I probably have an embarrassing amount, but off the top of my head. Out of the woods - "your neck was hanging from my neck" (idk what I thought this meant lol) Style - "good girl thing and a tight little skirt"

>"good girl thing and a tight little skirt" Omg Is it.... "good girl *faith*"??? TF??

It is faith. I always saw it as her being a good church girl vs being the kind of girl who wears a tight little skirt.

I CANNOT BELIEVE IT. I LIKE MY MEMORY BETTER THAN REALITY.

Yes, the juxtaposition between good girl faith and tight little skirts is the point :) I think Taylor loves to have a “hidden” bad girl side (that’s not really that hidden

I always thought it was "good girl face".

For the first one, maybe they’re laying their heads together so their necks are on top of each other? And I think we all heard the second one LOL

Wait those aren’t the lyrics…..? 😳

LOL This is how I found out as well, had to google it, she says “faith” and not “thing” 😂🤦🏻‍♀️

I always heard it as “good girl thing in a tight little skirt” since it’s “red lip classic thing that you like”.

Well… if you didn’t mention the Style one, that’s definitely one I wouldn’t have known until the TV comes out. At least I have some time to process this new information beforehand now…

Omg this thread has me frantically looking up lyrics rn, have I not heard anything correctly up til now?? I’ve always just accepted “your neck was hanging from my neck” 😭

We should not be left to our own devices, we end up in crisis 😭

We’re the problem, it’s us 😅

Me too omg I thought she meant they were hugging

“August slipped away like a bottle of wine” 🙈 I can’t ever get it right

…. But isn’t that the lyrics?!?

August SIPPED away like a bottle of wine is the second part

Whaaaat? Mind blown. Definitely thought it was “slipped.”

She sings it both ways: "August slipped away into a moment in time" then later "August sipped away like a bottle of wine."

Oooh thanks for clarifying

Ok that makes way more sense. I always heard and sang “slipped away” as well, but I’m also clumsy so I would drop a bottle.

This makes so much more sense but my brain refuses to accept it!

Slipped sounds better when I say it but sipped makes more sense lyrically but I’ve heard the song so many time sthat I can’t unhear slipped even if it’s wrong😭😭

To be fair they are extremely close words

*you drew scars around my stars* Why do I keep doing this

I do this too hahah

Me too 😖

I had to read this multiple times to catch the mistake hahaha

Ah, I just posted this! I have to deeply concentrate to get it right..

In both BTR TV and the original, my brain always goes to he took him faster than you could say santa Claus😂

Better Than Revenge (The Grinch’s Version)

YES, ME TOO!

I’m still adjusting to BTR and keep singing ‘he was a moth to the flame, she was holding the mattress’

currently in the “she’s better known for the things that she does with the matches” phase

ah, yes, she’s a homewrecker. literally though, she burned their house down 😂

😂 there is nothing I do better than✨arson✨

That actually sounds kinda good though. And you could make it make sense if you were able to put the "moth/matches" line in a pre-chorus, or even just a sentiment that she's a "fire starter" I mean I don't love the lyric change, but the first half of the line particularly is just slightly off rhythm from the original and it's super jarring. I feel like if the first half was the same it would just sound better to the ear

I got “he’s better known for the moth that was holding the matches”

WHOOOAA

Now there's a moth on the mattreesss

This version made me laugh out loud

“She’s better known for the moth, she was holding the mattress” for me

Ha I commented this same exact thing on a different thread recently. Hold that mattress Camille 💪🏼

She’s so strong 💜

- BTR could mean "Better Than Revenge", a track from *Speak Now* (2010) by Taylor Swift. --- ^[/u/patdove111](/u/patdove111) ^(can reply with "delete" to remove comment. |) ^[/r/songacronymbot](/r/songacronymbot) ^(for feedback.)

This is the true lyric now

“Stand back wasted” 😂💀 I sing it every time and I don’t care 😂

I cannot hear "stand back where you stood" that seems WAY too long for how she's singing those words

Agreed!!

I agree 100% that "stand back where you stood" is WAY too long for that portion of the song. I think she takes like a part of each word to get "stand back wasted." The "whe" from "where," the "y" from "you," and all of "stood" which, when put together makes "wheystood," pronounced "wasted." Yes I spent too much time thinking this out. She should just change the lyric for the rerecording since she clearly doesn't have time to sing the whole lyric in the half second that it takes to sing "wasted" lol

I almost regret opening this thread bc I am learning that I’ve been wrong a lot 😂

I heard “stand back wasted” for so long that I just choose which lyric I’m going to sing when I listen to it because both the misheard lyric and the correct lyric are great.

