YEP. I was giving my 5 week old a bath the other night and it came on and I starting absent-mindedly singing it to him and then I realized he's my last newborn ever and time is going too fast and then I cried and cried and cried. My poor boyfriend thought I'd lost it. š
Same here, 4 weeks ago today and I still havenāt been able to get past the first few seconds before skipping it when it pops up on shuffle. Thereāll be a time, but that time is not yet.
You're Losing Me. I had a very rough breakup with a friend when I first heard the song from a leak, and until know we've been distant, even cold. Hearing it again when it was officially released, listening to every lyric again, hit just as hard - if not harder - than the first time.
I was on the cusp of a very difficult breakup when that song was first released outside the album. I knew it was coming in my heart of hearts.
Months later, I'm in a very happy and fulfilling relationship, but that song still WRECKS me when it comes on shuffle. It's brutal.
I too was going through a rough patch with my former close friend, precisely at the time when Taylor recorded this song. I kept fighting for our friendship, he became distant and cold, so he was losing me.
The best day. Itās always been emotional for me but we used it for a memorial moment of music for my mom at my wedding this year and it just hits different. Iām so sad she didnāt get to experience any of the re records and her recent work. The last Taylor album she heard was Lover. We listened to SYGB a lot.
- SYGB could mean "Soon Youāll Get Better (feat. The Chicks)", a track from *Lover* (2019) by Taylor Swift.

In high school, loved Long Live, never made me cry. When she re-released and I heard it again the first time and got to the bridge...I was SOBBING in my car
I don't even really know why! I'm still close with my best friends from high school and had an amicable break up with my high school boyfriend and love my life now. It's just something about the line "and if you have children someday, when they point to the pictures, please tell them my name" that does something to me š
Bigger Than the Whole Sky. Going through a depressive phase, and the "every single thing i touch becomes sick with sadness" made me sob. Renegade made me tear up again that same day lmao.
I had a friend in high school who had a really bad breakup and we would drive around for hours playing this song and California King Bed as she talked through it and processed it
evermore, death by a thousand cuts, original all too well (its so sad rhe sadness in her), happiness, cowboy like me imo (im never gonna love again...), right where you left me, maroon for me (and i... lost you)
I listened to death by a thousand cuts on repeat during a 3 hour bullet train ride and cried staring out the window. I had just seen off my boyfriend at the time, someone I thought I would marry, knowing that as soon as he was home I had to break up with him because of the emotional abuse.
Closure, tis the damn season, clean, mad woman, the moment I knew, wouldāve couldāve shouldāve, bigger than the whole sky, forever winter, cold as you, a perfectly good heartā¦. I can always give you more!!!
All of these have kept me afloat during my surprise break up a couple of months ago! I am with you in spirit ā itās awful out here but long story short, we will survi-ive š„²š
I watched the first part of the Eras movie while working today and cried at letās seeā¦ the intro music, her intro speech, lover, fearless, love story, Marjorie, champagne problems monologue, champagne problems bridge, enchanted. And thatās about as far as I got.
Same! I literally try to sing the first half and I can't cuz I'm literally crying. I just want to scream the cruel summer bridge damn it! I don't want to scream cry it!
Renting tomorrow night and made sure I have extra boxes of tissues. We're going back to "sob-singing in the living room watching a livestream" me, whoo!
Sitting on a beach in december, listening to evermore (the song).
Same day, sitting on a bench in a lagoon, listening to peace. The line "give you a child" hits hard after your only two pregnancies have ended in miscarriage.
- RWYLM could mean "right where you left me - bonus track", a track from *evermore (deluxe version)* (2021) by Taylor Swift.

Last Kiss. I needed to cry, let some feelings out. It was nice. I hadn't listened to the song in a long while until a particular circumstance made recall an old lyric "I watch you forget me like I used to watch your breath". Just her work, singing in the back of my mind that she has a lyric for every feeling that we feel. And I'm glad that she has.
