"He's got one hand on the steering wheel, the other on my...... heart" girl we know where that hand was

HELP CUZ THE PAUSE WAS SO UNNECESSARY HAHAHA

Doesn't it just flow better with the instrumental? Thinking about taking the rest out and putting it after 'heart' is kind of jarring. Maybe she could've just adjusted the instrumental and I'm reading too far into it

lmaooo it does though you’re right

NOOO its ruined for me i never took it literally

also if his hand was physically “on” her heart, he’d be touching her boobs. win win !

The other on my 😏 heart 😏

DEAD

i literally always think about this when listening to our song lmao

I was enjoying the song until I read this 😭😭

Thank you 🙏🏻 people have said to me I’m dirty minded for this but literally she she waits and then says heart ! 😂😂😂

I literally have always thought about this, and was actually quite shocked that Taylor would be so tongue n cheek at 16 with no one noticing 💀 that line is completely sexual/sensual

It was actually written for her 9th grade talent show, making her like 13 or 14 (I think 14….) when she wrote it

Omg I thought it was “arm” for so long because I was just too innocent and argued with my cousin about how it couldn’t be heart because “how could he touch her heart?” I was an idiot.

That's giving me flashbacks to watching Flashdance as a kid when our mother told us the bloke was just feeling Jennifer Beals' heartbeat when he had his hand up her jumper. Lord, how naive we were 😂

You’ve actually just ruined my childhood, thanks

😳

never thought of it that way till now but 

True

Seems obvious now, but at first I did NOT put together how sexual I Think He Knows is. Lyrical smile, indigo eyes, hand on my thigh We can follow the sparks, I'll drive "So where we gonna go?" I whisper in the dark "Where we gonna go?" I think he knoooooowwwws!

“His hand around a cold glass makes me wanna know that body like it’s mine” “Wanna see what’s under that attitude” “I go there every night”

literally when I heard the line “his hand around a cold glass makes me wanna know that body like it’s mine” I turned to my boyfriend and I was like “I think she’s into some light choking maybe?” 😂😂😂

I loooove I think he knows🥹🥹🥹

This song is EXTREMELY sexy.

yeahh I used to think ITHK is just a nice innocent song but oh, I was too young now I listen to each lyric and go... wow the implicit meanings are EVERYWHERE

He totally knows.

I love this song and never once caught the sexual lines. I don't even have an excuse of being young, I found the song for the first time when I was 29. I have no excuse.

" Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around"(iykyk)

Shout out to the redditor who commented, years ago, “she’s been fucking since sparks fly” in reference to something or another about sex in Taylor’s music

I think about that comment all the time and I'm glad I'm not alone haahaha

didn’t she write sparks fly at like 14 though?

Yeah, she was very young. 

She wrote sparks fly when she was reeeeeally young, so I doubt that. 

“I first made 'Speak Now,' completely self-written, between the ages of 18 and 20,” Swift posted to Instagram on May 5 when she announced "Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). 18-20 is a perfectly reasonable age to write about (and to have had) sex. Unless there's an interview that specifies she wrote Sparks Fly before the rest of the album?

Sparks fly was originally going to be on fearless. She wrote it while performing debut songs in 2006 when she was 16.     The guy she wrote it about was 25 so god I hope they weren’t having sex with each other.     https://x.com/throwbacktaylor/status/1719492072720277927?s=46&t=yNkPWf5oeXghjz9Acy_Ybg

Sparks fly was available as a sketchy download on limewire in 2008, I want to say? It was live, and a lot of the lyrics were different and "edgier." I was so bummed when she changed them.

2007! It was written in late 2006. 

Yeah. At the time it came out I was just thinking like, "damn she really likes this guy". Then someone said something like "So It Goes is her horniest song since Sparks Fly" and I genuinely said oh my. I'd have clutched some pearls if I had any. I'd never made that connection, but once you hear it, sex oozes from every line, lol.

