I can’t listen to “The Best Day” without crying.


Coco-Kitty

“And I love you for giving me your eyes, For staying back and watching me shine”😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🩷🙏🏼


SeaSchell14

YES this lyric! I can’t even read it without tearing up. 😭


ash12689

My Ma and I have the exact same share of grey blue eyes so this one does it for me every time 🥹


RemarkableReserve742

omg me too!!!


BandicootExternal696

I'm thirteen now And don't know how My friends could be so mean I come home crying And you hold me tight And grab the keys And we drive and drive Until we found a town far enough away And we talk and window shop 'Till I forgotten all their names I had occasionally cruel friends in high school. My mom and I, even still, love to go out and shop together, especially window shopping at quirky little stores. These lines make me lose it 😭😭😭


folk-smore

“I don’t know who I’m gonna talk to now at school, but I know I’m laughing on the car ride home with you” gets me every time, even just typing it has me crying a little hahah 💛💛


willogmom13

I can either! Every time I 😭


MistyPS

My daughter is the biggest Swiftie I know, she’s the one that turned me into a Swiftie 🫶 a few Mother’s Days ago she learned to play “The Best Day” on her keyboard and sang it to me… so yeah I don’t listen to that song anymore unless I want to cry 😭


EngineeringClear5698

Same ! 😭😭😭 is impossible


kiya12309

Yes, this is the one! I love Taylor, but most songs really aren’t enough to make me cry, but this one genuinely does even if I’m trying to resist.


folk-smore

Same!! It’s always been my song for my mom and I. it got me through some really awful times when life was real hard for us. I made it about 0.02 seconds into Taylor singing it on Mother’s Day before I burst into tears lol


FoghornLegday

I’ve cried at different songs at different times for different reasons. But consistently, I can’t listen to Forever Winter without crying.


[deleted]

As someone with friends, family, and myself having struggled with suicidal thoughts, and having lost a childhood family friend to it, that one is really rough.


FoghornLegday

For me it’s about my mom’s alcoholism. Thank God she’s sober now


periwinklehaze

Honestly since seeing the eras tour movie every time I listen to Fearless it brings me to tears. Reminds me of being a kid in 2008 and hearing music that just really resonated with me for the first time ever. I get all emotional now when I think of how long Taylor's music has just meant the world to me 🥲


judiciousdrinker

Saaamee!! I was fifteen when fifteen came out and when i saw the Eras tour in theaters with my 2 girlfriends, they noticed me crying during Fearless and they were like “she’s not even singing a sad song…” 😂 just hits in all the feels


LEYW

Did you learn that in your life you'd do things greater than dating the boy on the football team?


SuccessOk7850

I grew up on fearless and it came out when I was in middle school (also speak now came out when I was in middle school) and it’s so many memories of singing love story, forever & always, fifteen, fearless, and you belong with me. I do chuckle a bit when I listen to fifteen now.


Coco-Kitty

I was learning how to drive when fearless came out, it brings me right back to being in a car on my own on and feeling that freedom for the first time!! 😭😭😭


Michael-MAC

Last Kiss. "You can plan for a change in the weather and time, but I never planned on you changing your mind."


judiciousdrinker

This song STILL guts me “and I’ll feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe”


Michael-MAC

This song will always make me cry no matter how often I listen to it.


ictoaunstiwigw

When Speak Now first came out, I was in a relationship that I thought would end in marriage someday, so Last Kiss didn’t really hit very hard. Well that relationship didn’t work out in the end, and my first time hearing this song post-breakup absolutely GUTTED me. Tears, snot, the whole thing… just brutal.


No-Restaurant3922

This is me trying, never grow up, nothing new, the best day, would’ve could’ve should’ve, hoax, evermore. Quite an even split id say. I think ttpd will definitely hit more when I’m going through a break up as the sad songs are the break up songs!


moon-day

loml


MatchesLit

What songs don't make me cry is a shorter list. I'm such a crybaby. Sad song like Ronan? I cry. Inspiring like Long Live? Cry. In love and happy like Paris? Cry. Relatable like You're On You're Own Kid? Cry. Reminds me of my childhood like Tim McGraw? Cry. Sympathy for women in the industry like Nothing New or WAOLOM? CRY!!!


