@AllySheehan The incorrect lyrics that I first heard in Blank Space were "Gotta love these Starbucks lovers they'll tell you I'm insane"
@@13tayswift13 I used to hear it as "go talk to my ex lovers"
Incredible video ❤ hope Taylor see’s this 🙌🏼
I learned about Diana Agron which was a first. I feel like she disappeared when reputation happened though.
I was very busy that time in my life so I definitely missed some of the finer details and missed the concert 😢
Totally down for another 1989 video. This was the era that I fell in love with her.
YESSSSS to the TS Fashion breakdown video. Cannot wait for that.
I love how it’s 1hour 13 minutes and 13 seconds 🩵
And 1+1+3+1+3 = 9
Same❤ also when you pointed it out I would never relise if you hadn’t pointed it out
hehe thank you for noticing!! messed up my end screen but i couldn't resist 🫶
Tell me you are swiftie whitout telling me you are a swiftie
My lil baby sass ❤
“the monsters turned out to be just trees” as a person with anxiety this lyric just HITS how when you anxious everything around you can feel and look different
That was me just a couple hours ago.. so true
even though being in those eras has “passed”, I would still love to see videos like this for lover, folklore, evermore, midnights, fearless (tv), red (tv), and as you said, the eras soon to come! it’s just nice having a little time capsule that explains so much cool and fun info about taylor during each era! even eras I was there to experience, I’d still watch/listen about them again!! 🤩
I completely agree 🤍😊
YES OMG
"heartbreak is the national anthem we sing it proudly" explains her career and why she has so many fans. its a fact that a lot of people would like her to stop describing herself as a victim of men, I guess those people feel like being heartbroken is a weakness and they don't like to be reminded of their weakness and don't understand why she would talk about it to millions of people, but taylor takes pride in the vulnerability cause she knows love is always worth it, she's not afraid of pain, she knows it's a part of life and she even thinks it's kinda beautiful, thus "please leave me stranded, it's so romantic" and that's why it's my favorite 1989 song.
My little swiftie twins are 10, and were babies when this album was released - giving this video to them as homework before 10/27 😆
I love your videos Dr. Jones!!! Thank you for all that you do. 🫶💙
Hey! Mama DR Jones is here!!
First Jarvis Johnson, now Ally!!
Haha I’m doing this with my mom cause I made her a swiftie when midnights came out lol
Love this! And love all your videos!
The lyric “You forgive, you forget, but you never let it go.” Is just amazing. It really symbolizes how just because someone says sorry or you push it away from your mind doesn’t mean that it doesn’t still hurt and that you don’t still want revenge
I’m definitely also feeling nervous about her uprise in popularity again. We’re doomed to repeat history and I really hope her 1989 downfall doesn’t happen again😢
Same 🥺🙏🏻
history doesn’t repeat, it rhymes. taylor has learned a lot and she’s stronger now. she can get through anything im sure of it
You jinxed it bro, taylor loses monthly listeners as The Weeknd gains them.
My favourite lyric has to be "boys only want love if it's torture, don't say I didn't warn ya," it's so simple but so powerful. I still remember I was 11 when this song came out, and I was in the car with my friend and her mum, who said "girls listen to this lyric - it's true". At the time I had no idea what it meant, but now I know she was so right!
wow that's so iconic of your friends mum
@@AllySheehan Thank you for always being such an amazing content creator, always making all of your friends like they are welcome and for taking time out of your day to do videos like this. It helps everyone!
I haven't come to the realization yet. What does it mean?
Ally...I actually have no words. You have such a gift with this. I know it's something that can be overlooked and not taken super seriously but you're actually so talented and the work and focus and deep knowledge it takes to make videos like this is amazing. You're my hero 🫶
Oh that is so kind! Thank you for taking the time to write me such lovely words Vanessa. I really appreciate it!!