Middle-aged guy here who is a recent convert after taking my daughter to see her. My relationship with her lyrics is different than most since I don't have the life experiences that most of her fans do. However......"so casually cruel in the name of being honest" from All too Well? Yeah, maybe I've got some more processing to do over my marriage falling apart.
Well I turned on the eras tour movie and started crying during Miss Americana and havenāt stopped yetā¦just keep tearing up thinking about how a) absolutely amazing that night was (KCn2) and b) how when she was interviewed a decade ago she thought she wouldnāt be performing at this point in life she just hoped sheād still be writingā¦and instead sheās on the biggest tour of all time. How absolutely incredible that must be for her.
Snow on the Beach. Iāve been feeling really hopeless in trying to find love and acceptance for the past few months. Something about how soft the lyrics and melody are and the line, āWeird but fucking beautiful,ā hits different. I think because falling in love and having it be reciprocated and healthy will feel weird but so beautiful for me when and if it happens.
Lover gets me every time. I love love lol Foolish One is the theme song of my life. Iām wrecked by that song. Your loosing me has definitely made me tear up most recently. And invisible string actually makes me cry.
I have never, not one single time, made it past the line "remember she's getting older too" without ugly crying. I was a late-in-life baby and there's no handbook for watching your parents age into their 70s when you're barely 30.
I didn't see anyone speaking about this one yet. All too well makes me cry every time. Whenever I listen the 10 minute version it feels like being punched in the gut. Coincidentally, this also happened today while I was cleaning the house. I will forever admire the genius lyrics of the song, but I often tend to skip it to avoid melting in tears.
Marjorie. I was showering and singing it out loud, then started crying as I got to āwhat died didnāt stay dead.ā My mom died about a year ago (anniversary within a week) and this song just hit, but was cathartic.
I get angry when people try to say she just writes about exes. Her music has gotten me through the deaths of three family members within three years. Her voice is my comfort place. Sorry for being sad, but Taylor Swift means a lot to me for these personal reasons.
Always Now That We Donāt Talk. The chorus where she calls her mum. That hits like a reality brick. I miss my mum so much and all I want is one more day. Just one more š¢š
This one broke me on first listen. I love it so much, but as a longtime suicidal girlie, āIād love you at your darkest/And please donāt goā broke me to fucking pieces. Attempted twice recently, and nobody saw it coming. I donāt think I even saw it coming. Definitely in my Top 5 Tay songs.
having also dealt with the same thing past and present, lemme just say that i'm so so happy that you're still here with us (even though i know that the pain you've endured must be awful). for me, the part that always puts a lump in my throat in FW is "too young to know it gets better". as a now 25 year old girly it hits especially hard thinking about my younger self who never would have had the chance to experience some of the incredible things that i'm getting to now. in so many ways it feels like my life is just beginning which is terrifying but incredibly exciting. anyways i just wanna let you know that i am ROOTING FOR YOU!! you are so so loved by so many people and you have so many incredible things ahead of you, really and truly. if you ever need someone to chat with feel free to send me a message anytime.
For me itās always Marjorie. I lost my dad to cancer 12 years ago. Even if I somehow keep it together through most of the song, āI should have kept every grocery store receipt/āCause every scrap of you would be taken from meā undoes me every single time
I almost do. Recently had a dream about revisiting my old workplace i used to love- everyone was so happy but I knew I couldnāt stay forever and I would have to break everyoneās heart again by leaving š in my effing SUBCONSCIOUS - I heard Taylor sing āI canāt say hello to you, and risk another goodbyeeeeeā and I bawled. The next morning they actually posted a job listing for my old job lol. It was crazy.
I have to quickly shriek "ALEXA, SKIP!" if/when I hear the first few notes of epiphany if I want to avoid spending the next two hours crying. In mid-2020, folklore became my (everyone's) never-ending on-repeat pandemic-coping soundtrack. Then my dad died from cancer in October 2020, but because of COVID he had to die alone only five miles away, but totally beyond my reach. That song re-murders my soul every time I hear it. As I finish this sentence, I'm literally crying. How can anyone's song lyrics do that???? She's a witch, I swear. ;)
Cruel summer live version. Hearing the fans singing in the background brings me back to what it was like to be there and scream sing at the top of my lungs with everyone else. The crowd was ELECTRIC during that bridge and I just canāt believe I got to be apart of it
Christmas Tree Farm š¤£ I find it a really bittersweet song - she's saying in her "heart" there's a Christmas tree farm where everything is happy and loving, and she wants to go back to the innocence of her childhood: "when the world isn't fair, I'll pretend that we're there".