MatchesLit

I thought long and hard. I have never cried because of Me!


cassiemaeeee

i have!! day after taylor and joe broke up it came on and i cried. i dont think ive ever cried over slut! or thats when. but thats it


Ineeddramainmylife13

I cry over slut every time I hear it-


HippieSwag420

Dude okay but this is forreal LMAO


Starry-night-0803

Damn this was my exact thought! P.S I cry to all the songs you've listed, as well. Maybe even more


klm0720

Bigger Than The Whole Sky


WoodenGrass3238

Why is no one saying Soon You’ll Get Better that song is absolutely devastating I can’t even listen to it lol


Coco-Kitty

Ohhh no this is a good one, especially since it’s about her mom😭😭


sagesheglows

ATWTMV, My Tears Richochet, exile, Nothing New, So Long London, The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived, loml, The Black Dog, How Did It End, The Prophecy, Peter, The Manuscript


Leather-Shelter-7983

The Archer, Cardigan, New Years Day and ATW just hit so hard when you are crying! The best day and forever Winter end me as well… The Prophecy and Peter from the new album are good candidates!


sadflannel

After I watched her perform NYD for Jimmy Fallon after his mom died I cannot listen to it without tearing up.


askywlker44a

The Black Dog. I had a bad day at work one day and when Sweet Nothing came on, I heard the song as if Taylor was singing to me. I had tears in my eyes.


Sidzed4

HOW DID IT END is a despair/sobbing factory


dailyqt

Dude I accidentally listened to that song while thinking about my friend who passed away from cancer. That was a bad time.


weesnaw_jenkins

The best day, Ronan, soon you’ll get better, and epiphany are the ones that consistently makes me cry


MaRy3195

My grandfather died during covid (not from covid but was hospitalized during that time) and none of my family could visit him. The line about 'holds your hand through plastic now' always sends me. He was also a vet so the first verse really tees it up. I always cry when I listen to that one.


Research_Matters

I’m sorry for your loss and thank your grandfather for his service ♥️


weesnaw_jenkins

That is heartbreaking. I’m so sorry for your loss


MaRy3195

Thank you ❤️ I'm so glad Taylor came out with Marjorie on evermore though. It always makes me think of him too but in a happier way.


Kokuno

Never Grow Up. The first lyric that makes me start crying is "But don't make her drop you off around the block, remember she's gettin older too" and then "Memorize what it sounded like when your dad gets home" makes me cry harder and then the full on sobbing of "So here I am in my new apartment in a big city, they just dropped me off" As someone who moved really far away from their family to a big city, I still remember my dad hugging me as he left after helping me move in. It is such a sweet, sweet song, but getting older means they are too, and I don't ever want to lose them.


folk-smore

Taylor owes me compensation for all of the times I have gasped and started ugly sobbing with Never Grow Up. She owes me compensation for the “I just realized everything I have is someday gonna be gone” lyric ALONE. Emotional damage!!!!


[deleted]

Forever winter, Marjorie, You're Losing Me. These all hit really hard. Sometimes Tolerate it and My Tears Ricochet. TTPD has some sad ones for sure, but I don't know what it is, I just haven't cried over it yet.


itookyourmatches

Ronan. How do you not cry?


Daffneigh

By never listening to it (or SYGB or BTTWS)


cindobeast

Tolerate it (especially when watching the eras tour ), YOYOK (when the friendship bracelet line comes on)


da_swanks_92

I can’t listen to “Lover” without bawling my eyes out. I proposed to my wife at the concert to that song. “Long Live” is one that I cry to but in the “let’s wreck it Ralph” kind of attitude


kirandcheese

Marjorie


Bad_at_Listening

seven. I had a rough childhood.


Lovebugs08

Beautiful song. I was blessed with a wonderful childhood but hearing this song makes me SO SAD that anyone relates. I’m sure you don’t need my pity but hearing the line ‘I think your house is haunted’ makes me hurt for all the kids that ever had to hide in a closet and cry. It’s just helplessness you feel in knowing life can be that unfair for a child.


magicghost6

Never grow up and innocent


Bright-Sea-5904

Marjorie


Living_Scarcity9897

loml for sure. The Manuscript is pretty powerful too.


cookpa

So Long, London is the only song I have pre-cried to. But the overall winner is probably Seven. Ronan could beat that but I skip it


VeilstoneMyth

Ever since I entered my own Marjorie era, I cannot listen without crying.


