15+ Fan-Favorite Nicknames for Taylor Swift
Blondie
Taylor's hair could also be said to fall "into place like dominoes," but one thing's for sure—it inspired this popular nickname.

T.Swizzle
Introduced as "T-Swizzle" (and "T-Pizzle") by T-Pain in the 2009 parody track they did together called "Thug Story" for the CMT Awards, Taylor also referred to herself as "T-Sweezy" during the song.
Fans continue to call her T-Swizzle even to this day.
Do y’all remember when Taylor Swift did Safe & Sound for The Hunger Games? That’s what Carolina reminds me of now.
I love Taylor doing songs for dramatic films. I think it’s among my favorite genre of T Swizzle tbh. #WhereTheCrawdadsSing— Not Quin (@MashtonLostGirl) December 10, 2022
Director Taylor Swift
This one's newer, but we definitely think it'll stick.

Becky
Back in 2014, a Tumblr meme went around with an older photo of Swift next to a caption from someone claiming that their friend "Becky" died instantly from marijuana use, with someone else responding "pretty sure that's Taylor Swift," and receiving the reply back, "no its becky." Taylor later stepped out in a "no its becky" shirt.
T-Swift
This nickname for Taylor Swift has been used for what seems like forever!
Nils Sjöberg
Before there was Joe Alwyn's "William Bowery" pseudonym, there was "Nils Sjöberg"—used by Taylor Swift when she wrote "This Is What You Came For" for Calvin Harris and Rihanna.
No but imagine you say Nils Sjöberg and you have this really deep artistic conversation using all of film twitters buzz words and you basically make it seem like they’re underground indie… and when the film bro looks them up, it’s taylor swift pic.twitter.com/CIGlJzkNuD

Taylor Smith
On the ACM red carpet in 2012, a reporter referred to our girl as "Taylor Smith."
It's something fans continue to think about and joke about to this day.
That one interview where she calls Taylor, Taylor Smith has me in a Choke hold, its so funny.

Miss Americana
This Taylor Swift nickname became popular after her 2020 Netflix documentary of the same name.
Thir-Tay
Okay, this one was just used by Taylor's BFF Abigail Anderson Berard in 2019 while celebrating Tay's birthday. But we'll continue using it for all of her birthdays in this decade. After all, she'll be turning Thir-Tay-Five this year!
Teffy
Taylor's brother, Austin Swift, calls the singer "Teffy."
Wow wow wow wow. Ryan Adams and Teffy, This is one of the better things that exists. https://t.co/Gl7lQWpOg4

Dr. Swift
In May 2022, Taylor Swift was awarded an honorary doctorate of fine arts from New York University, where she first gave us a surprise Easter egg with a "Labyrinth" lyric off of Midnights, followed by the comment, "And I am a doctor now, so I know how breathing works." Fans were quick to call her by this new title.
Wise words from Dr. Swift (: pic.twitter.com/28r5U3RhXc

Dead Tooth
"You call me 'Dead Tooth' more than you call me Taylor," Swift said to her friend and collaborator, Jack Antonoff, in a 2014 MTV interview. All thanks to chipping her tooth on a microphone.

Cat Lady
Can't forget this big one that she has no problem owning. We all remember the lyric, "Guess I'll just stumble on home to my cats" from "Gorgeous."
Cat lady ?
