Woman Gets Taylor Swift Lyrics Tattoo, Then She Sees the Spelling
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. When Liz Corleone, 32, from Northwest Arkansas, planned a sentimental tattoo experience with her husband, she wasn't prepared for where it would end up. Corleone and her husband wanted tattoos in each other's handwriting, and opted for a lyric from Taylor Swift's sultry track "Guilty as Sin?" from The Tortured Poets Department. The lyric in question—"What if he's written 'mine' on my upper thigh?"—resonated with Corleone, and the idea was set. "We'd been thinking about getting tattoos in each other's handwriting for a bit," Corleone told Newsweek. "I know the song isn't necessarily about 'the one,' but that lyric felt cheeky and had a little sex appeal." Pictures from the viral video where the couple shared the "mine" tattoo idea.

In a now-viral video, viewers see the moment before the inking, with a stencil reading what was supposed to be "Mine" in cursive. But after the tattoo session, nestled under plastic wrap and denim, the finished tattoo seemed to spell something quite different: "Mime." "I didn't notice the cursive misspelling until I was driving away," Corleone said. "We were running late to dinner, got bandaged up, and hopped in the car. Then I looked at the video I took and thought, 'Does that say Mime?'" She wasn't alone. The internet quickly chimed in, with many viewers offering theories, jokes, and even font analysis. Some questioned whether it was an artist's misinterpretation, while others suggested ways to "fix" the inking. "Kind of iconic actually," said viewer Kaelidance. While Imalil_lost wrote: "To be fair an n in cursive looks like a m." "Cute but that doesn't look like the stencil I fear the tattoo artist owes u a fix," said Purplegardenlover.

"Do I think the artist intentionally messed it up? Absolutely not," she said. "They were great, we had awesome conversation. I just wish they followed the stencil a little more closely." Tattoos have risen in popularity over the decades, with The Pew Research Center finding, as of 2023, some 32 per cent of Americans have at least one tattoo, with 22 percent having more than one. And among 35-year-old Swift's generation—millennials—tattoo prevalence is even higher, with 46 percent of those aged 30 to 49 saying they have at least one tattoo. For Corleone, the error has instead turned into a point of humor for the couple. "I've got a great new nickname out of it," she laughed. "These things don't phase me. I've chuckled at myself countless times just thinking about the story." As the clip gained traction online, amassing nearly 4 million views since being shared at the end of May, Corleone's husband also chimed in, clarifying that he did, in fact, write "mine" in a comment that has over 15,000 likes. While it might not be the tattoo the couple planned, the result has become a fun and arguably more memorable moment for the pair. "Of course I couldn't plan for the misspelling, but I think life's funniest moments come from the unplanned," said Corleone. "After seeing the cursive, I was even more excited to share because I thought it might make other folks laugh, too—especially my fellow Swifties!" This isn't the first time a tattoo gone wrong has gained viral attention. Last week one millennial said she had "never regretted anything more" after having her eyebrows microbladed. While a dyslexic teen had a quote tattooed only to realize he had made a mistake in the spelling. Thankfully he saw the funny side, and so did the internet as it gained viral attention on Reddit.

Taylor Swift just rewore this initial necklace at the Super Bowl – shop these similar styles now
All eyes were on Taylor Swift as she arrived at the 2025 Super Bowl. Cheering on her boyfriend, the Kansas City Chief star Travis Kelce, as his team took on the Philadelphia Eagles, the singer was seen in a box alongside her mother, the Haim sisters and Ice Spice. For the sporting occasion, Swift wore a white blazer, tank top, sparkly denim shorts and tall white boots. But it was her choice of jewellery that stole the spotlight. Repurposing the initial 'T' charm that she wore as a thigh chain to the Grammys last week, the singer plumped for the bespoke piece again, this time choosing to wear it on a pendant chain for the Super Bowl. Swift's 'T' necklace is a Lorraine Schwartz piece, which was designed in collaboration with the jewellery brand ahead of the singer's red carpet appearance. Fans of the star have debated if she was referencing the Tortured Poets Department song, Guilty as Sin, with her Grammys look, which saw the ruby-jewelled pendant worn on a thigh chain and styled with a matching ruby red Vivienne Westwood dress. As for the hidden meaning behind Swift's Super Bowl look, some have said the 'T' on the necklace is in fact for Travis. In her 2017 song Call It What You Want, Swift sings: 'I want to wear his initial / on a chain 'round my neck, chain 'round my neck / Not because he owns me / But 'cause he really knows me.' Whether it's in homage to herself or her boyfriend, Swift's jewellery choice nods to the timeless appeal of personalised pieces – think Carrie Bradshaw's signature necklace or Kate Middleton's monogrammed pieces. So, whether you're channeling Swift at the Super Bowl and Grammys or searching for an Eleventh-hour Valentine's Day gift, these are the initial pieces to shop from Missoma, Astrid & Miyu and more. Missoma's bestselling molten initial pendant is a contemporary twist on the classic jewellery style. The delicate gold chain is complete with your choice of letter in a bespoke hand-drawn font. Designed with 18 carat gold plated vermeil on recycled sterling silver, the adjustable chain lends it to layering and stacking with other pieces. Mejuri's initial necklace has a vintage feel thanks to the accordion pattern. Handcrafted from 18 carat gold vermeil, each pendant comes with a 20-22in dainty gold chain. The generous size of the charm makes it a real statement piece, à la Swift's style. This bold style from Astrid & Miyu is available in 18 carat gold plated recycled sterling silver or rhodium plated recycled sterling silver. The large charm contrasts the delicate chain, with the letter characterised by its fluid, unique shape.
