Apparently when Kim Kardashian heavily criticized Taylor Swift in a tweet, things went haywire. Swift took her time and came up with this absolute banger in 2019. The lyrics of this song clearly targeted her critics and the people in music industry who tried pulling her down.
I mean when you come up with a lyrics like “But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time

This isn’t just a song it’s a satire on the life of a star who is super successful and yet vulnerable. “All the young things line up to take your place, another name goes up in the lights, you wonder if you’ll make it out alive.” These words pretty much sums up the hardships of an artist in the music industry. - 84.

Taking the blame of hurting her lover, Swift pens this emotional track.
- 49. Enchanted, Album – Speak Now, Released – (2010)
A beautiful track about love at first sight. As Swift portrays “Walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy, vanished when I saw your face, all I can say is it was enchanting to meet you.” I wonder if she got the chance to confess her love this guy. - 48. Tis, The Damn Season, Album – Evermore, Released – (2020)
Swift pens an emotional ode to a hometown love in this song. On a visit to her parents house during holidays, love reignites when she meet her boyfriend from school. In this song Swift amazingly juxtaposes her “friends” in L.A with the folks from hometown.
“I’ll go back to L.A, and the so called friends who’ll write books about me, if I ever make it and wonder about the soul who can tell which smiles I’m faking” This isn’t the feel good song especially during holiday season but it’s perfect one for a gloomy day. - 47. Mad Woman, Album Name – Folklore, Released – (2020)
A song about a woman who has been pushed against the wall by the patriarchs. This track is about Swift’s personal struggles in music industry and the men who tried to take her career down. The lyrics of this song are absolutely savage and I think this track should get more views. - 46. False God, Album name – Lover, Released – (2019)
For anyone who is in a long distance relationship, this song feels like having phone sex. I mean really Swift uses words like “I know heaven’s a thing, I go there when you touch me”, “the altar is my hips”, “Religion’s in you lips”. - 45. Haunted, Album – Speak Now, Released – (2010)
Swift explained that “Haunted is a song about the moment when you realize that the person you’re in love with is drifting and fading fast. And you don’t know what to do, but in that period of time, in that phase of love, where it is fading out, time moves so slowly.” In this track her voice is raw and mature, that goes amazingly well with the orchestral arrangement. - 44. The Last American Great Dynasty, Movie- The Long Pond Studio Sessions
Released – (2020)
For this track Swift takes inspiration from the story of Rebekah Harkness, the controversial socialite who had an eccentric lifestyle. When Swift purchased the mansion owned by Harkness in Rhode Island she saw that her life had a similar pattern. The Hollywood lifestyle, parties, breakups, fighting the patriarchal hierarchy, being considered as misfit, etc. No wonder Swift had an idea of turning this into a song. - 43. All you had to do was stay, Album name- 1989 Deluxe, Released – (2014)
“People like you always want back the love they gave away, And people like me wanna believe you when you say you’ve changed” The complex side of love is clearly Swift’s favorite theme and she easily portrays the emotions through this song. - 42. Karma, Album name- Midnights, Released – (2022)
Featuring Ice Spice and Swift this slow styled disco song reflects on the karmic cycle.

This song looks like a note from her personal diary which reminds us that what you sow is what you reap. - 41. Dear John, Album name- Speak now, Released – (2010)

