Sabrina Carpenter – 'Please Please Please'

Tauruses can be walking contradictions, and those qualities are highlighted to perfection in Sabrina Carpenter's "Please Please Please." On the bubbly pop track, Sabrina reminds us she has the discretion to make good decisions, and yet she falls hard for a man who she's already convinced will embarrass her in the near future. The sign is known for their exquisite tastes and discernment, but they're also endlessly stubborn and can get attached to relationships they know are bad for them.

Adele – 'To Be Loved'

English singer-songwriter Adele is known for her powerhouse vocals and emotionally resonant storytelling, which come together beautifully on her 2021 song "To Be Loved." It's a song about the dedication, patience and sacrifice that it takes to build something real and care for the people you love the most. Despite all of the highs and lows life might throw at you, true connection makes it all worth it.

 

Janet Jackson – 'Made for Now'

While Taurus is best known for their focus and determination, the sign also has a reputation for their love of indulging the senses. They're all about experiences involving taste, touch, scent, sight and sound, and being present and living in the moment is extremely important to them. That also happens to be the theme of Janet Jackson's "Made for Now," featuring Daddy Yankee. Featuring an eclectic mix of sounds and influences, it's a celebration of movement, forgetting the past and future to live as mindfully in the now as possible.

 

Laufey – 'Magnolia'

Taurus is said to be governed by the planet Venus, which represents beauty, and the sign is also known for their love of aesthetics and pull toward lovely things. Laufey's "Magnolia" is a unique reflection on the beauty people hold—particularly the kind they might struggle to recognize within themselves. The lullaby-like track, which features Laufey on the cello, shows her yearning to be as lovely as the titular Magnolia.

 

Kehlani – 'The Way'

The loyalty of a Taurus in love is something to behold, and it's represented masterfully in Kehlani's "The Way" featuring Chance the Rapper. This sizzling R&B track tells the story of a solid and sturdy relationship told from two different perspectives. The adoration they and respect they have for each other is mutual, and they're both eager to do whatever it takes to prove it.

ROLE MODEL – 'Some Protector'

When Tuarus's traits of loyalty and stubbornness come together, it can have some pretty interesting results. We see them bubble to the surface in ROLE MODEL's "Some Protector," a country-tinged pop track about being stuck on an old flame, and always feeling a sense of duty and protection for them, even as you try to let them go.

 

Lainey Wilson – 'Things a Man Oughta Know'

Is there any song that depicts self-sufficiency quite like Lainey Wilson's "Things a Man Oughta Know"? Despite the title, this silky country tune is less about the things that actually make someone manly and more about stepping up to the plate, making the right decisions and knowing how to take care of yourself. These are all the types of skills Tauruses are eager to build from the time they're young, allowing them to carve out the type of life that's best for them.

 

Kelly Clarkson – 'Miss Independent'

On the flip side of Taurus's independent streak is their stubbornness when it comes to falling in love, as depicted in Kelly Clarkson's "Miss Independent." This powerful pop classic is all about a woman who could take care of herself and firmly believed she didn't need love, before the right person shows up and proves her wrong. Despite clinging to autonomy, she can't help but fall, hard.
