Clean

## Audio

**Clean** is the thirteenth track of Taylor's fifth album 1989. It's the final track of the standard edition. It was released on October 27, 2014.

## Meaning and Background

Imogen and Taylor had met up in a studio in London; Taylor already had come up with lyrics, chorus and the chords. Imogen put some noises to it and played various instruments on it. All Taylor's vocals were recorded during that session.

> I had this metaphor in my head about being in this house, there’s been a drought but you feel like there’s a storm coming. Instead of trying to block out the storm you punch a hole in the roof and just let all the rain come in, and when you wake up in the morning, it’s washed away.
>
> - Taylor about Clean

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
The drought was the very worst (oh-oh, oh-oh)
When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
It was months and months of back-and-forth (oh-oh, oh-oh)
You're still all over me like a wine-stained dress I can't wear anymore

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Hung my head as I lost the war
And the sky turned black like a perfect storm

**[Chorus]**
Rain came pouring down
When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe
And by morning
Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
(oh, oh, oh, oh)

**[Verse 2]**
There was nothing left to do (oh-oh, oh-oh)
When the butterflies turned to
Gust that covered my whole room
So I punched a hole in the roof (oh-oh, oh-oh)
Let the flood carry away all my pictures of you

**[Pre-Chorus]**
The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud
But no one heard a thing

**[Chorus]**
Rain came pouring down
When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe
And by morning
Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
(oh, oh, oh, oh)
I think I am finally clean
(oh, oh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh
Said, I think I'm finally clean
(oh, oh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh-oh

**[Bridge]**
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 risk it

**[Breakdown]**
The drought was the very worst (oh-oh, oh-oh)
When the flowers that we'd grown together died of thirst
(Oh)

**[Chorus]**
The rain came pouring down
When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe
And by morning
Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean
Rain came pouring down
When I was drowning, that's when I could finally breathe
And by morning
Gone was any trace of you, I think I am finally clean

**[Outro]**
(Oh, oh)
Finally clean
Think I'm finally clean
(Oh, oh)
Oh-oh, oh-oh
(Oh, oh, oh)
Think I'm finally clean

The Last Great American Dynasty

## Lyric Video

**the last great american dynasty** is the third song on Taylor Swift's eight album folklore. It was released on July 24, 2020.

## Meaning and Background

The song is about Rebekah Harkness, a wealthy window who lived in the Rhode Island house that Taylor now owns. Taylor said she has been wanting to write a song about Rebekah's life since 2013, but never had a track that felt like it could tell a whole life story until now. To the Rolling Stone, Taylor said: "Her name was Rebekah Harkness and she lived in the house that I ended up buying in Rhode Island. That's how I learned about her. But she was a woman who was very, very talked about, and everything she did was scandalous. I found a connection in that."

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
Rebekah rode up on the afternoon train, it was sunny
Her saltbox house on the coast took her mind off St. Louis
Bill was the heir to the Standard Oil name and money
And the town said, "How did a middle-class divorcée do it?"
The wedding was charming, if a little gauche
There's only so far new money goes
They picked out a home and called it "Holiday House"
Their parties were tasteful, if a little loud
The doctor had told him to settle down
It must have been her fault his heart gave out
And they said

**[Chorus]**
There goes the last great American dynasty
Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been
There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen
She had a marvelous time ruining everything

**[Verse 2]**
Rebekah gave up on the Rhode Island set forever
Flew in all her Bitch Pack friends from the city
Filled the pool with champagne and swam with the big names
And blew through the money on the boys and the ballet
And losing on card game bets with Dalí
And they said

**[Chorus]**
There goes the last great American dynasty
Who knows, if she never showed up, what could've been
There goes the most shameless woman this town has ever seen
She had a marvelous time ruining everything

**[Bridge]**
They say she was seen on occasion
Pacing the rocks, staring out at the midnight sea
And in a feud with her neighbor
She stole his dog and dyed it key lime green
Fifty years is a long time
Holiday House sat quietly on that beach
Free of women with madness, their men and bad habits
And then it was bought by me

**[Chorus]**
Who knows, if I never showed up, what could've been
There goes the loudest woman this town has ever seen
I had a marvelous time ruining everything

**[Outro]**
I had a marvelous time ruining everything
A marvelous time ruining everything
A marvelous time
I had a marvelous time

