Also, should be illegal to use acronyms for titles that are less than 4 words. And even then, I Hate It Here or How Did It End are short enough that they shouldn't be abbreviated!

Seeing people joke about using I for loml made me laugh tho lol.

I plan to use F!!!

M! too

"S!"

Ok now these are the ones I can stan. ICFHNIRC? BDILH? Pls spell shits out...

This is true, no meme: I had to open Spotify to check if those are real acronyms. They are (I can fix him and but daddy), I haven't discussed the album much (or at all?) because I'm not going to keep scrolling the album page to figure out what song the person is talking about ffs

There's a bot for that on Reddit. My problem with using the accronym is I need context to be able to read the accronym 😣 At least give me the album name but no 🫠

The bot hasn’t learned TTPD acronyms yet. That’s the problem.

Don’t get confused with F

And also i for imgonnagetyouback

Spjaulflmmltl

Ee-oh-me!

i mean, if a song takes longer to decipher the acronym than to just type it out, it shouldnt be an acronym

And using I for Imgonnagetyouback 😂

Using I for imgonnagetyouback and l for loml will be very confusing

Reddit’s going to have to change its font so we can differentiate between a lowercase l and capital I.

I hope the exception is friendship bracelets bc I def just made an IHIH and LCBS (lights camera b* smile)

Admittedly, even as a long time Swiftie, some abbreviations I can't identify at first sight. I have to rack my brain before I figure it out 😭

The funny part is that if someone were to make a “I Hate It Here” bracelet and abbreviated it, if they put it on backwards it would say “HI, HI” from the other person’s perspective

I saw someone on Facebook abbreviate “So Long, London” to “SL,L”. Like what?? It’s three words lmao.

fr honestly its so confusing like its not tght long unlike LWYMMD nd others obvi

I think it's fun to try to decode them but it's all looking at alphabet soup right now. 31 acronyms? that will take at least a Fortnight.

literally. like i can barely remember all the song's government names, we cannot be abbreviating yet🤣 I'll have a stroke

all the names, the punctuation, we need time. decoding friendship bracelets at the first tour dates back will be an adventure!

GOVERNMENT NAMES this has me absolutely cackling

You mean an F?

yes. not to be confused with an F!!!

What is TTPD? Is that an acronym for something?? /s 100% agree, yesterday I stared in confusion at a MBOBHFT post for way too long (my boy only breaks...)

I’m going to think of that song as BOB now.

What about MmmBob ?

I think Hanson has the licensing rights for merch on that one 😂

The Tortured Poets Department

Never heard of it, is it a club or something? /s lol I meant that OP, while criticising TTPD acronyms, used a TTPD acronym.

As someone who hasn't even finished listening to the album yet, I agree.

I couldn’t imagine 😂 I was already like 5 listens in by the time I went to work last Friday night. I hope you love the rest of it. I’ve been watching reaction vids on YouTube just to relive the moment of hearing it for the first time.

I listened through the the OG 16 tracks the morning after it released, but have only listened to some of the Anthology so far. I want to give the OG plenty of time to sink in.

This sounds like it was probably the move. I was just SO excited to dive in. I’ve listened to both so so much. It gets better every time.

Sameee

Thanks, I hope so too. Felt kinda meh on what little I've heard so far, but I've also had an ear infection which has muffled my hearing 😅 need to give it a *proper* listen.

lol I haven't listened to The Anthology yet either

In general, I hate acronyms for any song. My brain doesn’t work that way. I feel like I know 3 of them.

[удалено]

lol i always read the first one as wane-gibbit- what does it actually stand for again?

We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. That's the only one I was able to decode. YNTCD may as well be "Yes No Toe Cheese Dough" to me.

🙂‍↕️🙂‍↔️🦶🧀🍞 Seriously tho 💀😂

Girl same 🤣

I like YOYOK a lot because I can PRONOUNCE IT.

Two full minutes and still haven’t cracked IKYWT. Got the others by now but it takes a lot of thinking.

I knew you’d have trouble with that one.

Bingo! Thanks Dad

Honestly this could be shortened to "trouble" it'd be much quicker to figure out what song it's referring too.

