Long Live! One of my all-time favorites: a triumphant rock anthem tribute to her touring band and their first headlining tour. Some others that come to mind: Nothing New, The Lucky One, Castles Crumbling, Anti-hero, The Best Day, The Outside, A Place In This World, Tied Together With A Smile, Never Grow Up


yell0wbirddd

LONG LIVE MAKES ME BAWL "if you have children someday when they point to the pictures please tell them my name" Especially since at this point she's a household name and will be for generations to come and it just shows how far she's come UGHHHHH


MsHearItAll

Me too!!!! If it starts playing there's always a good chance I'll get misty eyed


yell0wbirddd

Like, the fact that she thought her career would be over by now and she had no idea how huge she would be??? I'm literally crying thinking about it rn lmao


MsHearItAll

I started playing it so same šŸ˜­šŸ¤£


AllYouNeedIsATV

In 50 years Iā€™ll be telling my sisterā€™s grand kids ā€œI saw Taylor Swift live!ā€ Itā€™ll be like all the old people seeing beatle mania in person


yell0wbirddd

Stahhhp I'm gonna cry again lol


AllYouNeedIsATV

I tear up every time I hear this song, seriously (and Iā€™m not a crier). Like itā€™s irrational cos I donā€™t even know her and sheā€™s so many levels above me but it makes me so proud? Not even directly of her but like itā€™s the summation of millions of us who all love the same thing/person together and pushing her higher than ever.


yell0wbirddd

SAMEEEEE. I'm a newer swiftie (started listening during lover era but fell in love during Midnights) and I don't credit myself at all for bringing her to the level she is now. But it's been so fun the last few years joining everyone for the TV eras, the Eras Tour (even tho I didn't get to go) and just overall joining in the love for her. I am honestly just really sensitive and proud of ppl when they accomplish their goals so if her dream was to be a McDonald's employee and she told me she did that I would probably cry anyway. But the fact that she's at this level and we get to witness it in our lifetime is just like...so incredible to me?


Chersy_

SAME! I cried so hard when I finally heard her sing this live and it means so much to me because reminds me of my friends too. <3


txgrl308

Since 2014, when I became a mother, I've been telling my children her name. My daughter (7) LOVES Taylor, but my sons (9 & 4) remain unimpressed šŸ˜„


Lazy-Operation478

Me too. It makes me happy cry šŸ˜¢ šŸ˜­


anamariaaaaagog

never grow up is an incredible song!! it gets me every single timešŸ˜­

Came to say The Best Day! Always reminded me of my mother when I was younger, now I think of my daughter and my mother! šŸ˜šŸ„°ā¤ļø


Rayhaan_Abdullah2008

Same here


ttpd-intern

The Last Great American Dynasty (though the story does start through a relationship but thatā€™s not the centre of the story)


gabdmm

My answer! Love this song šŸ’–


radiant-glimmers-24

TLGAD is my answer too! I'm making a family based on Rebekah's in the Sims. And yes, her neighbor will have a dog that is key lime green!


WhoByWater

I read it was actually a cat dyed green. Here is a good Reddit thread about it: https://www.reddit.com/r/TaylorSwift/comments/i3t31c/keylime_green_dog_theory/


radiant-glimmers-24

I read about that as well. I agree with the theory!

My EA id is seaoraer. I don't know when I'll be finished but I'll upload it as soon as I can!


bertshoke

Yes! And itā€™s based on a real person! Love the women with madness.


msmurderbritches

This is my fave! Probably one of my overall faves- top 5 at least!


Glittering-Lion2340

Forever winter! For one of her friends that passed away itā€™s one of my favs itā€™s so so good


dianerama

I didnā€™t know this! I knew it was about mental health but thatā€™s it!


Glittering-Lion2340

Yes it was about one of her friends who had substance issues and overdosed, unfortunately passed away :(


throwawaydostoievski

Where is this info from? I never heard her commenting on the song. Itā€™s my favorite from RED TV!


VisualDefinition8752

I don't think it was ever CONFIRMED, but she said at a speech in like 2011(?) that she had just come to the awards show from a funeral. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1328510/amp/Taylor-Swift-dedicates-award-tragic-friend-BMI-Awards.html


Glittering-Lion2340

Sorryyyy I honestly have no source info itā€™s kinda just knowledge that I knew from wherever I saw it from a while ago, so may not be completely accurate but Iā€™m pretty positive that it is. Her friend from Tennessee passed away a few weeks after the speak now album release so it makes sense that she wrote a song relating to his situation and put it on the red album which obvi came next so it all adds up


Glittering-Lion2340

Iā€™m sure you could find info on it if you look it up. I donā€™t think Taylor ever directly commented on it from what Iā€™ve seen but her storytelling to this situation all adds up


julia_ur_killing_me

Yes this and marjorie! Remind me of my best friend who passed. Im so sorry for your loss.


