r/TaylorSwift on Reddit: Where’s Taylor in this ranking???
August 3, 2024 -

Ok so Guardian did their top 20 songs of the year and half of the songs are from people you’ve never heard of and not ONE song from her is here.

This is the ranking: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/dec/06/the-20-best-songs-of-2024

Anyone else mad at this or just me? Because the existence of this article implies that all 20+ of these songs are better than the entirety of TTPD and it feels like an insult.

Taylor Swift eras deathmatch! Making the case for the superstar’s best album | Taylor Swift | The Guardian
March 22, 2023 - While such grand musical vaults and gimlet-eyed determination to conquer the charts resulted in Swift dialling down some of the diaristic specificity found on Red, it also made for huge, all-encompassing choruses: the impeccable Italo disco of Style (one of her best songs), the swooning heartbeats of Wildest Dreams or the euphoric chorus of New Romantics.

The 75 Best Taylor Swift Songs, Ranked
April 30, 2024 - So here we go — out of the roughly 260 original songs that Swift has released, here is a very studied ranking of the 75 best. Are you ready for it? “You think I’m bulletproof, but I’m not” — now there’s a running theme, established in youth, that runs all the way through “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart.” The combination of indomitability and vulnerability never counts as an oxymoron in the Taylor Swift universe.

‘Like eating too much chocolate’: Guardian readers on Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department | Taylor Swift | The Guardian
April 23, 2024 - As someone who has been a Swiftie for over a decade, my initial impression is that this album is one of her best lyrically, but production-wise it can get a bit repetitive by the end. While Folklore, Evermore and Midnights were full of either fictional tales or vague reminiscences, The Tortured Poets Department is a clear return to her old style of extremely personal, confessional songwriting, but still retaining the poetic lyricism she’s acquired in recent years.

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.

October 9, 2025 - Teardrops on My Guitar (Taylor Swift): A classic Taylor song and a strong example of her country artistry, although I wish it built to a better climax. 124. Blank Space (1989): I know, I can hear some Taylor Swift fans picking up rocks to throw at me, and this track has grown on me over the years, but I’m still left with the feeling that it doesn’t do enough of the emotional build-and-release that characterizes Taylor’s best work.
