Sam Evans and "Fearless" (2008)
Sam Evans is obviously the biggest Swiftie in the New Directions (and I will forever be salty that he never sung one of her songs) so I've tasked myself to go through her discography and relate her songs to Sam in someway (an AU idea, when he could sing it in Canon, or when someone else could sing it to or about him)
Feel free to use any of these as prompts for fanart/fanfic and let me know if you do!

Here's Fearless (2008) to continue our journey (lyrics linked)
"Fearless" (2008)
Jump Then Fall
Samcedes feels 😍
Like just after Prom Queen as they're just getting together. I can imagine Sam singing it as a way to tell her that it's okay to fall for him. I have a huge headcanon that he and Mercedes spent a lot of That Summer on the bank of the Lake in a little hidden place. Mercedes reading, Sam drawing, both jamming out and singing together to Sam's guitar - this is one of his go to songs.
'Cause every time you smile, I smile // And every time you shine, I'll shine for you
(so many of these are going to be Samcedes based I just know it)
Untouchable
Samcedes again
basically I can see this in S3 when they're kind of skirting around each other and not together but not not together, you know? and especially this line
Like a million little stars // Spelling out your name
makes me think of them, because of Human Nature and Mercedes' names up in lights.
Here is a gif set I made to the song 🥰
Sam just wants to get back together with Mercedes, but she feels untouchable in that moment and being around her so close after missing her so much is just so hard when she won't let him in again
Also Hevans would be perfect for this song too.
Come on, come on // Little taste of Heaven Hevans
Come In With The Rain
and once again, Samcedes.
This time from Mercedes' POV though, after Sam leaves for Kentucky, just wishing he'll be back.
Just know I'm right here hopin' // That you'll come in with the rain
Superstar
Samcedes AU where Mercedes was a youtube singer in High School and Sam was a huge fan of her from the start, one of the first commenters. She gets a record contract after highschool and starts touring and finally Sam is able to see one of her live shows and go to a meet and greet. She smiles at him and talks to him and he's totally freaking out and trying not to show it because he's kind of watched her grow into this Superstar of a singer for years now and he's finally meeting her and he blurts out that he's been subscribed to her from the very start and she remembers his goofy screen name (SamIAm) and the comment he left on her first video and he's totally freaking out now but in a good way because she's everything he though she would be. obviously they get together somehow but idk how
Give me a photograph to hang on my wall, superstar
The Other Side Of The Door
I can kind of only think of an angsty little hevans fic from Kurt's POV after an argument for this one
Me and my stupid pride are sitting here alone // Going through the photographs, staring at the phone
Fearless
Samcedes First Kiss after getting caught in the rain
Well, you stood there with me in the doorway // My hands shake // I'm not usually this way // But you pull me in and I'm a little more brave // It's the first kiss // It's flawless // Really something // It's fearless
Fifteen
I'm just going to base this on these lyrics
'Cause when you're fifteen and somebody tells you they love you // You're gonna believe them
This just feels so much like Sam and how quickly he fell for Quinn it's ridiculous, especially since he's 15 in S2 (turns 16 in Rumours/before Prom Queen)
Love Story
There's something very Sam about this one, but I'm not sure what ship i would go with.
I think it's the whole—
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring
—thing that reminds me of Sam the most, like the scene with Quinn and the promise ring, and him "marrying" Brittany. Sam is definitely not scared of commitment. He also wouldn't be scared of having a star-crossed lovers sort of relationship, he'd stand up for his relationship no matter who was in opposition.
I'm thinking a M/M ship simply for the more taboo nature of it, maybe a Blam AU?
Hey Stephen
Samcedes Mercedes POV
Of all the girls tossing rocks at your window // I'll be the one waiting there even when it's cold // Hey, Stephen // Boy, you might have me believing // I don't always have to be alone
White Horse
Sam POV after Quinn cheats on him with Finn. He totally had this song on repeat for like a week after that.
This ain't Hollywood, this is a small town // I was a dreamer before you went and let me down
You Belong With Me
Hevans
this song is such a hevans song for me, Kurt pining over Sam while he's with Quinn. The writers were cowards for not having Kurt sing this song while looking longingly at Sam, It's too perfect.
Breathe
She's cheer captain // And I'm on the bleachers // Dreaming about the day when you wake up and find // That what you're looking for has been here the whole time
It has come to my attention that this also works really well for s4 Blam. Like so perfectly well it's insane. Even better than Hevans.
Here's a video by @daltonblaine
Sam leaving Mercedes when he goes to Kentucky
Never wanted this, never wanna see you hurt // Every little bump in the road, I tried to swerve // But people are people and sometimes it doesn't work out // Nothing we say is gonna save us from the fall out
Tell Me Why
Fabrevans breakup again. Another song Sam totally had on repeat
You tell me that you love me, then cut me down // And I need you like a heartbeat // But you know you got a mean streak // That makes me run for cover when you're around
You're Not Sorry
This is yet another song Sam had on repeat after the fabrevans break up
This is the last straw // Don't wanna hurt anymore // And you can tell me that you're sorry // But I don't believe you baby
The Way I Loved You
Samcedes Mercedes POV about Sam when she's with Shane
It's a roller coaster kind of rush // And I never knew I could feel that much // And that's the way I loved you
Forever & Always
Samcedes from Mercedes POV after Sam moves to Kentucky and just stops communicating with anyone from McKinley
It rains when you're here and it rains when you're gone // 'Cause I was there when you said forever and always
The Best Day
This is a hard one because it has such a story to it. But I'm thinking maybe from Stevie or Stacey's POV and how good of a brother Sam is? That would be cute I think. Just ignore the last couple of verses that make it obvious that this song is about a mom and a child and it would make a really cute little song fic 🥰
There is a video I found from back when I was three // You set up a paint set in the kitchen and you're talking to me
Change
Sam sings this in Comeback as an 'Anthem' instead of Baby and then the whole episode is just Taylor themed instead of Bieber.
and obviously the episode ends with Mean.
Here is a link to a post where I outline this very idea for the gleeful-painbox-project prompt 5: previously unaired
So we've been outnumbered // Raided and now cornered // It's hard to fight when the fight ain't fair // We're getting stronger now // Find things they never found // They might be bigger // But we're faster and never scared