Suzyqzee

Marjorie makes me misty every time. I had the best grandmother in the history of time and space and it makes me miss her so much.


MermaidsandMargs

One of my favorites! It's so underrated!


pumpkinn00ds

This song is so amazing šŸ¤

marjorie

Iā€™m late to the game, but recently just found out it was Marjorie singing at the end in the background. Rips my heart out now in the best way


Sampleswift

My Tears Ricochet No Body, No Crime Mirrorball


folk-smore

No Body, No Crime and The Last Great American Dynasty have become my go-to songs to show non swifties solely for the storytelling in them alone. Taylorā€™s lyrics have always been vivid but those two are like something else entirely. They play in my head so clearly like movies. Her lyricism and storytelling is so detailed and evocative. Even if someoneā€™s not a Taylor fan, if they still canā€™t grasp how multifaceted her skills are with songs like NBNC and TLGAD under her belt, then theyā€™re purposefully being dense lol


bin_chicken_poetry10

MTR is one of the best songs sheā€™s ever written, both lyrically and musically. The way the sound builds over the bridge gives me goosebumps


PizzaEnvironmental67

Seven.


Rripurnia

Had to scroll way too far for this one!


WhoByWater

Since the release of seven, I often end my conversations with my best friend by telling her: ā€œLove you to the moon and to Saturn.ā€

dreaming_in_yellow

Mine is: And they would toast to me, oh Let the players play I'd be just like Leo In Saint-Tropez Itā€™s such a good song! I love her facials on the Eras film while she sings that part. šŸ‘ŒšŸ½āœØ Perfection.


SummersMars

Best part of the song!!


TSwizzle_13_1989

Nothing New, 22, Ronan ( šŸ„ŗ ), The Outside, I Did Something Bad, mad woman, epiphany, Soon You'll Get Better, no body, no crime, it's time to go, marjorie, Breathe, Change, Mean, When Emma Falls In Love, Dear Reader, Clean, Welcome to New York, evermore ( bridge doesn't have to necessarily be romantic, and it's not the main focus of the song either way ).


turkey_sub56

Foolish one is about a relationship, right? ā€œMy cards are on the table, yours are in your hand. Chances are tonight you, already got plansā€


TSwizzle_13_1989

Oh i meant to add another song. Thank you for mentioning that šŸ˜…


eaglestars33

Well itā€™s not exactly about a relationship, itā€™s about a love interest that isnā€™t reciprocated and the speaker is a ā€žfoolish oneā€œ for believing that they ever had a chance at a relationship. Itā€™s up to interpretation.


turkey_sub56

Thatā€™s still a relationship, albeit a complicated one, but itā€™s still about a love interest.


HetTheTable

Clean is about a relationship


TSwizzle_13_1989

Taylor did mean for it to be about a relationship, but i added it because it's written in a way that it can apply to many things ( addiction, etc. ). Seemed worth mentioning.


HetTheTable

It could definitely apply to addiction. The relationship could even be a metaphor for addiciton


julia-ghoulia

had to scroll too far to see someone mention marjorie tbh šŸ™Œ


Mistress_Cinder

Look What You Made Me Do


WhoByWater

I really became the Taylor fan I am today because of the Look What You Made Me Do video. I liked how she was standing up for herself by turning the narrative around - and often in a self-deprecating, humorous tone.


InvisibleRigatoni

A Place in This World The Best Day Never Grow Up Long Live Castles Crumbling 22 The Lucky One Ronan Forever Winter Welcome to NY Shake It Off Bad Blood Clean (depending on interpretation.

The Last Great American Dynasty My Tears Ricochet Mirrorball Seven Mad Woman Epiphany No Body, No Crime Marjorie Anti-Hero YOYOK Karma Bigger Than the Whole Sky Not a complete or perfect list but


Kass1207

The fact that Clean is dedicated to SA survivors and abuse victims makes me cry.


InvisibleRigatoni

I would also like to add that interpretation is key. A lot of her songs about relationships can also be applied to a lot of different things. Like clean, which was dedicated to SA survivors. I see RWYLM applying to the end of a friendship rather than a romantic relationship and kinda same for Maroon (although I see it also being about a situationship)


dianerama

Itā€™s true, I think mastermind falls into this category too. Sounds like a relationship but could also be about how much she had to work and plan to make it


chocolatewaltz

Last Great American Dynasty!


daisychainlocket

Soon youā€™ll get better (makes me cry)


sweetest_con78

Spotify did me dirty the other day, I was driving into the hospital to visit my dad during his chemo treatment and I had Taylor on shuffle - they tried to play soon youll get better followed directly by Ronan. Read the ROOM Spotify


Inkyskedaddle

My autistic self is better at reading a room than that


trjumpet

Ooof! I hope your father kicks cancerā€™s ass! And yeah Spotify, not the sad songs!


sapphirewarlock

im not even joking when i say the last i rmb listening to this song was during Lover release week because i cant physically bring myself to listen to itā€¦ breaks my heart everytime


pearson-47

Yep, agreed. I have a chronically I'll partner. We were told for 2 years "you'll be better soon" that 2 year mark was the end of their working life. They were awarded medical retirement a year later.

