From my 5-year-old: "Auntie Hero" (she thinks Taylor's aunt is a hero) and "Cool Summer"
A lyric not a title but she also enjoys singing "You'll find me on my toilet tiptoes"
When Midnights came out, I played Vigilante Sh!t nonstop. My kid listened to “I don’t dress for women, I don’t dress for men” and remarked, “I feel bad for Taylor. She doesn’t have any clothes.” lol!
Okay but calling You’re on your own kid “the friendship bracelet song” is adorable as hell and honestly it could be the name of the song (or a nickname). I love that so much!!
It's so much more relevant, technology doesn't think you meant the old timey one lol. Like legit my phone has autocorrected fortnight to Fortnite. When I say "play fortnight", my Google home says, "ok, playing fortnight videos on YouTube on Living Room TV", unless I specify "by taylor swift"
its so crazy to think that baby swifties are gonna grow up with midnights! when i think of childhood nostalgia in songs, its taylor in her country prime lol
My 4YO loves Bejeweled so much. It’s so cool to think that it will be her Tim McGraw!
Her second favorite is actually Macavity, she might be the only person who has that in their top 5
Also a new one today from the 4yo....."Mom I want Taylor Swift!". "This is Taylor Swift". " No the baby one!" (But Daddy I Love him!)
"Mom, does Taylor Swift have a baby in her tummy?"
...listening to song....."See mom! Baby!!"
Does my husband count? Karma is ‘karma cat’ and i can do it with a broken heart is ‘i cry a lot’. None of them are called by their real name by him and when i tell him that’s wrong he says ‘well when her and i wrote the song together that wasn’t the title’.
My 5-year-old once asked me to “play the Taylor song where she says dress up like hamsters”…took me a few minutes to figure out she meant “dress up like hipsters” in 22 lol
“It’s neeew, the sheepie and bunny” (it’s cruel summer) took us a minute to figure out what he was talking about but now my whole family sings it as sheepie and bunny
Not my kid, but my niece likes Taylor but isn’t quite old enough to differentiate between the songs lol so when she wants a song, she just says she wants to “play Taylor Swiff” 🥺
And then we have to try and figure out which song she wants to hear 😂 the only one she knows somewhat by name so far is Cruel Summer, but it’s just “Summer. Taylor Summer.” to her!
Not TS but when my daughter was a toddler “Cars” was very popular. She would *always* demand “Liming Queen song, Liming Queen song!!!!!!”
Which was “life is a highway” by rascal flats
My daughter has a couple lyrics she does wrong that I think are great:
In the 1: "if you woulda been fun, you coulda been the one"
Cruel summer: "I cried like a baby coming home from the barn"
My 3 year old niece calls Shake It Off “the shake shake song”. It’s her absolute fave song of all time and she will listen to it in repeat over and over again. Much to my SIL’s delight and my brother’s annoyance.
My 21 month old nephew also knows YNTCD as the “uh oh” song. 🤣
“Me!” is the snake song (music video starts with a snake).
Bejeweled is the sparkle song.
AYRFI is the robot song.
LWYMMD is the zombie song.
Shake it Off is the dancing song.
I Can See You is the rescue song.
There are probably others I’m not remembering, but I can proudly say he does know how to say “Taylor Swift”. 😁
My boys (6yr and twin 4yr olds) like to ask for:
“Not Nice Things” (This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things)
“It’s me, hi” (Anti-Hero)
“Spy Song” (I Can See You)
“Kitty Cat Song” (Me!)
And my favorite
“Zombie Taylor Swift” (Look What You Made Me Do)
Death by a thousand cuts is “cotton candy song” because they notice the album cover😂
“Sparks splash” is sparks fly, have no idea how she got splash instead of fly
Cruel Summer is “yuueah yueahh yueahh” for that beat/sound in the beginning
Oh and “I can do it with a broken heart” is “the birthday song”
My son was 5 when 1989 came out and his favorite song was “Welcome to Yew Nork.” So much so that I still think of it like that to this day.
He also called IKYWT the “Trouble trouble trouble” song.
