Welcome to New York (From 1989 [Taylor’s Version])
This song is the perfect montage, whether you’re discovering a new place or you simply feel excited about a new day as you commute through the hustle and bustle of the city!
It’s no wonder this song was featured in The Secret Life of Pets: Its upbeat intro and catchy lyrics would make you dance to its beat while hyping yourself to everything you’re looking forward to.
Enchanted (From Speak Now [Taylor’s Version])
Imagine this: Someone caught your eye for the first time, and you fell in love with him (or her). You can’t help but become intrigued by that person, finding out every little detail. Then you find yourself imagining what you two can do together when you’re in a relationship and yearning for that person at the same time to not fall in love with someone else.
That’s what “Enchanted” is about. It begins with an acoustic guitar leading up to the romantic vibes you’re going for when you fall in love at first sight. Then it drops to a beat filled with drums, electric guitar, and violin, which perfectly captures the moment when you want to scream out your confession to your crush. Before you know it, you’re imagining a slow dance with that person while you’re suddenly singing, “Please don’t fall in love with someone else.”
Crazier (From Hannah Montana the Movie OST)
POV: It’s 2009 again when Taylor Swift appears onstage at a barn in Hannah Montana the Movie, gets her guitar out, and serenades you with this swoon-worthy song as you imagine yourself dancing with your crush or your significant other while you look at each other with your hands linked together (wink, wink).
This song tugs at your heartstrings and makes it feel like love is in the air because all she needed was her guitar to get that authentic country music style and a little bit of romance that will definitely make you feel crazier with butterflies and loads of kilig!
Begin Again (From Red [Taylor’s Version])
If you’re healing from a breakup or from something in your life that you’re accepting, then this song is like a friend comforting you with its slow guitar followed by a gentle and mellow melody, making it the perfect song to heal your heart while slowly picking yourself up again. This song reminds us that it’s okay to start over again and accept that things have happened for a reason while you’re in your healing era.
You’re On Your Own, Kid (From Midnights)
Every healing era comes with a feeling that you want to make a drastic change, break free from your comfort zone, and completely start over after a breakup or a difficult time in your life.
This song starts off bittersweet and nostalgic, looking back on what life was like (and what you were like) before you’ve felt broken. It reminds us that you can still yearn for love while slowly rebuilding a stronger version of yourself. As the song slowly climaxes towards the end, you’d feel that you’re becoming more aware of who you are: Someone who’s brave enough to break out of your comfort zone to meet new people and try out new things while rediscovering parts of you that were missing all along when you’re healing.
In short, this song is an ode to all the people who have taken the first step to a fresher beginning out of something bad that happened, even if that means stepping out of your comfort zone bit by bit until you become the version of yourself that you’ve rebuilt.
Never Grow Up (From Speak Now [Taylor’s Version])
This song hits all the sentimental notes just right with its melancholic yet nostalgic melody from Taylor’s guitar. It’s perfect when a wave of nostalgia hits you while missing the version of yourself where everything is new and exciting. This song is also a quiet hug for those who are homesick and want to remember the good old days while reminding your younger siblings to actually take every big and small memory with the ones you love so that you’ll have something to look back on.
Starlight (From Red [Taylor’s Version])
Night at the beach? Check. Girlfriends? Check. Sparklers? Check!
All that’s missing is the song that fits the vibe. And this is that song that starts with a sparkling beat that feels like a soundtrack to an unforgettable girls’ night out and to dance to a marvelous tune while having the best night with your friends! This song also serves as a reminder that the best way to end your day is with good friends and a good time.
Throughout each era, we bring a piece of Taylor Swift with us, especially when you go through every season in life. These songs will make you feel as if you’re the main character of your own movie, feeling every heartbreak, love, good time, and healing as you dance and belt the lyrics out. But one thing we’ll tell you is that there is a Taylor Swift song for every moment you feel.
Add these songs to your playlist and let your cameras roll for a movie to remember!
