Happy Taylor Swift New Album Day, folks.
While we all want to pretend like we’re way too mature to listen to her music, you also can’t deny you wish you could take your break-up story and turn it into a number #1 hit too. I mean, how hard is it to put the words “We are never ever getting back together” to music? Why didn’t I think of that?
What makes her obnoxiously brilliant? She sneaks in and steals our stories from our journals. Right? Or something like that…
Example:
“‘cuz when you’re fifteen and somebody tells you they love you, you’re gonna believe them”- Fifteen [excuse me, how did she know that?]
“you made a rebel of a careless man’s careful daughter” – Mine [it’s like she sat in on your counseling session.]
“This night is sparkling, don’t you let it go. I’m wonderstruck, blushing all the way home. I’ll spend forever wondering if you knew. I was enchanted to meet you.” –Enchanted [just when you thought your secret was safe with your best friend..]
“But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts. She’s cheer captain and I’m on the bleachers. Dreaming ’bout the day when you wake up and find that what you’re lookin’ for has been here whole time.” – You Belong With Me [hello, high school flashbacks.]
“You are an expert at sorry and keeping lines blurry. Never impressed by me acing your tests. All the girls that you’ve run dry have tired, lifeless eyes ’cause you’ve burn them out.” – Dear John [and you thought YOU were angry? ]
“You’re a redneck heartbreak who’s really bad at lying.” – Picture to Burn [unfortunately in some parts of this country, “redneck” is not an insult.]
Well played, TSwift. Well played. Cheers to the release of “Red”.
And friends if you’re going through a break-up, look out. You’ve now got some new lyrics to use in your social media retaliation.
ALSO for some extra entertainment… if you haven’t seen this hilarious video of a guy trying to pick up girls using Taylor Swift lyrics than you’re missing out. Thanks to the friends that sent this over knowing it would be excellent blog material 🙂
