Swift rose to mainstream prominence with her sophomore studio album, Fearless (2008), a country pop record with crossover appeal. Aided by the top-five singles “Love Story” and “You Belong with Me”, Fearless was certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Swift's third studio album, Speak Now (2010), blended country pop with elements of rock and featured the top-ten singles “Mine” and “Back to December”.
Drawing inspiration from various pop, rock, and electronic genres, Swift's fourth studio album Red (2012) saw her transcending her country roots. She completely moved to pop with her synth-pop fifth studio album, 1989 (2014), and expanded the electropop sound on her next two studio albums, reputation (2017) and Lover (2019), which respectively embraced urban and retro styles. The four albums spawned a string of international top-five singles, including “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”, “I Knew You Were Trouble”, “Shake It Off”, “Blank Space”, “Bad Blood”, “Look What You Made Me Do”, “ME! (feat. Brendon Urie of Panic! at the Disco)”, “You Need to Calm Down”, and “Lover”.
In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Swift experimented with folk and alternative rock on her eighth and ninth studio albums, folklore and evermore (both 2020), whose lead singles “cardigan” and “willow” topped charts around the world. She also released the critically acclaimed documentaries Miss Americana and Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions that year. Swift's tenth studio album, Midnights (2022), marked her triumphant return to pop after two folk albums. The album set the record for biggest first day and first week ever on Spotify, spawned the hits Anti-Hero and Lavender Haze, and sold over 1.5 million copies in its first week becoming not only the biggest debut of the decade but also Swift's biggest debut ever. She would make history by becoming the first artist to occupy the entire top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 with tracks from Midnights.
Additionally, Swift began re-recording her back catalog in November 2020 as a result of a publicized dispute with talent manager Scooter Braun and her former label Big Machine, regarding the acquisition of the masters of her back catalog. In April 2021, Swift released a re-recorded issue of her 2008 album Fearless, titled Fearless (Taylor's Version). It debuted at number one in the US. Swift continued releasing re-recorded versions of her back catalog in November, 2021 with the release of Red (Taylor's Version), a 30 track re-issue of her 2012 critical smash. The album debuted at #1 in the US, spawned the #1 hit All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault), and broke the record at the time for biggest first day for a female album on Spotify. Red (Taylor's Version) was a critical and commercial hit, and proved that Swift's ambitious, yet ongoing plan to re-record her first 6 albums was well worth it.
Along with the release of Red (Taylor's Version) came All Too Well: The Short Film (2021), Swift's filmmaking debut. The 15 minute romantic drama was based on the lyrical content from Swift's 2012 fan favorite “All Too Well” starring Sadie Sink and Dylan O'Brien. It had a limited theatrical release in major cities, and Swift held special screenings of the film throughout 2022 at various film festivals. In December, 2022 Taylor announced that she would be making her feature directorial debut with Oscar-winning studio Searchlight Pictures.
Following the release of Midnights, Swift would embark on her first tour in five years, The Eras Tour—a retrospective tour covering the entirety of her discography. During her ongoing tour, Swift would release her next two re-recorded albums, Speak Now (Taylor's Version) in July and 1989 (Taylor's Version) in October of 2023. The former of which would land Swift as the woman with the most number-one albums (12) in Billboard 200 history, surpassing Barbra Streisand. The latter was her sixth album to sell one million copies in a single week in the US, her largest album sales in a week span. “Is It Over Now? (Taylor's Version)”, the lead single for 1989 (Taylor's Version), would peak at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.
At the 66th annual GRAMMY Awards, Taylor Swift surprised viewers by announcing her eleventh studio album, THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT. On April 19, 2024, the album was released globally, breaking records: it became the first ever to amass 1 billion Spotify streams in a week and sold 2.6 million units in its first week in the US. Swift dominated the charts, monopolizing the top 14 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 and securing the top 10 positions on Australia’s ARIA Singles Chart. The lead single, Fortnight, featuring Post Malone, quickly soared to the number-one position on the Hot 100. Additionally, just two hours after the album’s release, Swift surprised fans with a reissue titled THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT: THE ANTHOLOGY, which included 15 extra songs.
