Taylor Swift and Sports
Note: This post is for the name of a sport, so for example "swimming" appears here but "swam" does not. For "running," I limited what appears here to lyrics that could indicate physically running rather than "time is running out" for example.

I'm sick and tired of your reasons I've got no one to believe in / as I paced back and forth all this time cuz I honestly believed in you / wasn't it beautiful when you believed in everything and everybody believed in you? / I'm still a believer but I don't know why / your faithless love's the only hoax I believe in / dreams of your hair and your stare and your sense of belief in the good in the world, you once believed in me / I got nothing to believe unless you're choosing me

Taylor Swift and War
Note: huge thank you to @meandmypagancrew who assembled the lyrics for this post! A quick reminder that these type of posts can be quite subjective and we have taken a pretty broad view, but please comment if you think something has been left out.
'Taylor Swift'
(no war)
'Fearless (Taylor's Version)'
Tell Me Why: I took a chance, I took a shot and you might think I’m bulletproof but I’m not
Change: It's a sad picture, the final blow hits you
Change: This revolution, the time will come
Change: We’ve been outnumbered, raided and now cornered
Change: It’s hard to fight when the fight ain’t fair
Change: Tonight we’ll stand, get off our knees, fight for what we’ve worked for all these years
Change: The battle was long, it’s the fight of our lives
Change: It’s a revolution, through your hands up
Mr. Perfectly Fine: So strategized, all the eyes on you
'Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’'
Mean: You can take me down with just one single blow
Mean: You, with your switching sides and your wildfire lies and your humiliation
Innocent: I guess you really did it this time, left yourself in your warpath
Long Live: I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you
Timeless: Even if we’d met on a crowded street in 1944, and you were heard off to fight in the war
Timeless: I would’ve read your love letters every single night and prayed to God you’d be coming home all right
'Red (Taylor's Version)'
State of Grace: You come around and the armor falls, pierce the room like a cannonball
Ronan: You fought it hard like an army guy
Better Man: Push my love away like it’s some kind of loaded gun
Nothing New: Shoot you down and then they sigh and say “She looks like she’s been through it”
All Too Well (10 Minute Version): I’m a soldier who’s returning half her weight
'1989 (Taylor’s Version)’
Bad Blood: Band-aids don’t fix bullet holes
I Know Places: They take their shots, but we’re bulletproof
Clean: Hung my head as I lost the war
You Are In Love: And you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars
Bad Blood (feat. Kendrick Lamar): Now POV of you and me, similar Iraq
Bad Blood (feat. Kendrick Lamar): It was my season for battle wounds, battle scars, body bumped, bruised
'reputation'
(no war)
'Lover'
The Archer: Combat, I’m ready for combat
You Need To Calm Down: You are somebody that I don’t know but you’re taking shots at me like it’s Patrón
You Need To Calm Down: You are somebody that we don’t know but you’re coming at my friends like a missile
'folklore'
Exile: You’re not my homeland anymore, so what am I defending now?
My Tears Ricochet: And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves
Mad Woman: My cannons all firing at your yacht
Epiphany: Keep your helmet, keep your life, son
Epiphany: Just a flesh wound, here’s your rifle
Epiphany: Crawling up the beaches now, “Sir, I think he’s bleeding out”
Epiphany: With you I serve, with you I fall down, down
Peace: And you know that I’d swing with you for the fences, sit with you in the trenches
'evermore'
Tolerate It: I greet you with a battle hero’s welcome
Tolerate It: When did all our lessons start to look like weapons pointed at my deepest hurt?
Long Story Short: Fatefully, I tried to pick my battles ‘til the battle picked me
Long Story Short: We live in peace, but if someone comes at us, this time, I’m ready
Evermore: Whether weather be the frost or the violence of the dog days
'Midnights'
Mastermind: Strategy sets the scene for the tale
The Great War: Flashes of the battle come back to me in a blur
The Great War: All that bloodshed, crimson clover
The Great War: My hand was the one you reached for all throughout the Great War
The Great War: I vowed not to cry anymore if we survived the Great War
The Great War: You drew up some good faith treaties
The Great War: The bombs were closer
The Great War: I vowed not to fight anymore if we survived the Great War
The Great War: Soldier down on that icy ground
The Great War: Broken and blue, so I called off the troops
The Great War: There’s no morning glory, it was war, it wasn’t fair
The Great War: I vowed I would always be yours 'cause we survived the Great War
You’re Losing Me: All I did was bleed as I tried to be the bravest soldier
You’re Losing Me: Fighting in only your army, front lines, don’t your ignore me
Other Songs written by Taylor
Eyes Open: Yesterday, we were just children playing soldiers, just pretending
Eyes Open: In backyards, winning battles with our wooden swords
Renegade: You fire off missiles cause you hate yourself, but do you know you’re demolishing me?

The Alcott: Everything that’s mine is a landmine

Taylor Swift and Western Astrology
Note: for this post, I tried to select only lyrics that could arguably seem like they might be referencing astrology (within my limited knowledge of it!), rather than listing all instances of terms that are used in astrology. For example, "crescent moon" appears here because moon phases can be used in astrology, but other general references to the moon are not included. For those complete lists, see stars, signs, twins, outer space, fate, sun, moon, fire, water, air, houses, animals.

'1989 (Taylor's Version)'

'reputation'

'Lover'
The Archer: I've been the archer, I've been the prey
'folklore'
Mad Woman: Does a scorpion sting when fighting back?
Hoax: My eclipsed sun, this has broken me down
'evermore'
Ivy: Crescent moon, coast is clear, spring breaks loose, but so does fear
Long Story Short: And he’s passing by, rare as the glimmer of a comet in the sky
'Midnights'
Snow On The Beach: One night a few moons ago, I saw flecks of what could’ve been lights
Question…?: Does it feel like everything’s just, like, second best after that meteor strike?
Mastermind: Once upon a time, the planets and the fates and all the stars aligned
High Infidelity: Do I really have to chart the constellations in his eyes?
Other Songs written by Taylor