Lucky You

**Lucky You** is an unreleased song by Taylor Swift. It was written and recorded in 2002, when Taylor was 12 years old. This is the first song Taylor has ever written.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
There's a little girl in this little town
With a little too much heart to go around
Live forever, never say never
You could do better, that's what she says

**[Chorus]**
Mama named her Lucky on a starlit night
A rabbit foot in her pocket, she dances in spite
Of the fact that she's different
And yet she's the same
And she says lucky you, lucky you

**[Verse 2]**
She sings her little song, she walks along
A little pathway headed for the skies
Left to travels, lives they unravel
Mind over matter, that's what she says

**[Chorus]**
Mama named her Lucky on a starlit night
A rabbit foot in her pocket, she dances in spite
Of the fact that she's different
And yet she's the same
And she says lucky you, lucky you, lucky you

**[Bridge]**
Maybe she'll sing you do do do do
Maybe she'll bring you into the skies
Honey she'll love you, funny how some view
Angels above you aren’t so far away

**[Chorus]**
Mama named her Lucky on a starlit night
A rabbit foot in her pocket, she dances in spite
Of the fact that she's different
And yet she's the same
And she says lucky you, lucky you
My Tears Ricochet

## Lyric Video

**my tears ricochet** is the fifth track on Taylor Swift's eight album folklore. It was released July 24, 2020.

## Meaning and Background

Taylor described this is a song about karma, greed and how somebody could be your most trusted person and become your worst enemy who knows how to hurt you because they were ones close. It reminds her of people going through a divorce, where the person you swore to be with forever becomes the person you "talk the most shit about".

## Trivia

* Taylor thinks of this as one of the saddest songs on the album and was consciously chosen to be track 5.
* This is the first song Taylor wrote for folklore.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
We gather here, we line up, weepin' in a sunlit room
And if I'm on fire, you'll be made of ashes, too
Even on my worst day, did I deserve, babe
All the hell you gave me?
'Cause I loved you, I swear I loved you
'Til my dying day

**[Chorus]**
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
And you're the hero flying around, saving face
And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
Look at how my tears ricochet

**[Verse 2]**
We gather stones, never knowing what they'll mean
Some to throw, some to make a diamond ring
You know I didn't want to have to haunt you
But what a ghostly scene
You wear the same jewels that I gave you
As you bury me

**[Chorus]**
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
'Cause when I'd fight, you used to tell me I was brave
And if I'm dead to you, why are you at the wake?
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
Look at how my tears ricochet

**[Bridge]**
And I can go anywhere I want
Anywhere I want, just not home
And you can aim for my heart, go for blood
But you would still miss me in your bones
And I still talk to you (When I'm screaming at the sky)
And when you can't sleep at night (You hear my stolen lullabies)

**[Chorus]**
I didn't have it in myself to go with grace
And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves
You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same
Cursing my name, wishing I stayed
You turned into your worst fears
And you're tossing out blame, drunk on this pain
Crossing out the good years
And you're cursing my name, wishing I stayed
Look at how my tears ricochet

Gold Rush

## Lyric Video

**gold rush** is the third track of Taylor's ninth album evermore. It was released on December 11, 2020.

## Meaning and Background

Taylor has said about the track that it takes place inside a single daydream where you get lost in thoughts for a minute, then snap out of it.

## Trivia

* This is Jack Antonoff's favorite song of the album.

## Lyrics

**[Intro]**
Gleaming, twinkling
Eyes like sinking ships on waters
So inviting, I almost jump in

**[Chorus]**
But I don't like a gold rush, gold rush
I don't like anticipatin' my face in a red flush
I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch
Everybody wants you
Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you
Walk past, quick brush
I don't like slow motion, double vision in rose blush
I don't like that falling feels like flying 'til the bone crush
Everybody wants you
But I don't like a gold rush

**[Verse 1]**
What must it be like to grow up that beautiful?
With your hair falling into place like dominoes
I see me padding across your wooden floors
With my Eagles t-shirt hanging from the door
At dinner parties, I call you out on your contrarian shit
And the coastal town we wandered 'round had nеver seen a love as pure as it
And thеn it fades into the gray of my day-old tea
'Cause it could never be

**[Chorus]**
'Cause I don't like a gold rush, gold rush
I don't like anticipatin' my face in a red flush
I don't like that anyone would die to feel your touch
Everybody wants you
Everybody wonders what it would be like to love you
Walk past, quick brush
I don't like slow motion, double vision in rose blush
I don't like that falling feels like flying 'til the bone crush
Everybody wants you
But I don't like a gold rush