This song sheds light on the happy moments of a relationship gone sour. - 39. Gorgeous, Album name- Reputation, Released – (2017)
Crushing over a stranger in club is a good but when you’ve have a boyfriend then it’s GORGOEUS according to Swift. The attraction is way too strong and whisky takes the blame for everything that happens in this crazy stupid love song! - 38. Shake it off, Album name- 1989 Deluxe, Released – (2014)
I like the artists who are self aware versus the ones who like to be in their own bubble. Swift is clearly the self conscious one and takes hits like a champion. She takes the insults, criticism and turns that into a catchy song. - 37. I did something bad, Album name – Reputation, Released – (2017)
“If a man talks shit, then I owe him nothing. I don’t regret it one bit because he had it coming” Clearly this song belongs to this album and for Taylor Swift. This track talks about the darker side of a relationship, but I’m sure you must have guessed that by it’s name. - 36. Maroon, Album name- Midnights, Released – (2022)
I love the haunting background of this break up song. I think this track is the perfect example of falling in love and then drifting apart with a sad ending. Some fans speculate that this song was written for Tom Hiddleston. - 35. Treacherous, Album name – Red, Released – (2012)
Every time you fall in love there is a risk of a heartbreak, indeed the road to love is treacherous but I think it’s worth the risk. This slow styled ballad is a beautiful surprise from Swift’s regular type of songs. - 34. Seven, Album name – The long pond studio, Released – (2020)
This song feels like a recall to childhood trauma, the friendship and the love that got lost. - 33. Happiness, Album name – Evermore, Released (2020)
This song feels like overcoming a divorce and forgiving the person for everything that’s happened in past. The track addresses the dark side of a failed relationship in the start “Tell me, when did your winning smile, begin to look like a smirk” and moves to forgiveness in the end. - 32. Begin Again, Album name – Red, Released (2012)
Finding someone as crazy as you is the most magnificent thing that can ever happen. In this track Swift talks about meeting a guy after 8 months of breakup and she is amazed how this person appreciates her for everything that her ex didn’t like. - 31. Last Kiss, Album name – Speak now, Released – (2023)
I think this song is purposely made to break your heart into pieces. Reflecting on the beautiful moments and the unfortunate ending of a relationship, this song has all the vibes of a tear jerker. - 30. Clean, Album name – 1989 (Deluxe), Released – (2014)
This track talks about the problems of toxic relation and the struggle to break free from it. Swift comes clean in her writing when she describes how she feels trapped in an affair that seems to be destroying her from the inside. Just take a look at few lines from this track “You’re still all over me like a wine-stained dress I can’t wear anymore”, “The water filled my lungs, I screamed so loud but no one heard a thing.” - 29. The Man, Album name – Lover, Released – (2019)
The feminist side of Swift kicks in and she directly takes the stage to voice her views. ” I’m so sick of running as fast as I can, wondering if I’d get there quicker If I was man” This track makes a great effort to address issues like gender inequality in America and worldwide. Kudos to Dwayne Johnson for being a part of this song. - 28. Bad Blood, Album name – 1989 (Deluxe), Released – (2014)
The song has one of the best female ensemble cast. Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham, Gigi Hadid, Cara Delevingne, Ellie Goulding, Hailee Steinfeld, Zendaya, Lily Aldridge, Jessica Alba, Cindy Crawford and more.
With 1.5 billion views on YouTube this Taylor Swift song is totally badass! - 27. Call It What You Want To, Album name – Reputation, Released – (2017)
“My castle crumbled overnight, I brought a knife to a gunfight. They took the crown but it’s alright” clearly when it comes to defending her reputation Swift goes all guns blazing. - 26. Mean, Album name – Speak Now, Released – (2023)
Swift was inspired by a critic for this track. After her performance at 52nd Annual Grammy awards, a music critic voiced his views which was quiet offensive. He mentioned “Taylor is too young and dumb to understand the mistake she made. Those surrounding her are too addicted to cash and afraid to tell her no. But last night she should’ve auto tuned, to save her career.”
This was just one of the many other criticism Swift was facing from the start of her career, and she wanted to address this in her style. Today after more than a decade she is ruling the music industry and I think that says a lot about her talent and hard work. - 25. We’re never getting back together, Album name – Red, Released – (2012)
A catchy tune combined with badass lyrics makes this an anthem song for anyone who is thinking to go back to their toxic love. Inspired by the on and off relationship with her boyfriend, Swift came up with this hit track. - 24. Wildest Dreams, Album name – 1989 (Deluxe), Released – (2014)

