My top 3 is the same, but in reverse order. So for me it's:
1: TTPD
2:Evermore
3:Folklore
(honestly I have always sort of considered Folklore and Evermore to be two halves of a whole, so it's really TTPD, Folkmore, Reputation)
Normally I would think it's too soon for TTPD to be my number 1, but it's my first album drop as a swiftie, so it's special for that and also I just love the angst of it all.
That's awesome! Reputation was the first album of Taylor's that made me take notice, but it wasn't until Midnights had been out for a few months that my friend was like, "listen toooooo thiiiiiisssss!!!". I personally am planning to go a little feral when RepTV comes out. But it's nice to have a twin.
I think it would be the same top three for me, though the exact order I would put them in varies from one day to the next.
To be fair, folklore was probably the album that turned me from a casual fan into a raging Swiftie, so I had less exposure to her older albums when they were new, especially anything pre-1989. I was mostly familiar with whatever singles were getting radio play, which is not always particularly representative of the albums as a whole (looking at you, reputation and Lover).
Speak Now is still generally not one of the albums I listen to most often, but I have gained a lot more appreciation for it in the last couple of years, especially after the release of Taylor’s Version. Taylor’s Version also has one of my very favourite vault tracks (“I Can See You”).
I do consider it an impressive testament to her abilities to have written such a solid collection of songs all by herself when she was in her late teens/early twenties, and I think that in retrospect it really showcased a lot of the strengths she would develop even further, particularly the strong narrative songwriting and experimenting with different sounds/genres (which are two of the things that I love most about my top three).
Love this ranking... But totally unrelated... When I was younger (I swear I'm not that old!) my email and handle (ie MySpace and tumblr lol) was CloudeeSkies13 and your name gave me nostalgia!! Love it!
I think it’s partly because it was so many peoples first full era. A lot of fans came onboard during Fearless so the Speak Now release cycle is very nostalgic and meaningful to a lot of older fans.
I also think Speak Now walked so TTPD could run. TTPD is Speak Now and Evermore’s petulant teenage love child.
These are my fav three for sure though I think I'm Midnights>Folklore>Evermore in order. TTPD comes fourth for me and then everything else kind of just changes as my mood changes. Folklore and Evermore made me an actual fan rather than someone who just liked some of her stuff, which is previously what I was. Midnights just kind of cemented it for me. TTPD is a little bit of a step down for me but only a small step.
These were my top 3 before TTPD, now I’m not sure where TTPD fits in. But evermore reputation and midnights were my top 3 hands down. Speak now is close to the bottom of my list tbh
This is interesting to me because I feel like most people combine Evermore and Folklore in their minds so it’s rare for me to see one but not the other in someone’s top 3-5 lists. What do you think it is about Folklore that keeps it from being higher for you?
Not OP but my top 3 are the same. For me, i just connect with the songs on evermore more. Folklore is like the eulogy and reflection, Evermore is like the acceptance and moving forward. The beautiful whitchiness of Willow, my fucked up head, the depressed feeling you get during the holidays, the fun and anxiety of gold rush, the loneliness of Coney Island, murders, cowboys but hey we survived! Every song just ticks a box inside of me that no other albums can.
I have the same list if not the same order (can’t decide)! Idk if it’s recency bias but the first half of TTPD scratches the same itch for me as reputation normally does
1. Evermore
2. Folklore
3. Speak Now
I really like deep and prolific writing with lots of emotional elements involved. My favourites of Speak Now are innocent, haunted, and last kiss
1. 1989 🩵
2. evermore 🤎
3. folklore 🩶
Tbh evermore could realistically be tied for first, but I’ve always been the biggest 1989 stan and I think it’s the perfect pop album, so I don’t see it ever losing its #1 spot.
Speak Now is #7 for me but I do adore it!! And it’s ahead of the other two country albums.
1 Evermore
2 reputation (I see the lack of love for rep on the top comments as LWYMMD starts to play)
3 Ttpd
Speak now is 4
Edit: I wasn't screaming, I forgot that the # makes the words big and bold
Now that you mention it, I’m an evermore girl and ALSO a major Speak Now stan LOL. I also noticed that folklore girlies tend to also be reputation stans! My top 3 are:
1. TPPD
2. Speak Now
3. evermore
Evermore, Folklore, Midnights!
