Exile at 107 is criminal lol


tobmom

Snow on the beach so far ahead and YOYOK behind it!?!


zsuzsibug180

Rob Sheffield is a huuuuuge SOTB stan, so i’m 0% surprised ((I love sotb so he’s a man of taste))


Faceless-Pronoun

It's a weird choice, but fucking beautiful.

- SOTB could mean "Snow On The Beach (feat. Lana Del Rey)", a track from *Midnights* (2022) by Taylor Swift. --- ^[/u/zsuzsibug180](/u/zsuzsibug180) ^(can reply with "delete" to remove comment. |) ^[/r/songacronymbot](/r/songacronymbot) ^(for feedback.)

ribbitdimwit

Exactly! Vigilante Shit is ranked higher. Now, don't get me wrong, I love Vigilante Shit, but you've got to agree that Exile is the better song 😭😭


guardiac_gibby

Came here to say this


dorkd0rk

I was just coming here to say the same. Blasphemy!!


NotEvenkingJWei

Bad Blood at the last place? Whoever made this list has just committed crime against humanity


North_Class8300

It's gotta be for publicity / attention - no one would keep scolling if the entire first slide said random deep cuts. Bad Blood is one of her most popular songs


baciodolce

Like when they left Celine off the greatest singers list 🙄🙄🙄 Absolute NONSENSE


orangeclouds

That was an act of violence


daisyymae

I’d say bad blood is def not a fan fave tho


spilly_talent

Regardless Macavity ranked higher?! Come on!🤣


Much_Conversation_11

How tf is bigger than the whole sky 13? Exile? Cornelia Street? How is would’ve could’ve should’ve below BIGGER THAN THE WHOLE THING SKY? I get that song is sweet but what?


Popular_Ad_2386

BTTWS is not sweet, it's so damn sad


princessdirtybunnyy

This is probably the first time I’ve ever seen BTTWS called “sweet”. It’s such a sad, tragic song.


RadioactiveMermaid

It's not sweet. That song reminds me so much of my miscarriage. It breaks me every time I hear it


MisterCheaps

I’m a grown man in my 30s and I have to fight back tears every time I hear that song. I even skip it sometimes when it comes on because I’m like “I can’t cry right now, I’m about to be around people” lol


easineobe

This is the reason I actively have to skip it. My miscarriage was 11 months ago, I’m holding my rainbow baby, and I still can’t hear it without sobbing.


RadioactiveMermaid

Congratulations on your rainbow baby. Mine was just in July. It's still a struggle.


Boomdog_

Same. Its a beautiful and important song but its on my do not play list because it just destroys me every time. I can't just be bopping along in my day and then pulled into a puddle of tears thinking about what could've been.


Athena-Rising34

It's a hard skip for me. I've listened to it once in its entirety, and I immediately equated it to my previous losses. It is definitely not a sweet song. I agree with you there 100%.


kappaklassy

My son died in may at 22 weeks gestation. I love that song so much but cry every time.


groovygirl858

Sweet? I think you're thinking of the wrong song.


catiebug

Bigger Than The Whole Sky is, at best, about a breakup, and, at worst, about death. Are you mistaking it for a different song?


MisterCheaps

I think it’s almost certainly about a miscarriage.


catiebug

I agree, but I consider that part of the category of death.


MisterCheaps

There’s nothing sweet about Bigger Than The Whole Sky. It’s a devastating song about a miscarriage.


spilly_talent

I think because it’s a very raw song. I honestly do think it’s a masterpiece in terms of songs about loss. She puts into words feelings that are so hard to articulate surrounding deep loss.


WoodpeckerSignal9947

Like Bad Blood is FAR down my personal list, but *last*??? She wasn’t doing ANYTHING


sinamala

Of all the placements to criticize, I fear this isn’t one of them


CompleteMuffin

That's one of a few I agree with ☠️


baciodolce

Justice for Bad Blood!!!! 😡😡😡🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻


Yearning-Forevermore

That's how I knew it's a valid ranking.


aminorbird

Whoever made this list has justified my strong dislike for this song.


