Taylor Swift's "Speak Now" (Taylor's version) is coming soon, which means fans will have dozens of new lyric ideas to fill their Instagram posts with this summer. It also means fans will have the chance to once again enjoy the glow of the songs from the original 2010 album. The singer-songwriter's songs are both universal and relatable, so it's only natural that Swifties turn to her lyrics when posting on social media. Whether you're having the best time of your life or experiencing the summer blues, there's a lyric to suit your mood.
In "Speak Now," for example, Swift writes about falling in love and heartbreaking breakups. She reportedly began writing about John Mayer and their relationship when she was 19. The Grammy winner also addressed her brief romance with Joe Jonas in "Better Than Revenge." Meanwhile, Back to December tells the story of everyone's favorite ex, Taylor Lautner (ICYMI), who is praying for Mayer.
Her works also feature storybook imagery, creating fairy tales and epics out of the ordinary. In "The Story of Us," she does write about the breakdown of a relationship as the reader moves on to the next chapter. The imagery of string lights and rainstorms is very romantic. On "Long Live," the final track on the OG album, she talks about her relationship with her fans, praising their love and dedication to her craft. And of course, there’s “Possessed.”

Her "From The Vault" track from the album doesn't disappoint either, telling the story of timeless romance, right person/wrong time relationship, and even contains potential Easter eggs related to other songs in her catalog. "I had to be ruthless with my choices, and I left behind some songs that I'm still proud of. So, you have 6 From The Vault tracks!" Swift said of the new songs in an Instagram post.
Without further ado, here are 85 Speak Now (Taylor's version) quotes you can use to celebrate her latest Instagram captions.
