- Folklore
Favorite track: the 1
Number of skips: 0
Rationale: Obviously, folklore is at the very top of my ranking. Every song has every thing, making it my only no-skip album on this list.
- Speak Now
Favorite track: Long Live
Number of skips: 1
Rationale: Heartbreaking and triumphant, wistful and hopeful, this album is The Taylor Swift Experience. It really can speak now.
- 1989
Favorite track: This Love
Number of skips: 1
Rationale: This is her most popular album for good reason. (Almost) all of the tracks are well written and extremely fun to listen to.
- Red
Favorite track: All Too Well
Number of skips: 4
Rationale: This album is full of hits and few with misses. It’s the perfect album for anywhere — the car, karaoke and autumnal walks.
- Reputation
Favorite track: Getaway Car
Number of skips: 2
Rationale: While not everyone is faced with international media scandals, this album is surprisingly relatable. This record spans a wide range of genres and topics, executing all of it with grace.
- Lover
Favorite track: Daylight
Number of skips: 2
Rationale: This album is so incredibly sappy and predictable. It takes advantage of overplayed cliches, catchy hooks and pastel sounds. So, what’s there not to love about Lover?
- Fearless
Favorite track: The Way I Loved You
Number of skips: 6
Rationale: This album is the perfect combination of pop and country DNA. But at some point, all of the songs start to mush together into one big hazy family tree.
- Evermore
Favorite track: happiness
Number of skips: 2
Rationale: Folklore and evermore are not the same. One delivers and one falls just short. The watered-down evermore tracks are fine, but can’t compare to folklore. Don’t ask me why.
- Midnights
Favorite track: Karma
Number of skips: 2
Rationale: The bold eccentricity of this album doesn’t really pay off when it comes to memorability. Sorry, it’s boring.
- Taylor Swift
Favorite track: Should’ve Said No
Number of skips: 3
Rationale: As her debut album, it’s obvious that there’s room for growth. Still, she’s a million times more mature than most 16 year olds, at least the ones I know. So while there’s room for maturity, that doesn’t take away from the undeniable catchiness and relatable themes in each track. Nonetheless, this album remains at the bottom.
