Nothing controls a good Instagram caption like an amazing lyric from a dope song. Artists have the extraordinary talent of spitting lyrics that can be applied to our cute bathroom selfies or group pics with our girl squad. We're definitely thankful for that. Taylor Swift in particular is always coming out of left field with some fierce, metaphorical lyrics we can't keep our ears away from. Any "...Ready For It" Instagram captions will literally have all of the likes pouring in.

Of course, getting likes isn't everything, but if you're going to put a picture and caption up on Instagram, you might as well make it some of your best stuff. We connect with music, and even if the lyrics weren't specifically written for us, we apply them to our current situations. Music is healing and universal in that way.

There's only so much emphasis you could put on how important it is to pair those great pics with an even better caption. People like to say no one reads them, but they definitely do. A picture may be worth a thousand words, but your little blurb at the bottom can potentially be what makes them tap twice and keep coming back for your strategic picture and caption mashups.

Think back on all of those TBT, man crush Monday, or women crush Wednesday posts and think about how much more effective those shots would have been with a dope music lyric. I mean, there's still time to go back and change it, but why not attach a lyric to something fresh and new? Music can practically apply to almost everything. All you really have to do is sit down and take your pick from the lyrical garden of endless possibilities.

Leave it to Taylor Swift to add some flare and fierceness to our already dope Instagram pictures. Geese, the girl just goes well with just about everything, and boy can she throw a party and put on a show in a music video. Let's also not forget how good she is at showing any of her exes that she has gracefully moved on with her life. The shade is thrown song after song. So, even if Taylor Swift isn't necessarily your spirit animal, her lyrics are the only filter you need for those captivating Instagram pics.

1. "Touch me and you'll never be alone."

2. "Are you ready for it?"

3. "Younger than my exes but he act like such a man."

4. "Stealing hearts and running off and never saying sorry."

5. "You should see the things we do, baby."

6. "Let the games begin." 

7. "Every lover known in comparison is a failure." 

8. "Some boys are tryin' too hard."

9. "... if I'm a thief then he can join the heist."

10. "Wonder how many girls he had loved and left haunted."

11. "I see how this is gonna go." 

12. "...if he's a ghost then I can be a phantom."

13. "I know I'm gonna be with you." 

14. "I see nothing better, I keep him forever."

15. "No one has to know."

16. "He can be my jailer."

17. "Island breeze and lights down low." 

18. "Holdin' him for ransom." 

19. "I'm so very tame now."

20. "I forget their names now." 

Although we can't give every artist a standing ovation for providing us with Instagram material, just using their stuff is paying enough homage. We'd be nowhere without the power of music, and our pictures would remain caption-less and boring. Music makes the world go around, and those catchy lyrics are what complete our plandid pics, food porn snaps, or bathroom mirror selfies. Social media is here to stay, so you might as well make the best of your little piece of it.