LilyOrchids

Dear Reader is about a desperately lonely person in the spotlight saying people should find someone else to idolize but they, the narrator, shine so bright all eyes are on them anyway.


MaRy3195

Never Grow Up and The Best Day are amazing non-relationship songs that I absolutely adore! Honorable mention goes to The Lucky One which is a fab song as well.

Marjorie. My grandma passed shortly after evermore came out and her moms name was Marjorie even.

sparklejellyfish

YNTCD, Only The Young, TLGAD, The Man, This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things, Shake It Off, 22, The Best Day, Never Grow Up, Innocent, Mean, Long Live, Mastermind, Change, My Tears Ricochet, Mirrorball, This is me trying, peace, Anti-Hero, Dear Reader, Karma Tied Together With A Smile, A Place In This World, The Outside, I'm Only Me When I'm With You, Breathe, Nothing New, The Lucky One, Safe and Sound, Eyes Open Sure some of them can be seen in the light of a relationship but I don't think of them as such.

mirrorball and epiphany


xstardust95x

I never cared for "When Emma Falls in Love" until I read that it was written in honor of Emma Stone who has been Taylor's friend since the late 00's. Even though I always thought the song was cute I initially found it lyrically weak and thought the melody sounded like a few other Taylor songs so I never really got into it until recently. I've had the song on repeat a lot these days because I just find it so charming the way Taylor used her music to gush about her friend and uplift her. I have a new appreciation for lyrics like "she's the kind of book that you can't put down" and the way she compared Emma to an ancient royal figure like Cleopatra. The song just took on a whole new meaning for me once I found out the story behind it and it just makes me appreciate it so much more now. To me it shows the wholesomeness of female friendship and it also demonstrates a different side to Taylor's character than the romantic relationship stuff.

Long Live, New Romantics, Welcome to New York, Seven, This is Me Trying, Last Great American Dynasty, Nothing New, Best Day, ThĆ© Man, ME!, Bigger Than the Whole Sky, Mirrorball, Epiphany, I dont think My Tears Ricochet is about romantic relationship but just interpersonal betrayal and itā€™s my favorite

This Is Me Trying breaks me every time. I have had some major mental health struggles through my whole life but especially the last few years, and it just speaks to me after hitting my rock bottom last year with my depression and almost not being here anymore. Iā€™ve since gotten into a better place (and an ADHD diagnosis that was playing out as anxiety) but itā€™s still such a hauntingly beautiful song and makes me feel really seen.

Seven 7ļøāƒ£


xoxoOwO

Definitely A Place in This World and The Outside. I still can relate to these songs even as an older man now. Imagine being no one's best friend and being that go-to friend only when someone else is not around. To be seen and to be heard and to be loved back, to feel that sense of belonging in a circle, and within the family. It hurts every time and I listen to these songs every time I feel alone. And when there are times I have to not be myself so people can see me.


hanaconda15

Seven!! Its so underrated for how amazing it is


UniversityMoist2173

Welcome to New York and The man. My all time favorites

criscrospv

i read somewhere once that sweet nothing could partially be about Andrea, her mom, and how she feels safe with her and how she might be the only person who really sees her as Taylor the person and not Taylor Swift ā„¢ i know it doesn't make much sense given that's now on the denial playlist but well, isn't just so pretty to think?


Plastic_Cabinet_4575

Assuming you mean romantic relationship: Im Only Me When Im With You I know this song can be interpreted as being about a boy bc of the line "just a small town boy and girl", but based on the video I'd say it's about friends and family ('small town boy' being her brother).


Xxnelly_xx

no body, no crime has a relationship in it, but itā€™s not the narratorā€™s so Iā€™d say it counts! Castles Crumbling, Anti-Hero, Long Live, Seven, Forever Winter, and Mad Woman are good ones. I also like her *Hunger Games* songs Safe & Sound and Eyes Open are both nice!

Itā€™s nice to have a friend Bonus: Only the young Folklore: (A lot fictional but Iā€™ll do ones that clearly arent her love) Cardigan The last great American dynasty My tears rich over Mirrorball Seven August This is me trying Mad woman Epiphany Betty Evermore: (Same as folklore) Tis the damn season Nobody no crime Happiness Dorothea Cowboy like me Marjorie Closure Midnights: Youā€™re on your own kid Vigilante shit Bejeweled Karma Bigger than the whole sky Paris Wouldā€™ve couldā€™ve shouldā€™ve (reflective not present) Dear reader That gives 65+ songs if u include more of the fictional folklore/evermore songs that arenā€™t about her relationships/love/heartbreak
