We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together Quotes

Context

This line is from the song "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" by Taylor Swift, from the album Red (2012).

You probably don't need us to interpret this lyric from Taylor's first single to hit #1 on the non-country Billboard Chart. It's not like the line is exactly cryptic, right?

She was with some dude who, as another famous line in the song tells us, was kind of a snobby hipster, and now that they've broken up they are never ever getting back together...like ever.

But we are kind of getting mixed signals from the music video. Taylor, if you're anti-hipster, why are you wearing classically hipster glasses and having your band dance in hipster animal costumes? Is this all part of the joke?

Oh, the mysteries of Taylor Swift.

Where you've heard it

It could be that you saw these Taylor lyrics used as the title of an episode of Grey's Anatomy, in which the doctors operate on twins that are joined at the head. Get it? Conjoined twins? Never ever getting back… Yeah, you get it. Let's you hope you also heard it when Samuel L. Jackson gave us his powerful rendition of these lines.

Pretentious Factor

If you were to drop this quote at a dinner party, would you get an in-unison "awww" or would everyone roll their eyes and never invite you back? Here it is, on a scale of 1-10.

Straight talk is never pretentious.
