Silly Love Song / Taylor Swift

Over 10 albums (and counting) of her career, beside her infamous break up songs, Taylor Swift is also a self admitted hopeless romantic. As a result she also have a lot of happy songs about being in love. So much so that this page has to be ordered by albums:

• Taylor Swift:
  • "Our Song" is as goofy and lighthearted as they come:
    Our song is the slamming screen door
    Sneakin' out late, tapping on your window
    When we're on the phone and you talk real slow
    'Cause it's late and your mama don't know
    Our song is the way you laugh
    The first date: "Man, I didn't kiss her, and I should have"
  • "Stay Beautiful" is a lighthearted love song about hoping that her crush will like her and wishing him the best even if they don't get together.
  • "Mary's Song (Oh My My My)" is an extremely upbeat song about a couple who have known and were together since they were kids.
• Fearless & Fearless (Taylor's Version):
  • "Fearless" is a song about her and her love interest being fearlessly in love and doing silly romantic things like dancing in a storm.
  • "Love Story" lampshades itself as this.
    You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
    It's a love story, baby, just say "yes"
  • Also lampshaded in "Hey Stephen."
    All those other girls, well they're beautiful, but would they write a song for you?^note cue Taylor chuckling at the deliberate corniness of this line
  • "Jump Then Fall" is about all the things she loves about her love interest and proclaiming that she will catch them when they "jump then fall".

  • "Today Was a Fairytale" is about a great date with a guy who she is falling in love with.
  • "That's When", while more angsty then some examples, is a song about the narrator and her love interest (sung by Keith Urban) reconciling and appreciating the good parts of their relationship.
• Speak Now & Speak Now (Taylor's Version):
  • "Mine" is a song about the narrator and her love interest weather the storm of a relationship while the narrator's home life with her parents is unhappy.
  • "Sparks Fly" is about all the way the narrator is captivated by her chemistry with her love interest.

• 1989: Being an album that celebrate fun and carefree romance, naturally has a lot of these:
  • "Style" is about a relationship that the narrator know would not end well, but she is so consumed by how good he looks she can't stop. This song is as blatant about Harry Styles as it can be without actually name dropping him.

  • The narrator in "...Ready for It?" is incredibly excited to finally discover a guy who is her match and wants to keep their relationship secret from the rest of the world.
  • The narrator in "Endgame" wants to be her love interest's soulmate despite their "big reputation". Future and Ed Sheeran play her love interests in the song and music video, possibly representing her overlapping romance at the time of the album creation with Tom Hiddleston and Joe Alwyn.
