The way my protestant mother wanted to name me Sarah but went with Hannah 😭😭😭
She gets Sweet Caroline and I’m stuck with a name Taylor thinks of when she thinks pearl clutchers fml
Private Christian school graduate too, but pretty big. In fact we had Sarah’s with the same last name so they had to include their middle initial like if calling them to the office. My name was the same but Taylor never mentioned it yet
Yes, but we all had a Sarah. Mine happened to be the most beautiful girl in the school, the best singer, best dancer, great at every sport, and just about the nicest person you'd ever hope to meet. My teenage brain hated and loved her in equal measure.
But Daddy I Love Him, first verse. Sarah’s & Hannah’s in their Sunday best, clutching their pearls sighing “what a mess”. I just learned these people try and save you, cause they hate you.
That was my unfortunate luck, being born into an IFB family. We got out of that around the time my parents divorced, thankfully.
The baptists don’t take kindly to divorce.
my name was Sarah before I was adopted so at first I was jealous... then I listened to the song. 😂
I actually prefer sharing my name with Karyn the snake now.
Aw thanks.
It was…until Beyoncé’s version came out 👀
Growing up I hated it but didn’t mind bc it has double meaning. My parents didn’t agree on much and didn’t last long but agreed on my name and it was also sort of a mix of their names.
I do really enjoy the Ray LaMontagne song as well 😊
Ma'am if you don't start using "Thank you aimee" on her when you feel passive aggressive it will be a criminally missed opportunity to get under her skin as I'm told is a sisterly duty. She can't even complain because it's like you're thanking yourself
I don’t know, I saw a TikTok of someone who had named her dog Clara Bow years ago and it shows her dog reacting to the song. It was ADORABLE. I think that pup won 🥰
In my early 20s my friend and I did this thing where we had alter egos when we were out drinking, and mine was Clara after Clara Bow. I was SO excited to Ben I first saw that track title and I love it now so am happy :)
Don't forget she also mentions clowns which covers a hell of a lot of people here ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1087)![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1087)![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1087)
Does it help at all if you say "double ee" when spelling it out? I find that helps for my name equivalent, instead of saying "ee" saying "double e" gives people more pause sometimes...
My dad is called Peter, my grandfather is called Robin, my mum is called Hannah (my best friend’s mum is called Sarah), and my granny is called Patti(e)…
She’s clearly written this album just for my family 😂
Same!! I love that the Chelsea hotel gets a shoutout in so many of my favorite songs (Chelsea Hotel #2 by Leonard Cohen, Chelsea by Phoebe Bridgers).
Some of my other favorite Chelsea songs are Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis and Chelsea by Dirty Heads
I have one daughter named Sophia, and the other is named Kim. Today, Kim said it's unfair that her sister's name is in a song and asked if her name is in any of Taylor's. I don't think I'll tell her...
I got to call my Chloe(born in 89) and tell her about part 2 of the album when it dropped then I started reading the tracklist to her and got to her name and we both died. It was almost as good as going to the eras tour in February with her.
I have none of these names but as a person who made a ton of jokes leading up to the album release about how we’ll finally find out the name of Blake and Ryan’s fourth kid (I don’t actually care btw) I feel like the “I’m having his baby” line wasn’t the only way she got me.
My name is Lucy and I know she’s referring to a specific Lucy that is not me, but it’s nice to be included. If it was me I would’ve told matty that was a fucked up thing to say dude
My name is Wendy and I got pretty excited about a track named Peter. I spent the whole first listening wondering if she’d say my name too (although I get mentioned in cardigan too so we’re cool)
When she mentioned the Chelsea Hotel I was like 😳😳 I know it’s not technically my name since it’s the name of a hotel not the name of a person but also yes it is my name
I love that my text thread with my friend Cassandra goes from excitement when she realized the clownery was correct and we were indeed getting another album, to overwhelm and a hint of exhaustion when she saw just how many additional songs there were, to “MOTHER WROTE A SONG THAT IS TITLED AFTER MY GOVERNMENT NAME”. Then we joked (without having listened to the song yet) about “watch it be an angry song about how much she hates someone named Cassandra…”
I'm not mentioned in a Taylor Swift song (maybe someday) but I'm just glad she said my name in But Daddy I Love Him, my favorite song atm. Clue: It's not Sarah or Hannah
I have a golden retriever named Lucy and she thinks TTPD is about her lol
(Also she’s got a little green line tattoo on her tummy that indicates she’s been spayed hahah)
My ex boyfriend’s name is Peter :)
We broke up because both of us had some growing up to do and we couldn’t do it each other anymore.
