Fans were devastated when it was announced that they broke up, as evidenced by the amount of streaming gains the song she explicitly stated (or otherwise widely agreed upon) to be inspired about him suggested.

** Both the music videos for "cardigan" and "willow" are pretty trippy. They aren't as noticeable like her "ME!" video since they both have a fairy tale vibe and are continuation of each other.

Then she step into the stool and found herself suddenly in the middle of the ocean and cling to the piano before climbing into the piano to go back to her original location]].
*** The music video for "willow" somehow managed to top "cardigan" in term of weirdness. Swift starts at the end of the "cardigan" music video and steps into her piano and step into several different scenes, which include a river [[TheManInTheMirrorTalksBack that reflects a man who isn't there]], [[ChildhoodFriendRomance a tent with what seem to be a child version of Taylor and the man]], a glass case, a snowy forest with people dancing to some pagan RitualMagic before [[ExcusePlot reuniting with the man]].

** "And I say: That's My Baby And I'm Proud". [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the interview of Andrea Swift from 2013 has led to this meme to rise as a way to express how proud someone is.[[/labelnote]]
** It's become something of an internet tradition to play "22" or quote its chorus on a post for someone's 22nd birthday.
** In the early 2010s due to the popularity of ''Film/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorld'', a graphic was made of Scott being told he'd have to fight all of Taylor's exes and going OhCrap.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BCv-HxktZFc The "Goat Edition" of "I Knew You Were Trouble."]]
** People answering a question like "Is that Taylor Swift??" with "No, it's Becky." [[labelnote:Explanation]]This originated with a troll post on Tumblr where someone posted an old photo of Taylor but claimed it was their friend Becky, who died of a marijuana overdose in middle school. Taylor herself even wore a "no it's becky" shirt at one point. Taylor's mother, Andrea, once wore a neck name tag that said "No, it's Debbie". It became funny with fans to the point that an official news article called her Debbie and Andrea herself even had a mug that had a screencap of the news site's article.[[/labelnote]]
** "Im'a let you finish, but..." [[labelnote:Explanation]]The infamous Music/KanyeWest interruption of her winning in the 2009 MTV Award.[[/labelnote]]
** Following a popular mishearing in the chorus of "Blank Space", the original line being "Got a long list of ex-lovers", which sounded to many like "All the lonely Starbucks lovers", a humorous parody about [[http://mashable.com/2014/12/12/moms-sing-blank-space-parody-is-about-their-true-love-coffee/ fans of the coffee chain]] emerged.
*** Also from Blank Space, likening the lyrics "Got a long list of ex lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane, but I've got a blank space baby, and I'll write your name" to linking this to other deadly notebooks like Anime/DeathNote or ''Manga/FutureDiary''. It has Yuno's name (so to speak) written all over it. There's even a video of a girl who [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gfXXtFzHx6w cosplayed as Yuno while singing the song and looking incredibly creepy]].
*** Tumblr took the line "Darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream" and applied it to... well, every single female character they could justify it for, and a few they couldn't.
** Taylor's crotch chop at the end of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6wiTvt-pDc this]] video spawned an epic 30-page Website/SomethingAwful photoshop thread. Just some of the highlights can be found [[http://www.somethingawful.com/photoshop-phriday/taylor-swift-chop/1/ here]] and [[http://www.somethingawful.com/comedy-goldmine/swift-chop-gifs/1/ here]].
** "I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now. Why? [[{{Narm}} 'Cause she's dead.]]" from "Look What You Made Me Do."[[labelnote:Explanation]]The video was released after an extremely long period of time of silence from Taylor following the 2016 #[=KimExposedTaylor=] debacle and instantly become memorable due to the sheer change in [[NewWaveMusic sound]] and image compare to her previous albums.[[/labelnote]]
*** Speaking of which, [[WebVideo/{{Jacksfilms}} "Jack did it better."]] has become a popular joke about the song, even with those who liked it in the first place.
*** And now, with the release of the third ''reputation'' single "Gorgeous" and the fact that it wouldn't sound out of place in her previous album, ''1989'', people are triumphantly saying "She's ''not'' dead!"