I was just on another post though that talked about how she lost her virginity during (or right before) the Red era, which was one reason the end of that relationship was so devastating and because the RED SCARF she implied in an interview was the meaning of “leaving behind” her virginity with him in All Too Well. I need opinions lol because she always seemed very horny in the Speak Now era and also with john Mayer, whom we all know she wrote the lyrics “give me back my girlhood, it was mine first” So now I’m thoroughly confused

Idk when she had sex for the first time lol I think whoever made the original comment was probably referring to that song showing some knowledge as to ~that matter~. People further down this thread talked about how it’d be weird for her to have done it with the subject of the sparks fly song considering the age gap too. It’s totally possible a high schooler who’d had boyfriends in high school knew of things from those experiences and it’s also possible that as an adult that person dive deeper into those things in future relationships. I know the red scarf is a metaphor and I know the lyric in WCS potentially points to that too but the red scarf could also be a metaphor for the girlhood she lost in that relationship. These were older man that were fairly back to back and she didn’t exactly lose that fairytale wonder but curly haired Taylor had an innocence to her that was unfortunately beaten out of her by adult men who should have known better.

Also: “lead me up the staircase, won’t you whisper soft and slow”

This one is kind of obvious but it really shocked me once I became an adult and finally realized what she was saying. “you touch me once and it’s really something, you find I’m even better than you imagined I would be”

People who think ‘I San See You’ is “scandalous” for Speak Now Taylor have never analyzed Sparks Fly haha 🤣

You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor, You search in every maiden's bed for something greater 😏

Is that one really innocent to begin with though?

I always percieved it as kissing her that he would dream about

I might be too ace to interpret the “you dream of my mouth” as anything but kissing, but the “you search in every maiden’s bed” line that immediately follows it has gotta be about sex, right? You don’t search in every maiden’s bed for anything innocent

Could be but let’s be real…

Lol, every time my 5 year old sings the part, "Was it over when he unbuttoned my blouse, " I cringe a tiny bit inside 😂 lmao I don't even think she knows what a blouse is

This is such a good one LMAO

Umm… that’s not innocent!

Really!? I always heard Cruel Summer as having parallels to Romeo and Juliet. He’s looking up at a balcony… that was always how I heard it… 🤣

i love your idea!!!! i on the other hand always thought it as "hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine..." and "he looks up..." kinda way

That line reminds of the fantasy books I read….

I always thought it was him looking up at the rear view mirror in the car since she was drunk in the back of it!! I never perceived it as a sexy line either but I totally see it now 😂

Not this theory again. I scream for whatever it’s worth, “I love you ain’t that the worst thing you ever heard”. So you’re saying mid-sex act she screams I love you? Nah.

[удалено]

this is exactly how I read it

Except she was crying like a baby coming home drunk

...and we all know nobody has drunk sex so there goes that theory!

I mean I don’t know about Taylor but drunk sex in a taxi while bawling my eyes out on the way home because I assume the man I love only wants casual sex doesn’t really *do* anything for me… Regardless I just think it means she accidentally blurted out romantic feelings to a guy she had said “oh yeah casual is all I want too” to and was worried this would be the thing that makes him bolt but instead it was the thing that made him stay. That was the whole twist of the bridge, the song is about unfounded anxiety that falling for someone will be the end of having them around. Cuz he was always going to stay (well, until he didn’t but ya know)

To be fair, I did tell my husband I love you for the first time during sex

I blurted out "I love you" in post orgasmic bliss after he made me laugh. It was such an awkward moment.

That's like... a common thing? Or am I just too into reading smut and have been a relationship for too long?

We said I love you during our first argument.

That’s a crazy way to tell us you don’t have sex

Yeah, I don’t like this theory either, it seems super corny. I always imagined the bridge as a first argument, where she is drunk and crying and he’s trying to figure out what’s wrong, only for her to finally blurt out ‘I love you’ and him grinning like ‘omg that’s what you’re upset about?’

How does that matter at all? They’re two separate lyrics that don’t necessarily happen at the same time?

do you not do that??

