I Rated Taylor Swift’s Discography
You know what bothers me? When people say, “Hey, Ella. What’s your favorite Taylor Swift song?”
HOW DO I CHOOSE DUDE
It’s realistically impossible to decide. But, for the people who ask me religiously, here is a strategically ordered, extensive list of Taylor Swift songs, ordered based on how I’m feeling at this moment. This changes everyday. The process was ~very~ lengthy, but we made it. Using a bracket system, I rated 175 of Taylor’s songs, from best, to not as “best”, because I couldn’t bring myself to say “worst”. They’re all number one in my heart.

Yo Ella, I’m really happy for you, I’ll let you finish, but ‘Exile feat. Bon Iver’ is one of the best Taylor Swift songs of all time! One of the best Taylor Swift songs of all time!

*I stand, surprised, not knowing how to finish the article*
13/10 comment, but I cannot agree. It is a bop though. Very sad, very emotional.