**[Verse 2]**
What must it be like to grow up that beautiful?
With your hair falling into place like dominoes
My mind turns your life into folklore
I can't dare to dream about you anymore
At dinner parties I won't call you out on your contrarian shit
And the coastal town we never found will never see a love as pure as it
'Cause it fades into the gray of my day-old tea
'Cause it will never be

**[Outro]**
Gleaming, twinkling
Eyes like sinking ships on waters
So inviting, I almost jump in

Cars

Cars is a 2006 American computer-animated road-comedy film produced by Pixar Animation Studios and released by Walt Disney Pictures. Directed and co-written by John Lasseter from a screenplay by Dan Fogelman, it was Pixar's final independently-produced film before its purchase by Disney in January 2006. Set in a world populated entirely by anthropomorphic talking cars and other vehicles, the film stars the voices of Owen Wilson, Paul Newman (in his final acting role), Bonnie Hunt, Larry the Cable Guy, Tony Shalhoub, Cheech Marin, Michael Wallis, George Carlin, Paul Dooley, Jenifer Lewis, Guido Quaroni, Michael Keaton, Katherine Helmond, John Ratzenberger and Richard Petty. Race car drivers Dale Earnhardt Jr., Mario Andretti, Michael Schumacher and car enthusiast Jay Leno (as "Jay Limo") voice themselves.

Cars premiered on May 26, 2006 at Lowe's Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina and was theatrically released in the United States on June 9, 2006 to critical and commercial success, grossing $462.2 million worldwide against a budget of $120 million. It was nominated for two Academy Awards including Best Animated Feature, but lost to Happy Feet (but won both the Annie Award for Best Animated Feature and the Golden Globe Award for Best Animated Feature Film). The film was released on DVD on November 7, 2006 and on Blu-ray in 2007. The film was accompanied by the short One Man Band for its theatrical and home media releases. Merchandise based on the film (including scale models of several of the cars) broke records for retail sales of merchandise based on a Disney/Pixar film, bringing an estimated $10 billion for 5 years after the film's release. The film was dedicated to Joe Ranft, the film's co-director and co-writer, who died in a car crash during the film's production.

A sequel titled Cars 2 was released on June 24, 2011 and a spin-off film titled Planes, produced by Disneytoon Studios, was released on August 9, 2013,[5] which was followed by its own sequel Planes: Fire & Rescue, which was released on July 18, 2014. A series of short animated films titled Cars Toons debuted in 2008 on Disney Channel and Disney XD. A second sequel titled Cars 3 was released on June 16, 2017

The Best Day

## Lyric Video

**The Best Day** is the twelfth track of the standard edition of Taylor's second album Fearless. It was released on November 11, 2008.

## Meaning and Background

> "I wrote this song on the road and didn't tell my mom about it. I decided that I was going to keep it a secret and give it to her as a surprise for Christmas. I wrote it in the summer and then recorded it secretly with the band in the studio. After it was done, I synched the song up to all these home videos of her, and my family. She didn't even realize it was me singing until halfway through the song! She didn't have any idea that I could possibly write and record a song without her knowing about it. When she finally got it, she just started bawling her eyes out."
>
> - Taylor about The Best Day

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
I'm five years old, it's getting cold, I've got my big coat on
I hear your laugh and look up smiling at you, I run and run
Past the pumpkin patch and the tractor rides
Look now, the sky is gold
I hug your legs and fall asleep on the way home

**[Chorus]**
I don't know why all the trees change in the fall
But I know you're not scared of anything at all
Don't know if Snow White's house is near or far away
But I know I had the best day with you today

**[Verse 2]**
I'm thirteen now
And don't know how my friends could be so mean
I come home crying and you hold me tight and grab the keys
And we drive and drive until we found a town far enough away
And we talk and window shop 'til I've forgotten all their names

**[Chorus]**
I don't know who I'm going to talk to now at school
But I know I'm laughing on the car ride home with you
Don't know how long it's going to take to feel okay
But I know I had the best day with you today

**[Bridge]**
I have an excellent father, his strength is making me stronger
God smiles on my little brother, inside and out
He's better than I am
I grew up in a pretty house and I had space to run
And I had the best days with you

**[Verse 3]**
There is a video I found from back when I was three
You set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're talking to me
It's the age of princesses and pirate ships and the seven dwarfs
And Daddy's smart
And you're the prettiest lady in the whole wide world

**[Chorus]**
And now I know why all the trees change in the fall
I know you were on my side even when I was wrong
And I love you for giving me your eyes
For staying back and watching me shine
And I didn't know if you knew, so I'm taking this chance to say
That I had the best day with you today

Tied Together with a Smile

## Audio

**Tied Together with a Smile** is the seventh track of Taylor's debut album Taylor Swift. It was released on October 24, 2006.