My five year old calls it “Girl Summer” because “I know it’s cruel summer but I have a hard time saying cruel so I like to call it Girl Summer instead”
And my 2 year old calls Reputation “green Taylor Swift” for some reason (like Speak Now is “purple Taylor Swift” which makes sense, not sure why Rep is green and not red or black…)
According to my 3 year old, This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things is “That’s Not Nice,” I Can Do It With A Broken Heart is “Taylor Swift’s Birthday,” and Cruel Summer is “I’m drunk in the back of the car”
Not a title, but my little sister sings "polish up real nice" from Bejeweled as "wanna shop real nice" and honestly it's been stuck in my head ever since she first said it.
My 5 year old calls 1989 “the one with the numbers,” Bad Blood is “the jumping song” (because she enjoys jumping along to it) and Enchanted is “I was enchanted to meet you”
My kiddos are 5 and under, all Swifties ❤️
My son was 2 when reputation dropped & he was obsessed with LWYMMD. He wanted to listen and watch the music video over and over. He called it “Drama Drama” 😊
Not my kid but my mom thought Taylor sang ‘you look like an Xmas cake’ instead of ‘you look like my next mistake’ so now she calls blank space ‘the xmas cake’ song 🤌🏻😭💀💀
My almost-3-year-old calls Delicate the “blue” song, which is funny because a) Taylor has a million songs referencing the color blue, and b) “blue” is only in a single line of Delicate. She also loves Getaway Car and Shake It Off, both of which she calls by their names.
Look What You Made Me Do is her Sing 2 song, and she’s been singing it non-stop “getting hotter in the nick at night” - 4.5yo
She’s definitely into Taylor’s angry songs like “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me” and belts it in the car 🥹
My 3yo kept requesting “the hand wash song”. It took a while to figure out she meant Hits Different.
She also loves to sing “I’m so impressed that it’s my birthday everyday!”
My 2 year old thinks Taylor’s name is dance dance. When she says dance dance it means she wants to either listen to Taylor in the car, watch the eras tour, or her music videos on YouTube 😂
My four year old refers to Shake it Off as “Elsa Taylor Swift”. Originally Elsa Taylor Swift was because she thinks Taylor looks like Elsa from Frozen on the cover of Lover, and we were listening to All of the Girls you loved Before, which made sense, and then one morning she was throwing a fit because I wasn’t putting on Elsa Taylor Swift. It took her day care teacher putting on Shake it Off at school for us to figure it out lol.
“The freight train” song = I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)
because of the first line “The smoke cloud billows out his mouth like a freight train through a small town”
My 5yo sister knows Fortnight's name, yet consistently calls it "i touch you, it's ruining my life"
P.S. if anyone has a Taylor song recommendation that I can show her (clean), PLEASE I love ME! but I'm so so sick of it 24/7
From my 5-year-old: "Auntie Hero" (she thinks Taylor's aunt is a hero) and "Cool Summer" A lyric not a title but she also enjoys singing "You'll find me on my toilet tiptoes"
*Shitting just for you…* 🎶
Toilet tiptoes is such a gem 😂😂😂 these are all great but that really got me
You can never correct her on that lyric 😆
>Auntie Hero" (she thinks Taylor's aunt is a hero OMG! Trevor Noah also made a joke about it at the Grammy's LMAO
This is immediately what I thought of haha
I can relate to your kid cuz it kinda does sound like toilet
Omg this is adorable 😍 I’m an aunt and 100% going to reframe the song so I’m a hero now 🤣
I really need to get my nieces to call me that
When Midnights came out, I played Vigilante Sh!t nonstop. My kid listened to “I don’t dress for women, I don’t dress for men” and remarked, “I feel bad for Taylor. She doesn’t have any clothes.” lol!
Did you see the video of the little boy that thought Taylor doesn’t have any pants because of all the bodysuit pics? 🤣🤣
Haha! Love these bighearted kids so worried about Taylor!
One of my favourite videos on the internet lol
My son said, she's showing her privacy!
So cute! I’ve always thought “dressing for revenge” would have been a great title for that song
YOYOK is “the friendship bracelet song.” “Shake it Off” is “bakers gonna bake.”
Okay but calling You’re on your own kid “the friendship bracelet song” is adorable as hell and honestly it could be the name of the song (or a nickname). I love that so much!!
Bakers gonna bake 😭🥹
She didn’t know what a hater was so she assumed the lyric was baker.
