I think Rita Ora is a prime example of this. She's a former Roc Nation artist and had Jay-Z's backing when they were launching her as a recording artist over a decade ago.

She's had spouts of success at different points of her career but she's inconsistent and never became the big star that she was hyped up to be in 2012.

Who else do you think never delivered to their hype in terms of stardom and success?

Given the recent flood of new lyrics straight from The Tortured Poets Department, I thought it would be interesting to see how common it is for Taylor’s songs to contain a unique word: one that doesn’t appear anywhere else in her discography. For example, “wonderstruck” is unique to Enchanted. After collecting and analysing the lyrics to all* of her songs, I was surprised to find that the vast, vast majority of them (230 out of 234 total songs) do in fact contain unique words! I thought you lovely folks might be interested in these stats as well.

As of now, there are only four songs that do not contain any unique words:

• Come In With The Rain

• Don’t You

• If This Was A Movie

• How You Get The Girl

Every single song contained at least one unique word up until 1989 was released. Come In With The Rain was the first song to be knocked out thanks to Clean containing the word “screamed”. If you don’t include deluxe or vault tracks, then in fact every song had a unique word all the way up until the release of TTPD: How You Get The Girl only got knocked out by the “six” in The Bolter.

The songs that currently have only one unique word remaining are as follows:

On the other end of the spectrum, there is a two-way tie for the highest number of unique words in a song (38):

Taylor’s songs contain 11 unique words on average. Some of them are surprisingly really common words - “brown”, “cute”, “hers”, “Friday”, “hasn’t” all appear in only a single song each (see if you can tell which ones!)

If you’d like to look through the full results yourself, the unique words for each song are all listed in . Hope you enjoy!

*This data only counts the songs that appear on the main official album releases, including deluxe versions and vault tracks, but not remixes. Hunting down the lyrics to every one-off song or unreleased track would unfortunately take too much time to do properly. Some lyrics are taken from Genius, some from AZLyrics.
