All 286 of Taylor Swift’s Songs, Ranked
October 6, 2025 - One of her many, many songs set at 2 a.m. – clearly the most inspiring hour on Swift Standard Time – with a staccato disco guitar lick. Best line: “We’re a crooked love in a straight line down.” · Image Credit: Frederick Breedon IV/WireImage/Getty Images · “This song is about a girl who had a dream and followed it,” Kenny Chesney tells the roaring Nashville crowd. One of those girls jumps onstage to sing along. “My friend Taylor Swift showed up on my birthday to surprise me,” Kenny explained.

What’s your favorite top five songs of Taylor?
this is me trying - Myyy song. This is about me. I don't think I've ever been so thoroughly called out in song form. I have a lot of regrets about that. Long Live - A rock anthem and a shot of nostalgic joy. Something to belt out and something to have intense feelings to. I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you. closure - I could go into all the reasons this is relatable but what I'm going to say is: the pots and pans are a feature, not a bug. Don't treat me like some situation that needs to be handled. Paper Rings - What's the best part? The Ramones homage? The wordplay? The fact that it's just sheer serotonin? The moon is high, like your friends. Nothing New - Sometimes you just need to sit and cry a bit about your life, okay. That's all. I know it's sad but this is what I think about... More on reddit.com

Taylor Swift’s 284 Songs, Ranked by a 40-Something Bald Professor | Andrew M. Ledbetter
October 9, 2025 - You’re on Your Own, Kid (Midnights): Casting a sweeping enough canvas through imaginative lyrics, strong vocals, and crisp pop production, this is just the kind of song I like from Taylor Swift; it has brought to my mind the biblical book of Ecclesiastes, which observes that human ambition is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. KIRA’S TAKE: I think this should be a top ten song because of THE BRIDGE ALONE. The song shows all of her album eras in this beautiful light.

The 75 Best Taylor Swift Songs, Ranked
April 30, 2024 - When Taylor Swift has just introduced 31 brand new songs to the world, as she did in April with the deluxe double-album that is “The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology,” it may be a fool’s errand to immediately assess where where all that fresh grist fits into the overall scope of her catalog. Foolish, and also irresistible. Angels roll their eyes, but anyone who considers her one of pop history’s great songwriters — on top of being one of the most prolific — can’t help getting a quick start on contextualizing where brilliant new songs like “The Black Dog,” “How Did I

September 26, 2023 -

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.

My Top 101 Favourite Taylor Swift Songs
September 26, 2025 - The people beg for Rock Taylor, but then they neglect songs like this one. She really understood the assignment with writing for the Hunger Games soundtrack. 37. Beautiful Ghosts 🐈‍⬛ This is potentially my most controversial inclusion. I know people have a bias against this song because it was written for one of the worst movies of recent times, but I’m an ex-theatre-kid Swiftie, of course I’m going to love it when Taylor writes a musical theatre song.

Answer: Times have changed. The top 10 used to consist of released singles. These were typically A-sides, though sometimes a B-side would slip in, and there were a few double-sided hits. When I was young, underground radio emerged and that morphed into AOR, which was album-oriented radio. Those s...

April 18, 2024 - 1 to mark her 10th chart-topper. The much-publicized, admirably savvy decision by Swift to rerecord her albums so she would own her masters allowed her to release the full 10-minute presentation (aka “Taylor’s Version”) of the winding breakup ballad initially released on her 2012 “Red” album. It’s one of her most verbose, but with its vivid storytelling about making sense of wounding memories, the time flies.

Best Taylor Swift Songs: 30 Essential Tracks For Swifties
1 week ago - By this stage, Taylor was only really competing with herself on the country charts, and “Red” actually got stuck behind one of her own tracks near the top of the US Hot Country Songs listings. When, just 18 months after the provocative Reputation, Taylor Swift emerged with another new song, “ME!,” it was a perfectly pitched step back in time: 60s-referencing bubblegum, anthemic 21st-century power-pop, and evergreen country that perfectly suited her. A contribution from Panic! At The Disco’s Brendon Urie added the ballast to rough up the sweeter top notes, which characterize all the obvious peaks of Taylor’s best songs.

The Best Taylor Swift Songs: A Definitive Ranking
December 13, 2024 - So next time you find yourself lost in the little joys of being with someone you love, put on “Lover” and let the music wash over you. It’s a beautiful reminder that the greatest love stories are often the simplest ones (Holler). In 2014, Taylor Swift released the song “Blank Space” from her album “1989.” It took the world by storm. Gold Derby reminds us that it wasn’t just a hit – it was a chart-topping phenomenon, solidifying Swift’s place in pop music history.

Blank space and trouble aren’t even in the top 50 of her best. 22, red, we are never ever getting back together, treacherous, stay stay stay, in fact most of red, all of folklore, all of evermore are better than those. Urgh. Honestly I despair sometimes.