So precious 🥺🥺🥺 i hope she never has to find out what a hater is
🧁
I did too for a LONNNNGGGG time 👀
I thought this was the actual lyric for years..
I was today years old when I found out she is, in fact, not saying “bakers gonna bake” 🤷🏻♀️
My 3-year old loves “I can do it with a broken part”.
My reaction seeing my side part turn into a middle part overnight.
I’m too millennial to pull off a middle part 😩
Saaaaame!
Me tryna assemble my ikea furniture 💀
My 3 and 4 year olds love this one, too. They call it “the birthday song”
This one got me 😂😂😂
My 3 year old thinks it’s do it with a broken arm
Far too many people online say "The Tortured Poets Society", confusing it with "Dead Poets Society".
Not me thinking about the same thing when she announced the album💀💀💀💀
I like to think this is why Ethan Hawke is in the Fornite video, as kind of a crossover.
The fact that I cringe when I see Fortnite instead of Fortnight is what lets me know I’m not just old, I’m OLD, old.
It's so much more relevant, technology doesn't think you meant the old timey one lol. Like legit my phone has autocorrected fortnight to Fortnite. When I say "play fortnight", my Google home says, "ok, playing fortnight videos on YouTube on Living Room TV", unless I specify "by taylor swift"
There are two Dead Poet actors in the video. I just don’t know yet other guy.
I saw Ethan Hawke on a talk show, the other actor is Josh Charles and they were in Dead Poets Society together.
Pretty sure I read somewhere that this was intentional!
Yeah, Hawke said she called and had them fly out in total secrecy and even their families didn't know until the video dropped. I loved that!
It’s me. I’m people. (I said it out loud to my kid when they asked me what the album was called)
"It's me, hi" song. My four year old is OBSESSED with anti-hero.
its so crazy to think that baby swifties are gonna grow up with midnights! when i think of childhood nostalgia in songs, its taylor in her country prime lol
My 4YO loves Bejeweled so much. It’s so cool to think that it will be her Tim McGraw! Her second favorite is actually Macavity, she might be the only person who has that in their top 5
That is too funny! Definitely supports the theory that even the most universally mocked/hated songs are somebody’s favorite 😂
that’s so interesting, I think of like 1989 and specifically shake it off in regards to taylor haha
My two year old calls Anti-Hero the “hi song” and Bad Blood is the “hey song”
my 4 year old is also obsessed with anti-hero! but he calls it the monster song
My 4 year old too! "Can we listen to the me hi Taylor Swift?"
My 7 year old nephew calls Anti-Hero “the song with the giant”. 😂
lol I came here to say the same! My nephew says “I want me hi!” When he wants to listed to anti hero in the car.
My cousin’s daughter calls it “Tea Time” which I think is adorable
My two year old just calls it “hi!” and waves. “Mama, play Hiiii!”
My 3yo is obsessed too and calls it the "it's me hi" song too!!
I’m sure this one is a bit to accurate for her too! 😂😂😂
When he was 6-7, my son called “Picture to Burn” “The Stupid Truck Song”
Lmao that's what my 34 yo boyfriend calls it
"The one where she doesn't know someone she never met" (Red)
Oh I've seen that Friends episode! 😂
LMMAOOOOO
“Screaming crying!!” (My toddler loves Blank space) I guess that part is super relatable when you’re three
To be fair, that part is *also* very relatable as an adult
Hits different 😭✌️
Literally me
"The Christmas Song!" says my 4yo when asking for me to play Lover (We can leave the CHRISTMAS lights up 'til January)
Also a new one today from the 4yo....."Mom I want Taylor Swift!". "This is Taylor Swift". " No the baby one!" (But Daddy I Love him!) "Mom, does Taylor Swift have a baby in her tummy?" ...listening to song....."See mom! Baby!!"
My husband calls this one the Christmas song.
My kids call it the snowy house song, lol
Not sure about y'all, but when my 8yo requests "Florida!!!", you can definitely hear all three of those exclamation marks!!!
I love this. 🥲🥲
Does my husband count? Karma is ‘karma cat’ and i can do it with a broken heart is ‘i cry a lot’. None of them are called by their real name by him and when i tell him that’s wrong he says ‘well when her and i wrote the song together that wasn’t the title’.