Also, feeling brave. Album ranking (changes day by day and I love all these albums deeply):
1. Midnights
2. evermore
3. reputation
4. Fearless TV
5. Red TV
6. folklore
7. 1989
8. Speak Now TV
9. Lover
10. Debut
@@VanessaTS28that is brave, but I LOVE the top 4, I respect it immensely
@@libbyf51 Haha thank you! I think the top 4 are all my number 1 if I'm being honest. Are you feeling brave? I'd love to see your ranking
@@VanessaTS28you are brave for putting Midnights first
My favorite lyric from 1989 is “one night he wakes, strange look on his face pauses and says, you’re my best friend and you knew what it was, he is in love.” It’s my favorite because whenever I hear the line it always reminds me that love isn’t just saying “I love you” being in love with someone can be interpreted by other sayings. Like if you are too scared or don’t know how to express yourself. But you just know. This line gets me every time. Can’t wait for Taylor’s Version😩🩵
😍😍😍
Well said ❤
This is my fav song of the album. ❤❤❤
“When people make art, other people make art.” So true. Taylor’s songs have heavily inspired the books I’ve written. She’s just amazing.
As someone who was a fan of Taylor's during debut and fearless, and then dropped off because I was going through my own stuff only to come back for Midnights and not understanding the lore behind much of her work now. Thank you SO much for these videos. It makes me appreciate her and her music so much more.
you are so welcome!!! did you get to see the video explaining this era too?
@@AllySheehan I have! 🥰
When I was 22 I moved to NYC. The week leading up to me moving I used to drive around in my car and play “Welcome To New York” on repeat and cry over how overwhelmed with excitement I felt.
So yes, the “every millennial woman who has moved to NY after this album has come out has played this song at some point” statement is so TRUE that I had to giggle.
I met my ex boyfriend that first year in NYC. I just broke up with him last week after spending 8 years together. I’m definitely looking forward to 1989 TV.
wowww i am so proud for you and 1989 TV is coming just in time
right off the bat, the intro was SPECTACULAR
thank you so much!!!
I was addicted to drugs and alcohol for most of taylor's career so I was otherwise occupied until late 2019. Although I remember absolutely loving reputation i was not into any lore or anything. Got sober in late 2019 and when she dropped folklore I suddenly got a new addiction and now I think I'm in a cult. I really appreciate all the educated swifties sharing their wisdom with us who came late to the party 💜🙏🏼
Congrats on getting sober!
"I won't give in
Now that I'm clean, I'm never gonna risk it"
Keeps me stronger than anything I ever heard in AA.
💙 sober swiftie
Yes girl! 9/20/2011 finally stopped killing myself. Folklore awakened my soul. Congrats! Just keep going!!
Congratulations on sobriety! And hey, of all the cults to be in, this isn’t a bad one.
One of my fav lyrics ever, both from 1989 and her whole discography is "the rest of the world was black and white, but we were in screamin colors." such a poetic way to descibe being in love and feeling on top of the world💕
"I must admit, just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it" because that's one of her most real vulnerable lyrics. Thanks for this incredible video Ally, I've been a fan since forever but still didn't know (or I forgot lol) a thing or two. Always looking forward to these videos of yours!!
That's my favorite too..... And the lyrics that follows " Now that i am clean I'm never gonna risk it" Those words give me so much strength..... I don't know if it makes sense to others but to me it is realisation of self worth
I was never a ‘you are in love’ girly but that line ‘and why I’ve spent my whole life trying to put it into words’ is INSANE to me and sums up Taylor’s entire career - so much of what she writes about is deep rooted in love and experiencing love whether good or bad, I was floored the first time I really fathomed that line 🫶🏻
you’re the only reason why i got into taylor swift because of the song breakdowns and lore. PLEASE continue to do them!
omg that makes me so happy!!
“Clear blue water high tide came and brought you in, then , currents swept you out again” is perfect to me because of how relatable it is in my own life. And the fact that it’s such a clear picture that demonstrates that feeling and is about the ocean which is like my favorite place. It sets up the song to be perfect in my eyes
Agreed. There's this song by Chelsea Wolfe called "The Waves Have Come" and it's this devastating song about grief and loss, and if you love Taylor and songwriting you should check it out (and her whole discography).
