Which Taylor Swift song represents each character from Euphoria?

Here’s your deep dive into the Euphoria characters and the way they connect to some of Taylor’s most thought-provoking lyrics.

Rue Bennett – I Did Something Bad.

Rue is a struggling drug addict who often makes terrible decisions with no regard for her future or her own well-being.

Taylor sings, “They say I did something bad. Then why’s it feel so good? Most fun I ever had and I’d do it over and over and over again if I could. It just felt so good, good.”

These words sound like something Rue would definitely say.

Jules Vaughn – You Need to Calm Down.

Jules is all about self-acceptance and self-love as a transgender teenager. She’s part of the LGBTQ community, and Taylor made an entire song in support of the LGBTQ community.

Taylor sings, “You just need to take several seats and then try to restore the peace. And control your urges to scream about all the people you hate. ‘Cause shade never made anybody less gay.”

Jules dealt with shady men like Nate Jacobs and his father, but any shade from them was never going to dim her light.

Nate Jacobs – Mad Woman.

Nate is a pissy, angry, violent dude who doesn’t treat women with respect to any degree. He might not be a woman, but “Mad Woman” is still the Taylor song that applies to him.

Taylor sings, “Does a scorpion sting when fighting back? They strike to kill and you know I will. Every time you call me crazy, I get more crazy. What about that? And when you say I seem angry, I get more angry.”

Nate’s rage was out of control.

Cassie Howard – Lover.

Cassie’s obsession with male validation was impossible to ignore. She put Nate on a pedestal while they were dating, even though he did absolutely nothing to deserve such an honor.

Taylor sings, “I take this magnetic force of a man to be my lover. My heart’s been borrowed and yours has been blue. All’s well that ends well to end up with you. Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover. And you’ll save all your dirtiest jokes for me. And at every table, I’ll save you a seat, lover. Can I go where you go? Can we always be this close forever and ever?”

When Tay sings this song, it’s perfectly romantic and sweet. But just imagine these words coming out of Cassie’s mouth since she’s a character who’s riddled with desperation.

Kat Hernandez – A Place in This World.

Kat’s fierce attitude and magnetic self-love are stark reminders that she was born to stand out more than she was born to fit in.

Taylor sings, “I’ll be strong, I’ll be wrong. Oh, but life goes on. Oh, I’m just a girl trying to find a place in this world. Maybe I’m just a girl on a mission, but I’m ready to fly.”

Kat spread her wings by getting into the webcamming game as a girl on a mission who was ready to fly. Her confidence was undeniable.

Maddy Perez – ME!

Maddy’s energy was always magnificent. She knew she was a baddie and her confidence was through the roof because of it.

Taylor sings, “One of these things is not like the others. Like a rainbow with all of the colors. Baby doll, when it comes to a lover. I promise that you’ll never find another like me. I’m the only one of me. Baby, that’s the fun of me.”

These lyrics sound like something Maddy would say about herself after finishing her makeup and doing her hair in a sexy style.

Fezco – It’s Nice to Have a Friend.

Fezco’s calm and peaceful energy made it easy for him to get along with just about everyone.

Taylor sings, “School bell rings, walk me home. Sidewalk chalk covered in snow. Lost my gloves, you give me one. ‘Wanna hang out?’ Yeah, sounds like fun. Video games, you pass me a note. Sleeping in tents. It’s nice to have a friend.”

This song is about the beauty and simplicity of friendship. Fezco’s friendships with other people, like Lexi for example, were always worthwhile to watch unfold.

Lexi Howard – This Is Me Trying.

Lexi spent much of her life feeling like she was in her older sister’s shadow. Having a stunning big sis like Cassie wouldn’t be easy for anyone.

Taylor sings, “I just wanted you to know that this is me trying. At least I’m trying.”

These lyrics apply to Lexi regarding her attempt to come out of Cassie’s shadow with the school play she put together.

That was her way of trying to be her own person finally.

Chris McKay – The Archer.

Chris went through a horrific SA incident with his frat brothers, and it turned his whole world upside down.

Taylor sings, “All the king’s horses, all the king’s men couldn’t put me together again. ‘Cause all of my enemies started out friends.”

Chris’s own friends betrayed him and left him traumatized. It was sick.

Ashtray – Bigger Than the Whole Sky.

Ashtray was the youngest character, but also probably the most troubled. Living a life of crime before he even hit puberty was insane.

Taylor sings, “Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye. You were bigger than the whole sky. You were more than just a short time. And I’ve got a lot to pine about. I’ve got a lot to live without. I’m never gonna meet what could’ve been, would’ve been. What should’ve been you.”

Ashtray connects to these lyrics because his future never seemed to be something he was preparing for or looking forward to based on the dangerous lifestyle he was tapped into.
