This country-pop singer can do some very emotional songs.

---

• This one is probably more of a Heartwarming Moment than anything, but the ending to the video for "Love Story" can get to certain people. Particularly when the couple being compared to good ol' dead Romeo and Juliet, having been split up by Juliet's dad, reunite, and the chorus is sung a bit differently...* sniff* It's better if you hear the whole song.

"Marry me, Juliet, you'll never have to be alone I love you, and that's all I really know I talked to your dad, you'll pick out a white dress It's a love story, baby, just say yes..."

• One can be deeply affected by "White Horse", with its quite frankly miserable lyrics about having overly high hopes for a relationship. Take a wild guess why.
• "Innocent". Doubles as Heartwarming when you think of the song's context and who it's for.
• "Never Grow Up" from Speak Now. It's all about the innocence of childhood gradually disappearing; Taylor tells the kid she's singing to "never grow up", and it's heartbreaking. She even sounds like she's crying at one point, too.
• "Invisible" was a bonus track on Taylor's first album. Anyone who has ever been in unrequited love with someone who, in turn, was in unrequited love with someone else have their heart ripped out by this song.

"We could be a beautiful, miracle, unbelievable/instead of just invisible Like shadows in a faded light/ Oh, we're invisible."

• And "The Story of Us", although the music video implies that there's still hope.
• "Dear John" in every sense of the word.
• "You're Not Sorry". For anyone who's ever been betrayed by someone they loved.
• The plainly spoken heartbreak of "If This Was a Movie" qualifies too. Who hasn't felt exactly like that before?
• "Safe and Sound," especially when taken in the context of the movie it was written for (The Hunger Games). Listen to it and think of the scene with Rue and the flowers (you know the one), and say with a straight face that it doesn't make you at least WANT to cry.
• Her cover of "Drops Of Jupiter" (Originally by Train) on her Speak Now Tour live CD is not for public listening, you will cry!
• According to Word of God, her next album will be full of these.