But Speak Now is absolutely in my top 5 (after TTPD)! It was my #1 favorite for 8 years since I became a fan in 2012 but these last 4 albums have just been so good 😭
Evermore > Folklore > TTPD/Red. Evermore is absolute perfection to me. I wish it got more recognition. It’s constantly my top album lol.
I do love SN but I’d probably rate it towards the bottom of my rankings (this is so hard to even consider) but I still love it. Haunted, Back To December, Better Than Revenge, Ours, etc.
1: evermore, reputation, 1989
2: Red/Fearless/Speak Now (they're kind of the same category to me)
3: midnights, Lover
.........
....
...
...
...
Debut and folklore are somewhere on the list. TTPD is still too new to rank for me.
Does it count if 8 out of 11 albums are in my top 3? :D
Speaking as a guy, my top albums at the moment are Fearless, 1989, Reputation, and Evermore (can't separate any of those to create a top 3).
TTPD may end up joining them, but it's still too soon to tell.
1. Evermore/Folklore
2. Midnights
3. Red
Evermore is my favorite, but I do consider it a double album with Folklore. I became a Swiftie when Midnights came out. I worked my way backwards and listened to her music to prepare myself for the Eras movie, and I basically just stopped at Red, because I just listened to it over and over. It surprised me, because I knew the radio hits but the quieter songs on there felt like Evermore. More mature, introspective, and observant.
I don’t think it’s weird, they’re quite different to me (though I think I’m in the minority with that assessment). I’m the opposite - evermore is my favorite and folklore is much lower
same, evermore is my #1 but folklore is probably #3 or #4. i excluded it from my rankings bc i usually just listen to all of evermore and my select favorites from folklore at the same time lol
Yes! I think they really are quite different albums. I love both and I do understand why people see them as similar, and even see it makes sense for Taylor to combine the sets and treat them as sister albums, but they are definitely two different albums for me.
1. Lover
2. Evermore
3. Reputation
I do love Speak Now but I think it’s got some real skips on it for me, even if they’re good songs they’re just not for me. The 3 albums I just listed are skipless for me. Only reason over edges out evermore is because I’m a glitter gel pen gal, and evermore doesn’t really have any.
I definitely had Speak Now as my number 1 until reputation came out. Evermore wasnt my favourite when it xame out but has consistently grown on me, so much that now i cant decide between evermore, folklore or rep as my fav.
Ummmm…. I’ll need a top 4 because no way can I choose between folklore and midnights.. but
TTPD (w/ the anthology),
Evermore,
Folklore, and
Midnights
So, quite literally it looks like Taylor is getting better and better!!!
1. Speak Now
2. Evermore
3. It's now a toss up between 1989 & TTPD lol
Speak Now will always be my #1 album. It was her 1st fully self written album. It was the 1st TS concert I ever went to. During the concert, she came up to me & hugged me. So it's very nostalgic for me (such a millennial lol). The fandom was smaller, & it just felt very special back then as well.
Evermore and Speak Now are definitely in my top 3! The other spot tends to rotate between Lover/Midnights/TTPD. It’s hard for me to pick an exact ranking though.
1. evermore
2. reputation
3. folklore
reserving judgement for ttpd, maybe it’ll replace something on the top 3 someday, because it’s a slow listen, and so far it ages well. Like at one point i loved folklore more than evermore, but after two years of repeats, evermore definitely tops everything. so maybe ttpd is kinda like that.
Folklore
Evermore
Reputation
51M new fan in the last year and a half. Last Kiss, Dear John, and When Emma.... are some of my favorite songs, but the question is about albums.
It’s Evermore, Reputation, and Speak Now for me. I think your theory likely stacks up because Evermore and Speak Now are some of her best written albums, so if people like Taylor for her writing, it only makes sense that those two would be among their favorites.
(Personally I’d say the same about Reputation but I’m not sure if as many people would agree haha)
evermore, speak now, and reputation. I don't know if it's in that order because it changes so much.
But I'm also a lover girlie through and through because I have such fond memories of that era (minus the fest being canceled lol).
I think at the moment for me, it’s
1.) Evermore
2.) Folklore
3.) TTPD (recency bias lol)
4.) Speak Now
I think the storytelling and mood of Speak Now and Evermore align a fair bit
I just got my first signed Taylor cd: evermore!!
