Taylor Swift Showed Us Colors We Can't See With Anyone Else, So Here Are Her 24 Best Color-Related Lyrics

Long live my obsession with Taylor Swift and her glorious songwriting. Like many of my fellow Swifties, I am all in on Speak Now (Taylor's Version), and love that Taylor has chosen a color to represent each of her albums. Speak Now, for example, is purple.

We see this visually represented throughout the Eras Tour, where she often matches outfits to albums and has a giant house as part of the set with rooms associated with each era. Taylor has long loved colors as symbolism. Her songwriting is full of colorful mentions that involve every shade under the sun.

Some hues have entire songs dedicated to them ("Maroon" or "Lavender Haze"), while others are beautifully woven into lyrical storytelling. In my opinion, here are Taylor Swift's 24 best lyrics involving color:

1.I once believed love would be black and white, / but it’s golden. —"Daylight"

2.There is an indentation in the shape of you / Made your mark on me, a golden tattoo. —"Dress"

3.My love had been frozen deep blue, / but you painted me golden. —"Dancing With Our Hands Tied"

4.Once, I had an empire in a golden age / I was held up so high, I used to be great / They used to cheer when they saw my face / Now, I fear I have fallen from grace. —"Castles Crumbling"

5.Loving him was red, burning red. —"Red"

6.The burgundy on my T-shirt when you splashed your wine into me / And how the blood rushed into my cheeks, so scarlet, it was / The mark you saw on my collarbone, the rust that grew between telephones, / The lips I used to call home, so scarlet, it was maroon. —"Maroon"

7.The autumn chill that wakes me up, you loved the amber skies so much, / Long limbs and frozen swims, you'd always go past where our feet could touch. —"Marjorie"

8.Green was the color of the grass where I used to read at Centennial Park / I used to think I'd meet somebody there. —"Invisible String"

9.Did I paint your bluest skies the darkest gray / A universe away. —"Coney Island"

10.You put up the walls and paint them all a shade of gray, / And I stood there loving you and wished them all away. —"Cold As You"

11.Time, wondrous time, gave me the blues and then purple-pink skies. —"Invisible String"

12.I feel the lavender haze creepin' up on me / Surreal, I'm damned if I do give a damn what people say / No deal, the 1950s shit they want from me / I just wanna stay in that lavender haze. —"Lavender Haze"

13.This ultraviolet morning light below tells me this love is worth the fight. —"Afterglow"

14.My knuckles were bruised like violets, sucker punching walls, cursed you as I sleep-talked / Spineless in my tomb of silence, tore your banners down, took the battle underground. —"The Great War"

15.Sapphire tears on my face, sadness became my whole sky. —"Bejeweled"

16.He's in the room; your opal eyes are all I wish to see / He wants what's only yours. —"Ivy"

17.You paint me a blue sky and go back and turn it to rain. —"Dear John"

18.And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue / Just between us, did the love affair maim you, too? —"All Too Well (10 Minute Version)"

19.It's new, the shape of your body, / It's blue, the feeling I've got; it's a cruel summer. —"Cruel Summer"

20.Don't want no other shade of blue but you. / No other sadness in the world would do. —"Hoax"

21.When you think happiness, I hope you think that little black dress. —"Tim McGraw"

22.I am not the kind of girl who should be rudely barging in on a white veil occasion, / But you are not the kind of boy who should be marrying the wrong girl. —"Speak Now"

23.Don't call me 'kid,' don't call me 'baby,' / Look at this godforsaken mess that you made me. / You showed me colors you know I can't see with anyone else. —"Illicit Affairs"

24.The rest of the world was black and white / But we were in screaming color. —"Out of the Woods"
