Masterpost of TayLiz Lyric Parallels
Quick Disclaimer before we start:Â OBVIOUSLY lyric parallelism should be taken with a grain of salt. Taylor has been using and re-using certain turns of phrase and imagery (like dancing, assigning people colors, rhyming car/bar with literally anything and everything, etc) since her debut album. HOWEVER, I do think some of these are interesting and I wanted to catalogue them so we have them, even though they have varying degrees of reach-ness. I am NOT claiming all of these songs were written about each other and could not have been written about other people, just demonstrating the parallels here.
 Also! Please let me know if you find any more and Iâll add them!