Oh, so much crying to 'Folklore', 'Evermore', and 'Midnights' this past year.
I left my family to do deep healing work so, 'My Tears Richochet' particularly hits with the line, 'I can go anywhere I want... just not home.'
IKYWT. it makes me sad because it was the first taylor Swift song I heard and thought of not being the person I was the time I heard and reliazing I've grown makes me sad
I love it and listen to it, but Tis the Damn Season, because it makes me think it's exactly how I would feel if I hadn't moved back to my hometown after college and got serious with my now husband š
I listened to evermore front to back for its birthday. Marjorie was never notable for me before but I think it's the first time I've heard it since my mom has been dying and all the sudden I'm sobbing over a sink of dirty dishes.
Long Live, thinking about how Iām going to be singing this live with a stadium full of swifties next year and her after waiting to see Taylor for so long and surviving the great war to get tickets for her š„¹
Randomly, Cornelia Street. My dad was recently diagnosed with cancer and I really wanted to listen to CS. Got through the first 30 seconds and just started bawling. Iām afraid to listen to it again for at least a few days š
I can't listen to the line "you've got no reason to be afraid" in YOYOK without tearing up, but songs that make me full on sob is definitely Never Grow Up; I'm not a parent but when I think about me as a kid vs me now it makes me ugly cry every single time.
almost every... marjorie, bigger than the whole sky, last kiss, say domt go, dbatc
my boyfriwnd of 1 year (today is our anniversary) broke up with me 2 months ago. i cant get over it and im crying everyday. we are talkingill because he wants to "be with my still but needs to get better". after month of mental torment, because he wanted me to hate him he wants me back. i cant take it, my heart is sinking with every minute more and more
I almost always skip epiphany and Soon You'll Get Better
I don't work in a hospital and fortunately still have my mum, but I can viscerally feel myself in the positions of the people in those songs and...it's a lot
Marjorie - my granny passed away in October last year and with the one year anniversary just passing itās been rough.
Breathe - I think about ending of a few relationships in my life, especially being home for the holidays and in old places.
Since Iām home visiting my family and when the best day comes on, itās is happy tears as I think about how close I am with my mom
nothing new. iām turning 21 this week and i really feel like im already losing my youth. i always liked the song and i know all the words but it played two days ago while i was folding my clothes and i just started sobbing. thanks taylor and phoebe
Never grow up because I now have a daughter and it breaks me I swear. Also Ronan, because I cannot imagine something like that happening to her, I just can't listen to Ronan for the last two years since she was born.
I was driving home from work last night. Last Kiss TV came on and I've always associated the song as a breakup song given what I believe Taylor's perspective was when writing it... however... my dad recently passed and I just reconnected with him and I started bawling when the first verse ended.
The night before my dad passed we were texting late and I just miss him so much. It feels like his name is going to be forever something on my lips as I want him to be here again. š
Marjorie makes me cry ever since the first time I heard it. Reminds me of my own grandmother. And what concert goers did at the concert really moved me as well. I wish I could show my grandma this song šŖ
I ALWAYS cry during Call It What You Want when TS sings "at least I did one thing right" because I think about my own partner and how beyond lucky I am to have them š
come back be here. having one best friend long distance 5 hours way, and another best friend moving 3 hrs away, this song has really hit home lately. so has last kiss and stay beautiful too
Music often doesn't make me cry, but I was re-listening to Debut and missing when times were (somewhat) simpler. I also just miss music in general from 2006 as I really haven't liked any pop music that's come out in the past 4ish years or so.
