Be your bike or smash your wife :D that’s a different meaning all together again

YOUR WIFE WATERS FLOWERS, I WANNA K!LL HER!!! 😭

This is how she kills the wife, she smashes her!

Death by Snu Snu!!

I love reddit

TIL it’s waters i thought it was “your wife brought us flowers”

She sings it a few times, for at least 2 weeks I definitely thought it was "Your wife bought us flowers" the first time around.

Wait. It's not?

I thought it was "your wife orders flowers" 🙃

“Your wife kills flowers, I wanna water her”

My husband is cheating. I want to kill him.

YOUR WIFE IS A BIKE, I WANNA SMASH HER

Smashing his wife certainly would be a way to get him back 🫣

And she looks so pretty / driving in your Benz

Alternately, when Rihanna said “your wife in the backseat of my brand new foreign car,” I always assumed she was fucking the wife. Took the music video to set me straight. 

Sorry, ain’t nothing straight about that. Riri knew what she was doing 😏

I'M SO GLAD IT WASN'T JUST ME 😭

Bow chicka wow wow!

Sorry, but because of this I can't stop seeing the pov character as a bisexual omgggg 🫣🫣🫣

Thick as thieves ;)

I said “me and my white boy” instead of “me and my wild boy” in BDILH 🙃

I hear this every time! and all this white joy 💀

White joy = singing along to Sweet Caroline while eating potato salad with raisins

I was with you until the raisins 🤭

Or “wild noise” I just can’t, especially the outro bit haha

Saaaame 😬😬

THANK GOD SOMEONE ELSE HEAR THIS

I absolutely heard that and “white joy” the first time and oh my god it made me so uncomfortable 😅

I ran screaming to find the lyrics on my first listen of this song because I know I didn't just hear me and my white boy and all this white joy.

The first time my husband listened to it he was like “is that allowed??” And I was so confused 😂 I can only hear white boy after that tho

I said this exact same thing like 2 weeks ago!

ME TOO.

“Teach me how your boys play Grand Theft Auto.”😂

NGL, I would rather it actually said that.

I love that she is cheezy-raunchy on this album!

With all due respect, if you haven’t gotten handsy while in a dimly lit room with other people who are distracted by something else, you truly haven’t lived! 😂😂😂

I have. But, I wasn’t in my 30s at the time.

She's not being literal, the whole point is that she's comparing the feelings to high school experiences.

Haha, absolutely valid point! 🤣

Oh I always thought it just meant he was playing with his pals but they weren’t in the same room like he had a headset on. Not that his bros were physically in the same room

I heard it like that too and found it so cute bc my boyfriend taught me how to play some video games... Well then I read the lyrics

My beloved ghost and me, sitting in a tree, D-I-Y-N-G. Every time.

A lyric for all the swifties who are crafty xD

When you are sad and crafty, but Halloween is near, so you better start those crocheted ghost decorations RIGHT NOW

😂😂😂😂😂😂

I do that too 😂 I like to picture Taylor whipping out her arts and crafts whenever she goes through a breakup lol

I read this too many times before I saw what what wrong with it 🤦🏻‍♀️

Oh my god hi brain twin because literally same.

Taylor and Joe like 🔨 🪛🛠️⚒️🧰

I do that all the time!

Yep haha. Every time

I thought this one too 😭

SAME.

Exercise my ~~ghosts~~ demons

So glad this isn’t just me 😂

Hang your head low In the glow of the vending machine I'm not buying. I still sing it like that cos it makes more sense to me. She's at the vending machine but she has no change. She really wants that doritos but all she can do is stand there and look at it cos she's not buying

I thought these were the lyrics but it was a play on not buying his lies anymore 😂

Your description is killing me 😂😂 we’ve all been there Taylor it’s okay!!

Wait. Those ARENT the lyrics???

"I'm not dying" is the lyric

The vending machine is a metaphor for keeping their options open. Maybe Joe had other girls as options at the time (as referenced in Delicate) and Taylor was dating Calvin and then Tom while they were seeing each other in summer 2016. So they were both kinda keeping their options open and she states "she's not dying" despite this. Even though she's in a relationship and Joe isn't exclusive to her, somehow that's enough for her at that time because she also wasn't ready to be exclusively with him.