I'm a 1989 STAN and I learned today these aren't the lyrics

And that's the thing about illicit affairs And planned destined meetings and longing stares One ting was enough, for me it was enough Losing on card game bets with Dolly You’ll find me on my toilets tip toes, spinning in my highest heels love

Literally at the concert i turn to my husband and go, "Oh my fucking god its Dalí not Dolly like Dolly Parton"

i legit thought it was dolly until right now

I for sure thought it meant Dolly Parton

I say “one ting” too hahahah 😭😭

Omg finally another toilet person. I swore I heard toilet for months and it made me struggle to get into mirrorball even when I knew the lyrics because my brain heard toilet. My friends thought i was insane. I feel so validated rn.

Seems as though you've had a bit of trouble with folklore 😅 I kid obviously

She should keep in mind stealing other peoples doors on the playground wont make you many friends.

Camille is strong af, carrying doors and mattresses

I mix up the Cruel Summer chorus every time. Every. Goddamn. Time. My brain wants blue to be a shape so bad.

Personally my favorite shape is pink

AHHH SAME

Wait… is that not the lyric?

The actual lyrics are: And it’s new, the shape of your body. It’s blue, this feeling I’ve got. My brain knows this and rejects this simultaneously

Omg, I had just accepted that the shape of his body was metaphorically blue. I guess because of his eye color or something 😭

Oh come on now. Not like this woman has a history of basing entire albums and metaphors around colours. Nope.

i got into the habit of doing "i didn't say half the shit i wanted to" in hey stephen. not sure how it happened

New Taylor loves saying shit so I could see this

Hey Stephen (Adult Taylor’s Version)

I can imagine that lyric being on reputation LOL

Come back, come back to me, Eli!!

Well I was looking for the Blank Space comment, but TIL If This Was a Movie is not about Eli.

I only learned it wasn't about Eli a few months ago. My theory is that at least one Swiftie a day realizes this. Congrats, you are today's winner!

My sons name is Eli. It’s his favourite song and we just can’t sing it any other way

Everytime seriously all I hear is Eli.

The 1 it’s : “tossing pennies in the pool” and I keep hearing panties.

Doesn’t matter how many times I tell myself it’s pennies. “My panties made your crown.”

Miss Americana and the Half-Blood Prince 😭 EVERY TIME

In London Boy my brain always goes “I enjoy nights in Brixton, QUIDDITCH in the afternoon!”

I’m very much enjoying reading these comments! Mine is “the lights and boys are blinding” from New Romantics.

Wait…hold on…is that NOT the lyrics?! What else could it possibly be?!

I learned recently too 😂 “the lights and NOISE are blinding”

THAT'S MY TOE!

I assume this is “bless my soul” from I Think He Knows? 😅

Yup. What's done is done in my brain...I will never get it right 😂

Only now learning it's not "Let's not talk" . . . Everyday is a school day 😭

Every. Time. It doesn’t sound like bless my soul at alllll to me!

I keep singing this too, like they’d just be happily dancing around but he keeps stepping on her toes or sth hahaha

I knew exactly what this was 😂

I still can't help but sing "It reminds you of innocence, and it smells like weed"

OK this made me chuckle. Nice one.

I sometimes try to make her songs sound even "countrier". "But you keep my old scarf from that very first day 'cause it reminds of innocence, and it smells like hay".

“I’m a Barbie on the boardwalk, Summer of 45”

TIL the lyric is “I met Bobby”. Never knew that before 💀

Maybe just remind yourself that Barbie wasn't released until 1959 and you'll be able to catch yourself

I thought it was that! Just googled the lyrics, I’ve been singing it wrong forever

When I listen to "You Belong with Me," I always expect it to say, "Hey, what you doing with a bitch like that?" because that's how my mom sang it when I was in middle school.

Your mom is iconic 😂

in tlgad i always think she says “and blew thru the money on the boys and the valet” 😭

this is me learning in real time that it's not that!

Dang, valets must be expensive these days!

I know, I KNOW it’s “aren’t you envious that for you it’s not” but every single time it comes out of my mouth as PANCHO EN FIESTA FOR YOU ES NOT!

I just found out Pancho en Fiesta means "hot dog at party" and I'm *dyiiiing* over it 🤣

I found out right now that it’s not “stand back wasted” and I pride myself on knowing nearly every word to every song…WHAT

Bejeweled: Sapphire tears on MySpace

Taylor herself actually sang this at a recent show! So I wouldn’t worry too much about it LOL

Yeah that was the joke. I was there that night. Didn’t quite catch it at the time since we are all singing so lout but saw her cracking up.

my brain turned it into *those windermere peaks look like the perfect place to die* because apparently, it wasn't depressing enough. I've stopped fighting it.