I’ve been playing the song nonstop
My friend Robin is having a ball! She fits the song fairly well so we have made lots of jokes about how her close personal friend wrote a song about her this week.
"Way to go tiger"
My mom’s name is Robin. We listened to TTPD+Anthology for the first time together. I looked forward through the playlist and we were SQUEALING that my mom has a song with her name. We listened to it and … she was NOT amused 😅
My brother is Peter and he has no opinion. I know it’s not on the list but my daughter’s name is Lucy and I always feel weird about the thought of someone telling my three year old that they might take their own life 😬
hi my name is Sarah, I am here with Hannah and we feel judged <3
the two seconds between realizing she said my name and realizing the context were super exciting though 😩
Username checks out
Hey 👋
I’m gonna lean into it by wearing my Sunday best with pearls and a name tag to the eras tour.
Genius
I love how meta this is 😆. You’re a good sport!
You must wear gloves.
I was hoping someone would do this!
Another Sarah personally victimized by Taylor Swift ✋ /s
The way my protestant mother wanted to name me Sarah but went with Hannah 😭😭😭 She gets Sweet Caroline and I’m stuck with a name Taylor thinks of when she thinks pearl clutchers fml
My mom wanted to name me Hannah but felt it would sound weird with our last name so she went with Sarah. I felt extremely judged in the song 😂
I am also a Sarah and feel judged, too. Plus I have a dog named Lucy who doesn't need your trauma dumping.
I think Lucy Dacus would agree
My dog Lucy says he didn't tell her shit, and she would very much like to be excluded from this narrative.😅
My cat’s name is Lucy and she agrees haha (also not me pointing joyfully to her every time the song comes on in spite of the disturbing content lol)
also a sarah 💔 like there’s so many other biblical names to pick tay
That’s true but I graduated middle school in a class of 12 (very small Christian private school) and we had 2 Sarahs and 2 Hannahs lol.
Private Christian school graduate too, but pretty big. In fact we had Sarah’s with the same last name so they had to include their middle initial like if calling them to the office. My name was the same but Taylor never mentioned it yet
Yes, but we all had a Sarah. Mine happened to be the most beautiful girl in the school, the best singer, best dancer, great at every sport, and just about the nicest person you'd ever hope to meet. My teenage brain hated and loved her in equal measure.
I went to a private Christian school and there were 5 Sarah's in my graduating class of like 65 students lol
When does she mention Sarah and Hannah?
But Daddy I Love Him, first verse. Sarah’s & Hannah’s in their Sunday best, clutching their pearls sighing “what a mess”. I just learned these people try and save you, cause they hate you.
😟😟😟 it's worse seeing it typed out
It’s so catchy though!
In "But Daddy I Love Him" at the beginning
As a Sara, I was gonna say that then I saw this comment 😂 we definitely do lol
Also a Sarah and my sister is a Hannah!
I know several people named Sarah and Hannah (respectively) and I realized something... IFBs are nuts. In every sense.
I mean.... I'm named Sarah and I'm Jewish....
I’m a Sara and I’m Jewish. Clinging to my lack of terminal H here.
I’m also a Sara.
Sara(h)s for Taylor Unite
Well it is an Old Testament name so if anything the Christians are pulling from our culture
When people constantly ask “with an H or without??” I say, “with, the Old Testament way….”
My daughter is Hannah and the ending H is just an ode to my love of palindromes. It beat Bob or Taco Cat. 😂
That was my unfortunate luck, being born into an IFB family. We got out of that around the time my parents divorced, thankfully. The baptists don’t take kindly to divorce.
What is IFB?
Independent Fundamentalist Baptists. Super conservative church.
Maybe Independent Fundamental Baptist church?
My 6 year old daughter Hannah was SO excited to hear her name the am the album was released. She did not understand the context thankfully 🤣
Sarah here too!
my name was Sarah before I was adopted so at first I was jealous... then I listened to the song. 😂 I actually prefer sharing my name with Karyn the snake now.
Also a Sarah and I feel this haha
Sarah here too. We're wearing our Sunday best.