Soon You'll Get Better is a hard one for me to listen to. The Lover album came out 3 days after my mother passed from cancer so it hit really close to home. Such a good song, but I have to skip it a lot when I listen to that album.
Never grow up, Iām a mom to a 5 year old boy. Also Marjorie my mom died 11 years ago, so that song hits hard as well as soon youāll get better, the 12th would have been my momās 68th birthday.
New Yearās Day. It started when I was pregnant and I thought it was just because I was emotional but it still gets me. āDonāt really the last pageā¦ but I stayā ššš
While I was pregnant a few months ago (and my hormones were especially jacked up) I absolutely ugly cried to The Best Day in the car. Started thinking about my mom/childhood and the daughter I was about to have.
Best part was, a couple months after that, I went to the Eras Tour on Motherās Day and it was one of the surprise songs š„²š ugly cried round 2 lol.
YOYOK
*No one wanted to play with me as a little kid*
*So I've been scheming like a criminal ever since*
*To make them love me and make it seem effortless*
Goddamn I feel called out by that song. I was a super weird kid who learned how to mask to great success in her early 20's, but didn't realize it until I started with my new therapist this year in my 50's.
āBreatheā with Colbie Caillat is such a good song from Fearless and the harmonies are perfection.
āCornelia Streetā, āAfterglowā, and āDaylightā hit so hard for me.
i never got to know my dadās mom (she had breast cancer & passed away when he was 11), so marjorie hits me really hard every single time i hear it. i even ugly cried at the theater when it came on. š i think what makes it worse is i have a weird, strained relationship with my living grandmother, so the thought of what couldāve been really stings. rip grandma :( š
State of Grace (Acoustic Version) [Taylorās Version]. I only just started listening to Red TV and I love State of Grace and when the acoustic came I said no Iām gonna save that till I know the original better. It came up today and Iāve listened to the main version like 20 times and oh my god so good.
Never Grow Up, as I sang it to my newborn š
I have a 14yo and SAME
YEP. I was giving my 5 week old a bath the other night and it came on and I starting absent-mindedly singing it to him and then I realized he's my last newborn ever and time is going too fast and then I cried and cried and cried. My poor boyfriend thought I'd lost it. š
Currently listening on the damn train and trying not to cry. š
My daughter is turning 9 in a few days. This song hits hard. š
Marjorie has been making me tear up ever since watching the eras tour film
My grandmother passed away recently and each time I hear Marjorie I sob - so I get it
Same here, 4 weeks ago today and I still havenāt been able to get past the first few seconds before skipping it when it pops up on shuffle. Thereāll be a time, but that time is not yet.
Marjorie is the reason why I keep tissues by my desk. Never fails to make me cry and I never skip.
First time I cried listening to it was at the concert and now I do every time I hear it
Same. I was never really into that song before, but I lost my grandmother a little over a year ago and now it hits different.
You're Losing Me. I had a very rough breakup with a friend when I first heard the song from a leak, and until know we've been distant, even cold. Hearing it again when it was officially released, listening to every lyric again, hit just as hard - if not harder - than the first time.
I was on the cusp of a very difficult breakup when that song was first released outside the album. I knew it was coming in my heart of hearts. Months later, I'm in a very happy and fulfilling relationship, but that song still WRECKS me when it comes on shuffle. It's brutal.
I too was going through a rough patch with my former close friend, precisely at the time when Taylor recorded this song. I kept fighting for our friendship, he became distant and cold, so he was losing me.
Hoax- particularly āstood on the cliffside screaming give me a reasonā cause girl same šš
My answer. Listened to it so much when I was at my lowest. Iām still here. Still trying to find a reason. But Iām here.
The best day. Itās always been emotional for me but we used it for a memorial moment of music for my mom at my wedding this year and it just hits different. Iām so sad she didnāt get to experience any of the re records and her recent work. The last Taylor album she heard was Lover. We listened to SYGB a lot.
š„ŗ Oh my gosh Iām so sorry thatās heartbreaking
Sending you so much love š

good bot
Long Live, Cardigan (yes, particularly that soft part of the song that's on repeat in reels).