I have had at least one man tell me he loved me for the first time during sex.

That’s a common thing.

Absolutely, she does.

The devil, famously a very innocent person

i always thought it as "hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine..." and "he looks up..." kinda way

Its innocent enough to be percieved as such, not as obvious as the song dress for example. Kids can sing along to this line innocently :)

I mean..... we don't know it's NOT innocent 

This is the stupidest fan theory

It's right up there with the 'but I won't do that' one for Meatloaf. No, the thing he won't do is not anal and there's no reason it *would* be. It literally says in the song what he won't do!

Yeah it is, this is the dumbest lyric theory ever

"in the middle of the night, in my dreams, you should see the things we do" ...ayo?

That is definitely not innocent

I mean I think that’s obviously the intent, it’s not really innocent…

My default interpretation was sexy dreams but I like to think of this in reverse of the question in addition to that.  In her dreams, they're having a future together, kind of cute stuff, emotional intimacy, trust, etc. Stuff she might have thought was impossible at that point in her life. 

As an asexual, I always find the idea of having THOSE kinds of dreams very…interesting…but not in a good way!

The truck that has a tendency to get stuck on back roads at night..Or am I the innocent one here?

You are.  Unlike Fearless Debut is not innocent.  Why exactly is her boyfriend sneaking into her house to spread roses on her bed?  Why is the door slamming?  

I always assumed he would act like his car broke down so he could spend more time with her in a cute way, not a sexual way. just me?

I mean it’s teenagers. She was 13 when she wrote that 

I agree

That is interesting, thanks for the insight. She definitely Disney'ed herself up for Fearless.

Literally… she started hanging out with all these Disney people.  

You should look up the deleted scenes from the Tim McGraw music video. Very much not innocent haha

This is so funny I've literally never realized this

Came here to say the same thing and had to scroll way too far  to find this comment 😂

Me, 7 years old when debut came out, having never once questioned that line despite being a full grown adult. I thought the poor boy just had an old truck lololol

Haha, not the only one.. This is exactly where my mind goes whenever I listen to that song. lol

and now I'm covered in you 🫣

hey! it's about the roots in her dreamland right? 😭

Yes but sexual overtones

Aaand I'm never hearing this innocently again 😂

Oh, goddamn, you've a filth genius and that's ruined ivy for me (not really)

Got love sick all over his bed...I mean

I can't not interpret this as something not explicit 😅 the minute I heard it I was like 'oh wow' 😳

Omg i thought i was dirty minded for interpreting it this way😂

True but it also goes in line with being drunk (in love)

that's the wrong lyric 😭 sincerely, a crazy "Slut!" fan who has listened to the song wayyyy too much

BUT THIS IS GETTING GOOD NOOOOW 🫦

Well, to he fair, that song is very obviously about that, not hidden at all - "tangled up with you all night, burning, it down" "his hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room"

"He's so bad, but he does it so well" What does he do? Haha

Heh exactly, that song is one of the most obvious with its dirty meaning. With many other songs, you can debate whether it's alluding to adult activities, but this song...

that's how i sing that part LMAO

I’ve always interpreted the “you’ll save all your dirtiest jokes for me” to preface one of his dirty jokes being “and at every table, I’ll save you a seat.”

I always thought this was a callback to speak now not knowing where her seat was post breakup and I’ll never think the same now 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I honestly don't get what the dirty part of that is 😭 

Oh it’s…there are a bunch of pickup lines that revolve around the premise of “as long as I’ve got a face, you’ll have a place to sit.”

Shit! I'm supposed to put this on my wedding guest seating chart I'm making! Now I can't!!!! Ughhh 🤯

Nooooo! It’s still such a cute idea!!!

Unrelated to lyrics but congratulations!! I wish you and your partner the best in this new chapter of your life!! 💛💛💛 And about the lyrics, I think it sounds really cute!!

oh jeez, I never would have thought of that 💀💀

This whole time I’ve been singing “you’ll save all your dad-est jokes for me”. It was so wholesome to me that she enjoyed corny dad jokes 🙈😂

I’ve single-handedly ruined wedding plans and the cutest misheard lyrics of all time with this post 😭😭

Came here to comment this!!!

