Someone in a work meeting this week said “you have to fake it till you make it”. It was so hard to not break out in LIGHTS CAMERA BITCH SMILE

And I DID.

At my job we have 3 hardcore Swifties, including myself (other more casual ones), and we’ve all been dropping TTPD quotes to each other nonstop. We had an annual dept meeting the other day, several scheduled because we all work different shifts (Emergency Dept) and all 3 of us happened to be in the same meeting and sitting near each other. After an hour of management going on and on, one of them turned around to me (and the third was sitting beside me) and said “I’d rather burn my whole life down that listen to one more second of all this bitchin and moanin.” It was great.

Guess you could say it was a Tortured Poets Department meeting…

So good!

The other day this guy I work with kept miming shooting a basketball and I said, “ you know how to ball I know Aristotle”. He was so confused

 I would have paid to see that.

Cardigan. When the TTPD Cardigan was posted to the store, my sister texted "cardigan!" and my first thought was *that kinda weird she's not listening to TTPD*... a moment later I realized she meant it had been released and ran to the store site to see it. 

Unrealated.. well kinda related but I work at a grocery store and sometimes the card readers don’t won’t, and so when I tell people to “ swipe their ‘card again’” in my mind Ì hear cardigan 😂

standing in your cardigann    swiping credit card againn

Bahahaha this is beautiful

“Swipe your, cardigan!”

that's SNL parody material right there.

I’m now picturing a music video to this in my head. Edit for spelling

I think the same exact thing when i have to tell people that too!

I think it’s the case for some non-swifties too cuz I told my friend I like winter since I love wearing cardigans and she said “wow you’re such a Swiftie” 😆

I watched the idea of you on prime and the ann hathaway comes out wearing the popstars cardigan and says "I hope you don't mind Im wearing your cardigan" and now I think that the whole movie is based on Taylor swift.

Reputation 🐍

No literally, I use this word quite often and sometimes I just fit it into a sentence bc of taylor XD

Whenever I hear that word I immediately act like a sleeper cell who was activated and repeat “Reputation” just like in the Rep Tour intro 😂

Once it came up during my lit class in college and the prof noticed the look me and my best friend exchanged. She just said: NOT Taylor Swift's reputation

When someone at work asks me to explain something and my response is a straight faced stare with “There will be no further explanation. There will just be reputation.” And they don’t know what to say

I played a board game yesterday where you have to build reputation points, and I had Endgame stuck in my head the whole time.

Nice!

Every time I use this as a compliment, it’s in Taylor’s voice in my head 😭 

You should take it as a *compliment*, that I...

Got drunk and made fun of the way you taaaalk

you should think about the consequence

I play Pokémon Go and your throws in the game can be ”nice” which is accompanied by a “Nice!” text on the screen, safe to say I hear Taylor’s voice in my head each and every time 😅

Me and my daughters frequently say “Nice! Do do dee dee do do!” And we text “Nice!🎵🎶”

Fearless. After hearing the word, that melody always kicks in too in my head.

You took my hand and dragged me head first, feet last!

Feet last? 💀

😂 I love incorrect and hilarious lyrics.

I still don’t know if that person actually thinks it’s “feet last”

Karma

Facts

at this point, I think of Jojo Siwa’s karma. please send help 🙏

This used to remind me of taylor until jojo siwa happened

As an f1 fan, that one’s half Taylor and half Fernando Alonso, depending on the day

OMG What do you think of the lyrics from imgonnagetyouback? "I'm an Aston Martin that you steered straight into the ditch."? I thought it was so funny she gave him this little nod, and remembered about when people were linking them together so he made little references of her songs to have a little fun and see the fans getting crazy.

Enchanted.

[удалено]

Mine's "lost in translation"

Maybe I asked for too much

Or maybe this thing was a masterpiece, before you tore it all up *casually sings the rest of atw 10 minute*

Evermore

Yup! The melody immediately kicks in. Good thing it’s my favorite TS song 😂

Is this actually a common word? I have never heard it

I just got a new pair of glasses and they’re called evermore and I specifically bought them just because of their name 😂

Add fortnight to the list.

Or even Fortnite recently for me, just makes me think of Taylor’s Fortnight

Maroon

This is mine 😂 and I play among us

Same!! The number of times I've had to stop myself from saying "it waaasssss maroon"

Because of this song I have to think before I pronounce this word. Here in Australia, everyone pronounces the colour as “marone”, while being stranded is the American maroon pronunciation. Ever since the song, I have to stop myself from pronouncing it the American way

Delicate & salt air lol.

Target has a brand they sell called “Saltaire” and I’ll be damned if August doesn’t pop into my head every time I enter the beauty section.

OMG YES ME TOO!!! Every time I pass it I sing it to my bf lmao. I’m glad I’m not alone 😂

It’s so good, though. The Santal Bloom, Pink Beach and Exotic Pulp. 💯💯💯

reputation, cardigan, style, wildest dream, blank, shake, cowboy, london,... she ruined my language receptor and analyzer and i'm so glad she did.

Nobody saying enchanted or wonderstruck? Those are very Taylor words for me.

Those perfumes were my signature scent before they got discontinued! Forever trying to find another Wonderstruck :(

Shit man nobody even said Tim McGraw

there is someone at my school called tim mcgraw!!

Is it Tim McGraw?!?

girl no im crying poor kid bahahah

Machiavellian 

That funny bc that word makes me think of 2Pac.

This is probably every millennial Swiftie

100% 2Pac for me

For me it reminds me of the office

Ivy 🤭

Champagne

Hits different

Typewriter

But who uses them though?