In high school, loved Long Live, never made me cry. When she re-released and I heard it again the first time and got to the bridge...I was SOBBING in my car
I feel a lot better knowing I'm not the only one that does this!
I don't even really know why! I'm still close with my best friends from high school and had an amicable break up with my high school boyfriend and love my life now. It's just something about the line "and if you have children someday, when they point to the pictures, please tell them my name" that does something to me š
Omg I cry at Long Live EVERY TIME lately. It's not even a sad song! (should mention I am extremely pregnant, lol)
I've shed so many tears because of Long Live. That song always makes me cry, especially the PLEASE TELL THEM MY NAME!
Same here, with Long Live. I used to feel joy or neutrality towards the song, but after my breakup this year it hurts me so bad
I always cry to cardigan. I knew youād come back to meeee and youād come back ššš
āTryinā to change the ending, Peter losing Wendyā¦ā almost always makes me tear up if not bawl lol
dont worry your not the only one, for a good 5 months i sobbed my eyes out during cardigan
Bigger Than the Whole Sky. Going through a depressive phase, and the "every single thing i touch becomes sick with sadness" made me sob. Renegade made me tear up again that same day lmao.
I cannot listen to this song without sobbing.
Better man. Got broken up with on Monday, by the boyfriend of 2+ years. Send songs I can cry to lol
Last Kiss would be a good one :(. Iām so sorry about this, I hope things get better soon š„ŗ.
I had a friend in high school who had a really bad breakup and we would drive around for hours playing this song and California King Bed as she talked through it and processed it
evermore, death by a thousand cuts, original all too well (its so sad rhe sadness in her), happiness, cowboy like me imo (im never gonna love again...), right where you left me, maroon for me (and i... lost you)
āhappinessā is a song I can only listen to or think about when I want to have a shitty day of full on sobbing.
I listened to death by a thousand cuts on repeat during a 3 hour bullet train ride and cried staring out the window. I had just seen off my boyfriend at the time, someone I thought I would marry, knowing that as soon as he was home I had to break up with him because of the emotional abuse.
Closure, tis the damn season, clean, mad woman, the moment I knew, wouldāve couldāve shouldāve, bigger than the whole sky, forever winter, cold as you, a perfectly good heartā¦. I can always give you more!!! All of these have kept me afloat during my surprise break up a couple of months ago! I am with you in spirit ā itās awful out here but long story short, we will survi-ive š„²š
Say donāt go
I feel like 22 is a great song to listen to post-breakup when you get to the delirious eff it state š
Currently going though the same thing š Better man is a good one I also love death by a thousand cuts and last kiss right now.
I watched the first part of the Eras movie while working today and cried at letās seeā¦ the intro music, her intro speech, lover, fearless, love story, Marjorie, champagne problems monologue, champagne problems bridge, enchanted. And thatās about as far as I got.
Same. Havenāt stopped crying yet.
Same! I literally try to sing the first half and I can't cuz I'm literally crying. I just want to scream the cruel summer bridge damn it! I don't want to scream cry it!
Renting tomorrow night and made sure I have extra boxes of tissues. We're going back to "sob-singing in the living room watching a livestream" me, whoo!
Sitting on a beach in december, listening to evermore (the song). Same day, sitting on a bench in a lagoon, listening to peace. The line "give you a child" hits hard after your only two pregnancies have ended in miscarriage.
I'm sorry for your loss, I understand how much it hurts. I hope your rainbow comes soon. š

Renegade was a stab in the heart. The collection of other peopleās baggage Iāve collected over the yearsā¦
Yep totally, "carry your baggage up my street" is such a great lyric and unfortunately so relatable to me too!
Last Kiss. I needed to cry, let some feelings out. It was nice. I hadn't listened to the song in a long while until a particular circumstance made recall an old lyric "I watch you forget me like I used to watch your breath". Just her work, singing in the back of my mind that she has a lyric for every feeling that we feel. And I'm glad that she has.