In a live Q&A before the launch of this video Swift explained “This song is about lost romance and why young love is often fixed so permanently in our memories. Why it leaves such an indelible mark.” Some fans suggest this track is about her long relationship with Joe Alwyn. Well, I can only guess about that but this song does feel like opening an old wound. - 22. The 1, Movie- The Long Pond Studio Sessions, Released – (2020)
I think regret is the root cause of all the pain in our lives. This track talks about breakup, happy moments, and the never ending thought of “it would’ve been fun, If you would’ve been the one.” - 21. Right Where You Left Me, Album name- Evermore, Released – (2020)
This song reminds me of the time when I couldn’t move on after a break up. The feeling of being left out, helpless, and hoping that things would get back to normal. A friendly suggestion, avoid this track if you’re trying to get over your partner. - 20. Illicit affairs, Movie – The Long Pond Studio Sessions, Released – (2020)
I know the list is getting melancholic but hey there is no other kind when it comes to breakup songs. Swift weaves an emotional ballad with this track. I love the line in this song which goes ” What started in beautiful rooms, ends with meetings in parking lots and that’s the thing with illicit affairs.” - 19. Exile, Movie – The Long Pond Studio Sessions, Released – (2020)
Swift collaborates with Bon Iver for this highly emotional track. The lyrics are well written and each word will make you feel the pain of a relationship going stale. - 18. Willow, Album name – Evermore, Released – (2020)
Finally we’ve a song with Happy Ending. This track narrates the intricacy of falling in love and finding the right person. A well directed song by Swift which is a treat to watch. I think down the line she should consider directing a feature film. I’m sure she’ll amaze everyone with her talent. - 17. Forever & Always, Album name – Fearless, Released – (2008)
Taylor has revived most of her old songs and recorded them again in her adult voice. This song is one of them and if you’ve heard both versions you can spot the difference instantly. According to Swifties Taylor wrote this track after her short lived romance with Joe Jonas.
- 16. Fifteen, Album name – Fearless, Released – (2008)
This is a popular country pop song by Swift. In this tracks she narrates the feeling of first day at high school; the nervousness, new town, making new friends, crushing on senior boys, falling in love and going through heartbreak for this first time. - 15. The Way I Loved You, Album name – Fearless, Released – (2008)
After listening to this track I’m pretty sure Swift loves bad boys. She loves the screaming, fighting, kissing in the rain, and the crazy late night adventures. She doesn’t want to settle for a feeling that’s mundane. - 14. Lavender Haze, Album name – Midnights, Released – (2022)
The 34 year old American singer revealed that “Lavender haze means to be deeply in love with someone or in the honeymoon stages of relationship” Swift was inspired to write this track while watching the series “Mad Men.” - 13. Message In A Bottle, Album – Red (Taylor’s Version), Released – (2021)
A fast paced pop song about finding love that’s far away. Every time I hear this track on radio I find myself dancing. I think this is a great party song which never disappoints. - 12. Cruel Summer, Album name – Lover, Released – (2019)

This song speaks about the unconditional love in a relationship and the impact it has on the person. Here Swift writes some of the best lines “So you were never a saint and I’ve loved in shades of wrong”, “You’re my Achilles heel” “Mosaic broken hearts” this track was truly a surprise in this album. - 10. Out of the Woods, Album name – 1989, Released – (2014)
Apparently through this song Swift is narrating about her chaotic relationship with Harry Styles. Without directly taking any names she smartly addresses the issue in her usual way.
“Remember when you hit the brakes too soon? 20 stitches in a hospital room”, “your necklace hanging from my neck” so when the fans & media heard this track they couldn’t’ help but track the inspiration behind this song. - 9. Ivy, Album name – Evermore, Released – (2020)
With this track Swift portrays a story of an extramarital affair. I think this song is pure, innocent, heartwarming, haunting and poetic. Ivy is truly one of her masterpiece especially in terms of lyrics and composition. It’s an underrated Taylor Swift song which should get more attention. - 8. The Archer, Album name – Lover, Released (2019)
Swift’s life has been a roller coaster ride and she has channeled this energy gracefully in her work. We’ve seen the good and the dark side of her life through her songs but this track feels like reading her personal diary.
In this song she talks about her destructive nature, her faults, her mistakes in love, fears, “friends” and critics. She says ” I’ve been the archer, I’ve been the prey” - 7. Anti Hero, Album name – Midnights, Released – (2022)

I can guarantee that this song will never go out style. The music, lyrics and the vocals makes it one of the best pop song from Taylor Swift. - 3. Blank Space, Album name – 1989 (Deluxe), Released – (2014)
In and interview to GQ magazine in 2015, Swift said she wanted to write a satirical song about herself addressing the media image of her as “a girl who is crazy but seductive, but glamorous, a bit nuts and a bit manipulative.” Blank space is the exaggerated version of her love life and it is one of the most watched Taylor Swift song. Till date this track has 3.7 Billion views on YouTube. - 2. Delicate, Album name – Reputation, Released – (2017)
This is my all time favorite song from Taylor Swift. Great lyrics, great music composition, and awesome vibes from start to end. Taylor dances her heart out in this electrifying song.
Taking note of her fake and publicized image she conceived this track and wrote about her vulnerable side. This Taylor Swift song became so popular that it was performed in her various concerts including the Eras tour. - 1. All too well, Album name – Red, Released – (2012)
This is the longest song by Taylor Swift till now. She narrates every little details of her failed relationship and crafts an astonishing composition. Later in 2021 Swift directed a “short film” for this track, starring Sadie Sink, Dylan O’Brien and herself.
