Top 10 Taylor Swift memes

1. Making hit songs out of broken relationships

It is no news that Taylor Swift’s songs are often inspired by her relationship with her ex-boyfriends. They range from how heartbroken she was to how she was able to pick herself up and move on to something better. Honestly, these songs are what many believe defined Swift’s status as a superstar, and they may not be wrong.

2. Talking to the exes

Swift writes her songs, so they have to be personal. This meme probably implies that some of her exes may feel offended by what she wrote about them. We may never know what they think. But this is Swift telling them to get over themselves because her songs are not always about them, right? What do you think she means?

3. Swift to anti-Swifties

Yeah, say whatever you want to say about Swift, you cannot deny that her songs have earned her world records. For instance, she is the first artist to become a billionaire based on her records and songwriting. This type of achievement will probably make her deaf to all criticisms. You would probably do the same if you were in her shoes.

4. Maybe she is the problem

In most of Swift’s songs, she always blamed her exes for what happened in their relationships. Now, when the anti-Swifties are not calling her out for writing songs about her exes, they are calling her out for writing a one-sided story. They imply that she should take some of the blame for all those failed relationships by writing about them too. We are still waiting for when Swift will do that, just like Bruno Mars did in “When I Was Your Man”.

5. That’s just for fun

This meme must have been made by a Swiftie. They have assigned her a songwriting god status. There is no doubt that Swift is a prolific songwriter, winning many prestigious awards based on her skills. She has accomplished so much from things that many find difficult to start, let alone finish. To any Swiftie fan, Taylor Swift is a songwriting GOAT.

6. Making a million bucks from a breakup

When life throws you lemons, you make lemonade. In Swift’s case, when her relationship ends, she simply creates songs from it to make millions. It is that simple. You cannot have a broken relationship and still be broke. When one door closes, another opens with lots of opportunities to thrive and be the best of yourself.

7. She cannot sing

An anti-Swiftie must have made this meme. The truth is Taylor Swiftie is not usually considered a vocal goddess or the voice like Whitney Houston, Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, Celine Dion and the rest. So, the anti-Swifties have concluded that she can only sing well when they are deaf.

8. You need to calm down

Do you remember Swift’s 2019 hit song, “You Need To Calm Down”? It was the second single from her seventh studio album, Lover. In the song, Swift voiced her support for the LGBTQ+ community, telling internet trolls and homophobes to “calm down”. The song became a “gay anthem” despite receiving mixed reactions, reaching number one in Scotland, number two in the United States and the top five in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Malaysia, New Zealand and the United Kingdom.

“You Need To Calm Down” received nine nominations, winning Video of the Year and Video for Good at the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards. So, tell your stomach “You need to calm down” when it rumbles due to hunger. It is very important, especially now that SAPA is dealing with everybody in Naija.

9. When you meet a fellow Swiftie

The best part about meeting them is the fact they like the same songs you like. This type of encounter is rare and should be cherished. It will be named as one of the greatest moments of your life.

10. After breaking up with Harry Styles

Some of Taylor Swift’s exes are renowned singers and Hollywood stars. One of them is Harry Styles, a former member of the defunct boy group, One Direction. The duo had a brief romance between 2012 and 2013. During their brief relationship, they were regarded as one of pop’s most iconic power couples and dubbed “Haylor”.

In November 2023, Swift released a song titled “Is It Over Now?” Fans began to speculate that the song was about Styles and the tumultuous end to their relationship in January 2013. Swift has not debunked the speculations, so we will never know the truth.