Swift has released several songs for film soundtracks. She co-wrote two songs for the Hannah Montana: The Movie soundtrack— “You'll Always Find Your Way Back Home” and “Crazier”, and contributed two songs to the Valentine's Day soundtrack, including the single “Today Was a Fairytale”, which was her first number one on the Canadian Hot 100, and peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. She also contributed two original songs to The Hunger Games soundtrack album: “Safe & Sound - from The Hunger Games Soundtrack”, co-written and recorded with The Civil Wars and T-Bone Burnett, and “Eyes Open”. “Safe & Sound” won the Grammy Award for Best Song Written for Visual Media and was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Song. In 2013, Swift recorded “Sweeter than Fiction”, a song she wrote and produced with Jack Antonoff for the One Chance film soundtrack, which received a Best Original Song nomination at the 71st Golden Globe Awards. Swift and English singer Zayn Malik, mononymously known as Zayn, released a single together, “I Don't Wanna Live Forever”, for the soundtrack of the film Fifty Shades Darker (2017). She also recorded an original song called “Beautiful Ghosts”, which she wrote with Andrew Lloyd Webber for the Cats's soundtrack (2019). In 2020, Swift's documentary Miss Americana featured the song “Only the Young” which was written after the 2018 United States elections. In 2022, she released an original song titled “Carolina” for Where The Crawdads Sing (2022) inspired by the novel written by Delia Owens.
With sales of over 200 million records worldwide, Swift is a best-selling music artist. Her accolades include 14 Grammy Awards, including four Album of the Year wins, which makes Swift the artist with the most awards for that category in history, two Brit Awards (including a Global Icon award), an Emmy Award, 28 Guinness World Records, 32 American Music Awards (the most wins by an artist), and 23 Billboard Music Awards (the most wins by a woman). She ranked eighth on Billboard's Greatest of All Time Artists Chart (2019) and was listed on Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time (2015). Swift has been included in various power rankings, such as Time's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world (2010, 2015 and 2019) and Forbes Celebrity 100 (placing first in 2016 and 2019). She was named Woman of the Decade (2010s) by Billboard, Artist of the Decade (2010s) by the American Music Awards, and Person of the Year (2023) by Time Magazine.
Is It Over Now? (Taylor
Taylor Swift Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With the wilt of the rose
I slept all alone
You still wouldn't go
Let's fast forward to three hundred takeout coffees later
I see your profile and your smile on unsuspecting waiters
You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitorYou search in every maiden's bed for something greater
Baby, was it over
When she laid down on your couch?
Was it over when he unbuttoned my blouse?
"Come here," I whispered in your ear
In your dream as you passed out, baby
Was it over then?
And is it over now?
When you lost control
Red blood, white snow
Blue dress on a boat
Your new girl is my clone
And did you think I didn't see you?
There were flashing lights
At least I had the decency
To keep my nights out of sight
Only rumors 'bout my hips and thighs
And my whispered sighs
Oh, Lord, I think about
Jumping off of very tall somethings
Just to see you come running
And say the one thing I've been wanting
But no
Let's fast forward to three hundred awkward blind dates later
If she's got blue eyes, I will surmise that you'll probably date her
You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor
You search in every model's bed for something greater
Baby, was it over
When she laid down on your couch?
Was it over when he unbuttoned my blouse?
"Come here," I whispered in your ear
In your dream as you passed out, baby
Was it over then?
And is it over now?
Think I didn't see you?
There were flashing lights
At least I had the decency
To keep my nights out of sight
Only rumors 'bout my hips and thighs
And my whispered sighs
Oh, Lord, I think about
Jumping off of very tall somethings
Just to see you come running
And say the one thing I've been wanting
But no
(Flashing lights, oh, Lord)
Let's fast forward to three hundred takeout coffees later
(Flashing lights) I was hoping you'd be there
And say the one thing (oh, Lord) I've been wanting (oh, Lord)
But no
The lyrics to Taylor Swift's song "Is It Over Now?" depict the aftermath of a failed relationship and the lingering feelings of hurt, betrayal, and longing. The song starts with the singer reflecting on the past, feeling alone and wondering why their partner refused to leave despite the relationship's deterioration. The mention of the wilted rose symbolizes the loss of love and the sense of decay in the relationship.
As the song progresses, the singer fast forwards to the present, where they see their ex-partner moving on with someone new who resembles them physically. The lyrics highlight the pain of realizing that their partner has moved on and is finding solace in someone who is essentially a copy of the singer. The singer questions if their partner truly felt any guilt or remorse while being intimate with the new person, recalling the moment when their own blouse was unbuttoned.
The chorus repeats the question of whether the relationship was truly over when their partner started seeing someone else, hinting at the singer's desperation for closure. The lyrics also touch upon the rumors and speculation surrounding the singer's personal life, suggesting that while they may have kept their own nights out of public sight, they are still haunted by the memories and the desire for their ex-partner's attention and affirmation.
