Line #28 Heartwarming/TaylorSwift


1	* The ending to the video for "Love Story" can get to certain people. Particularly when the couple being compared to good ol' dead Romeo and Juliet, having been split up by Juliet's dad, reunite, and the chorus is sung a bit differently...* sniff* It's better if you hear the whole song.
2	-->"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone\
3	I love you, and that's all I really know\
4	I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress\
5	[[HappilyEverAfter It's a love story, baby, just say yes]]..."
6	* Swift's song "Enchanted" is a sweet song about meeting [[Music/OwlCity Adam Young]] and being, well, enchanted. The Valentine's Day after it was released, Adam posted [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9qKHGsoc8k his own version]] of the song on his blog, directed to her. The heartwarming is pretty well summed up by his tweet about it: "Dear Taylor, everything about you is beautiful. I want you to know I was enchanted to meet you too." The music makes it even more magical and meaningful.
7	** The last lines of Adam's version are especially touching, in response to the lyrics, "Please don't be in love with someone else, please don't have somebody waiting on you." In this version, he assures her:
8	-->''I was never in love with someone else.''\
9	''I never had somebody waiting on me.''\
10	'''Cause you were all of my dreams come true,''\
11	''and I just wish you knew,''\
12	''Taylor, I was'' so ''in love with you.''
13	* The MeaningfulEcho in "Mine". In the story of the song, the [[BrokenBird young woman]] remembers "how we sat there by the water/you put your arm around me for the first time/ you made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter/ you are the best thing that has ever been mine." At the song's conclusion, the woman fights with her husband, and feeling he is going to abandon her, runs off in despair. But he finds her and repeats the same words (i.e. the refrain) she has been singing in the whole song back to her with loving reassurance that he will never leave her.
14	-->I remember how we felt sitting by the water
15	-->And every time I look at you, it's like the first time
16	-->I fell in love with a careless man's careful daughter
17	-->She is the best thing that's ever been mine.
18	* "Our Song" and "The Best Day" are both long, beautiful ones.
19	* The ending to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Vki84ZbTMQ "Ours."]]
20	* "Long Live." That song ''is'' friendship.
21	* "Starlight" inspired by a photograph from a long time ago, warming hearts everywhere right now...''Don't you dream impossible things?''.
22	* "Stay Stay Stay" inspired by her desire to find a guy she won't want to leave and find the answer to a long lasting love affair.
23	* "Treacherous" as sexy as the lyrics are, the production is kind of heart felt and sweet.
24	---> I can't decide if it's a choice, getting swept away
25	---> I hear the sound of my own voice, asking you to..stay
26	---> all we are is skin and bone, trained to get along
27	---> forever going with the flow, but your friction...
28	* "Begin Again", considering that she frequently writes songs that [[TakeThat take shots]] at her exes (something that often causes her to be seen as less likeable.) This is a genuinely heartfelt song about being so in love with her new boyfriend that she doesn't even feel the need to dwell on her previous heartbreaks.
29	* While "The Lucky One" is rather sad in some aspects (it being a RockstarSong that's more about ArtistDisillusionment), when you consider what happens to so many other {{White Dwarf Starlet}}s in real life, it is sort of nice to hear that the nameless starlet Swift is singing about is still alive, well, and happy.
30	* "Innocent", the song she wrote for Kanye West after the VMA incident:
31	--->It's all right, just wait and see
32	--->Your string of lights is still bright to me
33	--->Who you are is not where you've been
34	--->You're still an innocent
35	--->It's okay, life is a tough crowd
36	--->Thirty-two and still growing up now
37	--->[[TurnTheOtherCheek Who you are is not what you did]]
38	--->You're still an innocent.
39	* "You Are In Love", a genuinely sweet and heartfelt love song. This line is especially nice, considering that Swift is famous for her bitter breakup songs:
40	-->For once, you let go of your fear and your ghosts.
41	* From her 1989 World Tour, her speech before Clean. There are a few versions on Website/YouTube, with slightly different wording, but the message is always the same: you are not your mistakes, you are not damaged goods because people have hurt you, and one day, no matter how hurt you've felt, you'll come through to the other side. Hearing it live can cause TearsOfJoy.
42	* The hidden message for "Clean".
43	-->''She lost him, but she found herself and somehow that was everything.''
