How do the characters of Sex and the City relate to all of these incredible Taylor Swift songs?

It turns out that the characters of the show are more closely related to Taylor’s lyrics than one might assume. Here’s the breakdown.

Carrie – I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.

One thing we know about Carrie in Sex and the City is that she functioned most of her life with a broken heart.

The words written into her weekly columns are proof enough that she was on the roller coaster of love and loss for most of her 30s.

Taylor sings, “I’m so depressed, I act like it’s my birthday every day. I’m so obsessed with him but he avoids me like the plague. I cry a lot but I am so productive, it’s an art. You know you’re good when you can even do it with a broken heart.”

Carrie maintained productivity for the most part as a writer, even when she was hurting.

Miranda – Cardigan.

Miranda felt like men were trash and she often hinted that she wasn’t going to find a man who was mature enough or up to her standard.

Taylor sings, “‘Cause I knew you, steppin’ on the last train, marked me like a bloodstain. I knew you tried to change the ending, Peter losing Wendy, I knew you. Leavin’ like a father. Running like water.”

These lyrics from “Cardigan” describe a lot of Miranda’s romantic connections with men who constantly disappoint her. Even her baby-daddy-turned-husband, Steve.

Charlotte – Wildest Dreams.

Charlotte was determined to live a life of love. It was her wildest dream from when she was young.

The episode when Charlotte dragged Carrie with her to a manifestation seminar speaks volumes about Charlotte and her wildest dream of falling in love.

Taylor sings, “Say you’ll remember me. Standing in a nice dress staring at the sunset, babe. Red lips and rosy cheeks. Say you’ll see me again. Even if it’s just in your wildest dreams.”

These lyrics describe Charlotte’s openness to love and her desire to hold onto love with the right person once she finds it.

Samantha – Ready For It?

Samantha is all about sexual liberation and freedom. She’s all about indulging in sexual fantasies and fulfilling her physical desires.

Taylor sings, “In the middle of the night, in my dreams, you should see the things we do, baby, mmm. In the middle of the night, in my dreams. I know I’m gonna be with you, so I take my time. Are you ready for it?”

These lyrics are beyond fitting for Samantha and her never-ending sexual urges.

Big – I Knew You Were Trouble.

Big was BIG trouble for Carrie, from the moment they met through the end. He never really saw her value, nor did he ever treat her with real respect or love.

Taylor sings, “He’s long gone. When he’s next to me. And I realize. The blame is on me.”

These lyrics describe Big, who was always emotionally unavailable.

Later, Taylor sings, “And the saddest fear comes creepin’ in. That you never loved me. Or her. Or anyone. Or anything.”

Big is a troubled man with commitment issues and a serious lack of emotional maturity. Did he ever love Carrie? Did he ever love Natasha? Who knows.

Aidan – Back to December.

Aidan deserves the biggest apology from Carrie after she cheated on him with Big. She was sleazy for doing that and Aida didn’t deserve it.

Taylor sings, “So this is me swallowin’ my pride standin’ in front of you sayin’ I’m sorry for that night. And I go back to December all the time. It turns out freedom ain’t nothin’ but missin’ you. Wishin’ I’d realized what I had when you were mine. I’d go back to December, turn around, and change my own mind. I go back to December all the time.”

Carrie could have had a fairytale ending with Aidan. Instead, she blew it all for the comfortable toxicity of Big and his chaos.

An apology like the one from “Back to December” is the least she could do.

Natasha – White Horse.

Natasha also ended up as collateral damage when Big and Carrie started their affair. Big was supposed to be honoring his marriage to Natasha, but he was never an honorable man.

Taylor sings, “I’m not a princess, this ain’t a fairy tale. I’m not the one you’ll sweep off her feet, lead her up the stairwell.”

She continues, “I was a dreamer before you went and let me down. Now it’s too late for you and your white horse to come around.”

Natasha was young and naive when she married Big, and he let her down BIG time. But she had enough self-worth to recognize her value, and she ended up divorcing him. When Taylor says “It’s too late for you and your white horse to come around,” Natasha’s strength comes to mind.
