Jun Sato—LP5/Getty Images by [Alex Heigl / People](https://time.com/author/people/) ## Alex Heigl / People Contributor May 6, 2015 10:13 PM UTC If you’d like to extend [Taylor Swift’s](http://www.people.com/people/taylor%5Fswift) dominance to not only your eardrums and heartstrings but also to the electronic communications that make up a huge part of your daily life, boy do we have some news for you. [TayText is an app](https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/taytext/id983384629?mt=8) that lets you fill your texts with [Swift’s lyrics](http://www.people.com/article/taylor-swift-1989-tour-photos) via keyboard, much like you would with emojis or your phone’s predictive text function. It was inspired by [the Drizzy Keyboard](http://www.drizzyapp.com/), which does the same thing, just with Drake lyrics. TayText includes over 300 lyrics from 60-plus songs, allowing you to craft exchanges like the one pictured below. Thanks, Harvard Business School! (The app was created by five HBS students, [according to _Billboard_](http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/6554020/taylor-swift-taytext-texting-app).) Obviously, it works with Tinder, which is probably (translation: definitely) the best possible use one could have for this thing. **Update: The app is currently not available.** > [](https://twitter.com/TayText/status/596058017180811265) _This_ [_article_](http://www.people.com/article/taylor-swift-app-texts-lyrics) _originally appeared on_ [_People.com_](http://www.people.com)_._ ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3849486/taylor-swift-lyric-text-app/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3849486/taylor-swift-lyric-text-app/"},"headline":"You Can Now Fill Your Texts With Taylor Swift Lyrics","datePublished":"2015-05-06T22:13:21.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:19:30.340Z","description":"Finally, you can communicate exclusively in \"TayText\"","url":"https://time.com/3849486/taylor-swift-lyric-text-app/","keywords":["Newsfeed","celebrities","Technology","apps","Taylor Swift"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltddd799e5baea099f/6987eeb035ba6f7b52c0b3fc/472313978-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Alex Heigl / People"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltddd799e5baea099f/6987eeb035ba6f7b52c0b3fc/472313978-copy.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Taylor Swift performs during The 1989 World Tour in Tokyo, Japan on May 6, 2015.","caption":"Taylor Swift performs during The 1989 World Tour in Tokyo, Japan on May 6, 2015.","creditText":"Jun Sato—LP5/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3849486/taylor-swift-lyric-text-app/","name":"You Can Now Fill Your Texts With Taylor Swift Lyrics"}}]}] ```
