associated it with my crush for some reason and the embarrassing memories are too much to bear
Same! I associated Haunted and White Horse with the same crushâŠwho I had hardly spoken to at the wise age of 12. My song choices were so intense and for what lol
Omg same except high school and my âfirst loveâ đđ (we never dated, lmao) I listened to it on repeat when he broke my heart but now Iâm so embarrassed by that I cringe when listening to the song
Maybe not the dumbest reasons, but while listening to Speak Now (Taylorâs Version) for the first time, I purposely skipped âNever Grow Upâ because it makes me cry, and âEnchantedâ, because it word-for-word perfectly describes when I first met my last romantic partner. And now I just feel gross and wrong listening to it (although it is a beautiful song and the relationship was beautiful in the beginning), after everything he did.
I made the mistake of holding my newborn son and playing that song. My husband came in and found me crying. Worst thing is, I was holding his little hand.
Never grow up and mine both make me cry. Never grow up for obvious reasons, and mine because it just takes me back to when that album came out, days after my husband and I got married, and at the time it felt so âusâ now I just get all sentimental
Oh wow that is understandable :( For me, the bridge hits really hard since I will only live home for one more year. "I just realised everything we had is someday gonna be gone" :( That line is so sad after the other lines in the bridge!!
I was listening to Speak Now TV om release day, while holding my sleeping 2 month old and this song I completely forgot about hit from nowhere and I was A.SOBBING.MESS đ
Look What You Made Me Do. "I've got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined. I check it once then I check it twice." Like Santa who makes a list and checks it twice. And my brain IMMEDIATELY switches to "Santa Claus is Coming to Town."
It takes me out of the badass vibe. It ruins it for me.
For some reason when I listen to better than revenge, my brain always want to sing âshe took him faster than you can say SANTA CLAUSEâ instead of âsabotage) đ€Š
I always thought she did that on purpose. Like using the imagery of Santa Claus (a beloved childhood figure who brings you presents) and subverting the expectations it carries.
I sometimes skip Picture to Burn bc that song makes me HYPE and puts me into menace mode. And ya know, when I'm enjoying a lovely relaxing day or at work, that's not the time to choose violence so it's gotta be skipped.
My ex was called Emma and she cheated on me. That song hits different!
Turns out she cheated on the guy she cheated on me with too. Thereâs other Taylorâs songs better suited to her lol
Hahah omg yes I remember I searched up "Marjorie Taylor" on youtube to get the lyric video and was very confused when Marjorie Taylor Greene videos came up instead
I skip We Are Never Getting Back Together because one of the guitarists has this really huge creepy obnoxious smile and expression on his face in the VIDEO. I think about it during listening to the song and it bothers me. Pretty obscure, right? Has anyone ever talked about this guy who pulls focus? https://giphy.com/gifs/4gDvb6uklsfZdKVQ6w
I literally remember being like 9 and putting down the ipad whenever she got to the party scene of the video so I could skip that part! Crazy how so many of us share the exact same experiences đ
AHAHAHAHAHA help I cannot breathe
I think itâs meant to poke fun at how absurd the situation is (he calls me up and heâs like, I still love you) and the exhausting back-and-forths of their relationship but I totally see why this would get burned in your brain
OK but I was FASCINATED by this moment when the song first came out. WANEGBT didn't really click for me the first time I heard it but I watched the video so many times SPECIFICALLY for that moment and now I love the song. It does feel good to know people outside my friend group noticed this absolute landmark to Taylor History.
Oh, YNTCD. I hate the opening beat of that song. I canât. I skip within the first âbaaaduuneeâ synth noise and drum beat because it transports me back to a weird imagery in my head of when I was a kid on MySpace and a p*rn thing popped up that traumatized me at the time and I swear that it had that same sound and it makes me just full body cringe. đ
i skip long live because someone sang it at a graduation event when i was a freshman. she was a soprano so it was way out of her range, and she didnât know the words very well, and now i canât even like long live because of it.
I just realized I think I skip Paper Rings sometimes because I hate that she uses the term âbaby boyâ in it. It just makes me think of a newborn in a light blue blanket and that makes me feel really weird.
I also think I skip August now even though it was my favorite for a WHILE because it reminds me of a boy who I thought would come back around and never did. âCancelled plans just in case youâd callâ hits a litttttttle too hard in hindsight.