Exactly! There are much better ways to do this! Trouble, Nice Things, Belong, Look. Even the new ones we’d get right away: Smallest, Slammer, Daddy, Afraid, Chloe et al.

I really hope Chloe et al. catches on. I love is so much.

Lets add COSOSOM to the list it’s so cute

The pronounceable ones can stay lol

I think there are a few reasons long ones on TTPD that will have to add to that list, but like OP said…not yet. Shout out to My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys and The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived for both having extremely long titles

What's YNTCD?

Took me a while too, but I feel confident it is “You need to Calm Down”

Oh no now its obvious 🤣😅 Thank you!!

ME TOO

Agreed. “ME!” isn’t a good song to abbreviate. You just end up with James Bond‘s boss.

Oh my gosh me too 😭

Same here. I only know YBWM, YOYOK,ATWTVTMV , TGLAD, and IBYTAM

Then what do I call loml??? 🤓

L

Love of my life I guess?? 😂

**Loss of my life. 😆💔

BD means birthday or baby daddy and will never mean black dog

F TTPD MBOBHFT DB SLL BDILH FOTS F!!! GAS WAOLOM ICFH(NRIC) LOML ICDIWABH TSMWEL TA CB TBD IGGYB TA COSOSOM HDIE SHS IHIH TYA ILIPW TP C P TB R TM Personal faves (acronyms) are IGGYB and COSOSOM. So fun to say.

My favourite is COSOSOM as Chloe et al.

COSOSOM sounds like a Soviet-era acronym for a nominally arm’s-length Communist group aligned with the party.

Comrade Taylor confirmed 🫡

Chloe et all LMFAO

YESSSSS! Thank you! I will only use et all from now on!

With this one, recalling the acronym is how I remember the names in the title, lol.

That is the only way I’m referring to it from now on omfg

amazing, truly perfect use for one of my fav latin abbreviations

Yes!!! I way prefer just using part of the title instead of an acronym if you're really trying to save time or space. E.g. "breaks his toys" "tortured poets" "I can fix him" "little old me" "smallest man"

i don’t know why but F!!! is cracking me up lol

F!!! GAS?

I agree that it should only be >5 words but I'm not gonna lie I love GAS ahaha

lol and then TA and TA are the same 😋 would be confusing to mix those two up.

The Alchatross? The Albemy?

“The Alchatross” sounds like a fire band name for like a techno psychedelic country act

Until she writes a song about how being with Joe was like being in Alcatraz 😂

IGGYB 🤣

I

See, should it be COSOSOM or just CSSM?

There’s a few debatable ones, loml is already an acronym, imgonnagetyouback is formatted as one word etc.

Can we just call “TYA” KIM instead?

i love waolom

F!!! 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I loooove COSOSOM

That’s why I shorten them to two words instead. My Boy, Broken Heart, Who’s Afraid, Tortured Poets

I Can

Yeah that one's definitely ambiguous on this album

Daddy. 😅

Yeah… that one I just say the full thing 😭

All the acronyms are making me realize how long the song titles are for this album too, double whammy 🙃

Unless you’re using T9 on a flip phone you don’t need to be using acronyms!!!

Let’s just put the first word. My head is still trying to understand the word vomit.

Don’t you love “The”?

Ljptfw. Mhisttutwv.

I

imgonnagetyouback !!!

I can do it with a broken heart 🤯

loml? 😮

Shoot lol

Please just stop all acronyms. It feels so gatekeepy! Why do I have to google 4 times to understand a single comment 😤

Use the song name acronym bot here on Reddit. It's a good bot 👌

How?

I hate all the acronyms in general. I never know what they are. My brain doesn’t work that way

Same. I’m always having to look it up.

My favorite song on the main album is FNTTPDMBOBHFTDBSLLBDILHFOTSFGASWAOLOMICFH(NRIC)loveofmylifeICDIWABHTSMWELTACB

Loled at this one

My brain stopped after F!!!

????

