Go To

1* "Thug Story". That is all.
2* This line from "Hey Stephen". "All those other girls, well they're beautiful, but would they write a song for you?"
3* The "Monologue Song." Whoulda thunk someone as sweet and innocent as Taylor Swift could be so [[DeadpanSnarker sarcastic]] when she wanted to be? (You'd be extremely surprised.)
4** Also counts as CMOA since she was the only SNL host to write their own monologue.
5* The opening line from "Better Than Revenge" (and, to a lesser extent, the whole song):
6-->''"Now, go stand in the corner and think about what you did."''
7** The FridgeBrilliance of the line in "Better Than Revenge", "She thinks I'm psycho cause I like to rhyme her name with things.", when you realize it's a TakeThat at Joe's new girlfriend following Taylor's breakup with Joe, Camilla ''Belle''.
8* "Mean" may not be a comical song, but there's something very ''nine-year-olds-in-the-playground'' about the general sentiment:
9-->''Someday, I'll be living in a big ole city''
10-->''And all you're ever going to be is mean''
11* The photocopier scene from "Ours". Taylor sees a large "OUT OF PAPER" notice on the copier. She later comes back with a stack of paper only to see the label now reads "OUT OF TONER". She then brings a toner cartridge, except now the photocopier is missing entirely.
12** And the in-universe "behind-the-scene" [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdMI-HCO5QY video]], which is a PerspectiveFlip from the view of her coworkers (done in the style of ''Series/TheOfficeUS'').
13* Taylor laying on the [[DeadpanSnarker snark]] in "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together":
14-->'''Taylor:''' And you, will hide away and find your peace of mind, with some indie record that's '''[[SarcasmMode much]]''' [[SarcasmMode cooler than mine.]]
15* The music video for "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nfWlot6h_JM Shake It Off]]", which keeps {{Genre Shift}}ing like she can't figure out what kind of music video she's making. At various points she is booty-shaking as a ballerina, doing a Music/LadyGaga homage, doing a DoubleTake at her backup dancers twerking, and finally falls on her butt trying to do a ballerina pose with a [[ExactlyWhatIAimedAt "I meant to do that"]] nod afterwards.
16** She also drops her pompoms at one point. In another segment, a sheet is thrown at her which she's clearly supposed to catch and do gymnastics with, but instead it covers her entire upper body and she keeps twirling around as though she's hoping nobody will notice. The whole music video seems to be aimed at making her seem like kind of an un-coordinated dork compared to the more skilled dancers in the video.
17* Taylor's been a goldmine of {{Adorkable}} humor since [[http://taylorswift.tumblr.com she joined]] Website/{{Tumblr}}, but undoubtedly the mother of 'em all was when she [[AscendedMeme ascended a meme]] for them. [[http://www.buzzfeed.com/jennaguillaume/taylor-swift-no-its-becky#.buZd6BXE2 Behold.]]
18* And behold [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JltEXpbGM8s her appearance]] on the "Ew!" segment of ''The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon'' ("n-n-n-no, my mom hasn't let me watch television since Music/MileyCyrus twerked"). Guess who would also go on to make an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rss3Dv-PTaU appearance?]]
19* Some sick mind out there actually made [[https://soundcloud.com/david_rees/sets/aphex-swift an album's worth]] of Taylor Swift[=/=]Music/AphexTwin mashups.
20* Her over-the-top music video for "Blank Space" takes how the media sees Taylor and turns her into PlayedForLaughs AxCrazy lover.
21** Jersey Mike's Subs tweeted a photo with a sub with a blank space and Taylor's signature #13.
22* Some of the code names in "Bad Blood" are this. [[PunnyName "Mother-Chucker" and "Slay-Z"]], anyone?
23** Also, Music/KendrickLamar when he sings "Still all my life I got money and power. And you gotta live with the bad blood now." [[note]]actually something of a CallBack to his own song "Backseat Freestyle", which had the line "all my life I want money and power"[[/note]]
24* [[http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/dec/07/taylor-swift-spotify-lostprophets In December 2015,]] someone decided to [[MisattributedSong credit "I Knew You Were Trouble"]] to another artist (Music/{{Lostprophets}}) and tack on a screenshot from ''WesternAnimation/ScaredySquirrel''.
25** Another mix-up involving digital distribution resulted in her [[http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/6289411/taylor-swift-tops-canadian-itunes-chart-eight-seconds-white-noise topping the Canadian iTunes charts with eight seconds of static.]] The upload itself was a glitch, but the sales were apparently the legitimate results of her fan base getting overly eager for new music, and the placeholder track even ended up outselling the actual singles released ahead of ''1989''.
26* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sglhUN2zguU Taylor vs. The Spider]]
27* All of the music video for Look What You Made Me Do, especially the ending.
28-->'''Grammy!Taylor:''' I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative...\
29'''Everyone Else:''' Oh, '''[[BigShutUp SHUT UP!]]'''
30* The middle eight of "Look What You Made Me Do" is {{narm}}y, but [[NarmCharm it still works]].
31-->''"I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now / Why? / Oh, 'cause she's dead!"''
32* Who did Taylor dress up as on Halloween in 2016? [[ComicBook/{{Deadpool}} Lady Deadpool]]!