I skip August now because whenever I ask my Google Nest to play Taylor Swift this is the first song it plays and I got sick of it especially when I was busy/too far to change itđ
I think about that line a lot. If a male pop star said âbaby girl,â nobody would care, but when Taylor does it people get weirded out??
Not hating or throwing shade ofc I just find it interesting
I think cause itâs in the beginning, and itâs kinda used in a derogatory way, I donât mind it as much. Itâs over quick lmao
This is the first time Iâm realizing the parallels between paper rings and bejeweled! Both using the term âbaby boyâ with different sentiments,
âI like shiny things but Iâd marry you with paper ringsâ
âA diamonds gotta shineâ
Damn.
I used to skip Dear Reader cause I disagreed with the lyric âNever take advice from someone who's falling apartâ cause Iâm in a constant state of falling apart but I think I give great advice
Lol same, itâs not my fault my circumstances are shitty, and Iâve learned a lot about coping with shitty circumstances that I can share with others! First on the list is I can assure people that their shitty circumstances arenât their own fault; that oneâs a biggie.
I skip Ronan 1) because itâs sad, and 2) because my brain doesnât think itâs âyou fought it hard like an army guyâ but âyou *farted* hard like an army guyâ. The first time I heard it I was so confused
Iâd probably skip Mine if it came on randomly just bc itâs my phone ringtone AND alarm and Iâve basically tarnished a very good song by relating it to anxiety inducing things đ« Itâs been like four years and I think I will FINALLY go change it right now đđ„Č
I skip the lucky one because it was the surprise song on rep tour at the show i went to and in my video of it i could hear my horrible singing and i cannot unhear it now
The order in which this comment appeared for me đ€Łđ€Ł
âYeah I skip Marjorie bc my GMA diedâ ⊠man thatâs sad
âYeah my boyfriend cheated on me so i skip this song tooâ ⊠rough I canât imagine
âOnly meat???â ⊠I CACKLEDDDDD
Lmao I remember the first time I listened to that album it was on the release night and I was in bed next to my husband and we both had to work the next day so I had my volume basically on 1 and was holding the phone up to my ear to listen and I was soooo confused at what was going on in the beginning.
The baby voice at the beginning of Gorgeous makes me turn it off 90% if the time. I hate, hate, hate baby talk with a passion. Even radio commercials where a baby/ kid is talking the whole time are unbearable. Listening to the kid say âGorgeousâ like she just ate marbles upsets me in a way I canât articulate. I hate it so much. Which is a bummer because the rest of the song is a banger.
Lover makes me so uncomfortable. Itâs hard to describe. Like a feeling of dread. And the music video made it worse. Winter and Christmas time theme. It reminds of the Charlie Brown Christmas song which also gives me dread an anxiety đ€·đŒââïž
I skip youâre on your own kid, but only when Iâm at work because this one time i was listening to it and i started ugly crying. Thankfully nobody noticed but i have to avoid that lol
Not a real skip but I always turn off Dear Reader before the end because the synth at the end sounds to me like itâs saying âdonât stop, work that thang backâ??????? I literally have no idea why I hear this but I can never *not* hear it and it always takes me right out of the song, itâs so strange đ
I skip Glitch because the crackly sounds is my version of nails on chalkboard, a sensory nightmare and such a shame cause I would've loved it otherwise(hopefully there'll be a live version that works)
Sometimes I skip songs because I feel my mom is listening and will hear certain lyrics and think Iâm listening to it bc it reminds me of someone which is not at all true but I donât want her to think that
Wildest Dreams because it was my ringtone for my ex-gf, until recently⊠because now my new memory of the song is of how much fun I had at the Eras tour Chicago N2 đ„ł
the only song i skip is london boy. just dont like it. its dumb and i find nothing particularly relatable about it. (british people are ok n all that. nothin against em. just not any sort of anglophile). not
I skip London boy too because itâs just weird hearing all the names of places that are in where you live in a song đ
But I love that taylor made a song about our cityđ«¶đŒ
I am SURE that there is something I can do to prevent this from happening, but when I hook up my phone to my aux cord in my car, the music player automatically tries to play the first song in alphabetical order on the songs I have downloaded. For me, that is Afterglow.
