If you say that you've never had a five-star jam session to Taylor Swift, you're lying. Her songs undoubtedly make the perfect soundtrack to any kind of jam sesh you may need: the happy ones, the sad ones, the ones caused by you overthinking things a little too much, and the ones possibly caused by those heartbreakers from our past who don't even deserve a sliver of our thoughts. So, thank you, Taylor Swift, for giving me and millions of other girls (and occasionally guys who are too scared to fess up) the words we need to hear.
Call out our ex's (and maybe their new girls, too):
"I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me."
"All you are is mean, and a liar, and pathetic, and alone in life, and mean."
"You are an expert at sorry, and keeping the lines blurry -- never impressed by me acing your tests."
"Soon she's gonna find stealing other people's toys on the playground won't make you many friends."
And to cry to on all of those days:
"So I drive home alone. As I turn out the light, I'll put his picture down and maybe get some sleep tonight."
"And I know it's long gone, and that magic's not here no more, and I might be OK, but I'm not fine at all."
"It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you, wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine."
"It rains in your bedroom, everything is wrong. It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone 'cause I was there when you said forever and always."
"And you call me up again just to break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest."
And to make ourselves feel better after one of those days:
"You're beautiful, every little piece love, and don't you know you're really gonna be someone, ask anyone."
"We're happy, free, confused, and lonely at the same time. It's miserable and magical."
"Back then I swore I was gonna marry him someday, but I realized some bigger dreams of mine."
"We are too busy dancing to get knocked off our feet. Baby, we're the new romantics, the best people in life are free."
"Got the radio on, my old blue jeans and I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve. Feelin' lucky today, got the sunshine. Could you tell me what more do I need?""But I keep cruising, can't stop, won't stop moving. It's like I got this music in my body and it's gonna be alright."
