Putting this here because I was not sure if this was posted elsewhere / something someone has been working on.

As we know, our songwriting queen is incredible at providing vivid detailing and storytelling into her songs—all while still making the songs incredibly relatable for her friends. Due to storytelling, I feel like a lot of things can be put in a chronological order.

Has/does anyone have a list of all/most of Taylor’s songs in a semi-chronological order by writing/production date? This could be based on her own interviews/production details from others—or just where the narrative is rumored to take place in her life.

I would love to begin to listen to her discography from a perspective of being one continuous story as/if possible.

Please remove if this is too niche of a post.

I've been seeing some posts recently about people forgetting what songs were singles or assuming certain songs were singles but in reality weren't so I decided to make a list of every single, Taylor has released/written/performed.

In case people don't know what a single is, a single is a song released to radio for promotion of a project. Not all singles get music videos and singles still continue to be released even after the album's been out for a while.

There are two types of singles, lead singles and promotional singles.

Lead single - costs money to purchase and is usually the singles people remember (example - Love Story)

Promotional single - released for free to promote the album/project (example - Change)