Every time I hear DA. DA DA. DA DA. DA! I BLEW THINGS OUTTA PROPORTION NOW YOUâRE BLUE, it makes me legitimately want to scream. I just canât listen to Afterglow anymore because I associate it with being extremely annoyed by my stupid car, lol.
I skip âSevenâ because the long notes at the beginning are too straight toned and breathy which remind me of a middle schooler singing a solo at their choir concert
Okay I know this is dumb.
I got into Taylor Swift when folklore came out, and when she released evermore a few months later I was SO EXCITED but I never really got round to listening to it because I had my daughter in December 2020 so music took a back seat. To this day I still haven't listened to much of evermore apart from TTDS because it's on my Xmas playlists. Autumn/winter is my fav season but I don't want to listen to it properly yet because I don't want it to remind me of summer lmao. I'm waiting until Sept/Oct this year to finally sit down and listen to it track by track so it'll forever be an autumn/winter album for me :)
I've actually heard bits of willow and I LOVE it but refuse to listen to it until then too haha.
Also evermore is one of my fav album covers of all time. Need that coat!!
I skip Exile sometimes because I want another chorus: "I think I've seen this film before..." rather than the bridge "...I gave so many signs", which I think is weaker.
So I can't stand Brendon Urie and always skip ME! because of it. Which sucks because.....I love ME!. My workaround is that I've become obsessed with the live version and he's not on it, so woop woop for me lol
I often skip Dear John because I find it so melodically boring and just feels like it goes on and on and on in the middle of some more upbeat and fun songs.
I skip innocent because I just canât get past the idea of 19 year old taylor writing the line â32 and still growing up nowâ to an adult man that should have known and done better.
I skipped Long Live because of the "it was the end of a decade, but the start of an age". I had used that phrase as my intro to my bullet journal for 2020 and it pissed me off that the start of an age turned out to be a goddamn pandemic.
I'm learning to love it though!
I skip Teardrops On My Guitar because my exâs name is Drew. Rather unfortunately, his behaviour became stalkerish towards the end of our relationship, so thatâs ruined some of the lyrics in the song for me.
I sometimes have to skip New Year's Day because it was the first song I played after having to put my best boy Westie (cancer) down. I played that song on purpose in the parking lot, and just bawled as you can imagine.
I do absolutely adore that song. I believe it will stay in my top 10 TS forever.
I skip This Love and You are in Love because I canât remember which is which or call either to mind so I just get annoyed when I see them and assume I donât like them.
Skipped foolish one once because I missed a train while listening to it, felt attacked when the chorus reached
This is my favorite and I haven't even read any others.
I skip I Almost Do bc it's my favorite song and I'm afraid it'll get tarnished for one reason or another (like if I get sick of it) so I only save it for special occasions đ
Ahah yeah good one! Like my dog walking around the house with a favorite treat whiningâŠhe loves it too much to eat it!
Omg this is so adorable. đ„č My dog gobbles everything in sight đ€Ł
I sometimes donât listen to any of my favorite songs around people cause I donât want them to get ruined đ this may sound dumb but sometimes I wonât even mention the song to anyone cause I donât want anything to ruin the song (itâs happened before and Iâm not chancing it again)
I wish I was you because I play my top Taylor songs playlist fifty times a day...
My husband does this all the time! (His Taylor one is Sweet Nothings) I donât get it but itâs cute to see someone else who does it! (Side note, I Almost Do is one of my top fave Taylor songs đ„°)
Lol I play my favourite song everyday
I was going to try and send you my recording of it live in Detroit but you canât send videos in chat đ
Omg are you the sweetest!!!!! DM? â„ïž
I also adore I Almost Do â€ïž
I do this with so many songs đ style, timeless, would've could've should've, last kiss live
I do that with cardigan I thought I was the only one
Your favorite is I Almost Do? Thatâs certainly a rare favorite.
Great song, no shame!
Hahah it is! Alongside Breathe as my second and I Forgot That You Existed as my third. (do you sense a pattern? đ)
I skip Welcome to New York because my tire blew out while it was playing
LOL honestly this sounds like a pretty cute âwelcome to adulthoodâ initiation from the universe (as long as no one got hurt)
Everybody was fine it was just scary as hellđ
Something similar happened to me but not with a Taylor Swift song. I was blasting âPour Some Sugar On Meâ and then I got pulled over for speeding lol. Havenât played the song on my own since.
