Suburban Legends (song)

"Suburban Legends"^[a] is a song by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, who wrote and produced it with Jack Antonoff. The track was originally intended for her 2014 studio album, 1989, but was included in the 2023 re-recording, 1989 (Taylor's Version). A midtempo synth-pop ballad, "Suburban Legends" features 1980s-inspired synthesizers, a disco groove, and a gentle pulse. The lyrics contain imagery of fantasy and nostalgia: Swift's character reflects on a failed small-town romance and details the thrilling parts of the relationship and its dissolution.

Critics discussed "Suburban Legends" with its similarity to Swift's album Midnights (2022) and her other works. Many praised the songwriting and production while some others found the song lacking and derivative. Commercially, "Suburban Legends" peaked at number 10 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 14 on the Billboard Global 200. It reached the top 10 in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, and further charted in several countries. Swift performed the song during a Rio de Janeiro show as part of her Eras Tour (2023–2024).