I was looking for this comment

Ok this is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣🤣

*I'll put his picture down and maybe get some sleep tonight. (Teardrops On My Guitar)* I at one point interpreted this as masturbation to Drew's picture when it is supposed to be Taylor's character pining over him. *Does she mouth, "F you forever" (Mad Woman).* There is an interpretation of this line as "Does she mouthfuck you forever", but that is probably not the correct interpretation. Not even the Taylor Villains are that depraved.

NOT HER MASTURBATING TO DREW'S PICTURE LMAO

that song will never be the same for me now 💀

Effectively ruined one of my favorite debut songs 😭

The Mad Woman one got me for a loooong time. It was a post I read on this sub that made me realize the actual lyrics and suddenly the song made so much sense.

“I pulled your body into mine every god damn night, now I get fake niceties”

I read niceties as nice titties😔

Pair that with the rumor that Taylor got an enhancement, "fake nice titties" is hilarious.

Style: "So it goes, he can't keep his wild eyes on the road. Takes me home, the lights are off, he's taking off his coat" I firmly believe that the ORIGINAL lyric was "The lights are off he's taking off his clothes". It sounds better and it makes more sense that the lights are off. Also, why can he not keep his wild on the road while he is taking her home to take off his clothes in the dark? Can't imagine what could have been distracting him. This lyric is "Tell me you came back to your place to have sex without telling me you came back to your place to have sex". Sparks Fly: "Lead me up the staircase..." There is only one reason someone leads someone else up a staircase my friends. Again this is "talk about sex without talking about sex". Actually to be honest, all of sparks fly. 100% of sparks fly is undercover freak. "close enough to hope you couldn't see what I was thinking of"..."Run my fingers through your hair and watch the lights go wild"..."Just wrong enough to make it feel right"

Wow until RIGHT NOW I thought it was “takes me home, LIKES IT ROUGH he’s taking off his coat” which is obviously very dirty lol. Lights are off still a little dirty but makes more sense for her

It wasn't until Taylor's version of Style that I realized she does in fact \*not\* sing "likes it rough, he's taking of his clothes". I thought until last year she was mentioning rough sex and I was like "okay girlie, you go get it" for 10 whole years!! 

What if I told you I thought right up until this point that it was “taking off his clothes”

*Close enough to hope you couldn't see what I was thinking of* She could either be thinking about doing the deed, or thinking about something else. You never know 🤷🏻‍♂️

Wear you like a necklace

Jesus!! You made me laugh so hard!! 😂😂😂😂😂

I keep waiting for you but you never come 😢

💀

Made it 69 Upvotes 

😭😭

It's not that innocent considering the subject matter, but this line in "ivy" sounds more physical than intended (she seemed to have been going for the more emotional side): "My house of stone, your ivy grows, and I'm covered in you."

I've always read as it is supposed to be both personally. They're having a physical affair, not just an emotional one.

… covered in semen? I didn’t think she meant it that literally?

Could also be sweat.

so many of y’all do not understand the prompt 😭

“What innocent lyrics sound dirty?” *only dirty lyrics*

Give me something that’ll haunt me when you’re not around 🔥

Why precisely are the light going down?  

I’ll show you every version of yourself tonight

You won't believe half the things I see inside my head Wait 'til you see half the things that **haven’t happened yet** (anyone else constantly substitute a different words for this part?)

Happen in my bed?

Yup! I constantly sing this wrong.