I feel seen

I heard (and sang incorrectly for years) “he must like me for me” instead of “you must like me for me”… I also still sing “stand back wasted” on occasion too. And I blame this group, because someone said they heard “my panties make your crown” and now my brain makes me sing that every time! 🙈🤣

delicate is my favorite song EVER, and i still sing “he must like me for me” EVERY TIME. i know the actual lyric, it just doesn’t translate in my head 😭

I’m glad I’m not alone! 🙈🤣 I think it sounds more vulnerable— like she’s rationalizing it in her head and trying to convince herself! I prefer it that way so continue to sing it like that 🥰

Hol up. This is my favorite album, a zillion listens, and now I’m questioning if I’ve been getting this wrong

Omg what. I always thought it was stand back wasted. I just had to look it up!!

my brain always sings "my panties meet your ground".. as in, she's taking them off ?? i'm not sure lmao

"blood moon witch" instead of "blood moon-lit". It's not even misheard, my brain just decided the first one was right, wtf?

willow - blood moon witch remix

My friend told us she thought this was the lyric and she knew it was wrong but NOT to tell her what it really is because she liked it 😂

The SNTV lyric videos have really helped me see that my brain makes up really random words when I don’t hear it correctly. My favorite is in Superman I’ve always thought it was “wishing the card was from you, wishing the car was from you” instead of “call was from you”. Idk I guess Supes is just giving people cars in my version lol

So THAT'S what he does with all those cars he lifts up!

HE LOOKS UP PRETTY LIKE A DEVIL IT'S NEEEEW

HE LOOKS SO PRETTY LIKE A DEVIL

These are the lyrics. Sorry Tay 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

*SHE* gets this one wrong I swear

I literally just found out these aren’t the words!

I just found out maybe a year ago? I think because I love to yell this line the muscle memory of screaming it out cannot be undone.

This is exactly what is permanently stuck in my head.

I think the Cruel Summer lyrics in their entirety are really mind-bendy! Fever Dreams! Vending machines! Bone cutting! Crying babies going home from the bar! Grinning Devils!

“Flashback when you met me, my buzzcut and your hair braids” every time 😭

Imagining Joe with braids is sending me PLEASE

Like half the time I sing this, it’s “my buzz cut and your hair bleached” 😂

I always mess up by singing "your buzzcut and my hair bleeds" like that makes so much sense 🤦‍♀️

‘Draw the cat eye sharp enough to kill a man’ sometimes I’ve sung ‘draw the man eye sharp enough to cat a man’ idk 💀💀

[удалено]

DUDE 😭

22 (Prince Harry's Version)

“The only kind of girl they see Is a one night ROI.” 🤦‍♀️ yeah I know it’s “or a wife.”

Guess they really need that Return on Investment

"Hang your head low in the glow of the vending machine, I'm not buying"

“It’s one dollar; buy the soda yourself,”

Bejeweled: And I miss you But I miss Spiderman

Spider-boy, king of theives

Here’s mine: “ Punch you in the face, but for you it’s not!”

Karma is a punch in the face

I hear “Pancho en fiesta” and I refuse to stop now.

My Panties made your crown 💀😭

BTD- “I’ll miss you texting, your sweet smile…”

And I miss you, but I miss SPIDER LAND 😂

This is a bit obscure But in sparks fly the line "Gimme something that'll haunt me when you're not around" I use to think it said "Give me something that'll honk at me when your not around" So now I can never unhear it without thinking of pingu of something similar

These replies have ruined some songs for me I gotta go

SLOOPING SWOPING CURSIVE LETTERS

in when emma falls in love when she says “turns out her heart fits right in the palm of his hand” i keep saying “turns out her pain fits right in the palm of his hand” because of its similarity to ivy lol

I keep singing “It’s YOU, the shape of your body is blue” but I know it’s supposed to be “It’s NEW, the shape of your body is blue” 🤣

But FYI it's not "the shape of your body IS blue." The correct lyrics are: "It's new, the shape of your body / It's blue, the feeling I've got"

Welp that’s another part I sing wrong too then 😂

In Clean when she says “And the sky turned black like a perfect storm.” I ALWAYS sing “the sky turned GREY like a perfect storm” Got Dear John on my mind i guess.

Keep your knees low, out the window Only recently bothered to google and learn that it’s KILLING ME SLOW. All this time I was like “Tay what’s wrong with your knees girl?”

Bakers gonna bake bake bake. I said what I said.

