A good Instagram post is never complete without a fire caption. Like your picture, your Instagram caption tells a story about your life, or at least that one particular moment. Whether you’re feeling uber self-confident, trying to shade an ex, calling out your haters, or just living it up with your BFFs, these song lyrics by some of your favorite artists from 2018 will certainly elevate your pic. 

Check out a few of today’s top singers and their best Instagrammable lyrics: 

No one can escape the phenomenon that is Cardi B. Her chart-topping songs and catchy lyrics are a fan favorite, and certainly we can’t get enough of this ballsy rapper. With so many iconic lines in her armory, it’s hard for us to pick just three lines that are the most Instagram worthy, but here’s what we came up with. Whether you’re trying to get back at your ex, or secretly sending a “Hey, look at me,” message to your crush, these captions won’t disappoint.

Album after album, Drake continues to be one of the most successful rapper in the industry, especially when it comes to earworm lyrics. To help us pick three, we’ve narrowed our search to just Instagramable lyrics off of his latest album, Scorpion. Check out our list of three below:

Similar to Drake, each of Taylor’s albums contain Instagram worthy lyrics, so we’ll just stick with her latest release, Reputation. Here are three lyrics that should, or honestly probably are, already on your Instagram that you used as a caption.

And girl, we really relate! Check out three lyrics from her latest album, Sweetner, that we felt were totally relatable and Instagramable.