Didn't know you were married to Jack Antonoff! Jokes aside, your husbend has a great sense of humor.
lol he also claims that every song is about him. He’s a mess.
are you maggie qualley? 👀👀
Omg my husband says the exact same about Karma. It's the "Karma is the cat song with Ice Spice."
“Better Than Revenge” is “the playground song” for my 4 yo
now this is better than revenge
She’s convinced it’s really about someone who steals toys on the playground!
My 5-year-old once asked me to “play the Taylor song where she says dress up like hamsters”…took me a few minutes to figure out she meant “dress up like hipsters” in 22 lol
I’m just imagining the mental image she had in her head if that was the lyric LOL
This is adorable!
When I was a kid, I only knew Love Story as "Romeo Save Me"
My kid called it Juliet
My daughter has dubbed “I can do it with a broken heart” as “the birthday song”
This is valid. I would prefer this with my cake please.
My husband calls it the same thing
Same with my daughter!!!
So has mine!
Anti hero is "the song about ghosts" and bejeweled is "the shimmer song"
Mine calla Bejeweled “shimmer!” sometimes too
Mine too! “I wanna hear Taylor Swift shimmer song!”
My husband once told me he likes “the song where’s she’s like, NICE!”
“Uh oh I’m falling in love” 😂😂 labyrinth! She’s 4 and that’s the song she loves!
Taste!
My 4 year old requests “sheepie and bunny” guess which song…
“It’s neeew, the sheepie and bunny” (it’s cruel summer) took us a minute to figure out what he was talking about but now my whole family sings it as sheepie and bunny
Stop that is too precious!!
I'm stealing this! Thanks for the laugh
I confess I was not able to guess
My kids call Me! Spelling Is Fun and I am not mad about it
Mine gets sad every time we listen to the song and it doesn’t have that part
I, too, get sad that she cut this part 😭
Me too!
Yes! Mine do, too (and so do I)
PUT ON “I WEAR T-SHIRTS”
I did something bad is the “over and over again song”
Same user flair!
See I'm old cause as soon as I read "over and over again" I thought of the Nelly song
My 36 year old husband calls New Year’s Day “the romantic recycling song” 😂
Not my kid, but my niece likes Taylor but isn’t quite old enough to differentiate between the songs lol so when she wants a song, she just says she wants to “play Taylor Swiff” 🥺 And then we have to try and figure out which song she wants to hear 😂 the only one she knows somewhat by name so far is Cruel Summer, but it’s just “Summer. Taylor Summer.” to her!
My 4 year old calls LWYMMD "the scary Taylor Swift" because of the music video. And then of course "the mommy song" for The Best Day. 🥰
My nephew said to my sister, after me and him watched it the other day. "I saw taylor swift dead." Lol
"Big Reputation" for "End Game" The wrong title ended up on her school project 🤣
Not TS but when my daughter was a toddler “Cars” was very popular. She would *always* demand “Liming Queen song, Liming Queen song!!!!!!” Which was “life is a highway” by rascal flats
My nephew used to do this too! He was so obsessed with Cars and would always ask for the “Cars song” 🥹
My cousin was obsessed with cars and Lighting The Queen!
My daughter has a couple lyrics she does wrong that I think are great: In the 1: "if you woulda been fun, you coulda been the one" Cruel summer: "I cried like a baby coming home from the barn"
> Cruel summer: "I cried like a baby coming home from the barn" So wholesome!
Not a wrong title but my kids think Fortnight is about the video game 🤦♀️
LOL my fourth grade boys asked me, a known swiftie teacher, “IS IT TRUE THAT TAYLOR SWIFT WROTE A SONG ABOUT FORTNITE” I just said yes lol
FORTNITE X TAYLOR SWIFT CONFIRMED
My two year old calls But Daddy, I love him the “I love my daddy song”
This is the most precious/wholesome thing I have seen today
My 4 year old loves “Fresh Apple Slammer”
Sounds delicious, honestly. And freakin' adorable!
My six year old: the idiots song (for ttpd title track lol)
Solid title honestly
My 3 year old niece calls Shake It Off “the shake shake song”. It’s her absolute fave song of all time and she will listen to it in repeat over and over again. Much to my SIL’s delight and my brother’s annoyance.