The song goes through all the stages of grief from desperation and denial to acceptance. And it culminates with the line "The waves have come and taken you to sea, never to return to me, never to return to me, never to return to me"
God that song is amazing. That whole bridge/outro. Anyway yes, on the topic of the ocean bringing things and taking them away, that made me think of it
How do people skip Welcome to New York?? It makes me smile everytime I hear it, I cannot not dance to it. Thank you, Ally, for this masterpiece of a video, loved every second of it, I could listen to this for 3 more hours. ♥
i could dance to this bEEEEeaaat forevermore!!! like come on 😭❤️
It's so rude
“Just grab my hand and don’t ever drop it my love they are the hunters we are the foxes”
The dropping of the hand is something that I picked up after red Taylor’s version. Just how significant it was and then her comparing herself to a fox is also great because of how far ahead of the media she is when it came to the relationships
My favourite lyrics from 1989 I think is "the lights are so bright but they never blind me", the way she says that part I love it but I also love how it represents having your life changing but you enjoy that, it's not something bad and she knows it
1989 is a lyrical masterpiece!! “The whole world was back and white but we were in screaming color” AHHHH!! Taylor describing love as colors has to be my favorite thing in the world!
My favourite lyric from 1989 is “we show off our different scarlet letters, trust me, mine is better”. It sums up everything that the media was saying about Taylor’s dating life and just how women are portrayed in general. Taylor’s ownership of it as well just hits me on a different level. It’s so simple but so powerful, and I never see anyone mention it
my fav 1989 lyric is def. "The best people in life are free", because this encapsulates what 1989 means to me: the growth and maturing of the growing up.
“Cause baby I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream” is such an iconic line and every time I hear it, it just makes me so happy, I love her embracing the joke and making something truly iconic out of it 🤩
“Ten months sober, I must admit/ just because you’re clean doesn’t mean you don’t miss it”
I'm truly captivated by these lyrics because they beautifully convey the idea that even after moving on, one can't help but revisit the past. The effort poured into a relationship, only to see it wither away, is heartbreakingly depicted in lines like "the drought was the very worst/when the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst." It's a sentiment many can relate to in their own experiences.
The song not only captures the longing for the one who's departed but also serves as a personal reminder that healing is a choice and heartbreak is temporary, as highlighted in "so I punched a hole in the roof/let the flood carry away all the pictures of you." Despite being "clean," the memories persist, leaving a bittersweet nostalgia.
I completely share your excitement for "Clean Taylor's Version." It's such a powerful song that connects with the idea of taking life one day at a time, and it's not always an easy journey. The lyrics that hit home for me are when she mentions, "you’re still all over me/like a wine stain dress I can’t wear it anymore." It's a striking comparison because just like a stubborn stain on a piece of clothing, some memories seem impossible to fade.
In my interpretation, her closing line, "I THINK I’m finally clean," suggests that on the surface, she might appear to have moved on, but deep down, those memories still linger in the layers of her being. Over time, she learns to either let them go or keep them in the past.
The speech she gives in the reputation tour before she’s performs Clean about the weight of criticism and negative words resonates here. It's like feeling that these words are written all over you, but that moment when you realize you are not defined by the opinions of people who don't know or care about you is transformative. It encourages a deeper understanding of one's self-worth and promotes self-acceptance, independent of external judgments. Taylor Swift's lyrics and words provide powerful insights into a persons experience and self-discovery.
AND ITS THE 13 TRACK ON 1989 🩵🩵🩵
“The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud but no one heard a thing”. A lyric that has always stuck with me. That’s a feeling I know all too well 😉 but was never able to articulate it into words before. It makes me feel better when I experience that, knowing someone else knows how that feels.
