Taylor Swift – Forever Winter (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault) (Lyric Video)

Let me introduce a classic winter song that really hits home, with its simple band ensemble, Taylor’s slightly wistful vocals, and an emotional melody.

Forever Winter was newly released in 2021 as part of Red (Taylor’s Version), the re-recorded edition of her fourth album Red, which originally came out in 2012 and was a huge hit.

The lyrics are heartbreakingly poignant, expressing the realization of a loved one’s struggles and hardships, and the vow to remain “the summer sun” for someone living through an eternal winter.

Since Taylor herself has said that Red is “an album about heartbreak,” there are various theories about who the “he” in this song might be.

But rather than focusing on the song’s backstory, it can be wonderful to listen while reflecting on your own life and love experiences.

Taylor Swift – Fortnight (feat. Post Malone) (Official Music Video)

This piece sings of an indelible pain born from a forbidden romance that lasted a mere two weeks.

Featuring a collaboration between American artist Taylor Swift and Post Malone, it is included on the album The Tortured Poets Department, released in April 2024.

The protagonist, despite being married, finds her heart thrown into turmoil by a former lover who lives next door, and she is consumed with fierce jealousy toward his wife.

The contradictory feeling of loving someone while that love destroys your life resonates poignantly over an ’80s-style synth sound.

Imagining the fate that awaits such an illicit relationship is enough to make your chest ache.

Taylor Swift – Gorgeous (Lyric Video)

Feeling so mad at someone for being just too “gorgeous”!? This is a humor-filled unrequited love song sung by American artist Taylor Swift.

Set to a lively synth-pop sound, the lyrics strikingly portray being tongue-tied in front of a love-at-first-sight crush and the complicated feeling of liking someone so much it actually makes you angry.

Many people have probably experienced going blank the moment they see their crush or being swept away by their own emotions.

You could say it’s a song packed with that uncontrollable rush and flutter of the very moment love begins.