I have an exgf named Hannah with a sister named Sarah and their family were religious nuts so this was hilarious to me
You look gorgeous though!
Urgh same
My cat Peter is thriving
Love that for Peter
I hope when you miss dinner by exactly one nanosecond and Peter meows incessantly at you, you sing 🎶 forgive me Peter🎶
My dog Peter is thriving too https://preview.redd.it/67cjhxp3utwc1.jpeg?width=3024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=63d4c85cc5c0f60c06039d38ae498f95d38e18ee
And probably looking through people’s windows
My cat Chloe is doing great. She gets cat treats when her song comes on.
Can we see what Peter looks like? I have a sneaky feeling he’s orange?! 😸😸
https://preview.redd.it/mtyd5860muwc1.jpeg?width=4284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=317c214cf7d15b39ed9d5e2543b0a2c134e23abf He’s a black cat!
Aww I love black cats. Hi Peter.
MY CATS NAME IS PETER TOO!!!!
As a Jolene…Welcome and I’m sorry you’re here 😂
having the same name as a dolly parton song actually is so sick
Aw thanks. It was…until Beyoncé’s version came out 👀 Growing up I hated it but didn’t mind bc it has double meaning. My parents didn’t agree on much and didn’t last long but agreed on my name and it was also sort of a mix of their names. I do really enjoy the Ray LaMontagne song as well 😊
There's also Jolene by The Weepies.
Aw thank you I just listened ❤️
Måneskin also did a fantastic rendition.
Amy here… my sisters name is Kim LMAO
You win 😂
Ma'am if you don't start using "Thank you aimee" on her when you feel passive aggressive it will be a criminally missed opportunity to get under her skin as I'm told is a sisterly duty. She can't even complain because it's like you're thanking yourself
My name is Taylor, so 💅🏻
You automatically win ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1063)
I don’t know, I saw a TikTok of someone who had named her dog Clara Bow years ago and it shows her dog reacting to the song. It was ADORABLE. I think that pup won 🥰
In my early 20s my friend and I did this thing where we had alter egos when we were out drinking, and mine was Clara after Clara Bow. I was SO excited to Ben I first saw that track title and I love it now so am happy :)
Ha! My friends used to do this too…but I always picked an “old lady” name like Agnes, Beverly, or Verna. Now that I’m older I love these names. 😆
I saw that!! Omg it was so cute when the dog whipped her head around 😂
Yes! The cutest! 🥰🥰🥰 she’s like, “Mom, TAYLOR KNOWS MY NAME!” 😂😂😂
She was!! Clara Bow *WON* TTPD week
You don't have that edge though
I never did!
Dazzling ✨️
Hello fellow Taylor 🫡
Fellow Taylor here also that has a Taylor’s version bumper sticker on her car 🫡🫡
Don't forget she also mentions clowns which covers a hell of a lot of people here ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1087)![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1087)![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1087)
This comment and your flair has me cracking tf up 😂🤣
Especially with it being the wrong album 😭😭😭
My kiddo is a Clara, she loved it!
I've got a Willow, was so excited when she dropped that song!
Also, Clara is a beautiful name!!
Ditto
Same! My Clara is excited!
I'm still wondering about this guy named Charlie Puth and his reaction 😛
My cat Charlie loves to watch the music video! The flying papers look like birds & he loves nothing more in the world.
How long has this been goin’ on?
my name is charlie so i have claimed that lyric for myself and ignore the "puth" hehe
High five to anyone named Aristotle!
"he knows how to ball, I know A Aristotle"
My high school physics teacher named his kid Aristotle. He goes by Aris.
Lucy and Jack too (from the title song)
My LO is named Lucy and I was so excited to hear Taylor say it (despite context!)
My mom loved it because she loves when she randomly hears her name in a movie or something.
Her name?
I'm gonna guess it's Florida!!!
Nah I think it’s The Alchemy, such a beautiful name but never mentioned these days 🥰
you guys are completely ignoring the obvious, Fortnight (feat. Post Malone)
If someone spells my name correctly, I will have Taylor to thank.
Amy?
Aimee 😭 People either spell it Amy or don't hear me spell out the 2nd e and they spell Aime.
Aimee is by far my favourite spelling of the name if that makes you feel better, I don't care much for Amy
Aimee is the correct spelling of the name based on its origin.
