«I Knew You Were Trouble»

This song, from Swift’s 2012 album «Red,» is widely believed to be about Harry Styles. The lyrics refer to a bad boy who’s «no good for me» but who the singer can’t resist. Swift herself has hinted that the song was inspired by a toxic relationship she had at the time, and many fans have speculated that Styles was the subject.

«Style»

Swift’s 2014 hit «Style» is another song that’s often linked to Harry Styles. The lyrics include references to a man with «long hair, slicked back, and a white T-shirt.» Styles was known for his long hair at the time, and he often wore white T-shirts both on and off stage. The song is a catchy and upbeat tribute to a former flame.

«Out of the Woods»

«Out of the Woods,» which appeared on Swift’s 2014 album «1989,» is one of her most emotional and vulnerable songs. The lyrics describe a relationship that was «made of paper» and «built to fall apart.» Swift has confirmed that the song is about her time with Harry Styles, and the chorus includes the lines «we were built to fall apart, then fall back together.»

«Two Ghosts»

While «Two Ghosts» is actually a Harry Styles song and not a Taylor Swift song, it’s worth mentioning here because it’s widely believed to be a response to Swift’s «Style.» The lyrics describe a relationship that’s ended but is still on the singer’s mind. Fans have interpreted the song as a commentary on Swift and Styles’ brief but intense romance.