## Meaning and Background

> "One of my best friends is absolutely beautiful. She goes to beauty pageants and wins everything. Girls want to be her and guys want to be with her. I wrote this song the day I found out about her eating disorder. It completely blew my mind, and this one was tough to write, because I wasn't just telling some sad story. This was real. This song is basically about the girls I know, and the difficult things I saw them go through. I've never seen this song as a lecture. It's really about how no matter what my friends go through, I'm always going to love them."
>
> - Taylor about Tied Together with a Smile

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
Seems the only one who doesn't see your beauty
Is the face in the mirror looking back at you
You walk around here thinking you're not pretty
But that's not true, 'cause I know you

**[Chorus]**
Hold on
Baby, you're losing it
The water's high
You're jumping into it
And letting go
And no one knows
That you cry
But you don't tell anyone
That you might
Not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone

**[Verse 2]**
I guess it's true that love was all you wanted
'Cause you're giving it away like it's extra change
Hoping it will end up in his pocket
But he leaves you out like a penny in the rain
Oh, 'cause it's not his price to pay
It's not his price to pay

**[Chorus]**
Hold on
Baby, you're losing it
The water's high
You're jumping into it
And letting go
And no one knows
That you cry
But you don't tell anyone
That you might
Not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone
Hold on
Baby, you're losing it
The water's high
You're jumping into it
And letting go
And no one knows
That you cry
But you don't tell anyone
That you might
Not be the golden one
And you're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone

**[Outro]**
You're tied together with a smile
But you're coming undone oh
Goodbye, baby
With a smile, baby, baby

It's Time to Go

## Lyric Video

**it's time to go** is the seventeenth track of Taylor's ninth album evermore. It's a bonus track on the deluxe edition of the album. It was released on January 7, 2020.

## Meaning and Background

Taylor said that the song is about listening to your gut when it's time to leave.

This song, specifically verse 4 and 5, is presumably about Scott Borchetta from Taylor's old label Big Machine Records. Taylor was with the label for about 15 years. The label didn't allow her to own her albums and didn't give her a lot of freedom to make her own decisions. After she left the label, they sold her albums to Scooter Brown, who she accused of bullying.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
When the dinner gets cold and the chatter gets old
You ask for the tab
Oh that moment again, he's insisting that friends
Look at each other like that

**[Verse 2]**
When the words of a sister come back in whispers
That prove she was not in fact what she seemed
Not a twin from your dreams
She's a crook who was caught

**[Chorus]**
That old familiar body ache
The snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
You know when it's time to go

**[Verse 3]**
Twenty years at your job
Then the son of the boss gets the spot that was yours
We're trying to stay for the kids
When keeping it how it is will only break their hearts worse

**[Chorus]**
That old familiar body ache
The snaps from the same little breaks in your soul
You know when it's time to go

**[Post-Chorus]**
Sometimes giving up is the strong thing
Sometimes to run is the brave thing
Sometimes walking out is the one thing
That will find you the right thing
Sometimes giving up is the strong thing
Sometimes to run is the brave thing
Sometimes walking out is the one thing
That will find you the right thing

**[Verse 4]**
Fifteen years, fifteen million tears
Begging 'til my knees bled
I gave it my all, he gave me nothing at all
Then wondered why I left

**[Verse 5]**
Now he sits on his throne in his palace of bones
Praying to his greed
He's got my past frozen behind glass
But I've got me

**[Chorus]**
That old familiar body ache
The snaps from the same little breaks in my soul
I know when it's time to go

**[Post-Chorus]**
Sometimes giving up is the strong thing
Sometimes to run is the brave thing
Sometimes walking out is the one thing
That will find you the right thing
Sometimes giving up is the strong thing
Sometimes to run is the brave thing
Sometimes walking out is the one thing
That will find you the right thing

**[Outro]**
That will find you the right thing
And you know in your soul
And you know in your soul
When it's time go
You know, you know, you know, you know
When it's time to go
So then you go
Then you go
You just go

Hannah Montana: The Movie

* Film poster
* Taylor's appearance

**Hannah Montana: The Movie** is a teen musical comedy drama that premiered on April 10, 2010. Taylor makes an appearance in it as herself, performing the song Crazier. She also wrote the song You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home for the movie, performed by Miley Cyrus.

