This year my Spotify Wrapped was filled with Taylor Swift. In early 2022, my high school friends convinced me to listen to more Taylor, and I definitely did. My Spotify wrap is filled with Taylor and her vibe. As the top 1% of Taylor listeners, I wanted to share my top 15 songs and why I believe they’re there. These songs go right through Taylor’s albums, and I think at least a few will be relatable even to non-Taylor listeners.
- Too good (10 minute version)
If you haven’t listened to “All Too Well,” it’s time to embrace all the emotions this one-song roller coaster will take you on.
- cruel summer
Whether you are in your Lover era or not, “Cruel Summer” is a catchy love song. I can listen whatever my mood.
- Long life
“Long live” disabled Speak Now feels empowered to listen. It’s a great song to shout in the car.
- Perfidious
Taylor’s version of “Treacherous” lets you feel the highs and lows in a great way. I love listening to this song because it’s relatable and builds towards a powerful message.
- Never grow up
“Never Grow Up” is especially sad to listen to as a freshman transitioning into college, but I love the sentiment.
- Our song
“Our Song” is a great upbeat song that always makes me smile.
- champagne problems
Although I’m not the biggest fan of sad songs, “Champagne Problems” comes out every time. I know every word, and I think it’s perfect for a car ride in the rain.
- The man
I started listening to the man from the Holy Cross feminist forum playlist. This song reclaims the patriarchy (but in a different tone from “All Too Well”).
- don’t blame me
Some days we’re all in our Reputation eras. “Don’t Blame Me” puts me in a vengeful mood without having listened to the entire album.
- The very first night
Clearly I am a Red (Taylor’s version) fan. This song takes me along Red journey that I like to hear.
Honorable mentions:
- Lover
- paper rings
- Dear John
- message in a bottle
- Tim McGraw
There are so many other Taylor Swift songs that I enjoy and love too, but these were some of my favorites. I’ve also linked my Spotify Wrapped playlist to compare if you’re another Swiftie, or to check out some of my favorite Taylor Swift songs,