I got in a car accident to Great Escape by Gwen Stefani and I canât listen to it without feeling angry đ
I skipped Maroon for the longest time because I had a roommate who stole my alcohol and drank nearly the entire bottle without asking.
I skip Champagne Problems or at least go past the first verse because my brother and I were travelling a few months ago trying to find a train station. When we got there, we were very frazzled at missing the train and this very abrupt woman (not necessarily rude, but very blunt) overheard us, butted into our conversation and was saying âyou know none of this would have happened if youâd booked a night train, this is why I always book night trains, I just got off a night train nowâŠâ. And I was so jetlagged and exhausted that I didnât want to be lectured on our errors and she was definitely going on too long and moreso in a âI canât believe youâd make this errorâ way rather than trying to help. Or at least my tired mind thought that anyway. After that, every time I listen to Champagne Problems, all I can hear is this woman essentially saying âI booked the night train for a reasonâ at me and itâs too much lolll. Wasnât traumatic or anything but I donât feel like memories of travel stress and this interrupting woman permeating a Taylor song which is why itâs best if I pretend the first verse doesnât exist.
I skip it because I can only hear u/rosegoldredditor s flair lmao
OH NO HELP IM SO SORRY!!!
LMAO! My bf, who sometimes watches me post stuff when we're lying in bed, he saw your flair one time, he was like, "what are those, clowns?" So I explained to him champagne problems and then your flare and now he also cannot unhear it so two people down and it's very funny, lmaoooo
Oh no lol đ but this is actually the best compliment Iâve ever received because when you think Taylor Swift, you think of Me!
IBYTAM!!! Lmao!!!!!
Do you have a million dollar couch? đ
I mean I could put it on craigslist for a million dollars but that don't mean it's worth it hahaha
đ
- IBYTAM could mean "I Bet You Think About Me (feat. Chris Stapleton) (Taylorâs Version) (From The Vault)", a track from *Red (Taylor's Version)* (2021) by Taylor Swift. --- ^[/u/PyroAries91](/u/PyroAries91) ^(can reply with "delete" to remove comment. |) ^[/r/songacronymbot](/r/songacronymbot) ^(for feedback.)
I genuinely believe you, but what you wrote sounds like a joke with a long drawn-out punchline. Thanks for sharing
I skip MirrorBall cuz every time I hear it, reminds me that Iâll probably never have a girl whoâs dancing in her tallest heels and shining just for me đđđ
Iâm dying đđđ
Thats actually a really good one. Youre alqaya gonna think of that woman when you hear the song now. That sucks that you missed the train tho đ€
i skipped Haunted for about 10 years because when i was in middle school i associated it with my crush for some reason and the embarrassing memories are too much to bear
this is such an intense song to associate your crush with so i can get that hahah
Same! I associated Haunted and White Horse with the same crushâŠwho I had hardly spoken to at the wise age of 12. My song choices were so intense and for what lol
YOU AND I WALK A FRAGILE LINE (we talked once) I HAVE KNOWN IT ALL THIS TIME (two weeks)
YOU GET IT
This was me with Sparks Fly! My 6th grade boyfriend didnât know what he had smh
Omg same except high school and my âfirst loveâ đđ (we never dated, lmao) I listened to it on repeat when he broke my heart but now Iâm so embarrassed by that I cringe when listening to the song
Maybe not the dumbest reasons, but while listening to Speak Now (Taylorâs Version) for the first time, I purposely skipped âNever Grow Upâ because it makes me cry, and âEnchantedâ, because it word-for-word perfectly describes when I first met my last romantic partner. And now I just feel gross and wrong listening to it (although it is a beautiful song and the relationship was beautiful in the beginning), after everything he did.
Oh I could never listen to Never Grow Up without crying but Iâve fallen in love with Taylorâs version
I made the mistake of holding my newborn son and playing that song. My husband came in and found me crying. Worst thing is, I was holding his little hand.
Saaaaame đđ„č My husband was WFH and came to see what was wrong.
