[Verse 1:]
I like my music loud
I like my windows down
So I can scream
I like my trucks a little bigger than the rest
So I can sing

[Pre-Chorus:]
Don't try me
Don't fight me
You be you and I'll be me

[Chorus:]
They say I've always known what I wanted
My friends and enemies will tell you it's true
You will find out I always get it
I know what I want
And it ain't you

[Verse 2:]
Your mom and daddy's walls
Are covered up in pictures of you
You never met a mirror
That you didn't love looking into

[Pre-Chorus:]
So sorry
Don't worry
I'm sure there are so many girls
Who love you like you do

[Chorus:]
They say I've always known what I wanted
My friends and enemies will tell you it's true
You will find out I always get it
I know what I want
And it ain't you
It ain't you, o-o-o, o-oh

[Bridge:]
Oh baby
Don't persuade me
I know that you ain't used to know
So let me say it really slow

[Chorus:]
They say I've always known what I wanted (it's true)
My friends and enemies will tell you it's tru-u-ue
You will find out I always get it
I get what I wa-a-ant
They say I've always known what I wanted
My friends and enemies will tell you it's true
You will find out I always get it
I know what I want
And it ain't you

Taylor Swift

One of the defining artists of the 2010s, Taylor Alison Swift, born December 13th, 1989, is an American singer-songwriter and actress who has achieved success in both country and pop. Raised on a Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania, Swift moved to Nashville, Tennessee at age fourteen to pursue a career in country music. Scott Borchetta signed Swift to his then-nonexistent label Big Machine Records after seeing her perform at the Bluebird Cafe in November 2004.

Swift debuted in June 2006 with “Tim McGraw,” an ode to a lover who would be leaving town. The song served as an introduction to her self-titled debut album, which touched upon topics like heartbreak and bullying Swift faced at school. Her honesty and relatability appealed to fans from all walks of life, and went on to become the longest-charting album of the 2000s, spending 227 weeks on the Billboard 200.

Swift’s sophomore effort, Fearless, came in November 2008 and cemented her status as a country superstar, while tracks like “Love Story” and “You Belong With Me” also garnered mainstream attention. Not only did the record become her first number one, but it also became the most-awarded country album of all time, winning accolades such as the Grammy award for Album of the Year. Until Billie Eilish’s 2020 win, then-20-year-old Swift was the youngest person to have ever received the honor.
