Hyperbole in Country Music

The song "Today Was A Fairtale" by Taylor Swift is full of hyperboles. For example, "You've got a smile that takes me to another planet." Obviously, their love does not literally take them to another planet. The quote, "Time slows down whenever you're around" shows hyperbole because time doesn't actually slow down. Another example of hyperbole is "But can you feel this magic in the air?" There is not actual magic in the air. Another example is the title, "Today was a fairytale." The day was not actually a fairytale because life is reality not a fairytale.

  1. Thanks! This was really helpful for a lesson I was planning. I don't know much about country music, but I like to represent all kinds of music. Rebecca