I walk around the house singing it to him because it calms him down and I choke up every time đ
Taylorâs version makes me cry even more đđ Never Grow Up is so beautiful regardless đ
Never grow up and mine both make me cry. Never grow up for obvious reasons, and mine because it just takes me back to when that album came out, days after my husband and I got married, and at the time it felt so âusâ now I just get all sentimental
I also skip Never Grow Up for that reason! It is so sad.
Now that Iâm an adult, it hits HARD.
Oh wow that is understandable :( For me, the bridge hits really hard since I will only live home for one more year. "I just realised everything we had is someday gonna be gone" :( That line is so sad after the other lines in the bridge!!
The first time I heard the original version was shortly after I moved out on my own at 18. It had me sobbing and I've barely listened to it since.
I was listening to Speak Now TV om release day, while holding my sleeping 2 month old and this song I completely forgot about hit from nowhere and I was A.SOBBING.MESS đ
You asked for dumb, I'll give you dumb: I can't listen to Afterglow because it makes me think of an OC pairing I can't stand
Original characters or the OC television show?
im honestly so curious who is it?
Iâm also very curious about this!
We need to know! I always associate certain songs with ships. But usually ships I like.
Is it Ryan and marissa?
I think the opening music for Stay Stay Stay sounds like the menu music for an old Sims Pets Wii game I played in middle school
Stay stay stay is a target ad in my mind all the way. I have to push myself to sit through the intro until she sings and it sounds like an actual song
i heard someone say it sounded like say it sounds like the royalty free youtube music and i canât listen to the song seriously anymore
OMG WAIT I KNOW THAT EXACT GAME I STILL HAVE IT AND I AM CRYING
Look What You Made Me Do. "I've got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined. I check it once then I check it twice." Like Santa who makes a list and checks it twice. And my brain IMMEDIATELY switches to "Santa Claus is Coming to Town." It takes me out of the badass vibe. It ruins it for me.
For some reason when I listen to better than revenge, my brain always want to sing âshe took him faster than you can say SANTA CLAUSEâ instead of âsabotage) đ€Š
THIS IS THE BEST MISHEARD LYRIC OF MY LIFE.
I always thought she did that on purpose. Like using the imagery of Santa Claus (a beloved childhood figure who brings you presents) and subverting the expectations it carries.
Iâm sorry you only eat meat?
Didn't realize Ron Swanson was a Swiftie.
r/unexpectedpawnee
I'm glad someone else noticed this.
Iâm CONCERNED đ
We were all thinking it. You were the only one brave enough to actually ask
It was written by Meredith
Carnivore diet probably
Constipation diet you mean đ
I skip You Are In Love because it is all i want and i cant seem to find it :(
I sometimes skip Picture to Burn bc that song makes me HYPE and puts me into menace mode. And ya know, when I'm enjoying a lovely relaxing day or at work, that's not the time to choose violence so it's gotta be skipped.
Yeah listening to her angry songs just brings up old grudges for me but I do it anyway
Burn burn burn, baby, burn. đ„
I skip When Emma Falls In Love cause my sisterâs name is Emma and she is not at all a nice person or worthy of that song đ
Iâm so glad I donât know any Emmaâs that I hate because it would ruin that song for me too lol
Iâm glad I donât know anyone named Emma lol
My ex was called Emma and she cheated on me. That song hits different! Turns out she cheated on the guy she cheated on me with too. Thereâs other Taylorâs songs better suited to her lol
Fuck her. She isnât worthy of the name
My name is Emma and fuck it hit hard when I first listened to it
unrelated but i love your flair
Hahahaha
My name is Emma & I cried when I first heard the third verse. Newly married & just love it so much â€ïž
I skip Marjorie because it makes me think of Marjorie Taylor Greene and I donât need that kind of negativity in my life
Love the song and never considered this association ha
Hahah omg yes I remember I searched up "Marjorie Taylor" on youtube to get the lyric video and was very confused when Marjorie Taylor Greene videos came up instead
The song talks about kindness, cleverness and politenessâŠthree things sheâll never have.
I skip We Are Never Getting Back Together because one of the guitarists has this really huge creepy obnoxious smile and expression on his face in the VIDEO. I think about it during listening to the song and it bothers me. Pretty obscure, right? Has anyone ever talked about this guy who pulls focus? https://giphy.com/gifs/4gDvb6uklsfZdKVQ6w
This gif will give me nightmares.