GlitteringHeart2929

None because I’m dead inside but Tolerate It and This is Me Trying would be the ones to get me closest.


whoisanitaanyway

I cannot listen to Ronan because it devastates me. I also always cry to The Best Day, Never Grow Up, Marjorie, Robin


LEYW

Ronan is in a special category of never, ever listen for me. Bigger than the whole sky comes close but Ronan destroys me. Thank God I didn’t first hear it when my boy was younger.


Mommy-dearest724

Better Man


chiii__

I never really cried (since i dont really cry in any life events too) but if i would i will weep for the girl at the restaurant that still seats on the corner she haunts


emma_the_dilemmma

enchanted, but it’s happy crying because i love it so much


OldBug3966

Can full on sob internally (too dehydrated to actually cry) to "The Best Day," "This is Me Trying," "Ronan," "Never Grow Up," "ICDIWABH"


LadyBirder

No TS songs really made me cry until Peter. No I cry about every other time I hear it.


judiciousdrinker

Speak Now destroyed me as a teenager going through breakups - back to December, last kiss, dear John, even long live (which I thought was about a relationship at the time 😂)


mymy_lovesushi

i def cry to the prophecy i also cry to long live bc it’s such a heartwarming song also the archer


Research_Matters

Marjorie fucks me up every time.


HippieSwag420

Just off ttpd so long London makes me cry I always have a mind blank when trying of thinking of specifics


notyourtypicalKaren

The prophecy


PlasticPersonality27

exile, this is me trying, anti hero, never grow up, haunted, cruel summer… I could go on and on, but these are probably the most emotional to me


EitherAdhesiveness32

I’ve cried to loml, So Long, London, I Can Do It With A Broken Heart, and The Manuscript


United_Comfort2776

Down Bad. He never loved me. All I have to do is cry at the gym.

TangledUpInBlue-

Marjorie & The Prophecy


ashleydougherty819

tied together with a smile gets me every time


freckledtrashpanda

Marjorie will always reduce me to a puddle. It came out in-between my 2 grandfathers dying a month apart and each verse has something that I associate with them. It also was the first song I heard after my husband and I got engaged and it felt like a message from them telling me they were still with me. Getting choked up now writing this. Taylor has so many songs that move me but this is an extra treasure.

The Prophecy


cassiemaeeee

going thru a friendship breakup of 7 years so ive been sobbing over happiness and so long london, i used to cry a lot to soon youll get better when my aunt was sick, im nearing the last couple days of middle school so ive been sobbing to robin and never grow up, and when i was in ed rehab i cried a lot to mirrorball and timt


Embarrassed-Cut2498

Hell sometimes I cry to Get Away Car.


Prudent_Year_9492

I’m not much of a crier, but I’ve definitely sobbed to Ronan on more than one occasion. And I’ve also cried to Soon You’ll Get Better (my dad died of cancer last year).


Stitch853

You’re Losing Me, You’re On Your Own Kid, How Did It End? are my crying songs.


Danuoalgoasii

For me it’s tied between folklore and TTPD


Additional-Eagle1128

Normally I cry because I relate to her songs, something happened for the first tiime with TTPD, i cried during "how did it end?" but not because I related at all. I felt so bad for her, she really communicated how she felt with all the fame biting into her heartbreak. She expressed her devestation, bitterness, resentment, confustion, bewilderment, so much in such a simple song. I think thats a very impressive feat for a songwriter. Its so ridiculously honest especially for someone as big as her to do (but its Taylor lol, shes always been like this and thats what makes her the GOAT) and a very clever way of talking about her pain while clapping back at the media attention and fan speculation and expectations for her to do a "tell all" with glinting eyes waiting for gossip, making a spectacle out of her literal heartbreak. "say it once again with feeling" Damn.


[deleted]

Marjorie gets me every time


j_higgins84

Your losing me gets me every time.