33** And for 2015? [[WesternAnimation/Frozen2013 Olaf]]. Bonus, she was joined on stage by Creator/IdinaMenzel, who sang "Let It Go" dressed as Elsa.
34* Taylor kicking Andy Samberg through a wall in her [=#TaylorSwiftNow=] promo video is already pretty funny, but it's even better if you watch ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'', where Samberg's character Jake was once detained at one of her concerts. [[NoodleIncident Apparently, she's got a restraining order against him, too.]]
35* "Gorgeous" has a pretty funny line in:
36--> Guess I'll just stumble on home to my cats. ''(sigh)'' Alone.
37** In the Netflix ''Reputation'' tour special, there's choreography to match this lyric, where two of the backup dancers get in front of Taylor and start acting like cats that want attention, while the rest hold their hands up behind their heads like cat ears... And to complete the picture a collage of Taylor's cats suddenly appears onscreen surrounding them all, looking rather like a Facebook profile picture frame.
38* The video for "Delicate" - Taylor briefly turns invisible at some kind of public event, leading to her throwing aside her heels and underskirt to do some deliberately goofy dancing through a hotel, a subway, and down the street in the rain. Prior to that, she tries various things to get people to notice her - including jumping up and down and flailing wildly behind her bodyguard. The conclusion has her walking into a bar barefoot and completely soaking wet, then suddenly realizing that whatever happened just wore off and everyone can see her again.
39* "This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" is hilarious throughout, but especially the bridge:
40-->'''Taylor:''' And here's to you, 'cause [[TurnTheOtherCheek forgiveness is a nice thing to do]]. ''({{Beat}}, followed by Taylor cracking up.)'' [[SubvertedTrope I can't even say it with a straight face!]]
41* The first verse of "Stay Stay Stay" from ''Red'', which is snarkily sung:
42-->I'm pretty sure we almost broke up last night
43-->I threw my phone across the room, at you
44-->I was expecting some dramatic turn away but you stay
45-->This morning I said we should talk about it
46-->'Cause I read you should never leave a fight unresolved
47-->That's when you came in wearing a football helmet
48-->And said okay let's talk
49-->And I said
50* During a guest bit on ''SNL'', Taylor appears out of the blue during Seth Rogen's monologue.
51-->'''Rogen:''' Why did you come?\
52'''Taylor:''' You were getting really upset, and whenever a man shows emotion... [[SelfDeprecation I appear]].
53* "...Ready For It?" opens up as a aggresive, in your face song about this guy and how awesome he is, as if she's bragging about her latest score. And then the refrain does a MoodWhiplash into a lovesick ballad about how she dreams about being with him, implying that she's still admiring him from afar. Not to mention what the song implies about the "dreams".
54* The music video for "ME!" has many funny moments.
55** It opens with Taylor and Brendon Urie (playing her husband) having an argument in which Taylor is in full LargeHam mode.
56** This bit:
57--->'''Brendon:''' You're so dramatic!\
58'''Taylor:''' ''[[IResembleThatRemark HOW]] [[NotHelpingYourCase DARE]] [[ChewingTheScenery YOU]]''?!
59** Taylor berates Brendon for arguing with her in front of their "young daughters." Cut to Taylor's cats sitting on the couch.
60** The fact that they're arguing ''in French'' just pushes the absurdity over the top.
61** Later in the video, Brendon tries to make up with Taylor by giving her flowers. She just pouts and ignores him. He offers her a big diamond ring. Still no dice. Brendon pulls a CuteKitten out of nowhere? Suddenly Taylor's all smiles and forgives him.
62* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AxBTwMYkCBI Anthony Vincent's cover]] of "Bad Blood" in the style of Music/{{Disturbed}}. With the monkey noises and [[LargeHam ham]].
63* Posing for a picture with Music/MarilynManson. [[https://www.altpress.com/news/marilyn-manson-taylor-swift-photo-wango-tango/ It has to be seen to be believed.]]
64* ''Miss Americana'' opens with a cute, funny moment: Taylor is trying to concentrate on playing piano when her kitten starts walking on the keys.
65* Midway through the "Anti-Hero" video, we get a funeral scene where the attendants are there not to pay last respects, but to find out what they'll inherit. Instead, the deceased has willed that her beach house be turned into a cat sanctuary, leaving her descendants with [[ArcNumber thirteen]] cents. Bickering, finger-pointing, and a brawl ensues, while Taylor just sneaks out of the casket and leaves quietly.
66* The "Bejeweled" music video is a play on the Cinderella story, and it's absolutely hilarious.
67** The video opens with House Wench Taylor cleaning while her stepsisters and stepmother (played to perfection by [[Music/{{Haim}} the Haim sisters]] and Creator/LauraDern respectively) talk about an upcoming talent contest, where the winner gets a castle and a proposal from the prince. The stepmother proudly says she's prepared her daughters by ''poisoning all the other maidens''.
68** The stepfamily naturally takes the time to insult and berate Taylor, who just keeps cleaning, but snarkily asks if they really have to do "the verbal abuse thing" every time they go out. Apparently, the answer is "yes."
69** At the end, Prince Jack is forced to propose to Taylor because she won the contest, per the rules... and she ghosts him and takes the castle anyway. He seems fine with this.
70* The narrator of "But Daddy I Love Him" pulling a BaitAndSwitch with "I'm having his baby! [{{Beat}}] No I'm not, but you should see your faces!"
