So I've become a HUGE fan of Taylor Swift in 2020 and 2021. Prior to that, I liked her but I didn't see her as a Top 20 favorite or anything. She has been a singles oriented musician, a few standout singles per album but usually someone you skip thru the entire album and just click play on the standout single. But her last 3 albums have become albums and songwriting oriented and she's past being defined by Love Story or Blank Space or Shake it Off. Also been a bit of revisionism of her work prior to 2020 that lead me to appreciate some of those earlier works better. There's usually one song per nearly every album I think is really great, and then a whole bunch in Evermore and Taylor's Version: Red. I've now reached the Swiftie fanatic level where if I got to choose my place to live on the East Coast, I would live in her hometown.

how have I not found this thread until tonight! I also wasn't really a fan until the Folklore era (barely paid attention between 1989 and Lover) but now I can't stop listening to her and it's getting kind of embarrassing. Love the re-release albums which are just revisits of her OG country pop stuff but with added hindsight. She's older and wiser and you feel it in those new recordings. You also just love the chutzpah of her re-releasing all these tracks just so she can own her masters. Iconic behavior.
top dozen alphabetical
All Too Well (10-minute version)
Betty
Blank Space
Dorothea
Exile
Fearless
Fifteen
Hoax
Mr. Perfectly Fine
Ronan
Treacherous
White Horse
all the tracks from Fearless and Red are the re-recordings. Taylor's Version is the only version.

I was a bit of a fan of her in 2008 altho there wasn't enough sample size to declare her a favorite at that time.
Then I kinda didn't follow her from 2010-2014.
Then when I was working in the oil industry in rural Texas (2015) - a town with more stoplights than people, Style was always on the radio - and I thought that song ripped.
I was a small fan (not a big one) - from 2015-2019, but I wouldn't be even a fan at all without Style.
And then Folklore/Evermore really propped her way up for me, and now she's at the point where it's difficult to even buy tickets to her shows. I paid $1180 for her upcoming show.
I think I prefer her first 3 albums the best nowadays along with Folklore and Evermore, and Midnights is about middle of the pack for me right behind those. That streak from Maroon to Bejeweled is one of my favorite streaks from her.
these 8 for sure:
Teardrops on My Guitar
White Horse
Speak Now
Style
Me!
Betty
Cowboy Like Me
Ronan
Question?, Champagne Problems, Fifteen, Gorgeous, Bejeweled are some of the other ones I considered to fill the rest of the 10.

Never really been a big fan, but I fuck with I Knew You Were Trouble, Look What You Made Me Do (well until the Chorus), and Message in a Bottle.

ME! ?????
I’ve never seen someone say ME! is a top 10 song. Everyone in the fandom agrees it’s one of her worst if not the worst song in her discography
She really fucking dropped the ball by not making Cruel Summer her single for Lover

ME!????? I’ve never seen someone say ME! is a top 10 song. Everyone in the fandom agrees it’s one of her worst if not the worst song in her discography She really fucking dropped the ball by not making Cruel Summer her single for Lover OK. To each his own. I don't follow the fandom - I'm my own guy sitting on my own computer, but yeah I agree there are definitely more people who like Cruel Summer MORE. I don't think All Too Well is anything so amazing for example - but everyone seems to think it's the bees knees. Like I said my opinion isn't based on anyone else's opinions. I'm sure everyone's favorites vary anyways. Nobody's opinions can align without variation. I'd try this website for tickets. It's expensive and it's only US cities tho. I got middle seats. They're good enough. www.eventticketscenter.com/search?kwds=taylor%20swift |
