OK, so Bustle nerded out hard when the "Drizzy" app that lets you text people Drake lyrics was launched. I legitimately spent an entire Saturday night drinking wine and talking to people on Tinder using Drake lyrics, because why the hell not. But even as I was busy doing that, I remember specifically asking the Swiftie gods for a similar app, and #bless, because they heard my plea: the "TayText" app responds to texts in Taylor Swift lyrics, and I'm more happy, free, confused and lonely in the best way than I have ever been in my whole life.
To be honest, I don't really need this app in my life. I eat, sleep and breathe Taylor Swift, and if you named a Taylor Swift song at random, I could recite the lyrics to you faster than a public school fifth grader could recite the Pledge of Allegiance. In fact, if y'all want to save yourself the 99 cents that this app costs, HIT ME UP. I know Taylor songs better than Taylor does, probably.
What's especially great about this app is just how multi-functional it is. You can choose from a whopping 11 themes: Haters, Growing Up, Just Beginning, Into You, Over You, Missing You, It's Over, Preach, Party On, Trouble and Random. I mean, with a discography like Taylor's your options are intimidatingly infinite, so it's nice that they're packaging it neatly for us.
Here are the people in my life I tortured with this at an unreasonable hour this morning:
My editor
She broke me like a promise, so casually cruel in the name of being honest: "I knew you would do this to me," she said, before returning to the job she slays at like a responsible human being instead of texting me back. (Haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate.)
The BFF
To be fair, she's been dealing with my shenanigans WAY too long not to catch on fast.
The little sister
TWERP. Besting me at my own game.
So maybe this app is better used on people who are not the Usual Suspects for this kind of shenanigans, because apparently my status as "weird friend" has made everyone far too suspicious to take the Taylor bait. Here are a few other people who have put their TayText app to the test.
Basically all our friends be like:
Shake it off, guys. Shake it off.
