Songs, rumored or confirmed, to be written about Taylor Alison Swift: a thread

Trying to Make it Anyways by Stephen Barker Liles

Maybe the very first song to be written about Taylor, Stephen wrote this while Taylor was the tour opener for his band Love and Theft. Coincidently, Taylor had written a song about him at the exact same time called Hey Stephen

Much Better by the Jonas Brothers

After Jaylor broke up, Joe quickly struck up a releationship with actress Camilla Belle. He then released the backhanded song Much Better. Taylor, spurned and angry, wrote Better Than Revenge about Belle, singing “show me how much better you are

Paper Dolls by John Mayer

Back when Taylor had dropped her scathing exposé of a song Dear John, Mayer was most definitely not a happy camper. After trying to discredit her through the media to save face, he penned this condescending track to counter her song. Dramatic much?

Enchanted by Adam Young

While not an officially released song, after Taylor emailed Adam about her new song Enchanted being about him, he decided to respond through song. Only changing some of the lyrics to Enchanted to say his response, he sings about his shared feelings

White Dress by Parachute

Taylor and Parachute’s lead singer Will Anderson were very close back in the day and it’s rumored that she even wrote Begin Again about him. It is also rumored that Parachute’s Kiss Me Slowly is about Taylor as well

Swish Swish by Katy Perry

Ah, one of the most infamous feuds of 2015. After Taylor released her star studded Grammy winning music video for Bad Blood, Katy tried her hand at a shady song with a more meme centered music video with Swish Swish

Perfect by One Direction

Haylor was interesting era for Swifties and Directioners a like. After Taylor released Style, Perfect came out and noticeably echoed that Harry inspired track. Two Ghosts and Only Angel from Harry’s solo career are also rumored to be about her as well

Olé by Calvin Harris and John Newman.

This song is not written in response to any specific Taylor song as Taylor has never bothered to write one about Calvin (ha) but it can be said that Getaway Car is a response to this song as Olé accuses Taylor of cheating on Calvin with Tom

All Bad by Justin Bieber

There is a LOT I can say about this song but I’m going to keep it short. It’s well known that there was no love between Justin and Taylor while he was dating Selena (for many reasons) and even now they are still very unfriendly. This song proves it

Rose Gold by Pentatonix

One of the few songs that have actually been confirmed to be inspired by Taylor, Pentatonix were inspired by her romantic life and her storytelling skills and wrote this song

Famous by Kanye West

I’m not even going to spend time on this song since we all know about it, so we’re moving on

Taylor Swift by Tyler Dean

In the running for one of the first songs to be written about Taylor, this track is a little more obvious considering it’s named after her. Written just before she hit fame with Fearless, this song puts all eyes on her

Favor by Nstasia, Skrillex, and Vindata

The entirety of this song isn’t about Taylor but it does include the line, “I move so swift they call me Taylor”

I Wish (My Taylor Swift) by The Knocks and Matthew Koma

A song dedicated to praising Taylor’s ability to kick ass and dominate the music industry, the music video interestingly features various girls looking like Taylor Swift which is a crazy coincidental foreshadowing of LWYMMD

Taylor has defiantly left a lasting impact on the music industry, and these songs are just some of the proof of that influence. If you know of any others that I missed, comment down below
