Swifties pride themselves on their unquestionable knowledge about anything related to Taylor Swift.
Whether decoding the clever Easter eggs she sneaks into Instagram posts or uncovering the link between her nail polish color and her dating life, her fervent fan base is well-schooled in the art of Taylor Tidbits.
But even the most ardent devotees can hear a lyric incorrectly, and, as the self-deprecating among us tend to do, can laugh (or would it be shake?) it off.
Maybe you still think Swift is singing about “Starbucks lovers” in “Blank Space” or her “good girl face” in “Style.” Or maybe you learned you were singing some of her lyrics incorrectly from watching The Eras Tour movie with subtitles.
Given Swift’s vast catalog – and her penchant for lyrical loquaciousness – there is a lot of room for error. But here are 10 of our favorite mondegreens (the official term for misheard lyrics) from Swift Central.
