These 8 Taylor Swift Songs Are Identical To These Movies
If you are anything like me, you stopped believing in most things (like Santa, warranty policies, the government) LONG before you'd ever stop believing in Taylor Swift.
giphy
But as much as I can listen to the same Taylor Swift song over and over (sorry to those who share an apartment wall with me), sometimes it is good to branch out.
So, if you want to diversify your media consumption but want to stay in the same lane as Tay...
These Taylor Swift songs are identical to these movies.
So if you like one, you'll like the other.
1. You Belong With Me / The DUFF
pinterest / Via uk.pinterest.com
Really, I can't stress enough. The plot of the film is almost identical to Taylor's lyrics....
Just wait...
"She wears short skirts."
"I wear sneakers."
"Don't you know that what you're looking for has been here the whole time?"
2. Look What You Made Me Do / The Prestige
Starring: Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Scarlet Johanson, Michael Cane
Genre: Thriller, drama
Premise: In 1890s London, two magician friends become rivals after an on-stage accident killed the wife of one of the magicians.
The similarities:
-Rivalries
-Bad blood (another wink to Tay)
-Trust breaking
-Tarnished reputations
-Friends to enemies
-Games and (literal) stages and roles to play
-Rising from the dead - doing it all the time (LIKE COME ON)
-Not moving on, hoping for karma
Like, look at the parallels...
"I don't trust nobody, and nobody trusts me."
"I don't like your kingdom keys, they once belonged to me."
It's almost eerie how similar they are.
3. All Too Well / One Day
pinterest / Via uk.pinterest.com
Starring: Anne Hathaway, Jim Sturgess
Genre: Romance, Drama
Premise: Two university friends meet up once a year and watch their lives and relationships evolve over decades
The similarities:

-Forever hoping that the man will get his s**t together
-Meeting the other's parents, and it feeling like home
-Seeming lost without them
-Knowing how effing rare it was
Like... come on... spot on.
"Oh, your sweet disposition and my wide-eyed gaze were singin' in the car, getting lost upstate."
"Maybe we got lost in translation, maybe I asked for too much, but this thing was a masterpiece til you tore it all up, running scared, I was there, I remember it all too well."
"Then you call me up again, just to break me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest."
4. Anti-Hero / A Star is Born
pinterest / Via uk.pinterest.com
Starring: Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper
Genre: Drama, Musical?? kind of
Premise: An alcoholic musician falls in love with a young rising star, and watches his life crumble as hers sky-rockets

-External praise, but inner turmoil
-Negative side-effects of fame

But the lyrics speak for themselves.
"I have this thing where I get older but just never wiser."
"I'm a monster on the hill, too big to hang out."
pinterest
"It must be exhausting always rooting for the anti-hero."
Uncanny.
5. Cruel Summer / The Notebook

-A heartbreaking end to a summer

-Uncertainty and secrecy

-Sneaking out to seal their fate (if you know what I mean...)
But let's look at the lyrics...
"Fever dream, high in the quiet of the night, you know that I caught it."
"Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes, what doesn't kill me makes me want you more."
pinterest
"I love you, ain't that the worst thing you've ever heard?"

Look how similar they are...
"All of this to say, I hope you're okay but you're the reason. And no one's here to blame. But what about your quiet treason?"
pinterest
"All my mornings are Mondays stuck in an endless February. I took the miracle move-on drug. The effects were temporary."
pinterest
"I love you. It's ruining my life."
I'm crying.

Let's examine it.
"You got me alone. You found me. I guess you didn't care. And I guess I liked that. But when I fell hard, you took a step back without me."
pinterest
"No apologies, they'll never see you cry, pretends they didn't know, that they're the reason why, you're drowning."
"I knew you were trouble when you walked in, so shame on me."
pinterest
Now, finally...
8. mad woman / Carrie

But I'll just let the lyrics speak for themselves.
"Does a scorpion sting while fighting back? They strike to kill, and you know I will."
pinterest
"Now I breathe flames each time I talk."
pinterest
"I'm taking my time cause you took everything from me. Watching you climb over people like me."
pinterest
Those are just the beginning of my rabbit hole dive, but I am sure there are more. Let me know in the comments which other movies mirror Taylor Swift songs.
And neighbours, just knock twice if I am playing Taylor too loud (again).

