Masterlist: Taylor Swift Acronyms & Abbreviations 

Swifties often shorten Taylor Swift’s song titles into acronyms, especially on social media. If you see something like “ICDIWABH” or “IKYWT”, that’s Swiftie language for a song title.

But what do those long strings of nonsensical letters mean? 

Here’s your complete guide to Taylor Swift abbreviations and acronyms, from A to Z. 

Cover image for Swiftly Sung Stories' page of Taylor Swift acronyms and abbreviations. A chalkboard displays the text "Taylor Swift Acronyms and Abbreviations, a to z", and a desk in front of the chalkboard displays a mirrorball globe, a candle, an open book, a pocket watch, a vase of flowers, and bronze scales of justice.