New Romantics is my favorite song in 1989. “Heartbreak is the national anthem, we sing it proudly” is just perfection. I don’t know if anyone else feels this but if Blank Space was written for the character the media was portraying Taylor to be like, New Romantics was Taylor’s actual take on that stage of her life. New Romantics is truly an anthem and it makes me emotional to listen to it because it was her having fun with her friends, experiencing different forms on love, and everyone was judging her for simply LIVING! Yet, it still retains some of the cheekiness of Blank Space. I think people (and the media) tend to downplay the legitimacy of “short-lived” relationships, specially if you are a woman. This song is just a celebration of uncertainty, love, experimenting and living outside of what many think is recklessness. @jennymurcia6 🩵
18:42 Wow, she went from memes saying they wish she would admit "maybe I am the problem" to Anti-Hero, "It's me, hi, I'm the problem, it's me." People in the media don't realize how much they truly affect her.
P.S. - Love you Ally, you're my fav swiftie youtuber!!
I think that every line of style is perfection, but the bridge of wonderland "you searched the world for something else to make you feel like what we had, but in the end in wonderland we both went mad" really sums up the entire album message/relationship so perfectly. Especially as wonderland is so upbeat and that bridge and her whoooaaaaaa back up into the chorus feels like it represents how even though the lyrics are depicting something typically pretty sad, that this era was actually a blast for her and she loved being single and her positive reflection on the relationship despite it being messy. Those lyrics and wonderland generally just really capture this story so well!!! My fave 100%
I agree wonderland is such a bittersweet song and basically sums up the album
And the parallel to Question..?’s
“Does it feel like everything's just like second-best after that
Meteor strike?
And what's that, that I heard, that you're still with her
That's nice, I'm sure that's what's suitable” 👀
yessss wonderland is so underrated i *love* that line!!
you slayed with the editing on that intro ally omg
thank you love!!!
"The rest of the world was black and white, but we were in screaming colors " is just such a perfect metaphor. You know the feeling of listening to the song for the first time and you try to understand the lyrics, and then a line just hits you out of nowhere.. That line put into the words what i was feeling and the time, so it's always gonna be my favorite from 1989💙💙💙
The lyric “something happens when everybody finds out” is by far my favorite on the album. It’s so representative of how a relationship can change from when it’s just you two to when it’s everyone you know. When you and your partner are the only person to know about your relationship, it feels freeing and fun, like nobody can judge you about it. But when everyone knows, it’s like there will always be someone telling you you’re doing something wrong with the relationship. I love the way that such a simple line can convey such an important message.

~~~1989 is my favorite taylor album, but lowkey tied with rep and folklore. this album is so incredible, especially as a harry STANNN and huge directioner. i've been watching ally since red tv and i literally have never felt more seen as a swiftie. i've learned so much about taylor and her lyricism, style *wink,* and history. please like this so ally can see it! would love a pin so everybody can use these timestamps. happy swiftober

“And you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars, and why I’ve spent my whole life trying to put it into words”
I feel like we got such a clear image of Taylor as she was then, and who she’ll always be with that lyric 🥹
“All you had to do was stay”- this is such a simple lyric but in relationships, if you want to make it work bad enough, you’d stay. I personally resonate with this song so so much.
Thank you so much Ally, every time you post a Taylor video, it gets me so excited for all her albums. With your input and parallels, it’s always like I’m listening to her songs in a new way!❤️❤️❤️
you know what your comment made me think of..... "all you had to do was stay"...... "sometimes walking out is the one thing that will find you the right thing"....... am I a clown for this
@@nessie7306 no you’re not a clown at all! It’s so true. As corny and over-said this may be- what’s yours is meant to be yours. My mum always says when you walk away and it still comes back to you, it’s yours. She uses a kite as an analogy, if you undo the roll of cord, the kite goes further away from you. But if it belongs to you, it’ll return to you when you’ve taken some cord back. Otherwise, it’ll snap under pressure and fly away.
