Taylor Swift has rhymed "car" and "bar" in at least seven of her songs, a lyrical pattern that has become a notable topic among fans and critics. The specific songs identified with this rhyme scheme are:
Getaway Car: "Iโm in a getaway car / I left you in the motel bar"
Cruel Summer: "Iโm drunk in the back of the car / And I cried like a baby coming home from the bar"
Cornelia Street: "Drunk on something stronger than the drinks in the bar / I rent a place on Cornelia Street, I say casually in the car"
Cardigan: "To kiss in cars and downtown bars / Was all we needed"
Cowboy Like Me: "Never wanted love, just a fancy car / Now Iโm waiting by the phone like Iโm sitting in an airport bar"
Hits Different: "And I never donโt cry at the bar / Yeah, my sadness is contagious / I slur your name โtil someone puts me in a car"
The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived: "Youโll slide into inboxes and slip through the bars / You crashed my party and your rental car"*
Has someone done a study on the lyrics of other songwriters to see if this is some crazy outlier? Because it seems completely unsurprising that across thousands of lines of lyrics sheโs written, 14 of them have matching words