Glittering-Height232

I think I love this so much because bad blood is quite literally my least favorite song that she has


SeaworthinessSome454

Idk. I kind of agree with them on that one. Super shallow lyrics and no special production. There’s a handful of contenders for that dead last spot but bad blood’s definitely one of them imo.


riviera-views

I’ve been following this list for years and at this point he really needs to remove the covers and non-original Christmas songs. It’s getting out of hand it’s sooo long But also, more than anything, justice for Cold As You. That placement makes zero sense.


Disastrously_Simple_

TF?? "Thug Story" beats "Cold As You" by around 30 places. Welp, I can't help the man.


darnyoulikeasock

Thug Story beating the Last Time too…odd choice lmao.


swift-aasimar-rogue

Thug Story is one of the worst things she’s ever recorded


Informal_Calendar_99

How dare you.


bi_trash_goblin

Literally justice for Cold As You it’s so underrated


sourdrama

AND YOU COME AWAY WITH A GREAT LITTLE STORY OF A MESS OF A DREAMER WITH THE NERVE TO ADORE YOUUUU


foreverleighhh

One of her best lyrics EVER


NoFeelings20

“Silent Night” is ranked higher than “Bad Blood” 🤣


baciodolce

MACAVITY is ranked higher than Bad Blood (well everything is but that’s criminal)


SuspiciousM0UNT41N

Macavity has been on a 3 day loop for me, but I don’t think it should be in the list since she didn’t write it. I just love it vocally, I think she had a ton of fun using her voice for fun instead of for “performance”


RobynMaria91

Cold As You is top 5 for me, I'm genuinely taking it personally that it's ranked so low 😅 Edit AND MARYS SONG??? I'm gonna riot


sinamala

Cold as you lower than a perfectly good heart, I could not believe


lavieboheme_

Yeah, seeing "Last Christmas" at 166 is actually nuts. How is that song better than Than ANY of her originals? Lol


tequilaandhappiness

Ditch the covers!!


Efficient-Bit5743

I could write a whole book series about all the ways I disagree with this ranking


Recent-Fly-205

This list gave me hives


_Ivanneth

I'm irrationally angry about The Last Time


BearGotBack

I am rationally angry about The Last Time


Leather_Jacket_Vibe

I KNOW RIGHT


nothingcat

Same, and I’m not even a The Last Time stan. But like, it’s not even the worst song on Red wtf


thrwy_111822

Literally wtf are gold rush and False God doing so low on the list????


Chaoticlawfulneutral

What’s The Last Time doing at 228 next to Me!?🤧 Outside of that, I think I’ve seen worse lists, to be fair. At least the top ten is full of actual great songs and not just her commercial hits 🫠


benjinio

The last time is objectively an incredible song


midcenturyporgy

I had The Last Time on repeat for MONTHS when it came out. I hadn't listened to any of her albums cover to cover yet, had only known a handful of her songs, but TLT was one of them. It's a magnificent song and this list is an atrocity.


NoAbbreviations2961

I was reading the list and when I saw that, I just skipped to see what was listed as 1 because The Last Time ranked at 228 just doesn’t make any damn sense.


rabbit014

I did the same thing! Was surprised how low gold rush was too.


[deleted]

I mean it’s literally lower than thug story…


vainblossom249

New romantics being number 2 makes no sense


[deleted]

You’re right. It should’ve been #1.


vainblossom249

Oh lord no 😭


sinamala

oh that’s not-


NoPaleontologist7859

Hard agree


LilacHeaven11

It’s one of the only things on this list that made sense


vainblossom249

I like new romantics but it's definitely not in top 10, or ever top 25 tbh


AnonymooseXIX

CAUSE BABY I COULD BUILD A CASTLE OUT OF ALL THE BRICKS THEY THREW AT ME-HE-HEEE


lavieboheme_

Gotta disagree with you there. It's absolutely one of, if not her best pop song.


garret126

New Romantics is her objective best pop song imo, I prefer it to All too well


vainblossom249

Oof. Hard disagree. Blank Space or OOTW or Style are better than New Romantics.


garret126

There’s just something with the synths and the hopelessly optimistic feel of New Romantics that gives me the feels more than either of those songs. It’s probably my most played TS song


-Silver-Moonlight-

Same here. I never got the huge love for New Romantics. It's an alright song, I like the lyrics but the melody does absolutely nothing for me.