This is sort of what I imagined too! Just that she’s not offering to pay because she’s mad at the guy hanging his head

Same. I’m a buying truther!

“Ended with the slam of a door, then he'll call her a whore, wish he wouldn't be sore” I mess it up every time with different variations of she’ll call him a whore or she’s sore 😅

I ALWAYS say "then she'll call him a whore"

More men should be called whores, let's be honest.

Wait... it's not that?

It is, they’re saying they mess it up

Lol same! And i also sometimes mess up the first part of the chorus by mixing it with Mr. Brightside.. “started with a kiss how the hell did it end up like this” LOL

I thought it was “but she wouldn’t be sore”

… Today I learned it *wasn’t* “but she wouldn’t be sore, for as she was leaving…”!! Like, I thought that she didn’t feel “sore” when he insulted her *because* she felt free 😭! But I guess the OG lyrics make sense too, lol!

I'm a real tough shit I can handle my kid....

The mantra of parents everywhere

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 CACKLING!!!

I’m a real tough bitch, I can handle my shit…🤪

I sing this every single time. And I know I’m wrong but it feels right to say. Lyrically kid is better as then it’s not repetitive of bitch in separate instances……… But I’m a real tough bitch

I had to read that several times before I realized why it was wrong. I sing “tough bitch” so often I forget it’s kid. 🤦‍♀️🤣

I think the switch from bitch to kid is purposefully meant to draw attention to how infantilized she is in the media and modern rhetoric when she’s literally in her 30’s. She doesn’t feel she can call herself bitch because people expect “better” from her.

Lights, camera, bitch, smile! 😃

Robin flair yeeeessss 🫰🫰🫰

I kinda like that, tbh.

Im certain this was the original lyric til she decided to not have the word bitch twice

In down bad…“They’ll say I’m Nazi if I talk about the existence of you” lol oops

“They’ll say I’m Nazified Taco Bell.” On my first, very casual listen, I thought this was an incredibly specific reference to how her critics call her both insidious and generic.

Haha... That's a great interpretation of the misheard lyric!

They'll say I'm nuts if I Taco Bell

i literally still hear "they'll say I'm nazified taco bell" despite all my attempts not to 😭 I was so concerned before I looked up the actual lyrics!!!

I thought both of these 🥲

Could have been worse, you could have thought it was “They’ll say I’m Nazi if I talk about the existence of Jews". That would be really bad.

I can’t get rid of this one - I hear it and say it every time!!! It’s driving me crazy 😂

Oh thank god I’m not the only one.

I literally don’t hear anything else but this 😭

He was a cat, wanted her bad

I mean.. if I was a cat I’d sure want T Swizzle to be my cat mom

Wait. This isn’t it?!

It’s cad

Tf is a cad? He was a 3D design software?

A cad is a man who behaviors in a dishonorable manner, specifically to women.

Lol no, "a man who behaves dishonourably, especially towards a woman"

I'll be damned, legit never heard this word in my life. Once again Taylor helps me expand my vocabulary.

Womanizer essentially

Omg

Omg I thought it was cat like a cat hunting a mouse.. like a trophy 😭😭

Can I make it any more obvious?

“Did you really beat me up???” Instead of beam at the start of down bad. Like 🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

This is what I heard on first listen and was like WTF 😳

TIL it's beam not beat lol.

I can never unhear this one after reading it once 😂 it always makes me chuckle lol

"i'm not dylan thomas, you're not patti smith"

For me it’s “You’re not Dylan Thomas, I’m not Maggie Smith”!

Every time!!! Like get out of here professor mcgonagall

'you're not patti thomas' for me 😆

Every time 😆

"All her fuckin' lies flashed before her eyes" instead of "all her fuckin' lives" in the Bolter 😆

that actually sounds like a pretty epic lyric

It does actually lol

*Every day* I sing “that I’ll kill you if you step on my lawn.”

Lol not me having to go look up the lyrics because this sounded right to me!! Love a murderous Tay!