## Synopsis

 *Miley Stewart (Miley Cyrus) struggles to juggle school, friends and her secret pop-star persona; when Hannah Montana's soaring popularity threatens to take over her life – she just might let it. So her father (Billy Ray Cyrus) takes the teen home to Crowley Corners, Tenn., for a dose of reality, kicking off an adventure filled with the kind of fun, laughter and romance even Hannah Montana couldn't imagine.*

## Taylor's appearance

At a barn party, Taylor stands on the stage and announces: *We're gonna slow it down for the next song if that's alright.* She starts playing guitar and sings Crazier, while the people in the barn slow dance to it.

## Trivia

* The filmmakers had asked Taylor if they could use her music in the movie and wanted a country waltz that's perfect to fall in love to. Taylor sent them Crazier, and they loved it and asked Taylor to make a cameo.
Mad woman

## Lyric Video

**mad woman** is the twelfth track of Taylor Swift's eight album folklore. It was released on July 24, 2020.

## Meaning and Background

When Aaron Dessner sent Taylor the piano part of the song, she immediately knew that it had to be about female rage. She thought of the most rage-provoking element of being a woman, the gaslighting when a woman responds to toxic male behaviour. Taylor mentioned that someone she had this experience with in her life tried to make her feel like she's the offender, but she has no right to respond or else she's crazy or out of line. This track is a way to explain why this kind of experience feels bad.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
What did you think I'd say to that?
Does a scorpion sting when fighting back?
They strike to kill, and you know I will
You know I will
What do you sing on your drive home?
Do you see my face in the neighbor's lawn?
Does she smile?
Or does she mouth, "Fuck you forever"?

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Every time you call me crazy, I get more crazy
What about that?
And when you say I seem angry, I get more angry

**[Chorus]**
And there's nothing like a mad woman
What a shame she went mad
No one likes a mad woman
You made her like that
And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out
And you find something to wrap your noose around
And there's nothing like a mad woman

**[Verse 2]**
Now I breathe flames each time I talk
My cannons all firin' at your yacht
They say, "Move on" but you know I won't
And women like hunting witches too
Doing your dirtiest work for you
It's obvious that wanting me dead
Has really brought you two together

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Every time you call me crazy, I get more crazy
What about that?
And when you say I seem angry, I get more angry

**[Chorus]**
And there's nothing like a mad woman
What a shame she went mad
No one likes a mad woman
You made her like that
And you'll poke that bear 'til her claws come out
And you find something to wrap your noose around
And there's nothing like a mad woman

**[Bridge]**
I'm taking my time, taking my time
'Cause you took everything from me
Watching you climb, watching you climb
Over people like me
The master of spin has a couple side flings
Good wives always know
She should be mad, should be scathing like me, but

**[Outro]**
No one likes a mad woman
What a shame she went mad
You made her like that

State of Grace

## Audio

**State of Grace** is the first track of Taylor's fourth album Red. It was released on October 16, 2012.

## Meaning and Background

> "State of Grace is a song I wrote at the beginning process of making this album, and I think it helps to define what the rest of the record is about, just with one line. There's a line in the song that says 'Love is a ruthless game/Unless you play it good and right'. That's kind of like a warning, for the rest of the record. This is what's going to happen if you don't play this right. This is what could happen if you do. It almost serves as the perfect kind of warning label for the rest of the record.  As soon as you hear that song, there are two ways this could go, you could be good to people, or you could not play fair, and both the outcomes are reflected on the record."
>
> - Taylor about State of Grace

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
I'm walking fast through the traffic lights
Busy streets and busy lives
And all we know, is touch and go
We are alone with our changing minds
We fall in love 'til it hurts or bleeds, or fades in time

**[Chorus]**
And I never saw you coming
And I’ll never be the same

**[Verse 2]**
You come around and the armor falls
Pierce the room like a cannon ball
Now all we know, is don’t let go
We are alone, just you and me
Up in your room and our slates are clean
Just twin fire signs, four blue eyes

