You can pick any of her songs! I just want to know your top 10 favorite from her? For me mine would be.
Cardigan
Getaway Car
Out Of The Woods
Now That We Don't Talk
Timeless
All Too Well (10 Min Version)
Paper Rings
Death By A Thousand Cuts
Midnight Rain
I Can Do It With A Broken Heart
This was a lot more harder than I thought it would be 😅 but had fun with it!
So not your personal favourite but what you think are objectively her best songs.
If I had a top 3 I would have to give Blank Space a spot. WCS is definitely one of her best tracks, along with Cruel Summer

I know it’s super hard but I still think all of us have a number of songs we’ve been obsessed with. The ones we go back to over and over again….
I’ll start:
All too well- nothing can ever top this song. How she writes it like a story from beginning to end, while describing the reasons they’ve broken up and really describing everything so openly, is so detailed and complex and amazing. Plus the production is addictive and you feel it in your bones.
Daylight- I loveeeeeee those dreamy, ethereal synths and her beautiful vocals. Nobody talks about how she’s evolved vocally. I listen to this 1 hour in a row without getting tired of it.
You’re on your own kid-I’ve been single for my whole life, so I don’t have any romantic experience. So when Taylor writes about being excluded, alone, betrayed and backstabbed by friends- I totally relate. And the music is just phenomenal.
Tis the damn season- perfect melodies, perfect instruments, perfect lyrics and metaphors. It’s so wintry and yearning I’m obsessed.
Maroon or question I don’t know what to choose! Midnights is honestly one of her best ever albums. (But Red is number one, evermore number 2 for me)
Honorable mentions: style, death by a thousand cuts, dancing with our hands tied (it was my top 3 of Taylor when it came out), this is me trying, call it what you want, right where you left me, ivy, cruel summer
I asked this question before Midnights came out and I would like to ask it again now that we are a month past. I am really curious to see how much the lists have changed!
Here was the prior question post — https://www.reddit.com/r/TaylorSwift/comments/xz62lj/top_10_taylor_songs_with_their_album_and_your/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf and the results! — https://www.reddit.com/r/TaylorSwift/comments/y38naz/after_some_extensive_research_i_have_determined/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=iossmf
What do you think Taylor’s all time best songs are? And not just your favorite but what is objectively her best song by talent display, general appeal, ect.
I think All Too Well is one of them, a lot of people I know that aren’t swifties really connect to it, it’s a great example of her beautiful and creative writing abilities, and her voice.
I also think a lot of folklore really shines a light on what she’s best at.
Reading through comments and I agree with almost everyone with every song, it’s too hard. She has so much talent that shines in so many ways in different eras and songs. I think I saw alot of all too well, yoyok, ivy, long live. Definitely some of the fans all time favorites. I’d also add that she has such a diverse discography that it’s hard to choose out of rock, folk, pop, Indy ect she has greatness in all categories.
not necessarily your favorite, but the one that you think is truly the best on her discography.
for me, it’s tolerate it. it’s on my top 13 taylor songs but isn’t my absolute favorite, but i truly think it is her BEST song. the lyricism, the simple instrumentals, the use of 5/4. amazing
REMEMBER, we are amongst fellow fans!! Let’s not scrap.
That being said…. I propose “My Tears Richochet”, “The Albatross”, “Hey Stephen”, “Maroon”, “Blank Space”, and more to be among her best, imo. My controversial opinion is that I think a couple songs on TTPD are a bit overwritten. Any and all good faith arguments against this are welcome. 💖
Basically what the title says. I'm thinking of making a playlist with lots of favorites that also includes others besides the usual ones like Blank Space and Love Story, which are also absolutely amazing. I absolutely love how collaborative Swifties are so I can't wait to see all of your opinions soon! 🤩
Recently came across this article from Rolling Stone and decided to create the list into a slide show for Reddit!
The article can be found here and it was written by Rob Sheffield.
Personal take: starting off the list with “Bad Blood” was a HUGE swing and caught my attention. I wasn’t surprised with #1 but pleasantly surprised to see “Clean” high up in the ranks.

The most upvoted comment will have their song added onto the playlist.
I know this is just a tiny fraction of Reddit users here (and an even tinier fraction of Taylor’s fans), but a month has gone, so, as promised, here are the full results of the poll.
We had a total of up to 140 voters.
I’ve attached a “snapshot” look at the average scores of the 9 “Taylor-owned” albums so far, along with a Top 10 list.
Here are the results segregated per album, along with some “fun side comparisons”:

And here are the results compiled into a “big picture” total overview:

Hint: It's laid out better (and clickable) if you download the PDF.
Some fun facts:
• 20 songs did not receive a 1-score vote:
2 from Lover (“I Think He Knows” and “Cornelia Street”);
2 from folklore (“mirrorball” and “this is me trying”);
1 from evermore (“willow”);
1 from Fearless (“Fifteen)”;
3 from Red (“Red”, “Everything Has Changed” and “The Moment I Knew”);
3 from Midnights (“Maroon”, “The Great War”, “Dear Reader”)
3 from Speak Now (“Mine”, “Back to December” and “Long Live”)
5 from 1989 (“Blank Space”, “Style”, “Wildest Dreams”, “Clean” and “New Romantics”).
• “Two is Better Than One” is the only song to not receive a 10-score vote.
Thanks for participating guys, I'll open this poll up again when we get Taylor's next album.
I was trying to come up with my favorite TS song a few days ago, and I realized the number of songs tied for 1st place for me is kind of ridiculous. Somewhere around 15-20 (I lost count at some point).
So what's your deal: one absolute favorite? A few contenders? Too many to choose from?
And how flexible are your favorites? Do they change a lot, or are they super consistent?
EDIT: I challenged myself to narrow it down and went from a list of 21 possible favorites to 8 strong contenders to a final group of 4 that I can't choose from. The top 4 for me are "the 1," "illicit affairs," "tolerate it," and "cowboy like me."
So many from TTPD became my favorites that I had to bump out some of my previous faves. Was really hard to do but here are my top 13, in no particular order:
Peace
Maroon
The Tortured Poets Department
Fortnight
Guilty as Sin
Dress
August
The 1
Happiness
Lover
Delicate
Gorgeous
Dancing with our hands tied
Down bad
Doesn’t even need to be your favourite song. Just her best work with the most profound and poetic lyrics?
Hi! Just joined and I thought a fun little question would be a good way to get to know everyone :)
My current top 5:
My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys
Karma
How You Get The Girl
Anti-Hero
Bejeweled
Doesn't have to be the best, doesn't have to be your favorite. Mine so far are Right Where You Left Me , depressing sure, but so lovely at the same time