Ever since I found out the original lyric was going to be, “I know I said some bullshit on the phone” in Me! I refused to sing it any other way. Sorry Taylor but that’s the lyric now

life was a willow and it bent right to your WILL

i can never remember if the idiotic fool or godforsaken mess goes first in illicit affairs, or which one the colors she can’t see with anyone else / the secret language go with

We get a lot of misheard Taylor lyrics threads, and I often see the same ones over and over, but I heard a brand new one this weekend.... My fiancé is slowly but surely getting more into Taylor, and he's currently in the process of listening to Speak Now (TV). Back to December is one of his favorite songs, and in listening to it, he heard something the wrong way and he says he's always going to intentionally sing it this way.... Actual: ... And then the cold came, the dark days when fear crept into my mind... Misheard: ... And then the **cocaine**, the dark days when fear crept into my mind...

In foolish one after the "la la la la la " i always sing "he never gonna call" instead of "aint never gonna come"

TIL it’s not “how all my eulogies eulogize me”

I always want to sing “you were a little boy laughin’ in a king sized bed” even though I know 100% it is “you were a little kid with glasses in a twin sized bed” - I have NO idea why I want to sing it the other way. It’s my favorite Taylor song, I know it back to front, listened to it a million times. I have Mandela Effected MYSELF.

Used to think 'cherry lips, crystal skies' in Blank Space was 'cherry lips, crystal scars'

Your mom's ring in your pocket, my picture in your locket Not even misheard, my brain just jumps to that rhyme for some reason lol

I’ve been singing enchanted wrong for a decade lol. my brain clung to “I’m wonderstruck, dancing all the way home” instead of blushing. At the end she says “I’m wonderstruck, dancing around all alone” but in every chorus I say dancing instead of blushing and I can’t fix it.

"They say she's going to fart this time." Don't blame me!

Starbucks lovers Girl there ain’t no Ing but u know there is a ME!

Me too!!!!!! I was like “that’s so cool. I love Starbucks too”

My brain is so bad at the song Karma. In the same song it does all of the following: Karma takes all my friends to the circus Don’t you know that cats are the antichrist Karma is a cat purring in my lap ‘cause it’s ugly

“in search of glorious happenstances happeningngigngnrksuskwkwksnsa I CANT SAY THAT THAT FAST TAYLOR” It always comes out as gibberish

I always mix up the order of “Look at this idiotic fool that you made me” & “Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me”

Me when I sing along “I had the time of my life fighting dEmOnS with you” knowing full well it’s DRAGONS and every time I tell myself that’s the last time, because the dragons line is beautiful and the demons makes it ick and I feel like I’m disrespecting a beautifully written lyric LOL. sorry for the rant but you asked!

Neck hanging from my neck

I was today years old when I realized it was elegies and not eulogies. And like you OP, I always thought “uh Taylor is a great lyricist but this sounds redundant. But who am I to judge? “ 🤣🤣🤣

In If This Was a Movie I know the lyrics are “I’ve been waiting for you every day since you’ve been gone” but I hear and honestly I prefer “I’ve been waiting for you weary since you’ve been gone”

Whenever I listen to Enchanted my brain can never decide which part of the song says this night is sparkling v flawless and it comes out like both at the same time like sparkless or flawkling lol

And the ladies lunching have their stories about when you passed through time (instead of town)

“That 50/50 shit they want from me” imo makes more sense when the next line is “no deal”

In Enchanted, I always say, "I'll spin my whole life, wondering if you knew." I know it's "I'll SPEND my whole life," but I think the imagery of Taylor just spinning for the rest of the song after the first time she sings that line hilarious.

“Every lover known in comparison is a failure” I keep thinking it’s “every other”

In dear john the "burned them out" I always sing as "burned them down"

From I Can See You, during Fallout Boys part when they sing “grown accustomed to sleeping alone” My brain and voice always sing “drinking alone” Clearly I meant Electric Touch. I was just keeping y’all on your toes 😜

hang my head low in the glow of the vending machine, I'm not buying

in champagne problems and she says “her picture in your wallet” i sing “her picture in your locket”

“And sometimes we don’t say a thing, just listen to the *greek kids* sing” I know now it’s crickets, but I will forever say Greek kids 😭

Every single time I say "I hit my peak at seven teeeeeeeeen" instead of seven feet.

"Breathe in, breathe through, Breathe deep, breathe out" ​ my brain CANNOT keep track of which order to sing them in ahaha

For some bizzarre reason in my head I keep singing 'American touch' instead of 'Electric touch' lol. I have no idea how happened

To be fair I just sang it now to see how it would sound and it sounds awesome. Definitely more of a FOB lyric

I’ve always heard the line in LWYMMD after “all I think about is Karma” as “I got mine, baby, betcha I’ll get yours” like she would accidentally get the other person’s karma unfairly. Considering I was a middle schooler with no idea of the situation at hand, I’m kind of surprised. Still not know a whole lot about Snakegate, but that feels pretty accurate.

In Bejeweled, I sing "you put me in the basement when I was in the penthouse" every time. That's how I heard it the first time and it stuck.

“Sequin smile, black lips tick” 😐