**[Pre-Chorus]**
So you were never a saint
And I've loved in shades of wrong
We learn to live with the pain
Mosaic broken hearts
But this love is brave and wild

**[Chorus]**
And I never (never) saw you coming
And I’ll never (never) be the same

**[Bridge]**
This is a state of grace
This is the worthwhile fight
Love is a ruthless game
Unless you play it good and right
These are the hands of fate
You’re my Achilles heel
This is the golden age of something good
And right and real

**[Breakdown]**
And I never (never) saw you coming
And I’ll never be the same

**[Chorus]**
And I never (never) saw you coming
And I’ll never
(So you were never a saint
And I've loved in shades of wrong)
Be the same
(We learn to live with the pain
Mosaic broken hearts
But this love is brave and wild)

**[Outro]**
This is a state of grace
This is the worthwhile fight
Love is a ruthless game

Dark Blue Tennessee

**Dark Blue Tennessee** is an unreleased song by Taylor Swift. The demo CD came out on January 1, 2004.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
He said, "I got me a nice new apartment
In the city, wouldn't you have hated that?
I'm getting by with a broken heart you left me with"
He hangs up the phone and she whispers back

**[Chorus]**
Missing you like this is such sweet sorrow
Won't you come back to me?
I'll be here, today and here tomorrow
In dark blue Tennessee

**[Verse 2]**
He was lying when he said he moved to L.A
He's just hiding out on the other side of town
With his head in his hands and she's just seven miles away
He's staring out the window and puts her picture down, saying

**[Chorus]**
Missing you like this is such sweet sorrow
Won't you come back to me?
I'll be here, today and here tomorrow
In dark blue Tennessee

**[Bridge]**
She almost called him on the night that he wrote
These simple words on his goodbye note

**[Chorus]**
Missing you like this is such sweet sorrow
Won't you come back to me?
I'll be here, today and here tomorrow
In dark blue Tennessee

**[Outro]**
In dark blue Tennessee
Everfree Forest

The **Everfree Forest** is an woodland area located outside Ponyville and Fluttershy's Cottage - it's considered dangerous due to the many untameable creatures that inhabit it with one being the Timberwolves - despite the dangers both Zecora as well as the Chaos family: Discord, Fluttershy, Screwball, Zany and Mothball are capable of living there.

## Origin

The Everfree Forest's history remains a mystery considering how dangerous it can be with the animals that pose a threat to whoever enter, what is known about it's history was that the Castle of the Two Sisters is in ruins and remains deserted due to Princesses Celestia and Luna now live at the castle in Canterlot.
Innocent

## Audio

**Innocent** is the eleventh track of Taylor's third album Speak Now. It was released on October 25, 2010.

## Meaning and Background

> "The song "Innocent" is about something that really intensely affected me emotionally. It took a while to write this one. I was fortunate enough to get a chance to perform this song on the VMAs, and that's the first time that anyone ever heard it. Putting out an album called Speak Now where you're supposed to say what you feel when you know how you feel, I felt that performing that song on that particular award show was appropriate. I hope everybody likes this one."
>
> - Taylor about Innocent

It is about Kanye West, who interrupted Taylor's speech at the 2009 VMA's.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
I guess you really did it this time
Left yourself in your war path
Lost your balance on a tightrope
Lost your mind trying to get it back

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Wasn't it easier in your lunchbox days?
Always a bigger bed to crawl into
Wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything
And everybody believed in you?

**[Chorus]**
It's alright, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
You're still an innocent

**[Verse 2]**
Did some things you can't speak of
But at night, you live it all again
You wouldn't be shattered on the floor now
If only you had seen what you know now then

**[Pre-Chorus]**
Wasn't it easier in your firefly-catching days?
When everything out of reach, someone bigger brought down to you
Wasn't it beautiful running wild 'til you fell asleep
Before the monsters caught up to you?