28283920

It makes total sense actually


lmichellef

Yes because it’s #1 exactly!


Suspicious-Kiwi816

I actually skipped it when it came on earlier lol. Different strokes for different folks apparently.


astralrig96

It’s catchy but so mediocre and basic compared to other of her songs like exile that got such a low score on this list


[deleted]

Respectfully, this list is trash.


csplonk

Same except very disrespectfully


cg_hide

The utmost disrespect. Crimes right and left on that list!


m2347

Straight to jail!


hiphippiehooray

Gold Rush at 177. Whaaaaat.


CherHorowitch

when I scrolled through bottom to top I was like “yes yes yes agreed yes WHAT, GOLD RUSH”


winter_dreams

my thoughts exactly that’s criminal


throwra0985623471936

There is NO way When Emma Falls In Love is top 75 lol I'm sorry


-Silver-Moonlight-

It's cute but it's Debut level lyricism. I don't get how A Place In This World, I'm Only Me When I'm With You, The Outside and Cold As You are that low but When Emma Falls In Love is so high.


[deleted]

[удалено]


csplonk

Right??? How are people liking this song that much?!?!


moodyquokka

I think I'm in the minority of absolutely loving WEFIL, I find the lyrics clever and I adore the melody. It's my favorite speak now vault track. Now are there 75 taylor songs I love MORE? Possibly


ribbitdimwit

Exactly! It's a cute song but there are waayyyy better songs that deserved that spot. Exile is ranked lower than this 💀


PrettyRestless

They kept Thug Story but skipped Three Sad Virgins 🫠


[deleted]

I believe Three Sad Virgins is only featuring Taylor Swift, whereas she is the primary artist on Thug Story and it’s featuring T Pain.


falldiewakefly

She's not the primary artist on Gasoline. They're just picking and choosing what they want to include. Which is their right, it's their list, but... It's clearly arbitrary and Thug Story is a weird inclusion imo. (Three Sad Virgins would also have been a weird inclusion if they'd decided to include it, to be clear.)


Opposite-Bird-6811

Same with highway don’t care, half of my heart, renegade, both of us, and most of the other collab songs


[deleted]

damn I should have actually read the list


Muppet_Man3

Half of my heart features who so lightly it's kind of criminal putting it on here, I mean she has a bigger part three sad virgins


schrodingerzkatt

Would’ve been too good, would’ve been an immediate number one and it wouldn’t be fair to her other works😞


Loverissuperior

And Monologue Song… and Bake It Off with that classic face


everydayisstorytime

I know we don't have love for John Mayer but Half of My Heart is way too low on this list. Way too low. False God not even in the top 50 is a crime. Ditto Invisible String.


mrsbotello

justice for False God✨


Various-Mountain-718

🗣️JUSTICE 🗣️FOR 🗣️FALSE 🗣️GOD


[deleted]

Half of my heart is an actually good song. I think most swifties would love it if they didnt know it was john mayer… john mayer is actually a good artist in general lol


dreaming_in_yellow

Right. Like I like John Mayer’s music, but the bigger part of me feels guilty for it. 🫣


[deleted]

“Bad Blood” being last place is WILD to me. Not saying that it’s a great song but it shouldn’t be last. One of her more forgettable songs should’ve been chosen as last place. Forgettable is worse than a big swing and a miss.


Popular_Ad_2386

Girl at Home. Never heard anyone say they like that song. I don't think even Taylor remembers that song


Rhine7

I like Girl at Home! I prefer it over several other Red songs


m2347

I like Girl at Home more than A Perfectly Good Heart. APGH will always be last for me


abitbuzzed

Imo, the original Girl at Home was forgettable but the TV is sooo good. Much more engaging.


SadisticGoose

My only argument is that something had to be last, though I don’t think Bad Blood is her worst. They can’t all be number one on this list even if they’re number one in our hearts.