‘The best people in life are free’
This has to be my favourite line as it’s just so direct to the fans and those lines are always my fav! It’s such a perfect closing line to the greatest pop album of all time and it just speaks to me on another level. I’ve always got this line in the back of my head and it’s just perfection chefs kiss
Love u Ally 💗💗
“you always knew how to push my buttons ; you give me everything and nothing” and “they take their shots but we’re bullet prof ; and you know for me it’s always you” literally scratches my brain right EVERY time omg
2:16
ok, feeling slightly brave at the moment, so my album ranking is
1) Folklore
2) Red
3) 1989
4) Evermore
5) Speak Now
6) Reputation
7) Midnights
8) Fearless
9) Lover
10) Debut
why was this the hardest thing i’ve ever done
"Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean" is my favorite lyric from this entire album! I started being a huge Taylor fan after my first breakup, which was a long-term relationship. This song helped me so much throughout my healing process, and I cannot thank her enough for creating songs that have such relatable and healing lyrics.
I love your videos so much! Thanks for being like a "big sis", you are such a comfort person in my life.
"Life was never worse but never better" is so perfect to me, I love how it can be two words that are opposite at the same time. I think it's a nice acknowledgement that not because something is going wrong in life means that everything is wrong, it can be good and bad and you can still enjoy it despite bad things happening.
"You can hear it in the silence" and also "You understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars, and why I've spent my whole life trying to put it into words" from You Are In Love.
It's my all time favorite song of Taylor and it just feels like a bg hug. And also just the kind of reassuring feeling that she gives you by saying that she's also struggling to put this crazy feeling into words or just grasp this feeling makes you feel better. I'm just waiting for the right time to post someone with this song lol.
@irizar_nora
My absolute favorite lyric in the whole 1989 album has to be "Ten months sober, I must admit; Just because you're clean, don't mean you don't miss it. Ten months older, I won't give in; now that I'm clean, I'm never gonna miss it", not only because how these lyrics represet such a interesting dynamic of knowing that something is not good for you, but still being kinda nostalgic about it, but also because of that clip where she perfomes this song after telling the crowd her story about the SA court case. Absolutely incredible
“Had me in the palm of your hand/ Why’d you have to go and lock me out when I let you in?”
I love this lyric because it really explains how you can be completely vulnerable in a relationship and love unconditionally, and sometimes that person isn’t ready to reciprocate those feelings.
Hi Ally! This is such a great well researched, well edited video! Thank you for your commitment to this community. I’ve always been a Taylor Swift fan, but you were the entry door to a deeper knowledge of her lyrics and I’ll be forever grateful for that 🩵
My favourite lyrics from 1989 is “Cause baby, I could build a castle out of all the bricks they threw at me” because for me, it perfectly reflects Taylor’s extremely mature attitude torward the media and criticism. We are so lucky to experience her at the peak of her career, and it makes me reflect about the numeorus times she could have just decided to stop and not give any more material to the haters. Instead, she built an empire out of grace, humility, talent and hard work. That’s one of the things I most admire about her and why I'm so proud to be a Swiftie!
"you can hear it the silence" from you are in love might be my favourite lyric just because its so beautiful and unlike the rest of the album, it's about a love that you know is there, there's no questioning and its what we all aspire to have aah i just love it
I just wanted to comment on here to thank you for always making me feel safe I don't know what it is but your videos are just everything and this comment is nothing to do with 1989 but I just had to say it I appreciate you so much. Thank you for keeping making these videos. I would love to see more for rep and debut when they are coming out 💜
This means so much to me, I’m so glad you feel safe and welcome here ❤❤
I agree. I recently am really struggling with anxiety and you videos are the highlight of my day ❤
This albums contains too many amazing and iconic lyrics, but I must say the bridge of “This Love” is really special for me. Especially the lyrics “When you’re young, you just run but you come back to what you need.” are incredibly special for me. Because it incredibly and accurately conveys the desperation but also the hope that you feel the person you love is going to come back to you even though it’s never gonna happen. This lyric contains both despair and an optimistical hope, and that’s why it’s really special.
