While many of us were bored at home during quarantine, Taylor Swift has managed to keep herself quite busy during quarantine.
Last week, Taylor surprised us all with the midnight release of her newest album, 'folklore'. This album shows us a different side of Taylor as it is very different from her album 'Lover' that she released last summer. If I'm being honest, I feel like almost every album that Taylor has released has a different sound to it that reveals a different side of her. 'Folklore' reveals a darker side as many of the songs are about past lovers and relationships. For some, this album can be difficult to get into because of the sound. Personally, I do really like this album, but it is not my favorite of hers. However, it is a pleasant surprise that we all needed in 2020.
Here are 20 of my favorite lyrics in most of the songs from her album:
1. And if you wanted me, you really should've showed - "the one"
2. And if you never bleed, you're never gonna grow - "the one"
3. And when I felt like I was an old cardigan under someone's bed, you put me on and said I was your favorite - "cardigan"
4. You drew stars around my scars but now I'm bleeding - "cardigan"
5. Who knows, if I never showed up what could've been - "the last great american dynasty"
6. August slipped away into a moment of time 'cause it was never mine - "august"
7. I remember thinkin' I had you - "august"
8. You're not my homeland anymore - "exile"
9. Love you to the moon and to Saturn - "seven"
10. You'll find me on my tallest tiptoes spinning on my highest heels, love, shining just for you - "mirrorball"
11. I've never been a natural, all I do is try - "mirrorball"
12. I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting" - "this is me trying"
13. You're a flashback in a film reel - "this is me trying"
14. Hell was a journey but it brought me heaven - "invisible string"
15. You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else - "illicit affairs"
16. Watching you climb over people like me - "mad woman"
17. Watch you breath in, watch you breath out - "epiphany"
18. I'm a fire and I'll keep your brittle heart warm - "peace"
19. Don't want no other shade of blue but you - "hoax"
20. I didn't have it in myself to go with grace 'cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave - "my tears ricochet"
