Taylor Swift eras as birth control: From Debut to Showgirl

From cowboy boots to showgirl sparkle, each of Taylor Swift’s eras continues to prove that she’s always in charge of telling her own story.

With The Life of a Showgirl finally here, we’re taking a page from her playbook and matching every album with the method we think best fits the vibe… because (1) literally everything reminds us of birth control and (2) owning your eras + sexual health go hand in hand.

Taylor Swift (Debut) – Condoms

The OG era calls for the OG method. Reliable, accessible, and often the first stop on many of our birth control journeys. Condoms bring dependable protection for your sexual debut and beyond.

Fearless – IUDs or The Implant

🎵 Going in headfirst, fearless. 🎶 These long-acting methods sometimes require guts (hello, insertion pain!), but the reward is years of reliable, worry-free protection. No upkeep needed for the IUD or the implant.

Speak Now – The Pull-Out Method

Relying on withdrawal requires timing, trust, and a lot of communication—because sometimes saying what you mean (and doing it right on time) makes all the difference.

Red – Emergency Contraception

For those burning hot nights where passion takes the spotlight, emergency contraception is the reliable backup you can trust. It’s a great option when things get extra spicy and you need to stay covered.

1989 – Diaphragm

Old-school protection that’s still got it. The diaphragm is a classic method that’s been around forever, offering a barrier you can use on your terms. It might be a little retro, but it 🎵 never goes out of style. 🎶

Reputation – The Pill

🎵 We know you’ve heard about this one. 🎶 Recognizable, reliable, and revered. The daily birth control pill has been a go-to method for decades. It’s well-known, trusted, and puts you in charge of your cycle.

Lover – Sterilization

Forever vibes. For those who are happily child-free or happy with the number they have, sterilization is the ultimate long-term commitment.

folklore – Fertility Awareness

Fertility awareness is all about tuning into your body’s natural rhythms. It’s low-tech but high-awareness and great for those tuned into the subtle signs.

evermore – Internal Condom

Underrated but powerful. The internal condom puts control in your hands, letting you take charge on your own terms.

Midnights – The Ring

The ring works in monthly loops, fitting right in with late-night vibes and new beginnings. 🎵 It’s me, hi — I’ve got you covered all month. 🎶

The Tortured Poets Department – The Shot

One dose every three months keeps things steady and you worry-free. No daily reminders required. The shot is perfect for the long, messy chapters when you’re feeling like a tortured poet yourself.

The Life of a Showgirl – The Patch

A method that loves to be center stage. The patch makes a statement while also quietly doing the work behind the scenes, week after week. Stick it, strut it, own it.
