Taylor Swift, "The Best Day," *Fearless* (PVG songbook), Wise Publications, 2010
Editorial Note
The Wise Publications *Fearless* songbook prints the lyric to "The Best Day" as "You put your eyes on me in this moment. Now capture it, remember it," which — allowing for punctuation and lineation differences typical of how lyrics get reproduced — is the source of the circulating "In this moment now, capture it, remember it." The biography *Taylor Swift* by Alice Hudson (2022) also quotes the line and ties it directly to Swift's own remarks to The Guardian in 2012 about capturing moments "like taking a photograph," reinforcing that this is genuinely hers. The variant punctuation seen in aggregators and Pinterest-style posts is simply a lightly reworded version of a documented Swift lyric, not an invented or borrowed line. We found no credible competing author; the *Taylor Swift by the Book* reference merely places the sentiment within the broader carpe diem tradition rather than crediting anyone else. On the strength of the printed songbook lyric from "The Best Day," corroborated by Hudson's biography, we are marking this quotation as verified.