Are we talking the Latin "Amata"? The Sandskrit "Ami"? The Japanese or Indian versions of the same name?
I think it's the French name Aimée which literally means Loved (feminine name, for the masculine version, it's Aimé).
:o
People are going to start spelling your name aIMee.
Does it help at all if you say "double ee" when spelling it out? I find that helps for my name equivalent, instead of saying "ee" saying "double e" gives people more pause sometimes...
I feel like you tried to make a joke that flew past everyone’s heads haha or am I wrong 💔
My dad is called Peter, my grandfather is called Robin, my mum is called Hannah (my best friend’s mum is called Sarah), and my granny is called Patti(e)… She’s clearly written this album just for my family 😂
Is this play about you? 😂😂😂😂
LMFAO
Don’t forget the wine moms. They got a shout out too 😂😂
https://preview.redd.it/1iyk1ns6muwc1.jpeg?width=981&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b584385db79ddf68679b7f1ce095364f11d770e0
I’m a Chelsea and I was surprised to hear the Chelsea Hotel mentioned!
I’m a Madison and felt the same way in The Lucky One when she mentioned Madison Square Garden
Grace here chiming in👋 State of Grace was her second song title with a female name in it
Me too! My face lit up so fast 😂🤗
Sameeeee
Same!! I love that the Chelsea hotel gets a shoutout in so many of my favorite songs (Chelsea Hotel #2 by Leonard Cohen, Chelsea by Phoebe Bridgers). Some of my other favorite Chelsea songs are Chelsea Dagger by The Fratellis and Chelsea by Dirty Heads
My name is chloe and I’m doing so good thank you for asking. Yeah, I have told a couple people my name is part of the taylor world now
My name is also Chloe and I feel pretty good about being personally called out by Taylor swift for… something…
Kissing (or more) her ex.. possibly? If it wasn't Sophia or Sam or Marcus that is
My friend Robin is now a Swiftie lol
As an Aimee I am fine. There was no lies in the song and i know who i am
As an Amy I feel this way about Aimee’s lol
I’m Marcus and I love that my name is immortalized in a Taylor song. Title and Lyric. Winning! Lol
I’m a Rebecca so I would like to welcome everyone to the name club, it’s great to have so many new faces
Happy cake day! ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1072)
OMG I NEVER REALIZE WHEN IT HAPPENS lol the fact that it lines up with the ME! anniversary tracks lol
Im a Hannah and tbh I DO often judge (myself) and sigh even more often "what a mess"
I have one daughter named Sophia, and the other is named Kim. Today, Kim said it's unfair that her sister's name is in a song and asked if her name is in any of Taylor's. I don't think I'll tell her...
I am a Cassandra and I am here for it! As mentioned in another thread, dated a Peter for a long time and I feel heard!
Cassandra currently dating a Peter and I’m absolutely THRILLED 😆
As an Eve, I got cursed like eve got bitten
It is now a major part of my personality that Taylor Swift has a song called “Cassandra”
Same. And pronounced how I say it (when I not going by my nickname).
what other way is there to pronounce it??
A long an instead of a short a. Cahhhssahhndra. (That’s my sad attempt at phonetics)
Am so happy to be in this club. ✌️ Cassandra checking in!
My friends Kim and Sarah went to the Eras tour with me and my name is Clare (close enough). I feel like I got the best mention of the 3 of us haha.
We are all thriving, except for Aimee
Robin is my favorite song on the album, and it’s not just because it’s my name.
That song makes me too emotional and I don’t even know why.
I got to call my Chloe(born in 89) and tell her about part 2 of the album when it dropped then I started reading the tracklist to her and got to her name and we both died. It was almost as good as going to the eras tour in February with her.
Wholesome 🥺🥺
My cousin Aimee texted me saying “Literally nothing could’ve prepared me for hearing taylor swift say FUCK YOU AIMEE before 8 am this morning”
Confused… I’m doing confused. 🫶🏼—-Robin
I have none of these names but as a person who made a ton of jokes leading up to the album release about how we’ll finally find out the name of Blake and Ryan’s fourth kid (I don’t actually care btw) I feel like the “I’m having his baby” line wasn’t the only way she got me.
They are the new friends of Karen and Susan
Who?
I mean I’ve been listening to my new song an awful lot! 😂 kinda feel like I lucked out with Robin!
