* The remix of "Anti-Hero" by Jack Antonoff's group Bleachers includes the line "Taylor, you'll be fine".
* 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.

* As much trouble as Taylor's double in the "Anti-Hero" MV causes her, the video ends on a cute scene of the two sitting on the room sharing a bottle of wine, before being joined by [[GiantWoman their giantess counterpart]]. The three versions of Taylor all getting along and hanging out together despite the song's themes of depression and anxiety suggest a sort of inner peace, or at the very least, acceptance of one's self.

* 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]].

* "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 Katy Perry shyly reunite as friends, signifying an end to their infamous feud.

* "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.

* ''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.

* "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.

* From her 1989 World Tour, her speech before Clean. There are a few versions on 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.

* In 2014, a superfan named Gena Gabrielle sent Taylor a wedding invitation, which Taylor happened upon while at her management office going through fan mail. The date of the wedding conflicted with a tour, but Gena had also sent an invitation to her bridal shower, and Taylor -- who'd never been to a bridal shower in her life -- decided to fly to Ohio and attend, taking along a large laundry basket full of presents, along with some chocolate chip cookies she'd made herself. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1LMp-jEH_k She filmed the encounter, but didn't tell anyone beforehand (the only people with her were a cameraman and her assistant)]] and the girl's reaction to seeing Taylor arrive is a few seconds of nearly-catatonic disbelief before embracing her.

* Swift's song "Enchanted" is a sweet song about meeting [[OwlCity Adam Young]] and being, well, enchanted. The Valentine's Day after it was released, Adam posted [[http://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.

* Taylor's been ''absurdly'' hands-on with her fanbase since the hype for ''1989'' began. Her Website/{{Tumblr}} is mostly her replying to fans and putting smiles on their faces, which is pretty heartwarming in itself. She's even sent some fans gifts! [[http://taylorswift.tumblr.com/post/102759612910/colldasyou-the-best-part-from-the-20-minute "FROM A FRIEEEEEND!!!"]]
** One word: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3yyF31jbKo Swiftmas.]]



* In early 2014, Taylor was going through fanmail at her management office, and noticed that she had received a wedding invitation from longtime, extremely loyal fan Gena Gabrielle. While the wedding date wasn't feasible(as she would be touring), there was also an invitation to the bridal shower, which Taylor, who had never attended one, decided to crash. While bringing homemade cookies, the recipe for said cookies, a hand-painted design commemorating the wedding, and a huge laundry basket full of gifts(due to Taylor, as heard in the video, having "no self-control in kitchen stores."). Oh, and she didn't tell anyone besides her assistant that she was doing it until afterwards, in a video called [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1LMp-jEH_k Surprising Gena]]. The girl's reaction to Swift's appearance(at 2:13 of the video) is pure d'awww.
