No this is really hard 😭 okay no specific order just how I recall them tbh

  • out of the woods: the bridge is one of her best and it really captures that feeling of anxiety very well

  • my tears ricochet: so beautifully written and it is also very well thought out sonically. It never fails to hit me where it hurts

  • blank space: NEVER GETS OLDDD vocally beautiful and simple so I can sing it whenever I want to and it is just iconic

  • the 1: IT SLAPS SO MUCH OMG nothing can bring words to how much I love the 1. It's so 'the one that got away' but also 'what about me and you?' so it just hits

  • right where you left me: beautifully written and so catchy. Sonically it's beautiful and whenever Taylor sings it, it sounds beautiful. Really closey explains how being frozen in time and in a moment just hurts so much.

HONORBALE MENTIONS: but daddy I love him, red, state of grace, betty, wonderland, style, new romantics, clean, maroon, haunted, would've, could've, should've, hits different, dear reader

#

That's all I could think of straight off the top of my head

#

I wanted to include The Great War but it's too good to be in the honourables and deserves to be on the list I just don't know which I'd swap out

#

Wait also a large portion of debut I love so much

#

No this is too hard

  1. tolerate it - this song was the song i held closest to me during my first break up. it resonates to me and even helped me move on A LOT. we both started out really healthy, we were very open with each other, its like we had everything in our hands. i fell in love with him so much (especially considering he was my first real love) then as months passed by, we often fought over stupid things,he even broke up multiple times, then we come back running into each other again again until we ended things for good. during our relationship, i was so deep in love with him to the point where i was ignoring every red flag. i held on to the delusion that we were a perfect couple and that everything was okay, but deep down it really wasnt and everything he did was just the bare minimum. i was too blinded by love. we were long gone and that brutal truth hit me like a train. but still, i ignored every sign. i still had hope that everyday, when i wake up, he would love me like im the first person he has ever met. everything i gave, he gave back lesser. i gave him all my love in me, but instead of being loved everyday like it was our first, he instead tolerated it. and for multiple times, while all that was going on, i just sit and watched him

  2. daylight - i listened to this song everyday when me and my boyfriend became together. everyday with him feels like heaven. it sounds cliche, but he changed my perception of love. he made me realize that communication is the key to everything. he healed me from my leftover wounds from the past and completely changed the way i love. i used to be filled with envy, jealousy, hatred, pride- now im not. he's the nicest guy in the world and even though i'm not, i think we are perfect for each other. he has always been with me during my lowest point in my life, reminded me everyday that i am worth loving. something the past never instilled on me. i'm very grateful to have him with me and i cant look at anything else now that hes by my side; and this song reminds me of him so much.

  3. message in a bottle - this is the song i played before me and my boyfriend started dating! i was so in love back then and i still am. the song completely captured how falling in love feels like.

  4. i can do it with a broken heart - this song helped me through my previous school year! i was really stressed out, i was heartbroken, everyone felt like they hated me, i was filled with school works, alongside my family problems, and the death of my grandfather. but yet here i am, i came out being on top of my class, and still alive and thriving despite the depression i went through during that phase. i can do it with a broken heart even though i thought i couldnt!!!

  5. you're on your own kid - this song is very personal to me. its the only song EVER in taylors discography to make me cry so much. being alone is not scary - you have always been on your own and you only need yourself to overcome the challenges you will face in life. it also made me appreciate more of what i have today and came to a realization that i will always be my greatest home town. i hate to say it.. but its my favorite track 5 ever!!:)

honorable mention: all too well 10 minutes- this song is actually taylors most well written song in her discography. its a great song, has a great bridge, and has a great outro. it is my break up song, and will always have a special place in my heart. i havent related to any lyrics yet -- but it captures the feeling of being heartbroken. also, did i mention the outro is very... serene. it feels very heavenly. its the perfect album closer and could sum up the whole red album; taylor's hauntingly beautiful magnum opus.

#

it was either the black dog or all too well, tbh

#

both are beautiful songs

I don't really have a lot of songs that I hold in my heart, but one particular song that will be my favorite forever and always is Delicate. I really don't know why, but it gives me a rush of nostalgia that I absolutely love everytime I hear it. The lyrics, instrumentals, vocalizations, EVERYTHING about it is so ethereal and I love it for that. Delicate is my baby 💯

The Archer - I love The Archer because even if you don’t know/relate to what Taylor meant the song to be, you can still relate to it. When she says “Combat, I’m ready for combat” I interpret this as you have to get ready everyday to just deal with stuff. Also “Cause cruelty, wins in the movies” I feel like this means that even if you want to have good intentions there will always be some bad/evil. “I’ve got a hundred thrown out speeches I almost said to you” you always think about everything you can say but don’t know what to say. Skipping forward a bit to the “They see right through me” sequence or whatever I feel like I can relate to that a bit because I feel a bit invisible to people at times but as Taylor says at the end of the song, you just have to be ready for combat because that’s what life throws at you. And the background apart from vocals just make it so surreal because it’s like echoing and just becomes loud.