** "Taylor hates [[Music/KanyeWest Kanye]]", [[labelnote:Explanation]]Stems from detractors saying "Look What You Made Me Do" (and guessing (correctly) ''reputation.'') is about him. Big in depth responses were also made in light to the fact the album's release date is on the anniversary of Donda West's death. Although that will quickly be shouted down by her fans.[[/labelnote]]
** "Name a bitch badder than Taylor Swift"[[labelnote:Explanation]]A tweet that went viral with people quote retweeting it with examples of historical/important/inspirational women, though there's lots of evidence to suggest the original tweet was tongue-in-cheek to begin with.[[/labelnote]]
** #drunktaylor. [[labelnote:Explanation]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oFcJsuEo1vc This video of Taylor dancing to You Need To Calm Down]] became viral on Twitter, and the hashtag "#drunktaylor" instantly became a worldwide trend. She herself was even amazed of it becoming a meme. The thing is however, it's not clear if Taylor was really drunk or not, but what matters?[[/labelnote]]
** (Taylor's Version)[[labelnote:Explanation]]The bitter war between Taylor and her old record label leading to the rerecording of all of her first six albums has inspired fans to put this quote after many of their socia media accounts to support her rerecording effort, especially prevalent after the rerelease of ''Fearless (Taylor's Version)''[[/labelnote]]
*** (Taylor's Version)(From the Vault)(Elvira Remix)(Sad Autumn Girl Verions)(Recorded at Long Pond Studio)[[labelnote:Explanation]]That said, a lot of fans poke fun at her for the sheer ColonCancer on her track listing of ''Red (Taylor's Version)'', with gems like "All Too Well (Taylor's Version)(10 Minutes Version)(From the Vault) and its slower remix adding (Sad Autumn Girl Version)(Recorded at Long Pond Studio)[[/labelnote]]
** The lyric "Got nothing in my brain" from the song ''Shake It Off'' frequently gets used in videos of people or animals doing unintelligent things, the lyric itself played on a continuous loop.
** I think I've seen this film before, and I didn't like the ending.[[labelnote:explanation]]A line from "exile", commonly used to compare scenes from different media with similar TearJerker outcomes.[[/labelnote]]
** Joe Alwyn (Pisces) [[labelnote:explanation]][[https://www.thecut.com/2018/09/joe-alwyn-says-words-about-taylor-swift.html From a gossip article]] that only refer to her then-boyfriend Joe Alwyn by his astronomy sign has been adapted into the fandom to refer to him because of how publicly private they were about their relationship. Even after his involvement as William Bowery led him to become a major EnsembleDarkhorse, some fans still call him this affectionately. Not help is that Taylor herself seems to obsess with astrology and constellation in her lyrics and music videos.[[/labelnote]]
** Joe Alwyn is poor. [[labelnote:explanation]]From ''reputation'' onward, one of the major themes in her love songs that are inspired by Joe is that she doesn't need financial or shallow material gifts from him to be happy... which led to many fans jokingly came to the conclusion that Joe is poor and has been running with this ever since. In reality, Alwyn came from a [[https://www.houseofnames.com/alwyn-family-crest prestigious family]] and has a personal net work of around $5 millions.[[/labelnote]]
** "It's me, hi! I'm the problem, it's me!"[[labelnote:explanation]]This catchy line from the chorus of "Anti-Hero" became memetic after the release of ''Midnights''.[[/labelnote]]
** "Taylor Hates Evermore" [[labelnote:explanation]]The disproportionate attention Taylor gave to ''folklore'' as opposed to its sister album ''evermore'' has made fans jokingly made this meme. This got a MemeAcknowledgement on her Eras tour and probably why the album got ''5'' songs on the setlist.[[/labelnote]]
** "Joe Alwyn can you fight?" [[labelnote:explanation]]Her male / Sapphic fans will use this meme tongue in cheeks whenever she appears in a suggestive or just very beautiful outfit in a public outing.[[/labelnote]]
*** "Guess Joe Alwyn can't fight." [[labelnote:explanation]]The variation of the meme after their break up annoucement.