Yesss that’s my fav song from 1989
The bridge of This Love is amazing!! Confession : many of the non singles on 1989 I haven't heard until a few months ago so it's been quite the journey experiencing them, and This Love has quickly become one of my faves. The "I fell...to my knees!!" part I can't help but sing along to every time I listen gahhhhh it's *chef's kiss *
“took our broken hearts and put them in a drawer” is my favorite lyric because i just love the thought of being able to have fun and forget about things that bring you down ( also i love atw )
Hi, as a (relatively) new Swiftie I'm very gratefull for all your album breakdowns 😅 My favourite lyrics from 1989 is “’Cause baby I could build a castle, out of all the bricks they threw at me. And every day is like a battle, but every night with us is like dream”. It describes so well how she took all the scrutiny (or just plain rudeness) the world put on her, and in some way build a strong foundation in spite, or even because of it. And yes, it is hard, a battle, every day; but she has found the right people around her to help her. As someone who was treated… unpleasantly since the day people realised she was just a little different, this feels quite relatable (at 23, still building that castle though; and not totally found the right ‘us’ yet). Gives me hope.
"When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst"
It is one of my favorite lyrics on this album, I feel that it covers very well the feeling of leaving someone behind after everything they built together, due to lack of responsibility on both of them. It also reminds me to always water my plants.
It is SO hard to pick a favorite lyric. I think the chorus of You Are In Love just speaks to me on a spiritual level. “You can hear it in the silence” gives me CHILLS
As a New York girlie, I love "searching for a sound we hadn't heard before" in "Welcome to New York". It's simple, but totally captures the feeling of adventure and ambition in the air of NYC!
My fav lyrics from 1989 is “cause baby I could build a castle out of all the bricks they threw at me” btw I’m obsessed with all your Taylor vids💖
I love the lyric “And so it goes, you two are dancing in a snow globe round and round” Such a pretty visual for a lyric and I LOVE how she references it in the Lover music video!💜💜💜
My favorite lyric from 1989 is probably "the rest of the world was black and white, but we were in screaming color" It's just so visual and beautiful!! Also, thank you for all the amazing taylor swift content!! 💙
THAT'S MY FAV TOO 🥺
that's my favorite too !!
"The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud
But no one heard a thing" this always leaves ache in my heart when I hear Clean i remember her performance in the rep tour and cry every single time this song is very closely attached to me it gives me the strength I need all the time every taylor swift song does that to me we stan QUEEN and I'm so thankful that I'm born at taylor swift era💙💙💙💙💙
Your videos always gives be so many unknown facts girl your doing great keep doing love your videos and thank you for educating us cant wait for 1989(Taylor's version) and your reaction video💙💙💙💙💙
my favorite lyric from 1989, and maybe even by far, is “when the butterflies turned to dust, they covered my whole room” because of how insanely true that is. when something like that happens to you, it takes up your entire life. everywhere you go, everything you do, something somehow will remind you of that hurt. i love the dust metaphor because dust is something that if you get even just a little bit on you, it stays for awhile, you have to put in so much effort to rid yourself from it; to become clean. and she did. im actually going to need 5-7 business days to recover from clean (taylor’s version)
At the stairs of heaven taylors’s version of ootw will be playing on the background
This video is how i find out it’s not ”stand back wasted” but ”stand back where you stood”
My favourite lyric is “two paper airplanes flying flying flying” because it shows that this fragile love just kept going but it was slowly falling 🤍🤍🤍
I am HERE for the track five on this album, All You Had to Stay! I have always been so obsessed with this song. Everyone gave this track a skip when the album came out and it was an immediate favorite!
“People like you always want back the love they pushed aside, but people like me are gone forever when you say goodbye.” is my favorite lyric from the song. It’s such a powerful reminder of how strong one can be to accept closure and stay strong within one’s own solitude or solace, even when people change their mind! It’s a song about forcing someone to hold someone accountable to their actions! Wistful acceptance is the feeling.

That's my favorite lyric too!!