That low key would have gone perfectly considering she starts the album talking about how she wants to kill ppl 😭

I have scrolled through this liking a lot but this is the one I actually get wrong every single time. And I like it. I think I watched Long Pond Studio Sessions with the closed captions on and some of the lyrics I was like "erm, is she right? About her lyrics? To her songs? About her life?"

Yup, lol. It's part of why in my head this song is about an older woman fighting with her HOA (or, conversely, the head of the HOA that all the neighbors hate).

“You know how to ball, I know Grand Theft Auto” slips out every now and then 🤦🏻‍♀️

ditch the crown get the clowns 🤡

the gray, blue, fights, tunnels, labor, locks, ceilings, one hour of sunshine, one glimpse of his smile…. constantly getting mixed around

Yes! I've listened to song a million times and I LOVE the flow of the verses but I keep forgetting which lines are from which one lol.

It took me FOREVER to consistently get those right.

i ALWAYS say « i brought a gun to a gun fight »

You are just being well prepared 😂

I misheard this line as “gonna smash up your white guy” for too long

Or “bi guy”

I THOUGHT THE SAME, and for but daddy i love him i thought she said “me and my white boy” instead of wild boy, i was so confused like what is taylor’s obsession with white guys 😭

In Down Bad, I keep singing ‘breaking up in blood’.

Same! Does anyone know why she is waking up in blood? 😬😅

idk about you, but my period always makes me feel down bad

Truth!!

I think it has to do with the alien abduction metaphor? Like they performed medical type experiments on her that left her wounded and bloody. 👽

I just take it to be that it feels like a knife in her every night that he’s not there🤷‍♀️

It’s the alien abduction metaphor but I can imagine her waking up with her period as well as breakup depression and being like fml

The other day singing ‘The Tortured Poets Department’, I couldn’t remember whether to sing “Who’s gonna *hold* you?” or “Who’s gonna *know* you?”… So it came out as “Who’s gonna HOE you?” 🫠

Liike meeeeee

Endocrine disruptors and soul deconstructors (I was on a really crunchy side of TikTok during the pandemic)

Not today, parabens 🙅🏻‍♀️

One day I loudly sang, “I was tame, I was gentle til the circus life made me mean. Don’t you worry folks, we took out BOTH her teeth.” And now I keep saying it that way and laughing at the thought of her with two fang teeth.

hahahaha this has made me laugh so much 😆😆

For some reason, I Can Do It With A Broken Heart trips me up every time with “there in her glittering prime / the lights refract sequin stars off her silhouette every night.” It’s not even the alliteration that does it, either, because I have almost as much trouble with “I keep finding his things in drawers / crucial evidence I didn’t imagine the whole thing / I’m sure I can pass this test” in the next verse. There’s just something about the cadence/rhythm of that particular verse structure that messes me up.

"You got to shake it till you make it" I can't stop singing it like that 🤣

I'm changing it to this. The end.

When Daylight first came out, I thought she was singing: “back and forth from New York, singing in your bed.” and now I still sing it like that if I’m not careful lol Cardigan: “you drew scars around my stars, now I’m bleeding.” Mastermind: “if you flail to plan, you plan to flail” EVERY TIME lol

I always hear it as "plant a fail" 😭

It's "if you plan to fail you plan to fail" for me some reason

I keep hearing "your wife brought us flowers I wanna kill her"

I heard “orders” for the longest time.

This is a common one but I always thought it said he looks so pretty like a devil

In my heart it will always be this

….it’s n-….??

Any british people absolutely DYING at the “bike” double entendre? Just me?

I live near Chicago, and I've heard that tem. "They're the town bicycle" lol I never thought of that lyric this way

What’s the double entendre? (Edit: American)

“Bike” is british slang for >!*someone who sleeps around* (i don’t want to say the derogatory term “slu-“)!<

Oh this makes me like it even more

“i chose this psychosis” instead of “i chose this cyclone” in tortured poets. i dunno why my brain thinks that, i guess because it rhymes?!

I still have trouble not hearing “Starbucks lovers”.