44	* During the buildup to ''reputation'', Taylor cleared out all her social media and unfollowed ''everyone''... except for her fans on Tumblr.
45	* The speech she gives before performing "Love Story" live. She talks about the first time she read ''Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet'', and how much it struck her that this incredible story about two young people in love ended so tragically. So, she decided to write her own version.
46	-->''I hope it's okay with you... [[EarnYourHappyEnding but I changed the ending]].''
47	* The music video for "Mine" has a handful of kids in it. After filming for the video wrapped, Taylor took all the kids to a Toys R Us, which she had closed down for the night, and let each kid pick out a toy. Including things like computers and video game consoles. Taylor paid for the whole thing on her own dime.
48	* "New Year's Day." Rather than focusing on the passionate New Year's kiss, this song is about the day after, and all the quiet, tiny moments that mean the world when they're with someone you love.
49	* The hidden message for "The Best Day", which is a tribute to her loving family.
50	-->''God bless Andrea Swift.''
51	* "ME!" and its music video are both full of sweetness. Taylor starts the video arguing with her husband (played by [[Music/PanicAtTheDisco Brendon Urie]], who also sings on the track), and the message of the song is essentially, "[[SelfEmpowermentAnthem I'm awesome]], and you're lucky to have me." Then, in the video, Brendon chases after her and they make up, and the song becomes, "We're ''both'' awesome, and we're lucky to have each other." The video ends with Brendon and Taylor walking away in [[HappyRain the rain]], arm-in-arm.
52	-->''You're the only one of you. Baby, that's the fun of you!''
53	** Also take into account that "ME!" proved to everyone that Swift is...''finally'' happy and showed that she's still the same fun gal despite the dark turn with ''reputation''.
54	* "You Need to Calm Down" for its explicit defense of LGBTQ+ people among its theme of criticizing petty online hate. The video makes it better, with several famous people from those groups appearing in the video during that segment, and at the very end of the video, Taylor and Music/KatyPerry shyly reunite as friends, signifying an end to their infamous feud.
55	** Just to confirm that the hatchet was well and truly buried, after Katy Perry gave birth to her daughter Daisy Dove, [[https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/taylor-swift-sends-katy-perry-121326058.html Taylor sent her a hand-embroidered baby blanket.]]
56	* ''Lover'''s title track is one of the nicest, happiest love songs Taylor's ever put out, and the music video is just as sweet. It begins with a girl staring into a snowglobe and seeing a bright, colorful house, with scenes of Taylor and her lover having parties, dancing together, laughing, talking, and having arguments, but making up in the end. The video ends with the camera pulling out to show the girl looking into the snowglobe again -- and it's revealed she's the couple's daughter, and the snowglobe was a Christmas gift from them.
57	* "seven" is essentially a platonic LoveNostalgiaSong, with the narrator fondly remembering a childhood friend she hasn't seen in years, and hoping they still remember her. It's clear the narrator still loves her friend just as much as she did when she was a kid, and sincerely wishes nothing but happiness for them.
58	* "invisible string" is a tribute to the narrator's happy relationship, as she fancifully wonders if maybe [[RedStringOfFate they were connected and meant to be together all along]].
59	-->One single thread of gold\
60	tied me to you.
61	* "the lakes," which closes out the deluxe version of ''folklore'', is a tender love song about wanting to escape from modern society with the person you love.
62	-->I'm setting off,\
63	but not without my muse.\
64	No, not without you.
65	* "long story short," told from the perspective of a woman who, after a tumultuous period in her life, is finally happy and at peace. You can practically hear her smile in the last chorus:
66	-->Pushed from the precipice,\
67	[[EarnYourHappyEnding climbed right back up the cliff]].\
68	Long story short, I survived!
69	* The TwistEnding of "Mastermind." The narrator invents excuses to meet and spend time with someone she's interested in, and it works--they fall in love and start dating. But the narrator starts to feel guilty for having "tricked" her partner, and confesses... and they just smile. They already knew, but went with it because they wanted to be with her, too. They love her not in spite of her scheming, but [[JustTheWayYouAre because of it]].
70	* The remix of "Anti-Hero" by Jack Antonoff's group Bleachers includes the line, "Taylor, you'll be fine".
71	* "Sweet Nothing" is a soft loving track about a couple who is just in love with one another, soft and gentle, knowing each other so well. It's a beautifully charming song.