My favorite lyric from the album is probably "'Cause baby I could build a castle, out of all the bricks they threw at me" because it shows not only Taylor's perseverance and confidence in being herself amidst all of this terrible media attention, but also that she will quite literally continue to build her empire by using that negative attention in the best way possible. It also reminds me that if someone hates you or targets you or spreads rumors about you, you can go and live in your castle instead of listening to them. I really love New Romantics in general, as a newer Swiftie I think it's my favorite song off the album (except for maybe Style and Out of the Woods)
“The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud
But no one heard a thing”
I found this song during a very vulnerable time and I really resonated with this lyric. I remember almost feeling like I would never be 100% clean of this person I liked for so long and even some friends that did me wrong. This song kind of reminded me that I could push through these difficult months and finally be clean.
"And in the end, in Wonderland, we both went mad" & "You're still all over me like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore" are some of my favorites, but like, can you really choose when it comes to a taylor swift album? the Wonderland line is the perfect metaphor for a relationship and the world you create when you enter a new relationship because it demonstrates how an important thing in your life at a given time also can be so demanding and frustrating that you literally feel like you've gone mad - and at the same time you know it was worth it because it was wonderland
there are seriously so many amazing lyrics on this album...from "the monsters turned out to be just trees" (such a perfect depiction of anxiety!!) to "when i was drowning, that's when i could finally breathe" but one that always makes me super happy is "the lights are so bright, but they never blind me" ✨ sometimes what a girl needs is just a song to feel like the main character 😮💨
My favorite lyric is “the rest of the world was black and white, but we were in screaming color!” The delivery of this line in the song is iconic and and love the imagery of it! Thank you so much for another amazing video I always look forward to them!
“The monsters turned out to be just trees” always stuck with me as a good reminder that things aren’t as scary as I build them up to be in my mind. Also, the “click” noise in blank space is just epic in saying so much with a single sound
One of my favorite lyrics is: "cause baby I could build a castle out of all the bricks they threw at me" I love this so much because it is so true, in many situations she has turned negative comments about her and found a way to own them and especially during reputation how she made snakes be her thing and take all of that and make such a wonderful album off of it(BTW I WOULD LOVE IF YOU CONTINUED THESE VIDEOS BECAUSE THEY HAVE SUCH GOOD INFORMATION AND IM SO GLAD I FOUND YOU CHANNEL) 🩷
"let the flood carry away all my pictures of you. the water filled my lungs i screamed so loud but no one heard a thing. the rain came pouring down, when i was drowning that's when i could finally breathe" has always been my favourite 1989 lyric since it holds so much resemblance and significance in my life. not only as somebody who has been through a flood and stuck in flood waters and whose been struggling ever since, but also as somebody whose greatest tragedy brang the clearest clarity. as somebody who struggled silently for the longest time, left endless signs that nobody ever saw, this/these lyrics will hold a special place in my mosaic broken heart that is learning to live with the pain, forever and always.
Thank you so much for helping late swifties to more understand some of the story behind these lovely songs.
I love the lyric "I can see the end, as it begins" from Wildest Dreams (tv). I feel like this lyric really does capture not just the whole relationship, but this entire album. A relationship that both of them know isn't going to work out, but they still go through with it anyways.
my fav lyric from 1989 is "the rain came pouring down when I was drowning that's when I could finally breathe" because it is such a beautiful motif for having to go through hardship to heal.
THE INTRO WAS SOOO GOOD ALLY
I would 100% get New Romantics’ “life is just a classroom” tattooed on me. This song is such a quintessential description of how millenials are / were and how we approach love and life.
The lyric just reminds me that we are on this earth to learn above anything else. From our experiences, from each other. And double metaphor about how superficial life can be and how even in adulthood you deal with same things as in school, just on a grander and more mature scale.
I cannot WAIT, cannot WAIT for New Romantics (Taylor’s Version).
Thanks for keeping us company with your content. 🫶
In blank space the lyrics I heard were “ got along with Starbucks lovers”😂😂😂
my all time favorite 1989 lyric is “cause baby, I could build a castle/ out of all the bricks they threw at me” i love how it ties into the imagery from the fairytale that is fearless and then castles crumbling from speak now. taylor has always used a lot of castle imagery showing how her idea of a perfect fairytale came crashing down so she had to make her own. she uses the imagery again in reputation with a more dark fantasy mood. the world she built for herself was taken from her seemingly overnight. she kept clinging on to the fairytale she thought her life should be
"All you had to do was stay" is my absolute favourite of 1989. I love the parallels between Harry Styles lyrics and the lyrics in this song. This song is just beautiful in every single way. When I heard the acoustic version, I almost cried. It's just unbelievable how Taylor Swift can make such sad lyrics into a pop classic.