#

Labyrinth - This song just tickles my brain, it feels like you’re just exploring the labyrinth of your mind. Whenever you’re going through tough times, just “Breathe in, breathe through, breathe deep, breathe out”. Another like is “Never trust if it rises fast” you need to pace yourself and learn what you’re comfortable with. “You know how much I hate that everybody just expects me to bounce back” I feel like this is a perfect example of how people just expect someone to bounce right back from something that might’ve damaged them. Also the instrumentals for this song and the background vocals really add to the song, they’re the other half. The random escalating sounds like sirens makes it feel like you’re running through your mind trying to escape and sirens are going off which adds to the panic.

#

Snow On The Beach (feat. More Lana Del Ray) - Snow On The Beach isn’t as relatable as the others but paints one of the most surreal pictures in my mind. I just imagine being at Taylor’s Rhode Island house but down by the beach, and once she starts saying “Like snow on the beach” I just imagine little snow falling all around you and you just look up at the sky/distance. Then Lana’s part “I searched ‘aurora borealis green’” I just imagine an actual aurora zipping through the night sky while it’s snowing and you just walk on the beach while it’s snowing and an aurora is above you.

#

You Are In Love - Augh no words can describe this song, it will be played at my wedding. The beginning of the song with the instruments of what sounds like camera shutters, I just imagine a music video and it’s a bunch of Polaroids appearing on screen of a couple having moments together. They’re walking on the beach together at the sunset, driving back home in the middle of tall towering forests/woods. The song quite literally embodies true love. One of my favorite lines from this is “You two are dancing in a Snowglobe round and round” just oh my godddd she ATE, no crumbs left, it reminds of me of Snow On The Beach. Then the bridge where she’s talking in a low voice and then goes into the “You can hear it in the silence (silence), silence (silence), you” the echoing and then the note hold on the youuuuu. UGH again this song embodies what true love is.

So Long, London - And now for the complete switch around. Right away Taylor just starts off with “So (so) Long (long), Lon, don (done, done)”, Taylor knew what the fuck she was doing making this sound like church bells, and especially when she says the “done done” basically saying I’m done with London and this relationship. Then the like steady drum or almost heart beat sound eats up. “I saw in my mind fairy lights through the mist” she still wanted a bright and happy ending even after all the rough moments. “My spine split from carrying us up the hill” UGH she literally said I’m the one holding this relationship up and carrying all the stress and you too. “I stopped CPR after all it’s no use / The spirit was gone, we would never come to / And I’m pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free” Taylor was done trying to revive the relationship, it was already far gone and it would never be the same, they just needed to let it rest. She’s angry that even after all she tried to do for the relationship, nothing was ever appreciated and it went to waste. “For so long, London / Stitches undone / Two graves, one gun / I’ll find someone…” she said I’m leaving, everything I’ve done to repair/hold the relationship together is undone. She also just says that one of them will have to basically hurt the other by leaving them and I think it means that Taylor had to hurt the other and basically buried them and then found someone else. I could literally go on and on about the lines in between the previous line and the next one.

#

“You swore that you loved me but where were the clues? / I died on the altar waiting for the proof” THE RING, she really wanted to get married, she had a full future planned. This line always gets me because I just imagine her standing up on the altar waiting for the groom but he just doesn’t come there and she starts to get that choked up feeling and starting to cry. “And I’m just getting color back into my face / I’m just mad as hell cause I’ve loved this place” she’s finally freeing herself of the relationship/stress which is allowing herself to gain color and life again but it also pisses her off because she mad so many unbelievably treasured memories for so many years and now she has to dump it out the window, but she can’t forget it and the place will never be the same again. “A moment of warm sun” she’s finally getting a moment of fresh air and being able to breathe. Also all the backing vocals of this song just really add to atmosphere.

