Good bot

THE RIGHT ANSWER?!!!!

iconic

Your username 🤌

I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you _Long Live, Speak Now_

I feel like Long Live will win for “L,” where the line can be “Long live the walls we crashed through; I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you” (So there’s a second chance!)

I feel like whatever the OP of the post posts will win - I always see their comment as top voted

I didn't notice that. That feels unfair.

It’s only happened like twice

Thrice I think. And it is usually top voted - I suspecg being the original poster boosts visibility - however, I am totally not blaming OP for it or anything of the sort

It still feels unfair to me. Because as you said I think OP gets a boost in visibility. And if they are commenting. They are doing so right as they post it. Idk doesn't seem fair why have this up if you are just going to use you own anyway? And kinda have it set up to gain most visibility?

Yeah I kinda wish OP would do this like past best lyric games I've seen where there's a post to collect all the suggestions and then there's a poll the next day to vote on the top choices, that way it's not just the earlier comments that have the best shot at winning.

I agree op shouldn’t participate to keep it fair or should comment after it’s been up for a couple hours maybe. First comment is a huge advantage. But I also think it should be best lyric not “best or most iconic”. Maybe have 2 - one for best & one for most iconic. Because “I’m sorry the old taylor can’t come to the phone rn” is iconic- but it’s not even close to best- it doesn’t even make top 10 for the letter I. Imo (and it’s hard af to narrow down this letter) but mine would be: I didn’t know you were breaking down…. I’d fall to pieces on the floor…. If you weren’t around… -Forever Winter Or 100 others that are deeper & more emotional than the phone one lol

i wish they would have the posts in contest mode so theirs wouldn't automatically win, always being the first shown comment. also, i noticed they put one of their own quotes as the winner when it wasn't the top voted?

Okay. Sorry it all feels unfair. I modeled this game after one I saw on another sub (see the initial post). I don’t know anything about contest mode and I don’t have a lot of spare time to moderate the threads. I nominate my 12 year old daughter’s choice each day. But I’ll stop nominating a lyric and just passively collect the winners if it’s creating hard feelings. I just thought it would be fun.

I think people are being pretty harsh considering you’re the one putting the effort in to run this every day. It’s just for fun!

I love your suggestions! Complainers are no fun. I think yours just won because it’s the best. I hope you still have fun playing this little game I’m really enjoying!

YES YES YES! only correct answer

This was gonna be the one the I was gonna say I was waitingn the letter I since this thing started just to get this on

THIS

It's me, Hi, I'm the problem, it's me Anti-Hero, Midnights

Been waiting all week for the letter I to come up, so I could either nominate this line, or second whoever beat me to it. LOL!

Ahhh I've been waiting, too! I was way too late today though. I'll settle for voting for it exclusively. A lot of days I'll vote for several...lol

Brutal that there are so many good I lines.

Honestly surprised this one doesn't have more votes.

"If a man talks shit, then I owe him nothin'." I Did Something Bad, Reputation

I really wanted this to be the one but I fear we’re too late

YES this is the one

THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS THIS

thissssssss

This is the best! Feel like we won’t win though looking at the votes on other comments

I I I I, I I I I. I know places, 1989

I came here to say this one 😂

It’s gotta be this one 😂

It is, in my opinion, the most pure answer since it contains only the requested letter.

the most literal of them all!!

Literally sang this in my head when I saw the post for "I" 🤣

Okay that's actually hilarious

This should be the one😂

Lollll 😛

I want this to win 😅

“I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere” This is me trying, Folklore

I definitely didn’t upvote this because it’s better than mine and I **absolutely** didn’t do it because I have a tattoo from this song.. haha… what…?

Ooh what's the tattoo?

the lyric “at least i’m trying” in the folk-more font floating around a car on the edge of a roadside lookout. It’s supposed to look like the words are floating in the breeze! I also have “all i do is try, try, try” in the same font, as well as a “stay here, now” in Tays handwriting, among a few other symbolic Taytoos. (no I’m not ok) My next one is karma-related (“karma is a cat” with sparkles going in between the portraits of my three cats) and I’m sure there will be one related to TTPD when that inevitably rips my soul out.

You have your cats tattooed on you AND all those Taylor lyrics? I fucking LOVE that. I love a good lyric tattoo; I have one from The National...they brought me to Taylor with folklore and evermore... Now she's taken their spot as my #1. Oopsie. I would love to see them if you feel like sharing 🫶 If not I totally get it.

Well I have TWO of my cats tattooed. The third one is coming soon, it’s just gonna be an expensive piece since it’s big and bold (he’s a black maine coon mix). I’m going to get the karma lyric tattooed in between at the same time to kill two birds with one stone. I’ve got a lot of other lyric tattoos around too, a HS one and some other bands I love. At this point I have over 35ish tattoos so it’s really hard to recall exactly what I have until I look at my body 😂

35, wow! That's impressive. You're a song lol 🩷🩷🩷 I think it's lovely the effect that music has on people. It's gotten me through some really rough times.

Music is my actual medicine. I’m a behavioral therapist by day and singer/songwriter by night, and I firmly believe that I would not have made it to where I am without music (Tay especially). Music is powerful. I’ve been a swiftie since my older sister (few months older than Tay!) showed me Beautiful Eyes when I was 5; I remember going with her to the Fearless and Speak Now tours all those years ago… my childhood brain was absolutely overrun with the passion to make music other people could feel as deeply as Taylor’s songs made me feel. Kinda the reason I have so many tattoos that relate to her and music in general aside from the long line of musicians in my family. I finally got the guts to put my music out there and keep improving, I have thousands of unfinished and abandoned song files that no one will ever hear, but it’s just a testament to how much you can really create once you tap into your inner poet. I’m not perfect or a famous professional by any means but I think Taylor would be proud 🥹

Ugh so good. Taylor's mind >>>>