Ally, I'm 0:34 seconds in the video and already I'm blown away. This is an ode to Taylor Swift and 1989. Thank you! It was worth the wait! 💙
As a swiftie and directioner...I never realized how many parallels between their songs. I really appreciate the love you've shown 1989 💙
"just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it."
“The monsters turned out to be just trees” one of my favorite lyrics. So comforting and reminds me big things will be little soon
"just because you're clean don't mean you don't miss it" is just such an amazing lyric to me. as someone who has family members who have struggled with so many addictions, I just feel that lyric on a whole new level.
“This is what you wanted” because it’s so relatable because people always want you back after they break it off
My favorite lyric is " The rain came pouring down when I was drowning, that's when I could finally breath" I think it represents losing someone you love where is it be a friend or a significant. Or how when you live through tough tomes it can still make you stronger.
“Darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream” absolutely FLOORED me when I first heard it, accompanied with the iconic music video. It’s just so clever, catchy, and I definitely had that lyric as my tumblr bio for a bit😅
I was a pretty casual fan during the 1989 era, so I can’t wait to relive it all over again with her version and with more knowledge of Taylor lore🩵
Fav lyric is "right when i was drowing that's when i could finally breathe" it has alot of personal meaning to me i can't explain it❤❤
"It's a new soundtrack, I could dance to this beat forevermore" - I've only recently started listening to Taylor Swift's music, and to say it has changed me is an understatement. Her lyrics speak to me in a way that none other does. And I genuinely could dance to her music FOREVERRRR 🥰😂
My favorite is from “You are in love” “One night he wakes, Strange look on his face, Pauses, then says You're my best friend and you knew what it was, He is in love” and then later in the song she says “and why I've spent my whole life tryin' to put it into words” 😭 it’s so romantic. This was my surprise song 🩵 this video is amazing. Thank you for putting in all that work for us 🥰
My favourite 1989 song is New Romantics because it really feels like an anthem of what being a girl in her twenties feels like and I could scream that song at the top of my lungs every day
I think my fav lyric off the album would have to be midnight, you come and pick me up no headlights, purely because I feel like I could bust through a wall like the kool aid guy when I hear it
1989 was my childhood album 🥹
My favorite lyric is “It’s like I got this music in my mind saying it’s gonna be alright.”
This lyrics is special to me as it’s how Taylor’s music feels, her music comforts me and always makes me feel happy and safe.
As a Directioner, Their relationship was the reason I started listening to Taylor. And she's become my favourite ever since.

"You gave roses and I left them there to die" - Back To December
"When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst" - Clean
"All my flowers grew back as thorns" - Call It What You Want
'When the sun came up you were looking at me' It's such a beautiful lyric! I love how it's so familiar but not everyone knows the feeling behind it! And that makes it special. Whenever a bridge in a Taylor Swift song comes up, I become the dramatic I can be.. And that's how Taylor has won many people's heart and mine 💙Waiting for 1989 TV and her surprises. 💫
You are such an angel 🤍 I love what you are doing and thank you for the Everything you NEED to know videos ❤❤
"The rest of the world was black and white but we were in screaming colour” reminds me of sleepovers with friends singing at the top of our lungs and being young and free. Its such a beautiful lyric and I'm beyond excited for Taylor's version and reliving the surreal experience of listening to Out of the Woods for the first time. Cant wait for your next video ! Lots of love from Sydney!! 💜💜💜
@elaines_version
It's one of my favourite lyrics as well. There's just something magical about it.
I’m loving the light blue themed outfit girl you look stunning🤩🩵
thank you for noticing!!