#

I could go on endlessly for these songs, this was the bare minimum and I wish I could describe every picture I see during the song but it’s hard to describe it. I also want to do an honorable mention for You’re On Your Own, Kid 🙂

  1. happiness - it’s a song about acceptance, which isnt a common trope in taylor’s breaku discography. my all time fav taylor song.
  2. last kiss - such a vulnerable piece, and it’s also about a relationship she blames herself for ending. which is also uncommon since she’s usually unapologetic about that stuff.
  3. all too well 10 minutes - objectively her best song, i would write a ten minute song about jake gyllenhaal too 🤭. the wordplay along with her very descriptive heartbreak should earn it a spot in everyone’s top 5.
  4. cowboy like me - evermore’s my fav TS album, ahd i think her songwriting is less cliche when her songs revolve around a concept. the entire con artist subplot is special.
  5. the lakes - a poetic song, the tranquil scenery and yearing for an escape resonantes with me a ton since i also feel like my life is restraining me sometimes and it’s likr i have no control over it.

these diva ass songs

The lakes - this is really the song that got me into Taylor’s slower discography. I remember playing it on vinyl and just listening to it on repeat
Dorothea- SO UNDERATED I love how it the narrative of a friend watching someone become famous. I bet Taylor was thinking of all of her old friends she had before she was famous and wondering do they think of Taylor swift as a mega pop star, or just a girl who they knew from high school. I think it’s an interesting take on fame
Fifteen- i played a piano rendition of this at my graduation, and a friend sang along. It was the perfect song for the moment, and I still love it tsmwel- the bridge.
Ivy- beautifully written, I could listen to it for hours

#

The one- as soon as I hear the two first piano chords, I know I’m about to listen to a masterpiece.

  1. this is me trying - got me through alot and is able to perfectly describe how i feel since i find it difficult to express such thoughts
  2. exile - the harmonisation between bon iver and taylor in this song is one of my favourite things ever and seeing the crowd interact with this song on the eras tour only increased my love for this song (makes me envious i cant experience singing exile with her 😭 )
  3. cruel summer but specifically the live from the eras tour version - my way of reliving my eras tour memories since it was the best night of my life ever
  4. daylight - was my surprise song at my eras tour show so immediately moved up my taylor song rankings, it was magical to experience this song live
  5. wildest dreams - my fav off of my fav album altho i do love the instrumental more than the og version

  1. ATWTMV: i love this song so much because it has such powerful lyrics that are so relatable
  2. Timeless: This song is so good! But also i became obsessed with it when i was dating my boyfriend. At the time, he was going to move away soon and the lyrics "you still would've been mine, we would have been timeless" was really relatable at the time, turns out he has a crush on my best friend like our whole relationship. But he is gone now so i try not to be sad abt it ❤️
  3. Mr Perfectly Fine: I felt this whole song after another bf of mine broke up with me, I not only lost my bf, i lot my best guy friend at the time and i was really sad and i felt this song so much
  4. Its nice to have a friend: This song will always be special to me bc it is my friends fav song from her, she turned out to be one of my best friends but she moved 😭
  5. Our song: I love this song because whenever I felt sad or had something on my mind that made me upset, i would play this song, sing along and i would feel better, Taylor's songs often help with me with getting this off my mind thats why i love her so much. taylove

Illicit affairs - beautiful sounding and love the lyrics

Right where you left me - played when I found out my ex flew to a different country to meet someone so relatable. I feel exactly how she does when she says I could feel the mascara run when you told me that you met someone

Exile - bon Iver is a fantastic guest and just once again relatable. The line I've seen this film before and I didn't like the ending is so good

Nothing new - my other main girl pheobe is on this and again the lyrics are just awesome.

Cruel summer - got popular again when I saw my ex for the last time in person and it was July. And the part where on the studio track she says and he looks up grinning like the devil gives me chills Everytime.

**1. Better Man | **

I grew up listening to country and I also listened to little big town through a lot of my life. Taylor covering this song means everything to me.

2. Mary’s song. |

There is something about this song, the evolution of once being “jus two kids you and I” and then going to “I’ll be 87 you’ll be 89”.

*3. *Starlight **

Such a happy flowy song I love just rocking out to the “have 10 kids and teach em how to dream”

4. Run (George Strait Cover)

I already love this song and hold it very close to me. my favorite lyric is “ if there’s a plane or a bus leaving Dallas, I hope you’re on it” just reminds me of people I’ll always miss who will be in the back of my mind.

5. Teardrops on My Guitar:

When I was younger my old neighbor showed me this song the day it came out when we went walking she pulled out her iPod and showed me this song called teardrops on my guitar. I’d get home from school and play that song and crazier from the Hannah Montanna soundtrack and I’d spin around in the office chair laughing.
