The Best 1989 (Taylor’s Version) Lyrics For Instagram Captions
“Darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.”
With Taylor Swift releasing 1989 (Taylor’s Version), fans will revisit the 2014 album for numerous reasons. It was Swift’s official dive into the pop genre, and she considered it a major turning point in her career.
“The 1989 album changed my life in countless ways,” Swift said on Aug. 9 when the re-release was announced, adding that she can’t wait for fans to hear the new “From The Vault” tracks.
The album has a little bit of everything when it comes to relatable lyrics for almost every type of emotion. “Blank Space,” which is arguably Reputation-coded, is packed with lines about being unpredictable. “Shake It Off” is about letting go of negative energy and the people who bring you down. “Wonderland” paints Alice In Wonderland imagery, evoking curiosity and confusion.
1989 is also filled with love songs. “You Are In Love” tells the story of frequent collaborator Jack Antonoff and his relationship with ex Lena Dunham. The lyrics to “Wildest Dreams” allude to a steamy love affair. “Style,” meanwhile, is widely rumored to be about, well, Harry Styles.
As expected, with her “From The Vault” songs, Swift delivered lyrically. “Is It Over Now?” and “Now That We Don’t Talk” seemingly refer to her relationship with Styles. She even calls back to certain moments that became part of pop culture history (remember that blue dress?).
Basically, if you have a picture that needs a songwriter’s pizzazz, Swift has you covered. Here are 89 1989 song lyrics for your Instagram captions, since they never go out of style.
