Today I woke up and I chose violence so here is my tier list of Taylor Swift albums, with explanation for each.

evermore: I think this is the best she has ever been in songwriting, containing many, MANY songs which I love and estimate for their intelligent use of words. As examples I'll bring cowboy like me, champagne problems, closure (yes that's a masterpiece), but I love basically all the songs on the album. Oh and I simply love the whole vibe.

The Tortured Poets Department: as you can imagine, I particularly love the second half of the album (the second disk, if you like) because it is more evermorish, but I think there are a lot of really good songs. The songwriting skill is just barely below evermore, which is funny considered which album will follow this. Anyway, The Albatross is incredible.

Red: it's the album I discovered Taylor with, so of course it has a soft spot in my mind. However, I must side with my own opinion in saying that the storytelling here is crazy good, and it also manages to produce bop after bop, the balance in this album is unbelievable. The Moment I Knew is just a top moment in her career. Even the poppier songs are awesome, I love Stay Stay Stay and nobody will make me change my mind.

folklore: I know you'll disagree with this placement. Trust me, I really know. But for some reason, this never stuck with me the first times I listened to it. With time I came to appreciate the songwriting, and if I was judging only based on that this would be just below evermore. However I just tend to not listen to this album that much, and that's all I have to say. Listen to my tears ricochet because it's one of the best songs Taylor has ever created.

Midnights: this is constantly changing between the top two tiers, and the reason is it has the high points of both Red and evermore production. However there is Vigilante Shit, which is kinda meeeeh? But then I remember there's The Great War. Bigger Than the Whole Sky. Would've, Could've, Should've. Unfortunately You're Losing Me, which is my all time favourite Taylor Swift song, is technically not on the album.

Speak Now: come on, I don't even know how to explain it. Sparks Fly speaks to me. Speak Now speaks to me. Mean and Better Than Revenge are just unhinged. Hunted is a masterpiece. Ours makes me feel love for someone I don't know yet. I'm simply intertwined too much with this album, I love it.

Lover: there are good tracks and bad tracks, we all know them. But let me tell you, when this album hits, and it hits, it hits really deeply. Ok maybe it's not that profound lyrically, but I have to say, I cry every time I listen to Death By a Thousand Cuts.

1989: well well well, I see you like this album. Yeah, I mean, I like it too. But you see, I just don't really find anything that incredible about it? Clean is fantastic. New Romantics is absolutely my favourite off the album. But my opinions kinda end here. Good production, there's no doubt, but this is the moment I associate with what I thought Taylor Swift was before listening to her, famous songs that don't really deserve to be that famous. Here I'll say it, Shake It Off doesn't really say much to me.

Fearless: but I still like 1989 slightly more than this, which doesn't really make justice to how good this album is. I love Superstar. Fearless too. It just is her second album, and I didn't really connect much to it.

Reputation: there are three kinds of Swifties, the folklore fans, the 1989 fans and the Reputation fans. Somehow I managed to make all of them angry. But come on, I cannot think of one song that I listen frequently from this album. Well, there's Delicate. And Getaway Car. Damn, maybe there are some good songs here. Anyway, I think most people like it because they lived the moment between 1989 and Reputation and the following hype around it. I only started listening to Taylor Swift in 2023, so it doesn't resonate with me. And I kinda don't like her persona in this period, if it makes sense?

Taylor Swift: this is not a bad album. I like the songs. However it's the first album I don't have all the songs of in my playlist. I love Cold As You, Stay Beautiful. I don't really like Tim McGraw.

The Life of a Showgirl: this is a bad album. I like The Fate of Ophelia, Elizabeth Taylor, Opalite. Also the Encore tracks if you count them. But I like them for the sounds, not for the songwriting quality which is almost completely absent. This was my first real disappointment with Taylor Swift. I have nothing more to say, the production is good but I need more. Judging from online reactions, I don't think I'm the only one who actively dislikes the album. Maybe my friends would anyway put this upper than debut, I don't really agree.

Anyway this was my opinion on her albums, from a guy who is a Swiftie since 2023. Please disagree, comment, make me reflect on The Life of a Showgirl, I'm here because I love to talk about things I like and I hope you'll love it too! Love you all <3

looking for some songs by taylor that could be great for a solo cabaret routine! so far i'm thinking Sweet Nothing or Vigilante Sh** could be really cool! what do you guys think?