**[Chorus]**
It's alright, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
It's okay, life is a tough crowd
32, and still growing up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent

**[Bridge]**
Time turns flames to embers
You'll have new Septembers
Every one of us has messed up too
Lives change like the weather
I hope you remember
Today is never too late to be brand new, oh

**[Chorus]**
It's alright, just wait and see
Your string of lights is still bright to me
Oh, who you are is not where you've been
You're still an innocent
It's okay, life is a tough crowd
32, and still growing up now
Who you are is not what you did
You're still an innocent
You're still an innocent

**[Outro]**
Lost your balance on a tightrope
It's never too late to get it back

Gracie

**Gracie** is an unreleased song by Taylor Swift. It's about young girl, Gracie, who was a cancer survivor.

## Background and Meaning

Taylor met Gracie in 2005 on a plane. Gracie was five years old and suffered from Leukemia. Taylor presumably wrote the song shortly after meeting her. Taylor and Gracie reconnected at the Fearless Tour and Reputation Tour. Gracie sadly passed away in 2019 from a brain tumor.

A picture of Gracie and Taylor was featured in the lyric video for Love Story (Taylor's Version).

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
My name's Gracie
I'll be five in May
Kind of scared cause
I've never been on a plane
My mama says that it'll be alright
Cause I'm going to see my daddy tonight
And she says that

**[Chorus]**
There's a whole a lot of good people in heaven
And I don't wanna get there too soon
And I know there's a God because I met him
And I see it when I'm looking at you
There ain't no accidents in what we do

**[Verse 2]**
My name's Heather
Guess we're on the same flight
Don't mind Gracie
She could talk to you all night
She's finally well enough to travel
Doctor says she's in the clear
She's been in and out of hospital
Since the beginning of the year

**[Chorus]**
There's a whole a lot of good people in heaven
And I don't wanna get there too soon
And I know there's a God because I met him
And I see it when I'm looking at you
There ain't no accidents in what we do

**[Verse 3]**
James T. Johnson
That's her daddy's name
He's been overseas
It'll be a year today
He never talked about being scared over the phone
He just said me and Gracie will come and take him on

**[Chorus]**
There's a whole a lot of good people in heaven
And I don't wanna get there too soon
And I know there's a God because I met him
And I see it when I'm looking at you
There ain't no accidents in what we do

**[Verse 4]**
And the people that we meet
As we go through the rain
There are no accidents in what we do
The 1

## Lyric Video

**the 1** is the first track on Taylor Swift's album folklore. It was released on July 24, 2020.

## Meaning and Background

Taylor said that the song has a double meaning; it applies to updating a former lover on how you're doing, but it's also about where Taylor is herself in life.

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
I'm doing good, I'm on some new shit
Been saying "yes" instead of "no"
I thought I saw you at the bus stop, I didn't though
I hit the ground running each night
I hit the Sunday matinée
You know the greatest films of all time were never made

**[Pre-Chorus]**
I guess you never know, never know
And if you wanted me, you really should've showed
And if you never bleed, you're never gonna grow
And it's alright now

**[Chorus]**
But we were something, don't you think so?
Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool
And if my wishes came true
It would've been you
In my defense, I have none
For never leaving well enough alone
But it would've been fun
If you would've been the one
(Ooh)

**[Verse 2]**
I have this dream you're doing cool shit
Having adventures on your own
You meet some woman on the internet and take her home
We never painted by the numbers, baby
But we were making it count
You know the greatest loves of all time are over now

**[Pre-Chorus]**
I guess you never know, never know
And it's another day waking up alone

**[Chorus]**
But we were something, don't you think so?
Roaring twenties, tossing pennies in the pool
And if my wishes came true
It would've been you
In my defense, I have none
For never leaving well enough alone
But it would've been fun
If you would've been the one

**[Bridge]**
I, I, I persist and resist the temptation to ask you
If one thing had been different
Would everything be different today?

**[Chorus]**
We were something, don't you think so?
Rosé flowing with your chosen family
And it would've been sweet
If it could've been me
In my defense, I have none
For digging up the grave another time
But it would've been fun
If you would've been the one
(Ooh)

The Way I Loved You

## Lyric Video

**The Way I Loved You** is the tenth track of the standard edition of Taylor's second album Fearless. It was released on November 11, 2008.