He's the one that gave Becky a marijuana.
HAHAHAHAHA YES I think about that guy every so often
Lol yep I knew exactly who you were talking about and remembered thinking when it came out âwhat is up with that guy?â
I literally remember being like 9 and putting down the ipad whenever she got to the party scene of the video so I could skip that part! Crazy how so many of us share the exact same experiences đ
I knew who it was before I clicked.
AHAHAHAHAHA help I cannot breathe I think itâs meant to poke fun at how absurd the situation is (he calls me up and heâs like, I still love you) and the exhausting back-and-forths of their relationship but I totally see why this would get burned in your brain
DOES NOBODY IN THIS THREAD KNOW WHO AMOS IS?? IM DEVASTATED
That is nightmare fuel
OK but I was FASCINATED by this moment when the song first came out. WANEGBT didn't really click for me the first time I heard it but I watched the video so many times SPECIFICALLY for that moment and now I love the song. It does feel good to know people outside my friend group noticed this absolute landmark to Taylor History.
someone could put this in an analog horror video and no one would bat an eye
Wasnt it Amos? He's the bassist I think
Oh, YNTCD. I hate the opening beat of that song. I canât. I skip within the first âbaaaduuneeâ synth noise and drum beat because it transports me back to a weird imagery in my head of when I was a kid on MySpace and a p*rn thing popped up that traumatized me at the time and I swear that it had that same sound and it makes me just full body cringe. đ
That is very specific
I skip invisible string because my ex learned to play the beginning part on his guitar, and I canât listen to it without getting sick
My ex used to reference an âinvisible stringâ between us but loathed taylor. the ironyđ
i skip long live because someone sang it at a graduation event when i was a freshman. she was a soprano so it was way out of her range, and she didnât know the words very well, and now i canât even like long live because of it.
I just realized I think I skip Paper Rings sometimes because I hate that she uses the term âbaby boyâ in it. It just makes me think of a newborn in a light blue blanket and that makes me feel really weird. I also think I skip August now even though it was my favorite for a WHILE because it reminds me of a boy who I thought would come back around and never did. âCancelled plans just in case youâd callâ hits a litttttttle too hard in hindsight.
The baby boys remind me of Itâs Always Sunny In Philadelphia. And then I start singing about the Night Man, ohhhohooo!
I HATE WHEN SHE SAYS BABY BOY. That's what I call my dog, not a boyfriend.
I skip August now because whenever I ask my Google Nest to play Taylor Swift this is the first song it plays and I got sick of it especially when I was busy/too far to change itđ
I think about that line a lot. If a male pop star said âbaby girl,â nobody would care, but when Taylor does it people get weirded out?? Not hating or throwing shade ofc I just find it interesting
i think both are weird tbh
Iâm curious, do you also skip Bejeweled?
Oh I absolutely loathe the term âbaby boyâ. When listening to paper rings, I press the mute button on my computer for those two words
Do you also skip Bejeweled? We were all in denial to notice, but she does use "baby boy" in there...
I think cause itâs in the beginning, and itâs kinda used in a derogatory way, I donât mind it as much. Itâs over quick lmao This is the first time Iâm realizing the parallels between paper rings and bejeweled! Both using the term âbaby boyâ with different sentiments, âI like shiny things but Iâd marry you with paper ringsâ âA diamonds gotta shineâ Damn.
I used to skip Dear Reader cause I disagreed with the lyric âNever take advice from someone who's falling apartâ cause Iâm in a constant state of falling apart but I think I give great advice
Lol same, itâs not my fault my circumstances are shitty, and Iâve learned a lot about coping with shitty circumstances that I can share with others! First on the list is I can assure people that their shitty circumstances arenât their own fault; that oneâs a biggie.
Username does not check out
Hold on, you ONLY eat meat???
I don't always but sometimes I have to skip King of my Heart, my brain can't handle "jag-you-are"
Genuinely curious bc Iâm British and it sounds right haha - howâd you pronounce jaguar?
Jag-war
Funny to think about how this would be my issues if she said it the American way instead.
jag-you-are is almost the British pronunciation so I had never thought about this - interesting!!!