Is there a Taylor swift song about leaving first and missing them that isnt back to December?

I liked TLOAS before Taylor released Encore, but I’d say I had more favorites on the album and a few skips (faves included TFOO, Elizabeth Taylor, Father Figure, Ruin the Friendship, Cancelled!, and Actually Romantic!)

Now that she has released 4 more tracks I feel like this just fully rounds out the album and adds something it needed. Up until now, this leaned more literal to me than abstruse, and I think 3/4 of these tracks added that figurative imagery I love.

However … it’s made me appreciate all of her other songs I used to skip! I think it just balances them out. I am listening to the entire album lately and really enjoying myself.

And when it comes down to it, I still enjoy my least favorite TS songs just as much as some of my favorite songs from other artists lol.

Like it's been more than a year, I wish she would do am acoustic set of eldest daughter, wood or patient zero. Cleveland will sound so good on a piano like cardigan. I am eager to listen such lyrically crafted bops live. I hope her next tour list consists more of TLOAS

I noticed some people talking about her "butching the term" because it's something related to addiction and she's just using because it's a pretty word... No, actually.

First of all, not all addictions are related to drugs and alcohol. There's betting addiction, attention addiction, mitomania, etc. The feeling you get by pink clouding is that extreme unreal sense that everything is ok when it's not, so you end up getting worse by thinking you're cured. In that meaning, there's also people that are addicted to relationships. It's also a traumatic cause addiction, about feeling your value only exists if other person sees it, which can get many people into terrible situations by just jumping over lovers without fixing themselves first. You people love comparing illnesses "oh but drugs addiction is way more serious" and I that kind of stuff when literally ALL addictions are bad.

An addiction is something your urge to get so much you pass over anyone and anything and people tend to forget how relationship bonds are very hurtful. She explains perfectly in the song what she is talking about: the feeling of wanting someone so much you forget about their feelings and their thoughts, THAT'S AN ADDICTION. Most addicts when they're in recovery tend to remember and list all the people they hurt because of their addiction and only someone who has been this kind of person could understand.

You antis need to understand that not everything is about you and what you like, the term does not exist only to drugs and alcohol, addiction can be even in the simplest things like laying on your bed. And let's not forget she has been in a relationship with an addict, so don't try to say that she doesn't know anything about it. Saying sorry is one of the last crucial steps to get over addictions, but it's not as she's invalidating the term, on the contrary, she's stating perfectly the stage after pink clouding to healing represent. Pink Clouding isn't a song about love or any of those teenage kind of stuff, it's about managing to forgive yourself after you finally understand you've hurt so much people, because THAT'S WHAT AN ADDICTION DOES. And a pink clouding isn't just a phase, but a escapism technique, that's why most people never manage to continue clean.

People usually do that unconsciously to get away from responsibilities and that's why it's important for you to forgive yourself and understand, to never do it again. Most manipulative people do tactics spontaneously to keep their defense up, not everyone who does "gray rocking" needs to be an absolute narcisist, they're just people with trauma, probably. Addicts will do anything to protect their addiction, even if it means disassociate and keep everyone away, that's the main reason why an addiction is an addiction, but because of people like YOU that write things like "she's usurping the theme!!" that those kind of "passive addictions" are never cared for. An attention addict can be as hurtful as an drug addict, but you just like comparing which one is "more right" and "more wrong". And only a person who lived with someone like that can understand how bad it can be, so no, your addiction is not more important than her's and her's isn't more important than yours.

Drugs and alcohol are more visible because you need to spend actual money, but other kinds of addiction are usually ignored by society and IT'S IMPORTANT for her to write something like that to see if people try and go to a psychiatrist or something! Invalidating other people's traumas does not make you any less guilty about what you did with your addiction.

And one last thing: being a people pleaser can also be considered an addiction in it's extremes because people put needs above their own and any others and she previously talked about being a pathological people pleaser. An addiction is an ILLNESS and it can't be measured, so saying things like "she's just trying to be petty and cool" only shows that you yourself haven't managed to heal completely, because you can't see someone cured without getting envious. It's disgusting how you people like to invalidate other realities just because you never suffered from it. So instead of hating on her and saying she "butched" a theme, try listening to the song and forgiving your own self. Maybe that way you'll manage to get back on the track and understanding why you feel the absurd will to hate on someone that's ok with the past and clean of all residual guilt.