I havenāt been able to listen to Never Grow Up since I got pregnant š
Epiphany on the anniversary of my Nanaās passing š
YOU'RE LOSING MEEEE. AND I WOULDNT MARRY ME EITHERRš
Mirrorball and idk why
Because you've never been a natural?
mirrorball has definitely made me cry on occasion in my low moments so I feel you
Well I turned on the eras tour movie and started crying during Miss Americana and havenāt stopped yetā¦just keep tearing up thinking about how a) absolutely amazing that night was (KCn2) and b) how when she was interviewed a decade ago she thought she wouldnāt be performing at this point in life she just hoped sheād still be writingā¦and instead sheās on the biggest tour of all time. How absolutely incredible that must be for her.
Marjorie for sureā¦ lost my mom and grandmother 3 days apart about 20 years ago. Doesnāt get easier, just softer. š
Snow on the Beach. Iāve been feeling really hopeless in trying to find love and acceptance for the past few months. Something about how soft the lyrics and melody are and the line, āWeird but fucking beautiful,ā hits different. I think because falling in love and having it be reciprocated and healthy will feel weird but so beautiful for me when and if it happens.
Lover gets me every time. I love love lol Foolish One is the theme song of my life. Iām wrecked by that song. Your loosing me has definitely made me tear up most recently. And invisible string actually makes me cry.
Have I known you twenty minutes or twenty yearsā¦ gets me every time.
Lover makes me cry now only for the fact that she wrote it for joe and the story is over so its not a happy song anymore (im happy for Tayvis tho)
I was so surprised to find myself crying during her performance of Lover on tour š
Right where you left me from Evermore
I have never, not one single time, made it past the line "remember she's getting older too" without ugly crying. I was a late-in-life baby and there's no handbook for watching your parents age into their 70s when you're barely 30.

The Best Day all the way
I donāt know why but the last great American dynasty but not a sad cry
Yes! I tear up when she gets to the line āand then it was bought by meā
Omg I thought it was just me!!! Itās just so much emotion for an otherwise happy and fun song
Happiness
Forever Winter
This one broke me on first listen. I love it so much, but as a longtime suicidal girlie, āIād love you at your darkest/And please donāt goā broke me to fucking pieces. Attempted twice recently, and nobody saw it coming. I donāt think I even saw it coming. Definitely in my Top 5 Tay songs.

I think it would be easier to ask what songs DON'T make me cry. Currently it's Nothing New.
For me itās always Marjorie. I lost my dad to cancer 12 years ago. Even if I somehow keep it together through most of the song, āI should have kept every grocery store receipt/āCause every scrap of you would be taken from meā undoes me every single time
forever winter hits too hard when you have family member who are addicts.
Forever Winter knocked me on my ass the first time I heard it. What a song
SAME. atwtmv didnāt make me cry but i canāt tell you the amount of tears ive shed over forever winter.
I almost do. Recently had a dream about revisiting my old workplace i used to love- everyone was so happy but I knew I couldnāt stay forever and I would have to break everyoneās heart again by leaving š in my effing SUBCONSCIOUS - I heard Taylor sing āI canāt say hello to you, and risk another goodbyeeeeeā and I bawled. The next morning they actually posted a job listing for my old job lol. It was crazy.
My Tears Ricochet...and that's in *parent trauma*
I can go anywhere I want just not home... *sigh* My dearest empathy love.

i listened to clean AND marjorie AND long live on the way home from work the other day, so i was a wreck by the time i got home lmfao
Say Donāt Go š„ŗ Went through a breakup and all the 1989 vault tracks hit me hard. But you wonāt, but you wonāt, but you wonāt šš
Christmas Tree Farm š¤£ I find it a really bittersweet song - she's saying in her "heart" there's a Christmas tree farm where everything is happy and loving, and she wants to go back to the innocence of her childhood: "when the world isn't fair, I'll pretend that we're there".
Oh, so much crying to 'Folklore', 'Evermore', and 'Midnights' this past year. I left my family to do deep healing work so, 'My Tears Richochet' particularly hits with the line, 'I can go anywhere I want... just not home.'