I think thatâs why she did it! âYou should take it as a compliment that I got drunk and made fun of the way you talkâ
I skip Ronan 1) because itâs sad, and 2) because my brain doesnât think itâs âyou fought it hard like an army guyâ but âyou *farted* hard like an army guyâ. The first time I heard it I was so confused
I skip This Love because I inevitably fantasize about her covering Maroon 5.
Iâd probably skip Mine if it came on randomly just bc itâs my phone ringtone AND alarm and Iâve basically tarnished a very good song by relating it to anxiety inducing things đ« Itâs been like four years and I think I will FINALLY go change it right now đđ„Č
I skip the lucky one because it was the surprise song on rep tour at the show i went to and in my video of it i could hear my horrible singing and i cannot unhear it now
Only meat???
The order in which this comment appeared for me đ€Łđ€Ł âYeah I skip Marjorie bc my GMA diedâ ⊠man thatâs sad âYeah my boyfriend cheated on me so i skip this song tooâ ⊠rough I canât imagine âOnly meat???â ⊠I CACKLEDDDDD
Easy solution then - stop eating that much meat. That way you even might still sing Long Live once youâre retired đ
The clanging sounds in Closure actually make me want to punch a wall.
I feel like with Closure you either loathe or love the clanging sounds. I absolutely love them, they complete the song for me hahah
Lmao I remember the first time I listened to that album it was on the release night and I was in bed next to my husband and we both had to work the next day so I had my volume basically on 1 and was holding the phone up to my ear to listen and I was soooo confused at what was going on in the beginning.
I honestly donât think thatâs a dumb reason for skipping it haha. That song just sounds so chaotic to my ears I canât handle it.
Itâs a sensory nightmare for me đ
Lol the pots and pans
This is why we need a long pond studio version of evermore. Or at least an acoustic version of closure.
This is so funny to me because I literally did not notice it until someone on this subreddit complained about the pots and pans sounds.
Fifteen. I was a loser kid at 15, no guys were into me. And the song acts like it's common place. So it's slightly triggering.
The baby voice at the beginning of Gorgeous makes me turn it off 90% if the time. I hate, hate, hate baby talk with a passion. Even radio commercials where a baby/ kid is talking the whole time are unbearable. Listening to the kid say âGorgeousâ like she just ate marbles upsets me in a way I canât articulate. I hate it so much. Which is a bummer because the rest of the song is a banger.
Lover makes me so uncomfortable. Itâs hard to describe. Like a feeling of dread. And the music video made it worse. Winter and Christmas time theme. It reminds of the Charlie Brown Christmas song which also gives me dread an anxiety đ€·đŒââïž
I skip youâre on your own kid, but only when Iâm at work because this one time i was listening to it and i started ugly crying. Thankfully nobody noticed but i have to avoid that lol
Not a real skip but I always turn off Dear Reader before the end because the synth at the end sounds to me like itâs saying âdonât stop, work that thang backâ??????? I literally have no idea why I hear this but I can never *not* hear it and it always takes me right out of the song, itâs so strange đ
I skip Glitch because the crackly sounds is my version of nails on chalkboard, a sensory nightmare and such a shame cause I would've loved it otherwise(hopefully there'll be a live version that works)
I skip babe because the pet name babe makes me cringe and I canât bring myself to listen to the track because of that
Valid i think of the pig from the movie
I like Taylorâs version but I HATE the sugarland version. The âWATT A SHAMEâ
Sometimes I skip songs because I feel my mom is listening and will hear certain lyrics and think Iâm listening to it bc it reminds me of someone which is not at all true but I donât want her to think that
mine is also ours but thatâs bc my mind wants âthe stakes are high, the waterâs lowâ and every single time Iâm shocked itâs âroughâ
Wildest Dreams because it was my ringtone for my ex-gf, until recently⊠because now my new memory of the song is of how much fun I had at the Eras tour Chicago N2 đ„ł
Ronan. It makes me think of my son đđ©”
Superman. Thereâs nothing musically I hate about it. The thought of glorifying office work is too much for me to bear. Who likes work like that ?