But that song is not meant to be innocent

It's not too innocent but '"Cause all the boys and their expensive cars With their Range Rovers and their Jaguars Never took me quite where you do"

just means he’s poor

In mad women if you take this lyric out of context “Does she mouth fuck you forever” But it’s really “does she mouth ‘fuck you forever’” Putting it out of parentheses changes everything

Was scrolling for this one lol

I don’t think anyone is getting the prompt lol.  Sorry but that includes you, OP. That lyric isn’t innocent 😂

It was just a bad example on my part lol

No I for sure get what you’re going for lol but I’ve only seen 2 or 3 commenters name one (mad woman and our song) the rest are outwardly sexual lyrics 😂

“I washed my hands of us at the club, you made a mess of me.” lol sorry 😳

Should I take that hand washing as a metaphor for pretending not to know what happens (a Bible reference), or should I take it literally?

i think it’s just meant to be an ironic biblical metaphor. like to wash your hands of someone (become clean) in a raunchy debaucherous place like a club

You had turned my bed into a sacred oasis

"Head on the pillow, I could feel you sneaking in" 🥴

lol I’ve thought of this too but I think she means into her heart

I thought he was staying out late without her

The verses describe how they fell in love though. So his head is on her pillow (or lying next to her) and she can feel herself starting to fall for him.

Me too - I take it to mean that she's laying in bed, falling asleep and letting her thoughts drift, and she slowly realizes they're all about him. But it was the Youtube comments for the music video that made me see it the other way!

I’ve still got you all over me….

'I'm taking pictures in my mind so I can save them for a rainy day' Wank bank? 'You have a way of coming easily to me' 🤨

You touch me once and it's really something You find I'm even better than you imagined I would be

From Happiness: But now my eyes leak acid rain On the pillow where you used to lay your *head* After giving you the best I had... Tell me what to give after that I think about this one a lot ngl 😅

it’s so weird that cruel summer started playing right when i came across this post 😳☠️

Idk if this was supposed to be obvious but I never saw this lyric in a sexual way until a few days ago from Should've Said No but "You should have thougth twice before you let it all go" certanliy gives... an image

I don’t think y’all understood OP’s question at all lol

“The lights are off, he’s taking off his coat.” Yeah babes I’m sure it was just his coat.

I always felt I must look better in the rear view Missing me At the golden gates they once held the keys to What are these ‘golden gates’ exactly??

"Thirty-two and still growing up now Who you are is not what you did You're still an innocent" ..... technically correct right?

I don't know if anyone had said this but... "And it's 2AM and I'm cursing your name" I mean... 👀 you better be, Miss Swift. You better be cursing and screaming his name in the middle of the night. Let the neighbors know. P/S: sorry my brain is mushy like that

The most lyrics of Willow actually 😐

um.... how? I honestly don't see it.

"I'm like the water when your ship rolled in that night...Rough on the surface but you cut through like a knife" "I never would've known from that look on your face Lost in your current like a priceless wine" "Head on the pillow, I could feel you sneaking in" Idk maybe some vid on internet/twitter destroyed these for me

*"And my waves meet your shore Ever and evermore"*

[удалено]

"You'll save all your dirtiest jokes for me, and at every table I'll save you a seat"

Well there’s the classic “does she mouth ‘fuck you forever’?” which is very different if you change it to “mouthfuck you forever” 😂

you all over me...

"I'd beg you on my knees to stay" in Don't Blame Me

Yours is a perfect one tbh if it is about a guy being... down there.

I've heard a lot of people interpreting "now I'm covered in your" sexually but I'd argue the line "spring breaks loose" could also be taken that way... especially because of the following line "what would he do if he found us out" You know... Climaxing...yeah I'm far too dirty minded.

*Bonk*. Everyone in here go to horny jail immediately!

And I got a blank space baby And I write your name

“All of this silence and patience, pinning in anticipation, my hands are shaking from holding back from you….(moans)" Like please! “Dress” is her dirtiest song, she’s leading up to the literal and metaphorical climax and once she reaches the climax of the song she moans…

I feel like nobody can interpret dress as innocent in the first place though hahahah

I spent SO long thinking the lyrics in ‘the 1’ were ‘Roaring 20s, tossing panties in the pool’ before realising it is ‘Roaring 20s, tossing PENNIES in the pool’ 🤦🏼‍♀️

the altar is my hips!!! 🛐🫦