[[/labelnote]]
*** "Joe Alwyn PLEASE FIGHT." / "Joe Alwyn PLEASE DO SOMETHING" / "Joe Alwyn PLEASE COME BACK"[[labelnote:explanation]]Another variation of the meme after more details about their break up was released, especially with the track "You're Losing Me" as well as Taylor engage in a short-lived but highly publicized romance with [[Music/The1975 Matty Healy]] that fans heavily dislike due to his problematic past [[https://www.buzzfeed.com/stephaniesoteriou/taylor-swift-fans-disappointed-matty-healy-controversies behaviors]] and [[https://www.buzzfeed.com/stephaniesoteriou/taylor-swift-fans-distancing-matty-healy-brutalize-women comments]].[[/labelnote]]
** "Come back to me, Eli." [[labelnote:explanation]]The way she pronounced the first line in the chorus of the original version of "If This Was A Movie" led to many mishearing it. Making the situation worse is that the song was a bonus track and was released before the existence of streaming, leading to no official lyric handbook available from Taylor. This died down with the rerelease of the song where she clearly pronounced it as "Come back to me like." by adding a little pause between "me" and "like".[[/labelnote]]
*** From the same song, "I've been waiting for you _ since you've been gone." [[labelnote:explanation]]Once again, in the original version of the song, her pronunciation of the word between "you" and "since" is drowned out by the background music led to many fans argue and disagree with each other about what exactly the lyric was, which didn't help by the lack of official lyric handbook available from Taylor. Popular picks include "weary" and "ever". Taylor finally settled the debate with the rerelease when she tweaked the production to be less loud and clearly pronounce the word to be "everyday".[[/labelnote]]
** "OP is a Swiftie." [[labelnote:explanation]]When {{Website/Tumblr}} introduced polls, one popular Taylor-centric blog posted a poll about their favorite Taylor songs, which got a lot of traction on the website, which led to people outside the fandom seeing it. This led to a lot of tags and comments complaining that all the options were Taylor songs... despite the fact that it originated from a Taylor blog with a Taylor-themed username, so it should've been pretty clear who the target demographic was. This led to a tongue-in-cheek meme of fans marking all their Taylor-themed posts with text and banners reading "OP is a Swiftie" as a warning.[[/labelnote]]
** "Facts." [[labelnote:explanation]]From the "Karma" remix with Music/IceSpice. The remix is generally considered SoOkayItsAverage compare to the original version, this line by Ice Spice was considered by many to be hilarious and examplified of the main problem of the remix: Ice Spice's energy is much more subdued and clashed horribly with the beat and Taylor's vocal.[[/labelnote]]
** "And I say: That's My Baby And I'm Proud". [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the interview of Andrea Swift from 2013 has led to this meme to rise as a way to express how proud someone is.[[/labelnote]]

* AudienceAlienatingEra: The late 2010s was not a great time for Swift's public image both as a celebrity and an artist, mainly due to her [[NoSuchThingAsBadPublicity inescapable publicity in the media]] in the wake of ''1989'' and its massive success. When ''reputation'' came out, many fans and critics were disappointed in its "trend-chasing" electronic/hip-hop inspired production and her focus on responding to the press and her personal rivals, which many at this point were just exhausted of hearing about. While still the best selling album of the year, its performance was a notable step-down from ''1989'', and it took until the album's fourth single (the much more personal and relatable "Delicate") for the album to produce a truly sustained hit. Some see the era as stretching further into 2019, with the middling reviews received for ''Lover'' lead singles "ME!" and "You Need to Calm Down" and its further diminished performance when compared to its predecessor. In Swift's ''Miss Americana'' documentary released at the same time, she even went as far as to state that she was past her commercial peak as she entered into her 30s. The very next year, however, ''folklore'''s raving critical reception led to a reappraisal of Swift's entire discography right in time for her "Taylor's Version" rerecordings, launching her right back to the peak of the pop music moutain.