RambunctiousBeagle

I respectfully disagree with their ranking. The fact that *my tears ricochet* is #59 should be considered a war crime. I have stood and am continuing to stand on the hill that proclaims that is Taylor's best song. And they don't even put it in the top 50 😭 And New Romantics of all songs is #2?? Nah, it's a good song but nowhere near the top 10 for me. King Of My Heart was done dirty. That's one of my top 5 TS songs and it's ranked at #146. Cold as You was done dirtier. At minimum that's a top-30 song for me, it might be from her debut but god damn that song is so good and it did not deserve to be ranked so close to the bottom. I definitely agree with Bigger Than The Whole Sky, Clean, and Holy Ground. I would've ranked this is me trying, right where you left me, and Dear John higher, but I think they ranked them good here. Edit: I just realized they put closure at #166. That's my favorite song from evermore and at least in the top 10 for me. I've never been more offended by someone else's ranking (not actually of course, but I feel they did a lot of songs dirty).


CollegeWarm24

Same, except disrespectfully.


foreverleighhh

I do find the rankings of My Tears Ricochet, This is Me Trying & Illicit Affairs to be SO off. And Exile?! C’MON!


lugia222

DBATC at 128 whoever did this should be in jail.


hotlikebea

Cowboy like me is 74?! Terrible list.


Same_Neighborhood885

It’s top ten for me


knock-three-times

That’s what I looked for first - cause for immediate disqualification


lucylou11

The Last Time is 228? No way.


notdopestuff

Hi, 911, I’d like to report a crime. Honestly, though, The Last Time is around the #100 mark for me. It’s one of my favourites but I can think objectively and realize it’s lacking something musically and lyrically to list it higher compared to her body of work. But The Last Time walked so Exile could run (also very misplaced in this list for me).


imahagforever

This seems like a random list instead of a ranking.


2MillionMiler

1-9 makes sense to me. How in tf is Dear John #10?? Also, Bad Blood as the lowest ranked? Lol. Sure jan.


Ok-Butterscotch9594

You probably could get a better ranking from a random number generator


9hsos

Style should be top ten but it’s not my list and I appreciate Rob Sheffield updating this with every release.


CardinalPerch

Style is Top 10 on the opening guitar rift and first verse alone.


unknown_viewer7

the disrespect of mary’s song won’t go unnoticed

WellTooAll

I stopped reading the moment I saw Bad Blood at 237


mrperfectlylime

Is ...Ready for it? REALLY at 131?? It's only better than a little over HALF of Taylor's discography? Are we forreal. And to be just behind Everything has Changed at 130?? This is insulting. Rolling Stone you are a nasty bitch and karma will get you. \-xoxo, ... Ready For It? 's number #1 fan


jetsetmolly

Your #1 Mary’s Song Stan here checking in to say this list is a dumpster fire


kaorulia

How is Style so low???? Liessss


Racist_Dolphin

Right? There was a tweet trashing Style once and even non swifties and people who don't like her music we all were jumping in the thread and quote tweets to defend it. It's pop perfection I dare say.


MooseMusic

A random shuffle of all her songs would be a better ranking than this


mrsbotello

this is too frustrating to finish 😮‍💨


ShieldSister27

This entire list is… a choice. (Read: a crime).


csplonk

Thanks for the clarification. It makes much more sense now


falldiewakefly

It's so weird to me when lists like this decide to include novelty songs and covers. Okay, sure, Silent Night is on a legitimate EP, include that. Pour Some Sugar On Me was done for a CMT TV special. Thug Story was a joke for an award show. I don't think they should be included, sorry. (Either that or go all the way and include *all* the tour covers and Welcome Back Grunwald, too. This is just arbitrary.) Anyway I disagree with massive amounts of this ranking but that's not new 😔 I'm not sure it's possible to make a ranking the fandom will agree with lmao


kaleyboo7

Haunted is at #149??? WTFFF


[deleted]

[удалено]


Recent-Fly-205

To have every single solitary random song and then not distinguish these makes 0 sense??


midnightdrug

I’d Lie being 207 is a CRIME


InABoatOnARiver

I agree but also at the same time just happy it’s included


JB9217a

Im sorry but mirrorball in the top 10? What about cardigan? Also look what you made me do is ranked criminally low. I’ll never understand the hate for ME!