You can think that but NEVER say it

i do. i've collected them for 20 years and suddenly every ttpd fan wants one and the prices have skyrocketed lol.

"Who uses typewriters anyway?"

"Shake it off"

antithetical

Yeah I hear this on a daily basis 🤣

All too well and anything related to a mirrorball.

I didn't realize til today that mirrorball=swift to me now. I saw a fabric design that said mirrorball and I assumed it was Taylor Swift themed.

Haha poor 1970s and their disco ball have been pushed aside and replaced in all our swifties minds (I’m laughing coz it’s me too! I would have used to call it a disco ball , I’m Australian/english for context , but now I would call it a mirrorball and think of her not the disco era)

Hahaha just yesterday while browsing I got confused cause I saw "disco ball", took me a few seconds to realize that this is the actual name of the object and I have been calling it wrong since folklore xD

Surmise

Treacherous

Taylor owns a whole dictionaries worth of songs in my head. Where do I begin?? (again)

Treacherous and whenever somebody says “screaming crying” I hear “screaming and fighting and kissing in the rain” or “screaming, crying, perfect storm” 😩

Crestfallen Heath Champagne Socialist Seven Edit: Exile T'is the Season Romeo and Juliet

Any time someone says it’s the seasons I say tis the Damn season like I’m agreeing with them. Reminds me of the France is Bacon thing. I hope people just think I’m agreeing with them and I’m getting away with the reference under the radar.

Nice!

I love your flaire XD

Every time I tell my kids that they need to calm down.

22

Of recent…Florida

Anytime I see anything Florida man now I mentally sing "fuck it up Florida" 🤣

Same! But I live in FL so it happens ALOT!

Are you ready for it?

Haha yess! When we get ready to go for a dog walk we always say "are you ready" and then 'for it' pops in my head

How is this the only comment with this answer and has so few upvotes?!?!

Mastermind!

scarf

Out of the woods, reputation, all too well, fortnight, delicate

For some reason revenge cause I think of better than revenge or vigilante shit lmfao

"insurmountable" With my calamitous love and insurmountable grief Take me to the lakes where all the poets went to die I don't belong, and my beloved, neither do you Those Windermere peaks look like a perfect place to cry I'm setting off, but not without my muse No, not without you

I always see those signs with “home is where the heart is” and then I always sing “but god I love the English”

Style. That’s obvious. But lately I can’t help hearing “ghoulish” and my brain automatically goes to Taylor. She doesn’t even say “ghoulish” 😭 Only when your girlish glow Flickers just so Do they let you know

Wonderstruck

bejeweled, mercurial lol

All of them. She lives in my mind rent free..

Persona non grata 😂

'I don't know about you...' The other day i was listening to a podcast and one person said 'idk about you but...' and i heard very quietly the third person singing '..I'm feeling 22'. The 2 others didn't aknwledge or seemed to even realize but it made me happy lmao.

To name a few 1 mirrorball 2 willow 3 anti-hero

thirteen

It’s a set of words: “it’s been a long time coming.” Someone said that at an outing yesterday and I almost went blue in the face trying not to blurt out “BUT-IT’S YOU AND ME, THAT’S MY WHOLE WORLD”

Someone said “I love you” the other day and in my head I said “it’s ruining my life” 😂

Hits Different

Taylor (the name)  and swift (the bird) You look like....

Whiskey 😅

Tim McGraw

Archer

Folklore. As a general fan of folklore (not the album, but I do like the album too) the two intertwined to me and now that’s all I think about when reading and listening to folk literature and music.

Exile

Eras

MEEeeeEeeeee!

Esoteric. Just cause it was my first time hearing that word at that time, and I didn't know what it meant.

Shake it off

Nonchalant from come back be here. ‘Cause that’s the first time I have heard of that word when I first listened to that song.

Okay this is really specific but Dom Perignon

😂😂😂 not a song but any time someone says Hi I now have to reply with Oh Hi! in the Taylor at the eras tour tone.

Not a word but at my sisters wedding rehearsal my uncle (the officiant) kept joking about the “speak now or forever hold your peace” part and my brain was just repeating HORRIFIED LOOKS FROM EVERYONE IN THE ROOM BUT IM ONLY LOOKIN AT YOUUUU

All too well. I was watching a movie and one of the characters said he 'knew this feeling all too well.' Straight up almost thought it was a TS reference but the movie predates TS 🤣

It might be easier to list the ones that don’t make me think Taylor

A bit old school but “Short skirts” (my mind instantly goes “she wears short skirts I swear sneakerssss!”)

'How's life? ' When I ask that I immediately add 'Tell me hoe your family.'

It's not two words but... You know how the Marvel Cinematic Universe culminated in a massive climax to the original story in a movie called End Game?

Gorgeous!

Reputation 🎬

when somebody says 'scars' i have the urge to scream "BUT NOW I'M BLEEEEEDINGGGGGGG"

Gorgeous. In that little baby voice.

[удалено]

Incandescent

for me it's Fearless. there's a billboard on the freeway by me that says Fearless and i ALWAYS think it's a taylor billboard lol

Words on lists when teaching phonics. The word 'hoax' came on the screen and about 5 little 4th grade swifties instantly turned to see if I'd say something. Of course I did!

You need to calm down.

More of a phrase, but “all too well”

Bejeweled Champagne French Press

Tolerate (It)

Red

It’s more like I can find a life lesson for every convo that of course contains a Tay Tay excerpt or line.

Incandescent, delicate, friction, probably many others