## Meaning and Background

> "I got this idea for a song about being in a relationship with a nice guy who is punctual and opens up the door for you and brings you flowers...but you feel nothing. The whole time you're with him, you're thinking about the guy who was complicated and messy and frustrating. So I brought that idea, the title and where I thought the song should go to John. He was able to relate to it because he is that complicated, frustrating messy guy in his relationships. We came at the song from different angles.  It was just so cool to get in a room and write with him because he really is an incredible writer."
>
> - Taylor about The Way I Loved You

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
He is sensible and so incredible
And all my single friends are jealous
He says everything I need to hear and it's like
I couldn't ask for anything better
He opens up my door and I get into his car
And he says you look beautiful tonight
And I feel perfectly fine

**[Chorus]**
But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
And it's 2AM and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you act insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breaking down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kind of rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you

**[Verse 2]**
He respects my space
And never makes me wait
And he calls exactly when he says he will
He's close to my mother
Talks business with my father
He's charming and endearing
And I'm comfortable

**[Chorus]**
But I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
It's 2AM and I'm cursing your name
You're so in love that you acted insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breaking down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kind of rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you

**[Bridge]**
He can't see the smile I'm faking
And my heart's not breaking
'Cause I'm not feeling anything at all
And you were wild and crazy
Just so frustrating
Intoxicating, complicated
Got away by some mistake and now

**[Chorus]**
I miss screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain
It's 2AM and I'm cursing your name
I'm so in love that I acted insane
And that's the way I loved you
Breaking down and coming undone
It's a roller coaster kind of rush
And I never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you oh, oh

**[Outro]**
And that's the way I loved you oh, oh
Never knew I could feel that much
And that's the way I loved you

Jimmy Kimmel Live!

**Jimmy Kimmel Live!** is a talk show hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. Taylor appeared on the show twice.

## 2014

On October 23, 2014, Taylor was interviewed about her new album 1989, her lyrics and working with Jack Antonoff. She also told the story of showing up to the show's studio when she was 14 years old, asking the music booker if she could play a song for him and getting kicked out instead. She then performed her 1989 songs Shake It Off and Out of the Woods.

Later that year, Taylor appeared in a segment that featured Guillermo interviewing celebrities at the 2014 American Music Awards. She and Karlie Kloss were interviewed back-to-back and played harmonica and recorder.

## 2020

On December 16, 2020, Taylor appeared on the show after the release of her ninth studio album evermore. She wasn't present in the studio; they video called because of the corona pandemic. She was interviewed about the album, her birthday and her concert film. She also debunked the fan theory that there'd be a new album called 'woodvale', revealing that it was the fake name for folklore to prevent the album name from getting leaked. Taylor was asked about Joe's pseudonym, revealing that he came up with the pseudonym himself.

After the interview, a TikTok was made that showed Taylor talking with her hands, and at one point it seemed like she was making a hand sign that people also use to warn people they're experiencing domestic abuse. The TikTok was spread around, making many people believe Taylor was asking for help. Taylor's publicist Tree Paine revealed on Twitter that Taylor was fine.

You're Not Sorry

## Lyric Video

**You're Not Sorry** is the ninth track of the standard edition of Taylor's second album Fearless. It was released on November 11, 2008.

## Meaning and Background

> "It is about this guy who turned out to not be who I thought I was. He came across as prince charming. Well, it turned out prince charming had a lot of secrets that he didn't tell me about. And one by one, I would figure them out. I would find out who he really was. I wrote this when I was at the breaking point of, "You know what? Don't even think that you can keep on hurting me." It was to a point where I had to walk away."
>
> - Taylor about You're Not Sorry

## Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
All this time I was wasting hoping you would come around
I've been giving out chances every time and all you do is let me down
And it's taken me this long, baby, but I've figured you out
And you're thinking we'll be fine again, but not this time around

**[Chorus]**
You don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone
This is the last straw
Don't wanna hurt anymore
And you can tell me that you're sorry
But I don't believe you baby like I did before
You're not sorry (no no no no)

**[Verse 2]**
You're looking so innocent, I might believe you if I didn't know
Could've loved you all my life if you hadn't left me waiting in the cold
And you've got your share of secrets
And I'm tired of being last to know
And now you're asking me to listen 'cause it's worked each time before

**[Chorus]**
But you don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone
This is the last straw
Don't wanna hurt anymore
And you can tell me that you're sorry
But I don't believe you baby like I did before
You're not sorry (no no no no)
You're not sorry (no no no no)

**[Bridge]**
You had me crawling for you, honey and it never would have gone away, no
You used to shine so bright, but I watched all of it fade

**[Chorus]**
So you don't have to call anymore
I won't pick up the phone
This is the last straw
There's nothing left to beg for
And you can tell me that you're sorry
But I don't believe you baby like I did before
You're not sorry (no no no no)
You're not sorry (no no no no)
(No, no, no...)