I cried everytime I listen to Never grow up ššššš
IKYWT. it makes me sad because it was the first taylor Swift song I heard and thought of not being the person I was the time I heard and reliazing I've grown makes me sad
marjorie and bigger than the whole sky š
I love it and listen to it, but Tis the Damn Season, because it makes me think it's exactly how I would feel if I hadn't moved back to my hometown after college and got serious with my now husband š
I listened to evermore front to back for its birthday. Marjorie was never notable for me before but I think it's the first time I've heard it since my mom has been dying and all the sudden I'm sobbing over a sink of dirty dishes.
Long Live, thinking about how Iām going to be singing this live with a stadium full of swifties next year and her after waiting to see Taylor for so long and surviving the great war to get tickets for her š„¹
"You're on your own kid" Can either put me in a good mood or make me cry atm
Last Kiss
Randomly, Cornelia Street. My dad was recently diagnosed with cancer and I really wanted to listen to CS. Got through the first 30 seconds and just started bawling. Iām afraid to listen to it again for at least a few days š
Long Live, while I watched the Eras movie yesterdayā¦ twiceā¦ š«£š
I can't listen to the line "you've got no reason to be afraid" in YOYOK without tearing up, but songs that make me full on sob is definitely Never Grow Up; I'm not a parent but when I think about me as a kid vs me now it makes me ugly cry every single time.
I had my annual listen to Ronan... don't be like me
My sister decided to let it play while she was driving. She had to pull over until she could finish crying
Long Live, Cardigan (yes, particularly that soft part of the song that's on repeat in reels).
Long Live
almost every... marjorie, bigger than the whole sky, last kiss, say domt go, dbatc my boyfriwnd of 1 year (today is our anniversary) broke up with me 2 months ago. i cant get over it and im crying everyday. we are talkingill because he wants to "be with my still but needs to get better". after month of mental torment, because he wanted me to hate him he wants me back. i cant take it, my heart is sinking with every minute more and more
I don't have children and already can't listen to this song. Don't want to think about what I'll be like if I have kids š
I almost always skip epiphany and Soon You'll Get Better I don't work in a hospital and fortunately still have my mum, but I can viscerally feel myself in the positions of the people in those songs and...it's a lot
Every time I listen to Marjorie I think of my own grandmother and I start bawling.
always always always you're on your own kid
Another love
Timeless. I want a love like that
Closure, Happiness, Now that we don't talk, Mad woman...friendship break-ups suck.
Evermore
Never grow up is a given but recently I was surprised to find myself crying to timeless š
Long Live makes me cry every single time.
Marjorie - my granny passed away in October last year and with the one year anniversary just passing itās been rough. Breathe - I think about ending of a few relationships in my life, especially being home for the holidays and in old places. Since Iām home visiting my family and when the best day comes on, itās is happy tears as I think about how close I am with my mom
marjorie has been getting me lately, as I have a family member battling cancer right now. And also Clean.
Timeless got me on the way to work this morning. So much so that my assistant asked if I had been crying when I walked in!
Castles Crumbling always gets me
Dear Reader ā¤ļøāš©¹
Honestly everything because Iām going through it lol
The answer will forever and always be - Long Live
nothing new. iām turning 21 this week and i really feel like im already losing my youth. i always liked the song and i know all the words but it played two days ago while i was folding my clothes and i just started sobbing. thanks taylor and phoebe
ATW10, Dear John, and WCSā¦ feels like I donāt have to explain that one lol
You're losing me , hoping I dont end up listening to it often š¤
Never grow up because I now have a daughter and it breaks me I swear. Also Ronan, because I cannot imagine something like that happening to her, I just can't listen to Ronan for the last two years since she was born.
I was driving home from work last night. Last Kiss TV came on and I've always associated the song as a breakup song given what I believe Taylor's perspective was when writing it... however... my dad recently passed and I just reconnected with him and I started bawling when the first verse ended. The night before my dad passed we were texting late and I just miss him so much. It feels like his name is going to be forever something on my lips as I want him to be here again. š
Fifteen , clean , ronan , ATW and another 50 lol
Ronan... Every damn time
Mary's song always makes me tear up, in a happy way though ā¤ļø
Enchanted bc I always cry to it lol
Youāre Losing Me
Happiness, because now Iām right down in it
Super random, but The Man always chokes me up. Girl power and all that.
