"TayText's" Chief Financial Officer Kate Aitken said that, "Taylor Swift has far more intergenerational appeal than Drake, and she's become a full-fledged pop culture icon. Whether you love her or hate her, you can't ignore her. And there's a zeitgeist quality to her music - she's really captured what it feels like to be young and living in this decade, so there's pretty much a Taylor Swift lyric for everything."

The app boasts of 11 themes, and depending on the situation, one can be chosen. The diverse 11 themes include - Haters, Just Beginning, Over You, Into You, Missing You, Preach, It's Over, Party On, Growing Up, Random and Trouble.

The app is inspired from another lyrics-based app - "Drizzy" - which let users respond to text messages with lyrics of Drake songs. It was a superhit on its launch and was downloaded more than 100,000 times in just over four days.

The singer is not going through a good phase in her personal life as her mother was recently diagnosed with cancer. The gorgeous singer had gifted her mother a medical checkup package as a gift and it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The cancer was detected during the medical checkup. It is said that if it was not detected in time, then it would have had shown up later during the last stages when a full recovery is highly impossible.
