‘Tis the season to make the holidays your whole personality. From going to see Christmas lights to sugar cookie decorating with your besties, the holidays are filled with activities to keep you busy — and to bless your feed. That’s right, there’s nothing better than an Instagram photo dump filled with Christmas cheer. The only thing you need is a matching Instagram caption to fit all the vibes.
There’s only one place to look for poetic, creative holiday caption inspo and that’s none other than the songwriting queen herself, Taylor Swift. Swift might be the epitome of fall, but let’s not forget, she literally grew up on a Christmas tree farm (and wrote an absolute bop about it, too). She also has songs with nods to her love for the holiday season like the opening line to “Lover.” Swift’s songs can encapsulate the feelings of when you see the first fall of snow or the holiday nights spent with besties around the fireplace. So look no further, here are 25 Taylor Swift holiday lyrics for your Christmas Instagram captions.
