Taylor Swift is one of the moving forces on planet at the present moment hailed for her writing and cultural impact. Hailing from Reading, Pennsylvania, who started her career at a young age of sixteen, she has been a critically acclaimed songwriter during her long enduring career of almost two decades. Her songwriting skills are slowly entering academics as they are worth noticing as a part of literature. Therefore, this paper aims to read a few of her songs in the light of a model of literariness, as provided by two Professors Emeritus, Dr. David S. Miall and Dr. Don Kuiken, who necessitates an integrated approach of three elements of literariness. By excluding the performance of the songstress and focusing on the lyrics right off the bat, this paper examines her literariness that aids her literary functionality.
