Taylor Swift - Wildest Dreams (Taylor's Version)

Swift hoping her lover will remember their best moments after they’re over. It expresses mixed feelings: hoping that they last, but knowing that they’ll end. Swift suddenly released the re-recording of 2014’s “Wildest Dreams” after the original version became part of a viral TikTok trend in the summer of 2021. Swift explained on Twitter following the release:

"Hi! Saw you guys got Wildest Dreams trending on Tiktok, thought you should have my version"

She also shared her own take on the TikTok trend, poking fun at how she was planning to release Red (Taylor’s Version) before any of 1989 (Taylor’s Version):

[Verse 1]

He said, "Let's get out of this town

Drive out of the city, away from the crowds"

I thought, "Heaven can't help me now"

Nothing lasts forever

But this is gonna take me down

[Pre-Chorus]

He's so tall and handsome as hell

He's so bad, but he does it so well

I can see the end as it begins

My one condition is

[Chorus]

Say you'll remember me

Standin' in a nice dress

Starin' at the sunset, babe

Red lips and rosy cheeks

Say you'll see me again

Even if it's just in your

Wildest dreams, ah, ha

[Verse 2]

I said, "No one has to know what we do"

His hands are in my hair, his clothes are in my room

And his voice is a familiar sound

Nothin' lasts forever

But this is gettin' good now

[Pre-Chorus]

He's so tall and handsome as hell

He's so bad, but he does it so well

And when we've had our very last kiss

My last request it is

[Chorus]

Say you'll remember me

Standin' in a nice dress

Starin' at the sunset, babe

Red lips and rosy cheeks

Say you'll see me again

Even if it's just in your

Wildest dreams, ah, ha (Ha, ha)

Wildest dreams, ah, ha

[Bridge]

You'll see me in hindsight

Tangled up with you all night

Burnin' it down

Someday, when you leave me

I bet these memories

Follow you around

You'll see me in hindsight

Tangled up with you all night

Burnin' (Burnin') it (It) down (Down)

Someday, when you leave me

I bet these memories

Follow (Follow) you (You) around (Around)

(Follow you around)

[Chorus]

Say you'll remember me

Standing in a nice dress

Starin' at the sunset, babe

Red lips and rosy cheeks

Say you'll see me again

Even if it's just pretend

Say you'll remember me

Standin' in a nice dress

Starin' at the sunset, babe

Red lips and rosy cheeks

Say you'll see me again

Even if it's just in your (Just pretend, just pretend)

Wildest dreams, ah, ha (Ah-ah)

Wildest dreams, ah, ha

Even if it's just in your

In your wildest dreams, ah, ha

The Real Meaning Behind Taylor Swift's Wildest Dreams - The ListTaylor Swift's "Wildest Dreams" is a fan favorite song, the real meaning of which the pop star's legions of followers have spent years trying to figure out.

What does "Wildest Dreams" by Taylor Swift mean? — The Pop Song ProfessorReleased in October of 2014, Taylor Swift's 1989 album is still current news. On August 25th, she re-released "Wildest Dreams," the ninth track from the album, as a single, and on the 30th, she released an accompanying music video featuring an African movie set, plenty of lions, and a st

I think the way I used to approach relationships was very idealistic. I used to go into them thinking, ‘Maybe this is the one — we’ll get married and have a family, this could be forever.’ Whereas now I go in thinking, ‘How long do we have on the clock — before something comes along and puts a wrench in it, or your publicist calls and says this isn’t a good idea?'

“Wildest Dreams” is kind of a good example of the way that my outlook on love has changed. Over the years, I think, as you get more experience under your belt, as you become disappointed a few times, you start to kind of think of things in more realistic terms. It’s not like you need someone and that’s it, you know, if they like you and you like them, well, it’s gonna be forever, of course. I don’t really look at love like that anymore. I think the way I see love is kind of a little more fatalistic, which means, to me, that when I meet someone and we have a connection, the first thought I really have is, “When this is over, I hope you think well of me.” So, this song is about having that immediate connection with someone, and these were my vivid thoughts right as I met him.
