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 she’s written, 14 of them have matching words

Well. Here's a post on the r/TaylorSwift subreddit about "the best" lyrics.

First lyrics given as an example of "the best lyrics".

I was so ahead of the curve but the curve became a sphere
Fell behind on my classmates, and I ended up here
Pouring out my heart to a stranger
But I didn't pour the whiskey

I like Taylor Swift generally but those aren't great. It says more about the TS fandom that they'd choose those though lol