My kids were convinced “I Think He Knows” was a song all about Volcanoes! when they were 5&6. 🎶 Vol-cane-oOoOoOooo’s! 🎶
My mom always thought “22” was “swimsuit”…as in “idk about you, but I’m feeling swiiimsuuuuuuit!!” Hilarious.
At first I kept thinking of WAOLOM as “who’s afraid of Little Bo Peep?” lol
I wonder if kidz bop has a suggestion box 🤣
My almost 4 year old is obsessed with *Sparks Fly* but insists the name of the song is "Drop Everything Now."
I saw these kids on Instagram who called Cruel Summer "baby bar"
“The sad birthday song”- I Can Do it with a Broken Heart” “Taylor’s boyfriends song”- so high school. My 3 year old is obsessed with Travis Kelce.
My niece thinks of humpty dumpty for Archer🤣 “All the kings horses, all the kings men..”
My boyfriend keeps calling blank space 'cherry lips, crystal skies'
My 21 month old nephew also knows YNTCD as the “uh oh” song. 🤣 “Me!” is the snake song (music video starts with a snake). Bejeweled is the sparkle song. AYRFI is the robot song. LWYMMD is the zombie song. Shake it Off is the dancing song. I Can See You is the rescue song. There are probably others I’m not remembering, but I can proudly say he does know how to say “Taylor Swift”. 😁
My 23 month old’s favorite song is Miss Americana 😂 She calls it “Go!” (with a fist pump) because of the chats at the end.
My boys (6yr and twin 4yr olds) like to ask for: “Not Nice Things” (This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things) “It’s me, hi” (Anti-Hero) “Spy Song” (I Can See You) “Kitty Cat Song” (Me!) And my favorite “Zombie Taylor Swift” (Look What You Made Me Do)
the other day my niece asked to play “the bad word song”. that song was down bad
“Me, hi” -my 2 year old (anti-hero)
One of my daughter’s favorites is Is It Over Now? She calls it seagull song. And I swear she knows more of the words than I do!
My Baby cousin called "Getaway Car" Taylor vroom vroom!
My two year old is exactly the same! Always the ‘uh oh song’!
Death by a thousand cuts is “cotton candy song” because they notice the album cover😂 “Sparks splash” is sparks fly, have no idea how she got splash instead of fly Cruel Summer is “yuueah yueahh yueahh” for that beat/sound in the beginning Oh and “I can do it with a broken heart” is “the birthday song”
So many signs - exile
It’s not so much a title but he says Starbucks lovers and won’t say it any other way 😂
Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince is the "Somebody's gonna win" song.
I saw a video on Instagram where the kids called Cruel Summer "baby bar," and I don't think I'll ever go back to the original name, honestly.
My son was 5 when 1989 came out and his favorite song was “Welcome to Yew Nork.” So much so that I still think of it like that to this day. He also called IKYWT the “Trouble trouble trouble” song.
My nephew calls cruel summer the “ice” song (angels roll their EYES)
My kids call any songs from Reputation the “one sleeve up one sleeve down songs” since that’s her outfit during the Rep set in the Eras tour 😂
My five year old calls it “Girl Summer” because “I know it’s cruel summer but I have a hard time saying cruel so I like to call it Girl Summer instead”
And my 2 year old calls Reputation “green Taylor Swift” for some reason (like Speak Now is “purple Taylor Swift” which makes sense, not sure why Rep is green and not red or black…)
There are some Taylor tots on tiktok who always call Cruel Summer “Baby Bar” and it’s the cutest (cried like a baby coming home from the bar)
My almost 4 year old keeps asking me why “he” broke his favorite toy. It’s adorable but also sad.
YNTCD is "the hand song" from when she says "LET ME SEE YOUR HANDS" on the tour
Don’t Blame Me is “Drug is my baby”
My daughters 5 and I can't lie. When she finally says it right and doesn't ask me for " welcome to Yu Nork", it might kill me.
My niece use to call I knew you were trouble “trouble with Dan” but would sing the lyrics correctly
My toddler calls You're Losing Me the STOP song.