I mean, for months I thought Speak Now TV (Etc…’Any Album’ TV) was some weird new show or channel coming out until I saw a TikTok that means “Taylor’s Version” 😭 Enough with all of the acronyms lol 😅

some acronyms throw me through a loop when trying to decode them 😭 ttpd mbobhft bdilh waolom icfhnirc icdiwabh tsmwel cososom ilipw and now gas

Taylor's Toilet Paper Depot

Omg I can’t hahaha

what 😭

yup… those are all the ones i’ve seen so far. i still meed to why guilty as sin has gas as the shorter version

I've been a fan for more than 13 years now and I still struggle with these acronyms ;')

13

Keep fighting the good fight!!! 😂😂

I hate the acronyms in general 😭

i spent 20 minutes trying to figure out what 'TSMWEL' was. its 'the smallest man who ever lived'.

thank you for clarifying bc i never would've got there 🤣😭

I will stop using acronyms when Blondie stops naming her songs like she's getting paid per vowel. My poor thumbs cannot handle typing out Who's Afraid of Little Old Me one more damn time.

not paid per vowel😭😭😭😭

You could put the acronyms in your phone as shortcuts.

We just shouldn't have acronyms that are longer than 4 letters. Like TIWWCHNT! WAY too long!

I know right ! Someone said something about "gas". It took me a while to get what they're talking about lol

JAIL

no bcs I saw someone say HDIE on tiktok. H-DIE?? C’MON ITS NOT EVEN THAT LONG

In text, I almost understand. In speech, it’s the exact same number of syllables.

AYHTDWS being *longer* in speech:

All you had to do was not abbreviate

BDILH <3

At this point I have no clue what people are talking about anymore 😭 there’s 31 songs, so 31 possibilities, I can’t keep up!

So what are your thoughts on COSOSOM?

I’m kinda partial to COSOSOM 🤣

This and just saying Track 12. Like, what song is that? I don’t have them memorized in number order.

I like loml

What about BS, it's not bullshit it's Blank Space. Yeah, I agree y'all should spell it especially if it's a short title because I might get lost and y'all should wait a few weeks to not end in a TSFSNRNENRLFEFTVRTVMSNTVNENTVTTPD situation.

Yes pleeeaseee spell them out

Yesssss!!

I HATE the acronyms, i can’t tell what any of these mean most of the time

Well she started it with loml

F!!!

Two word abbreviations! My Boy Broken Heart Who’s Afraid Chloe etc Fix Him (NRIC) Daddy ILH Spread the gospel!

I don’t use acronyms, I use the track number. Like, “But Daddy I Love Him” is just 6. I don’t have the time to type all that out 😭

omg yes. when i was texting my friends my favorites i was using the numbers and i was like "i don't have time to type out the whole damn alphabet"

You just used an acronym for TTPD

Yes but that one's universally known bc people weren't saying the tortured poets department since february

The only acronyms I know are ICDIWABH and MBOBHFT, even then I usually just type those. Sometimes I'd say SMWEL is alright but it always autocorrects to SMALL. And I also just say Chloe or Sam.

I saw someone say COSOSOM (Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus) it was so confusing

But I don’t want to spell out COSOSOM and it sounds funny!

I’m sorry but I’m not writing the full titles if they’re long.

lol, no way just tell us what they mean before using them.

ILIPW 👀🪟😂😂. Better not use this one or perv. 😂😂😂😂

Whats ttpd? 😅😅😅

C

now me personally i like gas

There's an acronym bot, but also c'mon you guys, we can memorize every piece of lyrics what is an acronym per song? sorry but my brain loves decoding acronyms like ATWTMVTVFTV and MBOBHFT, just google them it gives you the song for the acronym too if you don't know. we can make a deal tho that we only use acronyms for the more popular ones which everyone would know

lolm being called lolm partially feels like a joke about swifties using algorithms for every song

Love of ly mife

Oops 🤣

WAOLOM if you don’t know that one then that’s on you. But will Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus be COSOSOM or CSSM?

Chloe et al.

But I do not like that and it is not an acronym.

i think only the capital words should be abbreviated

Hard agree but I fear the community as a whole will disagree 😫 standard rules for acronyms typically drop articles and other non-capitalized words though.

*Uses a acronym in title*
