“State of Grace” - Sing Street
The album opener was Taylor’s first foray into stadium rock, a huge sound worthy of U2. So what could match the mood better thanSing Street, a sweet musical about a group of young, aspiring rockers in 1980s Ireland? (Bonus for a Swift-worthy romance.)
Lyric Match: “This is the golden age of something good and right and real.”
“Red” - Endings, Beginnings
Daphne (Shailene Woodley) finds herself in an intense love triangle when she begins dating stable, reliable Jack (Jamie Dornan), but can’t resist her attraction to his volatile best friend Frank (Sebastian Stan). What follows is a tempestuous, burning red love affair.
Lyric Match: “Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly.”
“Treacherous” - Brokeback Mountain
The years-long romance between Ennis (Heath Ledger) and Jack (Jake Gyllenhaal, who just so happens to be catching heat asRed’s embattled alleged muse, but we couldn’t resist including this film) threatens to upend both of their lives, and yet they find it impossible to resist each other’s orbits in thisAng Leemasterpiece. As smart as it might be to walk away, they just can’t quit each other.
Lyric Match: “Your name has echoed through my mind and I just think you should, think you should know/That nothing safe is worth the drive.”
“I Knew You Were Trouble.” - After
The quintessential bad boy track deserves this generation’s quintessential bad boy: Hardin Scott (Hero Fiennes Tiffin). Tessa (Josephine Langford) can’t say she didn’t know exactly what she was getting into with this dark romance. To make this match even more perfect, Hardin’s character is based onHarry Styles(Afterbegan as fanfiction about the former 1D member), rumored to be a possible inspiration for the song.
Lyric Match: “I knew you were trouble when you walked in, so shame on me.”
“All Too Well” - Autumn in New York
If you’re yearning for more after Taylor’sAll Too Wellshort film, tryAutumn in New YorkstarringRichard GereandWinona Ryder. This tearjerker serves up a different kind of heartbreak than the song, but there are a lot of similarities: a significant age gap romance where the older male love interest doesn’t always treat his lady the way she deserves. Plus, autumn leaves falling down like pieces into place in a New York setting!
Lyric Match: “It was rare, I was there, I remember it all too well.”
“22” - Sixteen Candles
There aren’t many movies about turning 22 years old – instead, try one of the most classic birthday rom-coms of all time.Molly Ringwaldstars as a desolate teenager forgotten by family on her birthday – but the day finishes off a lot better than it starts. We’re pretty sure Taylor would approve!
Lyric Match: “We’re happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time/It’s miserable and magical.”
“I Almost Do” - Sylvie’s Love
“I Almost Do” is about longing for an ex who you would take back in a heartbeat – kind of like what Sylvie (Tessa Thompson) and Robert (Nnamdi Asomugha) experience after their five-year separation, when Robert leaves for Paris to play music and Sylvie stays behind to begin her television career. (Luckily, these two have a chance at a reunion, rather than remaining an “almost.")
Lyric Match: “I bet you’re sittin' in your chair by the window looking out at the city/and I bet sometimes you wonder ‘bout me.”
“We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” - John Tucker Must Die
The poppy first single fromRedis an exuberant kiss-off to a sub-par ex.John Tucker Must Dieis similar in tone if not in content, a track the leading ladies would definitely blast as they plot their revenge.
Lyric Match: “I say, ‘I hate you,’ we break up, you call me, I love you.”
“Stay Stay Stay” - To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before
“Stay Stay Stay” was always a bit incongruous amidstRed’s tracklist, but it recalls the playful innocence of a teen rom-com.To All The Boys I’ve Loved Beforeis one of the best of the genre, and c’mon, can’t you see Peter Kavinsky (Noah Centineo) jokingly donning his lacrosse helmet during a fight with Lara Jean (Lana Condor)?
Lyric Match: “You took the time to memorize me/My fears, my hopes, and dreams/I just like hanging out with you, all the time.”
“The Last Time (Ft. Gary Lightbody)” - Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Mindis a cult classic about a relationship being erased from memory. As Joel (Jim Carrey) begins to forget Clementine (Kate Winslet), he has one last desperate chance to preserve what they had, unaware of all that went wrong the first time.
Lyric Match: “And right before your eyes/I’m breaking, no past no reasons why/Just you and me.”