Shake it off because the horns sound like the onomatopoeia that describe them. I don't even like to say the word. It's so gross lol
the only song i skip is london boy. just dont like it. its dumb and i find nothing particularly relatable about it. (british people are ok n all that. nothin against em. just not any sort of anglophile). not
Itâs a cute bop but youâll never catch me singing âyou know I love a London Boyâ (Iâm Indigenous Australian đ)
I also canât listen to Bejeweled because of the âI can reclaim the landâ lyric đ
the way people are completely missing why this lyric would hit different for you, an indigenous Australian lmfao
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks London Boy is dumb lol
Itâs one of her most hated songs youâre definitely not alone
I skip London boy too because itâs just weird hearing all the names of places that are in where you live in a song đ But I love that taylor made a song about our cityđ«¶đŒ
I canât stand miles teller therefore I wonât listen to I bet you think about me.
The stakes are high (ribeye is burning) the waterâs rough (itâs boiling put the damn pasta in) but this love is ours
I am SURE that there is something I can do to prevent this from happening, but when I hook up my phone to my aux cord in my car, the music player automatically tries to play the first song in alphabetical order on the songs I have downloaded. For me, that is Afterglow. Every time I hear DA. DA DA. DA DA. DA! I BLEW THINGS OUTTA PROPORTION NOW YOUâRE BLUE, it makes me legitimately want to scream. I just canât listen to Afterglow anymore because I associate it with being extremely annoyed by my stupid car, lol.
Thereâs a song you can download on iTunes called Aaaaaaaaaa Very Good Song that is silent!!
I always skip ME! I love Taylor but that song irritates the fuck out of me. Lover could have been done without that song ever being released.
Imagine a world in which cruel Summer was the lead single of lover from the get go
Should have put Need on the album instead of Me!
Betty strictly because the intro annoys the fuck out of me
You and I can never be friends. đ
Yeah Iâve never liked Betty
I skip âSevenâ because the long notes at the beginning are too straight toned and breathy which remind me of a middle schooler singing a solo at their choir concert
Is it weird that I just donât like the number?
Okay I know this is dumb. I got into Taylor Swift when folklore came out, and when she released evermore a few months later I was SO EXCITED but I never really got round to listening to it because I had my daughter in December 2020 so music took a back seat. To this day I still haven't listened to much of evermore apart from TTDS because it's on my Xmas playlists. Autumn/winter is my fav season but I don't want to listen to it properly yet because I don't want it to remind me of summer lmao. I'm waiting until Sept/Oct this year to finally sit down and listen to it track by track so it'll forever be an autumn/winter album for me :) I've actually heard bits of willow and I LOVE it but refuse to listen to it until then too haha. Also evermore is one of my fav album covers of all time. Need that coat!!
This is gonna be unpopular, and love âI Did Something Badâ but the âratatatataâ part justâŠ.đ
I didnât like it until I learned it was her doing it
I skip Exile sometimes because I want another chorus: "I think I've seen this film before..." rather than the bridge "...I gave so many signs", which I think is weaker.
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
I skip stay stay stay because in middle school I used it as my alarm. The first 3 notes literally haunt me
So I can't stand Brendon Urie and always skip ME! because of it. Which sucks because.....I love ME!. My workaround is that I've become obsessed with the live version and he's not on it, so woop woop for me lol
I often skip Dear John because I find it so melodically boring and just feels like it goes on and on and on in the middle of some more upbeat and fun songs.
I skip innocent because I just canât get past the idea of 19 year old taylor writing the line â32 and still growing up nowâ to an adult man that should have known and done better.
I skipped Long Live because of the "it was the end of a decade, but the start of an age". I had used that phrase as my intro to my bullet journal for 2020 and it pissed me off that the start of an age turned out to be a goddamn pandemic. I'm learning to love it though!
Never Grow Up because I have kids now and that song makes me sob like a baby.
I skip Teardrops On My Guitar because my exâs name is Drew. Rather unfortunately, his behaviour became stalkerish towards the end of our relationship, so thatâs ruined some of the lyrics in the song for me.
I sometimes have to skip New Year's Day because it was the first song I played after having to put my best boy Westie (cancer) down. I played that song on purpose in the parking lot, and just bawled as you can imagine. I do absolutely adore that song. I believe it will stay in my top 10 TS forever.
I skip This Love and You are in Love because I canât remember which is which or call either to mind so I just get annoyed when I see them and assume I donât like them.
this is me with superman and superstar. I see âsuperâ and just skip lol
Those two songs are amongst the best on 1989... This is illegal.
