As a longtime Swiftie, I’ve had the honor to sit through several eras of American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. I grew up listening to Swift, but I didn’t become a true fan on my own until “Reputation” released in November of 2017. I love all of Swift’s music dearly as her lyricism is unlike any other, and I adore being able to relate to them, taking what I need from her songs and applying them to my own life.
Her songs have a tempo that is memorable and exciting, but my favorite part of her music is her storytelling. There is no doubt that Taylor Swift is the artist of the century, with all her accomplishments and endeavors, such as the Eras Tour, where the U.S. leg alone grossed at least $1 billion.
She’s also my favorite artist because of her character. She’s not perfect by any means, but has proved time and time again that she truly cares for her fans, and that is something that is unique and special in the fandom.
And with the span of multiple new albums, eras, and even rerecordings, I have finally determined my top five favorite Taylor Swift songs, which is honestly such a feat because I am incredibly indecisive.
