From the results, through the sentences chosen by the researcher, the researcher found that the largest number of the sentence pattern in Taylor Swift’s song lyrics is in pattern 3: S + Vt + dO which is used for 5 times. Finally, there are three patterns which are not used at all, which are pattern 1: S + LV + A, pattern 6: S + Vt + iO + dO, and pattern 7: S + Vi.