Line by Line Meaning
Once the flight had flown
After our relationship fell apart
With the wilt of the rose
When our love started to fade
I slept all alone
I felt lonely without you
You still wouldn't go
You didn't want to leave me
Let's fast forward to three hundred takeout coffees later
Skipping ahead to numerous encounters with strangers
I see your profile and your smile on unsuspecting waiters
I catch glimpses of you in unexpected places
You dream of my mouth before it called you a lying traitor
You remember our intimacy before our falling out
You search in every maiden's bed for something greater
You seek a better relationship with every new person you meet
Baby, was it over
Did our love come to an end
When she laid down on your couch?
When another woman entered your life
Was it over when he unbuttoned my blouse?
Was it truly finished when someone else touched me
"Come here," I whispered in your ear
I tried to bring you back with my words
In your dream as you passed out, baby
In your unconscious thoughts
Was it over then?
Did our relationship truly end at that point
And is it over now?
Is our love completely finished
When you lost control
When you no longer had power over our relationship
Red blood, white snow
Symbolizing violence and purity
Blue dress on a boat
A specific memory of ours
Your new girl is my clone
Your current partner resembles me
And did you think I didn't see you?
Did you believe I was unaware of your actions
There were flashing lights
Drawing attention to your behavior
At least I had the decency
I maintained a sense of propriety
To keep my nights out of sight
I kept my personal life private
Only rumors 'bout my hips and thighs
People spreading gossip about my body
And my whispered sighs
The sounds of my longing
Oh, Lord, I think about
I reflect on
Jumping off of very tall somethings
Taking drastic actions to get your attention
Just to see you come running
Hoping you'll chase after me
And say the one thing I've been wanting
Express what I've longed to hear
But no
But it hasn't happened
I was hoping you'd be there
I had expectations of seeing you
And say the one thing I've been wanting
And hear the words I've desired
But no
But it didn't occur

Nice to meet you, where you been?
Hey there, I'm interested in getting to know you. What's your story? test
I could show you incredible things. Magic, madness, heaven, sin
I can offer you an exciting, unpredictable experience. It could be heavenly or dangerous.
Saw you there and I thought, Oh my God, look at that face. You look like my next mistake
When I saw you, I was immediately drawn to you. But I have a habit of getting into relationships that end poorly.
Love's a game, wanna play? Ayy
I view relationships as a game, and I want to see if you're up for playing it with me.
New money, suit and tie. I can read you like a magazine
You appear to be wealthy and put together, but I can tell that you're not as perfect as you may seem.
Ain't it funny, rumors fly. And I know you heard about me. So hey, let's be friends
There are likely rumors and gossip about me, but I want to befriend you despite what you might have heard.
I'm dyin' to see how this one ends. Grab your passport and my hand. I can make the bad guys good for a weekend
I'm curious to see where this relationship will go. Let's go on an adventure together and I can change your perspective on things.
So it's gonna be forever. Or it's gonna go down in flames. You can tell me when it's over, mm. If the high was worth the pain
Our relationship might be long-lasting or it might be a complete disaster. Once it's over, let me know if it was worth all the trouble.
Got a long list of ex lovers. They'll tell you I'm insane. 'Cause you know I love the players. And you love the game
I've had many past relationships that didn't end well, and they might say I'm crazy. But I can tell that you're a player, and I like the game.
Cherry lips, crystal skies. I could show you incredible things. Stolen kisses, pretty lies
I can give you thrilling, romantic experiences. But I might also deceive you with sweet lies.
You're the king, baby, I'm your queen. Find out what you want. Be that girl for a month
You can be in charge of this relationship, and I'll be there to fulfill your desires. I can try being someone different for a month.
The worst is yet to come, oh no. Screaming, crying, perfect storms. I can make all the tables turn. Rose garden filled with thorns
Things might get even worse between us. We could have explosive fights and difficulties. But I have the power to change things around. Our relationship might seem wonderful, but it has hidden dangers.
Keep you second guessing like. Oh my God, who is she? I get drunk on jealousy. But you'll come back each time you leave
I can be unpredictable and keep you on your toes. I'm prone to jealousy, but you'll keep coming back to me despite my flaws.
'Cause darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream
I might seem lovely and sweet, but I can turn into a total nightmare in a relationship.
Boys only want love if it's torture. Don't say I didn't, say I didn't warn ya
Many men enjoy being in dramatic, tumultuous relationships. I'm warning you that's what you're in for with me.
But I've got a blank space, baby. And I'll write your name
I may have a history of failed relationships, but now there's an opportunity for something new and exciting with you. I'll make you mine, and it'll be unforgettable.