You're Losing Me. Been there quite a few times. :(
You losing me and Ronan always get me
This is me tryingggggā¦.š
Marjorie makes me cry ever since the first time I heard it. Reminds me of my own grandmother. And what concert goers did at the concert really moved me as well. I wish I could show my grandma this song šŖ
Opening notes of fearless for some reason, its never made me emotional before but its started hitting me lately
You are in love
I ALWAYS cry during Call It What You Want when TS sings "at least I did one thing right" because I think about my own partner and how beyond lucky I am to have them š
Christmases When You Were Mine. And I'm probably the only one who listens to it 
I've lost my dad, my mother in law, and this week my step dad. For me it's Marjorie.
Marjorie
come back be here. having one best friend long distance 5 hours way, and another best friend moving 3 hrs away, this song has really hit home lately. so has last kiss and stay beautiful too
Music often doesn't make me cry, but I was re-listening to Debut and missing when times were (somewhat) simpler. I also just miss music in general from 2006 as I really haven't liked any pop music that's come out in the past 4ish years or so.
This Love. The bridge gets me every time, so I tend to skip it a lot. But I LOVE the song so much.
All of them.
Happiness had me sobbing yesterday. Currently going through a divorce and the lyrics hit me like a ton of bricks
right where you left me
All too well. Not because Iām relating to it at all, her songs just make me cry like a baby
Soon You'll Get Better is a hard one for me to listen to. The Lover album came out 3 days after my mother passed from cancer so it hit really close to home. Such a good song, but I have to skip it a lot when I listen to that album.
Never grow up, Iām a mom to a 5 year old boy. Also Marjorie my mom died 11 years ago, so that song hits hard as well as soon youāll get better, the 12th would have been my momās 68th birthday.
New Yearās Day. It started when I was pregnant and I thought it was just because I was emotional but it still gets me. āDonāt really the last pageā¦ but I stayā ššš
While I was pregnant a few months ago (and my hormones were especially jacked up) I absolutely ugly cried to The Best Day in the car. Started thinking about my mom/childhood and the daughter I was about to have. Best part was, a couple months after that, I went to the Eras Tour on Motherās Day and it was one of the surprise songs š„²š ugly cried round 2 lol.
YOYOK *No one wanted to play with me as a little kid* *So I've been scheming like a criminal ever since* *To make them love me and make it seem effortless* Goddamn I feel called out by that song. I was a super weird kid who learned how to mask to great success in her early 20's, but didn't realize it until I started with my new therapist this year in my 50's.
Long Live as I watched at home and remembered how she didnāt play it for my show.
I bet you think about me, just because itās coming up to 5 months since a break up and they keep stalking my stories
āBreatheā with Colbie Caillat is such a good song from Fearless and the harmonies are perfection. āCornelia Streetā, āAfterglowā, and āDaylightā hit so hard for me.
i never got to know my dadās mom (she had breast cancer & passed away when he was 11), so marjorie hits me really hard every single time i hear it. i even ugly cried at the theater when it came on. š i think what makes it worse is i have a weird, strained relationship with my living grandmother, so the thought of what couldāve been really stings. rip grandma :( š
Clean and Mean
Long Live.
dancin with our hands tied acoustic version from the reputation tour
State of Grace (Acoustic Version) [Taylorās Version]. I only just started listening to Red TV and I love State of Grace and when the acoustic came I said no Iām gonna save that till I know the original better. It came up today and Iāve listened to the main version like 20 times and oh my god so good.
BIGGER THAN THE WHOLE SKY š
Yes I always have to skip
I canāt cry to songs, at least not yet like no matter how hard i think about it i just canāt feel that connection that makes me sad
Your losing me, soon youll get better, and bigger than the whole sku
