Our two-time cover girl Taylor Swift has shared some valuable love lessons with us throughout the years. Our faves? To put your friends before fellas and take all kinds of compliments.
To celebrate
Valentine’s Day, we decided to jam out to some of Swifty’s fearless songs for
more relationship inspiration. What did we find? Ten lovely lyrics that are always good to keep in mind.
Relationships require effort
“This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess”—Love Story
Be supportive
“The time is gonna come when you're so mad you could cry
But I'll hold you through the night until you smile”—Jump then Fall
Stay true to yourself
“Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in.
So shame on me now...”—I Knew You Were Trouble
Feel free
“I don't know why but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress
Fearless”—Fearless
Take a chance
“Don't be afraid to
Jump then fall”—Jump then Fall
Know when to call it quits
“You go talk to your friends, talk to my friends, talk to me
But we are never ever ever ever getting back together”—We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
Say sorry
“So this is me swallowing my pride
Standing in front of you saying, ‘I'm sorry for that night.’
And I go back to December all the time.
It turns out freedom ain't nothing but missing you,
Wishing I'd realized what I had when you were mine”—Back to December
Don’t scheme
“But sophistication isn't what you wear or who you know
Or pushing people down to get you where you wanna go”—Better than Revenge
Be flexible
“People are people,
And sometimes we change our minds.”—Breathe
Express yourself
“If you only knew me
We could be a beautiful
Miracle,
Unbelievable
Instead of just invisible.”—Invisible