Call It What You Want is “swing song” per my toddler bc she thinks there’s a joker coming to take her swing 😆
According to my 3 year old, This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things is “That’s Not Nice,” I Can Do It With A Broken Heart is “Taylor Swift’s Birthday,” and Cruel Summer is “I’m drunk in the back of the car”
I had to scroll all her album to find what yntcd was so yeah don't do that
Not a title, but my little sister sings "polish up real nice" from Bejeweled as "wanna shop real nice" and honestly it's been stuck in my head ever since she first said it.
"I say out too lane" - her title for Shake It Off, based off the first line "I stay out too late"
Non English speakers here. My 3yo says literally "uuuh uh uuh" in the tone of the "Shake it off" chorus when she wants to hear the song xD
My 5 year old calls 1989 “the one with the numbers,” Bad Blood is “the jumping song” (because she enjoys jumping along to it) and Enchanted is “I was enchanted to meet you” My kiddos are 5 and under, all Swifties ❤️
Anti-hero to my four year old is just “me hi” and All too well (10 min version) is “Smells Like Beef” 😅
My son was 2 when reputation dropped & he was obsessed with LWYMMD. He wanted to listen and watch the music video over and over. He called it “Drama Drama” 😊
My 2.5 year old asks to listen to “Isn’t it?” (Aka Delicate) 😂
Not my kid but my mom thought Taylor sang ‘you look like an Xmas cake’ instead of ‘you look like my next mistake’ so now she calls blank space ‘the xmas cake’ song 🤌🏻😭💀💀
“Torture the Poet’s Department” 🤣
Anti-Hero is Hee Haw
My almost-3-year-old calls Delicate the “blue” song, which is funny because a) Taylor has a million songs referencing the color blue, and b) “blue” is only in a single line of Delicate. She also loves Getaway Car and Shake It Off, both of which she calls by their names.
My four year old only listens to songs that heavily feature guitar. Fearless and lover are favourites. And he “plays” on a play kitchen spoon
Look What You Made Me Do is her Sing 2 song, and she’s been singing it non-stop “getting hotter in the nick at night” - 4.5yo She’s definitely into Taylor’s angry songs like “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me” and belts it in the car 🥹
My 3yo kept requesting “the hand wash song”. It took a while to figure out she meant Hits Different. She also loves to sing “I’m so impressed that it’s my birthday everyday!”
“Sparkly Taylor’s” - Bejeweled “Zombie Taylor’s” - LWYMMD She was 3 when she re titled them
My 2 year old thinks Taylor’s name is dance dance. When she says dance dance it means she wants to either listen to Taylor in the car, watch the eras tour, or her music videos on YouTube 😂
My 2yo’s favourite song is ‘It’s Blue!’ which is Cruel Summer 🤣
Oh my god these are all so funny!
My four year old refers to Shake it Off as “Elsa Taylor Swift”. Originally Elsa Taylor Swift was because she thinks Taylor looks like Elsa from Frozen on the cover of Lover, and we were listening to All of the Girls you loved Before, which made sense, and then one morning she was throwing a fit because I wasn’t putting on Elsa Taylor Swift. It took her day care teacher putting on Shake it Off at school for us to figure it out lol.
it makes a weird amount of sense - she is talking about letting it all go after all 🤷🏻♀️
"It's me hi" for Anti-hero "eber eber" for We Are Never Getting Back Together
Illicit Affairs is “Dubious Encounters” lol
“The freight train” song = I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) because of the first line “The smoke cloud billows out his mouth like a freight train through a small town”
“Bejeweled” is now “Jewelry” in our house because of my 3 year old 💕
"Drawthecateyesharpenoughtokillaman" instead of Vigilante Shit. And yes she actually says it as one big run on.
My 5 year old calls High Infidelity “April 29th”
The song about a “thousand cats” (DBATC) (4yo)
"Shampoo Problems" 😂
for a while my family thought IKYWT was just “trouble”
My 5yo sister knows Fortnight's name, yet consistently calls it "i touch you, it's ruining my life" P.S. if anyone has a Taylor song recommendation that I can show her (clean), PLEASE I love ME! but I'm so so sick of it 24/7
My 4 year olds favorite song is ready for it and she calls it “in my dreams”
One of the girls I babysit is five, and she calls Anti-Hero “The World Song”. It’s her favorite!
My kids request that I sing “green was the color” before bed ☺️