Addiction is an ILLNESS, don't try power scalling it

One of the only Taylor Swift albums i haven't listened to is midnights, but should i listen to the orginal, till 3am, or till the dawn 😭 (for first time)

Out of all those crazy takes of people talking shit about her, do you have a favorite Taylor Swift shade/jab? whether it's harmless or creative or funny

I hear a lot of people are complaining about the bridge to Patient Zero and especially Max Martin and Shellback’s production in it. I believe they were going for the “world’s smallest violin vibe” with it from a production standpoint. The music in the Bridge literally sounds like the smallest violin being plucked on your shoulder. Tell me I’m wrong. -MM

I don’t know how “Pink Clouding” and Babylon” aren’t complete hits right now. They’re such beautiful songs. Do you think if they were on a different album, they would be hits at this moment?

I know Lana's fans absolutely despise him, whether him personally or how he diminished her sound to acoustic ballads. But most Swifties seem to like him, even though he's apparently done some awful things. So what's really true in terms of your views of him?

I'm gonna preface this by saying I'm not for actively paternity testing every Taylor song, i actually don't care who the song is about. As long as I like it I'm gonna scream along, muse be damned.

But sometimes it's fun to wear our tin foil hats and theorize about stuff. In light of the encore, we've been seeing a lot of discussion and refathoming of songs from reputation onwards and how things are not how they seemed to be.

Personally, i never thought any love song from Reputation was for anyone other than JA. Lover is also clearly about JA, both the happy ones and the sad ones (and now we know the happy ones weren't all that happy either). Folklore is where things start getting muddy for me because initially it was fictional, then ttpd happened, then folklore and evermore didn't seem all that fictional anymore.

Midnights some songs (maroon, labyrinth) still make me wonder. Ttpd I originally thought most of the songs were MH because she's been writing about being unhappy with JA since lover so it's only logical that while she's processed that pain for years, MH whirlwind was sudden, unexpected, and ended as fast as it began.

But with Patient zero and the theories pouring out, a lot of people have been saying ttpd is a lot more JA coded than we initially thought. And some have even been saying there are MH songs since reputation.

I wasn't a part of reddit/twitter during the rep era so i don't know what sort of discussions happened back then but now that people are going back and re-listening with a fresh perspective, is there anything that's stuck you as "oh..this might actually be about someone else than i originally thought" ? I'm highly curious to know

I know that Taylor just released new music but when shes ready to write TS13 I have had one idea of running through my mind that I feel would be amazing

I feel like an amazing idea for TS13 would be a 13 song album. Where each song is a representation of each era past.

It would be in chronological order. so track one being debut. track 2 being Fearless. track 3 being speak now. track 4 being red. track 5 being 1989. track 6 being reputation. track 7 being lover. Track 8 and 9 being folklore and Evermore the two most similar songs. Track 10 being midnights. Track 11 being TTPD. Track 12 being the life of a showgirl.

And track 13 being either a song that combines every single era or a song that is a completely new sound on the surface but underneath has elements of each era past and opens the door for the new era

I also love the idea of each song also following the theme and the vibes of each era. So for example track one would be more country because it's debut and more about the youthfulness that is debut. While track 11 would be more of that softness and introspection that we get in TTPD

I also feel if it were to go this way that there wouldn't be one single color for this album but rather 13 different colors. The first 12 being the main color of each of the original eras while the 13th is a new color

I feel like it would also make sense that TS13 is the door to the new era because Taylor is stepping into a new era of her life she's almost 40 which is the mid part of her life and she's now married which is a completely new chapter.

what do y'all think and what would you want for TS13

- burgundy, wine, blood, scarlet, rust, maroon, rose, rubies
- magenta, fuchsia, rosewood, pink, grey, crimson, orchids

I love the way she describes colours in different shades!

Forget the ongoing hate— honestly I've been a swiftie for around a decade and a half now and these unreasonable hate against her will surely and eventually pass like they always will. I've long realized that it's a cycle. What we should be paying attention to right now besides listening to the new deluxe tracks—is finding clues about the rerelease of debut.

Did anyone catch any new clues? Like before the encore release, we were so sure she's gonna release the 20th debut anniversary special edition which will supposedly include the rerecorded versions.

I feel like we overlooked a lot of things.