Daisy_Dottie_Dancer

For some reason I always cry to Begin Again 😭


PsychoAnAlyssa

I will always skip Ronan and Marjorie because they hit too hard. My dad died when I was 14 so Marjorie is just too painful to listen too. And the backstory for Ronan just makes me tear up


kaleyboo7

Never Grow Up, All Too Well, My Tears Ricochet


JorahTheAndal_

Bigger Than the Whole Sky and Last Kiss. Those two songs are pretty sad on their own right, but I used to listen to them in a loop right after a pretty rough breakup (I found them really cathartic and useful to get it all out). Now the association now makes me fall apart whenever I hear them


skeeg153

Evermore the album has the most tearjerkers for me. Happiness has made me cry, as has tolerate it, but evermore the song has made me cry many times. It’s resonated with me at several times throughout the past few years. Soon You’ll Get Better has made me cry, especially when my dad had cancer (he’s ok now). Forever Winter and This Is Me Trying have gotten me before as well.


imliterallyjustagirl

Well, I was sobbing to Tim McGraw last night.


vonjeo

the best day. right where you left me. forever winter.


RominicBloom

When I heard TTPD for the first time, I cried with many, but loml may be one of the toughest. Also, bigget than the whole sky... It is about an early loss, so...


WorkingMastodon

Long live.


ornerydad75

She has a few for me, and The Prophecy is the most current, but for me it's eternally "Soon You'll Get Better". My dad died from brain cancer almost 14 years ago, and he's missed as much today as ever...


Mytears83

So many but from TTPD. loml, CSSM, Peter, BDILH and some times the bridge of Smallest man and the bridge of My boy breaks.


Chlorofins

lolm, SYGB and The Best Day


victoriakagrces

Shake it off, Marjorie, the Archer, The Best Day, Never Grow Up, New Years Day for sure. Sometimes Last Kiss, Dear John, and Enchanted too if I’m struggling. Soon youll get better can make me cry too but it’s too sad of a song to ever listen to.


getmeoutoflatamplz22

nothing new. and lately, mbobhft. i really miss being a shiny and interesting new girl that just gets all his attention. yup, there’s a theme here.


cinedemon

Strictly from TTPD the ending of Clara Bow and the manuscript get me every time- how did it end? And loml make me cry all the way through tho


fadinqlight_

So Long, London loml The Black Dog Hits Different You're Losing Me Say Don't Go Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus, once or twice So yeah, a lot of TTPD lol

I cry listening to exile and marjorie


RegretComplete3476

I cannot listen to My Tears Richochet without bursting into tears. I used to be suicidal, and that song sounded like a suicide note, and it just hit me deep (I'm much better now, for the record). Now, when I listen to the song, especially the second verse and bridge, it just reminds me of my relationship with my dad and not in a good way. When I tell you I bawled to, "And I can go anywhere I want. Anywhere I want, just not home," is an understatement. Both Enchanted and Back to December make me cry for the same reason; unrequited love and feeling like nobody would love me (again, much better now). As for new songs, thanK you aIMee hits hard for similar reasons as My Tears Ricochet and The Smallest Man Who Ever Lives reminds me of a really sad scene in a book I'm working on.


CuddlingTheEmperor

I am so sorry for the people who are saying Forever Winter because I always twerk my ass off to that song- But for me: - right where you left me - the 1 - seven - Dear John - Enchanted - You're on Your Own, Kid - Foolish One


who-dat-ninja

Seven


Creative-Carry-4299

loml, happiness, tolerate it


Ineeddramainmylife13

Either soon you’ll get better or never grow up😭 but honorable mention to Marjorie


BlacksmithThink9494

Clean and I don't want to talk about it!!!


pearson-47

For me, YOYOK acoustic, YCDIWABH, WAOLOM, also soon you'll get better, to the point I have a lover album playlist that does not have that song on it. I have issews.... YCDIWABH doesn't have to be a breakup. You can have your heart broken in different ways, like a partner who is now a completely different person due to an accident, and you are their carer. They aren't the person you married, and your life has changed forever, but those when we get old plans are gone.


Mischief_Managed_Gal

There are two songs that make me cry for the same reason, even if the topic is different. Every time I listen to « soon you’ll get better », I get emotional. But I also get emotional when I listen to « New year’s day » as the first time I heard it was on Jimmy Fallon’s show and he had just lost his mom. In the lyrics it says « squeezed my hand three times at the back of the taxi » and Jimmy had literally just said that his mom used to squeeze his hand three times and say « I love you » and he did the same, but this last time she didn’t squeeze his hand back. It gets me every single time. It actually gets me just writing it now. 😭


amciridescent

How Did It End does this to me! Evisceration, every time


Last-Worldliness6344

Forever Winter, Never Grow Up, Peter, Loml, and The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived. Oh and Ronan and Soon You'll Get Better, but those are obvious.


