In many ways, Taylor Swift's Folklore album partially redeemed 2020. For one, Folklore's dreamy alternate realities of cottage life, glittering parties (remember parties?), clandestine late-night drives, and magical forests have helped listeners escape this year's bleak realities. And, as usual, Swift has blessed fans with her achingly poignant words about love. If you feel like you want to be with your lover "forever and ever", send your partner some Folklore lyrics to let them know it.

Yes, there's a very visible thread of heartbreak on T. Swift's latest album. She sings about "being on some new sh*t" on "the 1" and bitterly wonders if her ex is hooking up with someone new. She also talks about "faithless love" like a hoax she keeps believing, and croons about a breakup that feels like an "exile." But, as always, Miss Americana delivers plenty of lines about the joy of romance (you know, to balance out the heartbreak) that make the perfect sweet texts to send your partner.
