Abstrak
Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis penggunaan majas (figurative language) dalam tiga lagu Taylor Swift dari album Evermore, yaitu “Willow,” “Champagne Problems,” dan “Gold Rush.” Metode yang digunakan adalah metode deskriptif kualitatif untuk mengidentifikasi jenis-jenis majas serta menafsirkan makna tersembunyi di dalamnya. Teori dari Perrine, yang mencakup simile, metafora, personifikasi, hiperbola, dan ironi, digunakan sebagai acuan dalam analisis. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa metafora dan personifikasi merupakan jenis majas yang paling sering digunakan, yang mencerminkan preferensi Taylor Swift terhadap perbandingan implisit yang mendalam dan ekspresi emosional. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa lirik lagu memiliki nilai artistik dan dapat dianggap sebagai karya sastra modern yang layak untuk dianalisis secara akademik.