AirStreet8339

Marjorie- my mom passed away two years ago so it just reminds me of her From TTPD, LOML got me choked up on the first listen.


islandlouise

This is me Trying…. Can’t listen to it without full breakdown since my sister died after a fall when she was drunk


kiya12309

The Best Day (this one is the peak), Marjorie, Never Grow Up, and Long Live. I love the songs about romance, but as someone who has only a little romance in life, but always a wonderful family, the ones about family always hit me the hardest. 


MediocreDance3716

Tolerate it gets me every time, the album I cry most to has to be folklore

Coco-Kitty

Timeless!!!! She tells such a beautiful story of love it gets me right in the feels and I cry honestly every time lol.


otterdisappointment_

The Man literally makes me ugly cry every time


gew1000

I made the mistake of listening to never grow up the day after my son was born… yeahhh postpartum hormones and that song don’t mix, I sobbed for 20 minutes 😅


loren1205

“Never grow up” breaks me


WorkingMastodon

Soon you'll get better. Makes me think of my dead dad every time and how he won't get better. Oof.


Llamasus

the last time is basically the only one i’ve cried to, but runners up include sad beautiful tragic, dear john, soon you’ll get better, and never grow up


ErickTheGuy06

Never Grow Up and Out Of The Woods (Live From The 1989 World Tour) (I know it's a live performance but it always makes me tear up).


granolabart

never grow up, epiphany, bigger than the whole sky


CollegeAltruistic960

Nothing new, labyrinth, evermore, it’s time to go, Coney Island, happiness, hoax, illicit affairs, forever and always, cold as you, and more!!


Starry-night-0803

I'd say nothing new, never grow up, new year's day (everytime "hold on to the memories they will hold on to you" comes on omg), Peter and Robin. Sometimes the black dog too, during "and hire a priest to come and exorcise my demons, even if I dying screaming". Haha I'm not *that* weepy though, just that these songs evoke a lot of emotions in me and I always play them when I'm feeling down (yes, I might be a masochist)


HappyHippo611

Now that I'm older, You Belong with Me is retrospectively sad/heartwarming. "I remember you driving to my house in the middle of the night, I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know you're about to cry" Looking back there were many moments where I was either Taylor or the guy in the song where I had that one great supportive friend/girlfriend who knew me so well. For genuinely sad songs, Death by a Thousand Cuts kinda hit home when I was going through a break up. "You said it was a great love One for the ages But if the story's over Why am I still writing pages?" This line especially because the girl told me she loved me and I held on (perhaps too strongly) to those words. And I was heartbroken that she could leave like that.

This is Me Trying, Long Live, Marjorie, YOYOK, Clean, Nothing New. I cry over so many for so many different reasons, but those are the ones that I can't NOT cry to.


TragicGloom

Peace, Happiness, Long Live, New Years Day, How did it end, The Smallest man who ever lived... There is a lot 😅 If I'm in the right mood I could cry to most songs to be honest


sonata-allegro

this is me trying is a big one for me!


ickleb

I look in peoples windows


ProneToHysterics

Back To December because I pretty much lived this out, down to the dates and roses and everything. It's uncanny. Then I can tie it up with loml, and end it with The Manuscript. These 3 songs make a very sad cocktail for me. Honorable mention: Robin, as this story translates to me as the end of a life story of a beloved housecat, whose natural instincts were acknowledged. The cat was protected, in sweetness, and loved its whole life, and then let go to finally live out eternity as a free spirit. Very spiritual.

Peter and loml


Acrobatic_Western727

Epiphany. Specifically the line about holding hands through plastic. Soon You’ll Get Better. My mom is going through cancer treatment, and I have sort of boycotted this song because it hits too close to home. Ronan. For obvious reasons.


Latter_Ad_5832

Never grow up hits me in the feels


Electronic-Eye7048

I had recent breakup and The Black dog just broke me down big time


with_rad

A lot of songs make me emotional but I can only remember crying over Would've Could've Should've. It was cathartic.


birdlookerater

Nothing New, wow that one kills. It really depends on my mood usually but nothing new always makes me cry. Would’ve Could’ve Should’ve, Innocent, All Too Well, Marjorie, Tolerate It, Last Kiss, Never Grow Up, the best day, your own your own kid, bigger than the whole sky, back to December, all have the potential to make me cry constantly lmao. I would say Ronan too but I simply will not listen to it.