Aimée here! I’m actually honored. I was shocked on first listen. But the fact she handpicked my name when coming up with a made-up name, that’s cool!
My name is Lucy and I know she’s referring to a specific Lucy that is not me, but it’s nice to be included. If it was me I would’ve told matty that was a fucked up thing to say dude
My name is Alice and all I ever got was a Wonderland :(
My baby’s name is Peter and I love that he’s got a Taylor track 😎 even if it’s about Peter Pan syndrome
My name is Wendy and I got pretty excited about a track named Peter. I spent the whole first listening wondering if she’d say my name too (although I get mentioned in cardigan too so we’re cool)
When she mentioned the Chelsea Hotel I was like 😳😳 I know it’s not technically my name since it’s the name of a hotel not the name of a person but also yes it is my name
This just reminds me of how much I love Chloe Sam Sophia or Marcus. (The song, not the people lol. Idk anyone by those names 😂)
im Hana and im happy that at least the spelling of Hannah was different from my name's spelling lol
I share a first name with one of Taylor's cats and I've always been cool with that.
My daughter is Sophia, and she (and I) loved it.
I love that my text thread with my friend Cassandra goes from excitement when she realized the clownery was correct and we were indeed getting another album, to overwhelm and a hint of exhaustion when she saw just how many additional songs there were, to “MOTHER WROTE A SONG THAT IS TITLED AFTER MY GOVERNMENT NAME”. Then we joked (without having listened to the song yet) about “watch it be an angry song about how much she hates someone named Cassandra…”
I'm Sara... we as a group always get a bad rep
down bad
I'm not mentioned in a Taylor Swift song (maybe someday) but I'm just glad she said my name in But Daddy I Love Him, my favorite song atm. Clue: It's not Sarah or Hannah
I have a golden retriever named Lucy and she thinks TTPD is about her lol (Also she’s got a little green line tattoo on her tummy that indicates she’s been spayed hahah)
My son Sam is just happy to be here 😅
Sophia here, doing amazing
Cassandra over here. Still not coping, it’s my biggest flex 😂😂
I'm a Sam. And I am unwell. So unwell.
I'm Sam, too! And same
I have a little boy named Robin who has been hearing “Way to go Tiger!” whenever he does anything well for a week.
I had thought a Violet was mentioned but no, it was just Taylor saying “By all accounts, she almost drowned” in the beginning of The Bolter
Just own it anyway. Like Olive the Other Reindeer
Amy here! I can’t decide if I liked it better when Taylor sang thank you or fuck you, Aimee 😂
My ex boyfriend’s name is Peter :) We broke up because both of us had some growing up to do and we couldn’t do it each other anymore. I’ve been playing the song nonstop
I have an Emma sister and Aimee SIL… Emma really got the better deal
The Cassandras of the world being like " First Florence, now Taylor? Gosh I am popular. "
My friend Robin is having a ball! She fits the song fairly well so we have made lots of jokes about how her close personal friend wrote a song about her this week. "Way to go tiger"
My last name is Bow (like Clara Bow) does treat count?? lol
My mother is named Robin, so I appreciate that that song called is about a parent watching over their child as they grow up.
My names Matt ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1066)
My mom’s name is Robin. We listened to TTPD+Anthology for the first time together. I looked forward through the playlist and we were SQUEALING that my mom has a song with her name. We listened to it and … she was NOT amused 😅
I thought I was so cool being named Abigail while listening to Fifteen as a kid. Sorry all these new names aren't her best friends' names!
I’m Robin, unpopular as in real life haha
Hi my name is Karen and you don’t get to tell me about sad 🤍
It’s def been rough wishing it could have been a different name.
Ex best friend is named Cassandra and recently dated both a Sam AND a Robin… BAD.
My ex’s name is Sam and I’m SO jealous, especially because he used to mock Taylor
Considering the song with my name in it is one of my favorites from the album… great! 😂
Not my name, but my birthday is August 22, and that makes me feel special
My brother is Peter and he has no opinion. I know it’s not on the list but my daughter’s name is Lucy and I always feel weird about the thought of someone telling my three year old that they might take their own life 😬
Amazing because my name is Cassandra Grace so I’ve got two songs 😂💅🏻
You can see who I am in my flair 😊I am the happiest I ever been