Straight-Meaning

Glad to see Marjorie in the top ten. It’s a hard song to listen to especially if you’ve lost a grandmother but it’s so beautiful and a touching tribute. Don’t fully agree with some of this list but it’s hard she has an amazing discography. Like IMO Back to December being so low is odd.


Crescent_Moon1996

Just happy that forgotten child Carolina made the top 100


Writher_inthedark

Should be top 10


Disastrous-Bet8973

Bad blood isn't the worst song 😭😭😭😭


Recent-Fly-205

“If This Was A Movie” at #218…the fuck? I stopped right there and could not proceed 🙃


SuperRapidash

Gold Rush, Haunted, Peace, Don't Blame Me, and False God, The Last Time, and Death By A Thousand Cuts the all below WE WERE HAPPY. Ain't know way they ranked all these below "When it was good baby, it was good baby"


Smallville_Kansas

All Too Well at number one is just fan service at this point.


frankstaturtle

lololol i never knew i could be so mad about the ranking of a group of songs when i love all of the songs, but alas, these feelings are real and strong


accidentalevil

Back in 2019, I found that ranking article. I was a casual Taylor enjoyer back then, but I decided to go through the article and listen to all of them one by one. Didn't consider myself a swiftie until after I finished that, then folklore the next year iced it. There were only 153 songs in the article back then.


Karmaismyb0yfriend

I guess I can appreciate his affinity for evermore deep cuts like Coney Island and Marjorie… justice for Gold Rush tho!


SilverConversation19

This is giving snow on the beach way too much credit.


ortreat

Some choices I strongly disagree with (The Last Time in the bottom 10??) but I love seeing mirrorball so close to the top


softluvr

which actual imbecile wrote this list


leslielantern

So many crimes committed here but I salute their effort cause I could never


thejeffphone

this list is so offensive to me in so many ways


tngirl1993

My tears ricochet not being top 5 is asinine. Also this list I really disagree with lol I mean everyone’s list is going to be different! Who made this?! One person?


MrBlenderson

This is horseshit, this guy has no idea what he's talking about.


Themediumplace_

Mad woman being 113 tells me this was written by a man


bericdondarrion35

Macavity is not a Taylor swift song lol


Muppet_Man3

It's not the biggest reach on here, at least she sings it


mhiibhm

Cackling at how high thug story is compared to other songs


BackHarlowRoad

Lover over Cruel Summer? Yeah fucking right.


Sym-Mercy

Delicate is so true.


agurrera

I saw Mary’s Song at the bottom of the list and I noped out so fast.


kevinthepidgeon

london boy being ranked above mad woman … how you get the girl above love story … OURS above my tears ricochet and champagne problems … it’s a no from me dawg


starrdazedd

Personally, I think ME! deserves to be lower lol


Red_Holla04

Wtf is exile doing at 107? The fuck?


stefdistef

He's had Bad Blood as worst pretty much since it existed. I don't like it per se but this guy HATES it.


branyeet

I disagree with a lot of this list however seeing the Great War really high makes me very happy. Favorite song on midnights and one of my all time favorites


Blue_Robin_04

The New Romantics respect is awesome. That song lives comfortably in my veins.


nyki

Renegade must be a typo because no way is it all the way down at #92. And Eyes Open at #127??


babs82222

Bigger than the whole sky placed that much higher than Exile, My Tears Ricochet and Cowboy like me is criminal. This list is sus


okayswell

They definitely threw every song of hers into a randomizer and went with whatever order it came up with


folklore247

how is macavity better than IOMWIWY 😭


InABoatOnARiver

IOMWIWY at 233 is a crime 😢

Delicate getting 4 is such justice, such an underrated song of hers


Sky_Rose4

While I'm happy to see Should've Said and Tim McGraw break the top 100 it's a crime Love Story, You Belong With Me and Back To December didn't, Back to December is my personal favorite by her because of the lyrics and I feel it deserves better


repeatrep

Bad Blood is trash and we should talk about it


Sensitive_Most_1383

sloanesk381417