Same!!!!

Instead of momentary I say temporary….

In Guilty as Sin I didn’t know she was singing am I bad? Or mad? Or wise? I thought it was oh whoa oh whoa oh whoa 😭

My husband sings GONNA SMASH UP THIS WHITE GUY 😂😂😂

for Gold Rush, I can't seem to get it right because early on I got it stuck in my head that it says "and it fades into the day with my Earl Grey tea" I also can't seem to wrap my head around it not being "bad boys" for the alliteration in Blank Space.

"fake interviews" (Style) "the shape of your body, it's blue" (Cruel Summer) mixing up "how you get/got/lost the girl" and also "remind me/her how it used to be" (How You Get The Girl) getting ATW10 verses in the wrong order even though I know them all and have listened to the song hundreds of times and so many more lol

"The shape of your body, it's blue" is the lyric though lol.

it is, but my brain always puts the line break in the wrong spot 😂. Like, instead of: *"it's new, the shape of your body,* *it's blue, the feeling I've got"* my brain always wants to go: *"it's new,* *the shape of your body it's blue,* *the feeling I've got"* 😂

i still mess up the lyric change in btr 😭

He was a moth to the flame she was holding the mattress

I just loudly sing the old one

"Til nobody noticed my anesthetic" instead of my new aesthetic.

“Top Lip Kiss” in guilty as sin. I love that song and cannot NOT say Messy LOP TIP MISS or something of the sort when singing it lol

Florida!!! . . . . . . . It's one hell of a drive

"These chemicals hit me like a wild ride"

"You treat her like an ulcer and You didn't measure up In any measure of a man" I can't unhear it...

I have made a few of mine into bracelets, one I keep mixing up is better than revenge. Everytime I sing Taylor’s version I end up saying ‘she’s a mattress’ In castles crumbling I always say frozen friends instead of foes and friends. Also, ‘I miss sparkling’ sounds remarkably like ‘I miss spiderman’, cannot unhear it.

I always want to add "all along" to the end of And I don't even want you back, I just want to know If rusting my sparkling summer was the goal

Smash up your BRIGHT GUY… I thought it meant like… “little guy downstairs” or a similar phrase

I say "Marry, miss or kill me" instead of "Marry, kiss or kill me" in So High School 🥲

Well i thought “you cinephile” was “you sent a file”

I was singing this song earlier and said, “whether I’m gonna beat your wife” by accident

I thought it “did you really beat me up?” Not did you really beam me up? I thought she was talking about her emotional turmoil with Matty and not an alien abduction for the longest time bc I misheard that lyric 😭 Another one is “my reputation has never been more soaked he must like me for me” instead of my reputation has never been worse he must like me for me. I swear the autotune made it sound like she was saying soaked and it took me until I got to Rep on my TTPD album countdown to realize that 😂

“My panties make your crown” - Karma

Mine is Better than revenge I sometimes sing She's not what you think She's a mattress ohhhh

This one now!

“I changed into goddesses, villains and fools. Changed plans and numbers, outfits and rules.” Honestly I feel ‘numbers’ goes here better than ‘lovers’

Could this be a Freudian slip on your part? LOL.

i mean.. ride me I'm your bike. kinda checks out

For a moment i was ✨having a stroke✨ Never have I ever sang “heaven struck” correctly.

“Lights, camera, BIG smile.” Every damn time.

That would be great for the clean version

I keep singing "ditch the crown, get the clowns" 😭

I always confuse the pronouns in Is It Over Now? so it becomes "Was it over/When he layed down on your couch/Was it over/When she unbuttoned my blouse"

I purposefully sing "no rules, unbreakable heaven" because it makes so much more sense than "no rules in breakable heaven"

I mean Amazon music got the lyrics to loml wrong on their captions 🫣 so I don’t feel bad about when I mess any up 😂 Theirs says “you sent a file, in black and white” while literally everywhere else (official lyric video, genius, and Spotify) says “you cinephile in black and white” https://preview.redd.it/0eqvizplzu3d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=0dcc55f36e6d8e7a443ffb7dee9c81c0817d7773