Taylor Swift Makes History After Taking Back Ownership of Her Masters
Taylor Swift Makes History After Taking Back Ownership of Her Masters originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It's been a banner week for pop star Taylor Swift, the girlfriend of Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce. Though she didn't win any of the six American Music Awards she was nominated for, Swift was still in the headlines and a trending topic on social media after she was seen on a solo outing in New York City on Thursday night — her first public appearance without Kelce since before the Super Bowl back in early February. Then, less than 12 hours later, Swift rocked the music world when she announced she had struck a deal, reportedly worth $360 million, to buy back the masters of her first six albums from Shamrock Capital, which had ownership rights since buying them from Scooter Braun back in 2019. The announcement was one of, if not the biggest in the entertainment world this year, and hours after Swift posted the news, her album 'Reputation,' which was released back in 2017, was once again No. 1 on the iTunes chart, bumping Morgan Wallen out of the top spot. Now, 48 hours later, Swift got some more good news as she's achieved something no other recording artists ever has before. 'For the first time ever, all of Taylor Swift's albums received over 2 million daily streams on Spotify,' X account @chartstswift posted. It marks the first time ever any recording artist has had every one of their albums hit 2 million streams each all in the same day. Swift also had a milestone day on Saturday, seeing the biggest streaming day for any female artist this year, hitting 65 million streams on Spotify, despite not releasing any new music since April 19, 2024, when 'The Tortured Poets Department' was made available. There have been reports that Swift is expected to work on a new album for an end-of-year-release, but nothing has been confirmed by anyone in the 14-time Grammy winner's camp about it yet. Swift and Kelce have been spotted a few times this offseason having a date night, but the couple has actively been avoiding the public eye since the Super Bowl. But with the 2025 NFL season right around the corner, Chiefs fans will be seeing a lot more of the 'Fortnight' singer as it's been reported Swift is expected to attend most, if not all of Kelce's home games this season. The Chiefs are 19-4 in games that Swift attends, including the playoffs (and two Super Bowls). This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 3, 2025, where it first appeared.

Travis Kelce's Behavior Toward Taylor Swift in Viral Wedding Video Catches Attention
Travis Kelce's Behavior Toward Taylor Swift in Viral Wedding Video Catches Attention originally appeared on Athlon Sports. After a three-and-a-half month break from the public eye, Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce and girlfriend Taylor Swift haven't stopped popping up on social media quite a bit lately. The couple were spotted out in public on two date nights in Palm Beach, Florida, over the last week, and Swift ended her social media hiatus to announce the major news that she bought back the master recordings of her first six albums — 'Taylor Swift,' 'Fearless,' 'Speak Now,' 'Red,' '1989' and 'Reputation' — in a $360 million acquisition. And while Kelce and Swift likely knew both of their date nights would end up in tabloids and on social media at some point, they likely didn't expect their appearance at a wedding in Nashville on Friday night to go viral. But that's exactly what happened when one guest took a video of the couple dancing together int heir seats and posted it to TikTok. The video was then reposted by several other accounts and made its way to X as well, and fans couldn't stop talking about the behavior they saw from Kelce, who not only had his hand on Swift's knee as they danced together, but he also matched her vibe pretty well. Several fans — many of whom have been clamoring for a future Kelce-Swift wedding — hit the comment sections across both social platforms applauding the Pro Bowl pass-catcher for both supporting Swift's lighthearted side and embracing her playful nature in a way many of her followers believe her previous love interests never did. 'They match each other's energies so well and yet some people still insist she's in a miserable closeted situation instead of being happy for her that she found someone who treats her how she wants to be treated,' one fan wrote. 'The way my mouth DROPPED at that video. THEY ARE TOO CUTE,' another fan added. 'Taylor and Travis attending a wedding together and dancing together in their chairs 😭🥹💜,' a third fan expressed. 'They're such a supportive couple. God continue to bless them,' one user noted. 'His hand on her knee…' another user replied. 'I love that she's finally having a normal relationship,' remarked one fan. 'Awww #TNT/#Tayvis looked so happy and cute vibing together! Power couple's chemistry/aura over 13 million! 💕💞' another fan exclaimed. Kelce was able to fit the wedding in due to the break in the Chiefs' offseason schedule. The team wrapped up Phase 2 of OTAs on Wednesday, and it'll resume Phase 3 on June 10. After Phase 3 wraps on June 13, Kansas City has a three-day break before hosting mandatory minicamp June 17-19. This story was originally reported by Athlon Sports on Jun 7, 2025, where it first appeared.