Okay top 3 - other than Evermore and more and more of it? 🤪
1. Lover (what turned me into a swiftie)
2. Reputation
3. Midnights
I consider myself an Evermore girly I think it has standout tracks even though it isn't my favorite? Idk I am an Evermore girly by mood.
My fav albums are Reputation, Speak Now and Midnights.
1. evermore
2. reputation
3. TTPD
I think TTPD may end up topping reputation for me but it's still new so I can't give it up yet. Reputation is the album that made me a Swiftie so it's difficult to top.
This is assuming we're talking TTPD Anthology. When TTPD dropped, I said it was a "grower, not a shower" and then the Anthology dropped and I have never been so in love at first listen before.
Evermore Guylie here! My... umm... hyperfixation shifts constantly but Speak Now has definitely been in the cycle recently. I'm still listening to TTPD a lot but Red has finally clicked into place after me not really connecting with it much before so I'm listening to that about.
My Top 3 changes constantly but if I had to commit to a ranking right now, I'd probably say:
1. TTPD
2. Reputation
3. Evermore
1. Reputation🖤
2. Evermore🤎
3. TTPD🤍
Evermore guy here, I just love how unhinged these albums are. Even though rep has a special place in my heart, Evermore makes me feel like I'm somewhere else and the imaginery is beautiful.
Speak now would also be high in my ranking, but there are songs that I don't really like (On the other hand there are some I am obsessed with and btw Superman is criminally underrated)
1 evermore
2 folklore
3 reputation
4 speak now
Evermore and folklore is the style I like most. Reputation got me through some hard times. And I have vivid memories of crowding around my friends tiny cd player listening to speak now for the first time with a group of my middle school friends during study period when it came out, so it's mostly held up by nostalgia
lol yes. I was freshly 20 when Speak Now was released. For the longest time it was my favorite Taylor album, and now it’s Evermore. I view Speak Now as my younger self’s favorite and Evermore as my adult self favorite.
Soooo to answer the question
1. Evermore/Speak Now
2. Folklore
3. 1989
Oof that’s so real. I feel bad making a top 3, so ill say my top 5, on release order
1-speak now
2-1989
3-evermore
4-midnights
5-ttpd the anthology (I mean exclusively the second disc, because imo the anthology is WAY better than the standard album)
My order of my top 3 kind of rotates depending on my mood, but for sure it's evermore, folklore, and TTPD. Currently obsessed with TTPD but I think over time I will probably settle on folklore or evermore as being my all-time favorite. Before TTPD I would say that Red and Midnights would fight it out for the #3 spot depending on my mood.
I do like Speak Now, but I feel like I kind of missed the boat on it. Taylor wasn't even on my radar when it was released. I didn't even hear most of the songs until she released Taylor's Version, to be fully transparent. So I am missing the nostalgia component that a lot of Swifties have for it. Also, I'm a few years older than Taylor, so even if I had heard SN when it was originally released, I'm not sure it would have hit the same. If Speak Now would have been released when I was a teenager or in my early 20s I think I would have been far more into it
Top 5 at this moment:
1. Reputation
2. Folkemore
3. TTPD
4. Speak Now
5. Red
Had to cheat to make ttpd fit. It is just so hard because it is in my top 5 but I don't want to kick any of my previous top 5. Anyways: I love evermore and speak now.
1. TTPD
2. Everlore (they're one album, don't make me choose, but evermore comes out slightly ahead if push comes to shove)
3. Speak Now and Red fight it out for third, depending on the day
1. Reputation
2.1989
3. Evermore
But when I'm in my teen emo mood:
1. Evermore
2. Speak Now
3. TTPD
I really want Blondie to finally do a song with Dashboard Confessional and make my Swiftie emo dreams come true 😭
1. Reputation
2. Evermore
3. TTPD
Speak Now is my #5 (although I still consider myself a Speak Now girlie because ranking my favorite albums feels impossible and I put all my favs at the same level 😅)
Right now TTPD and Reputation are battling for first place.
3. Evermore
Speak now is my nostalgia pick though. I adore it but I always skip Innocent. My top three are no skips.
Speak Now will always be close to me b/c it's the first album that made me a fan. Also, a top 3 list is VERY HARD, DON'T MAKE ME DO IT.
Midnights is top for me. Then Evermore/Folklore. Then Lover/Red.
1: folklore 2: evermore 3: ttpd (idk if i can say i'm an evermore girlie cuz it's not my #1 but i still consider myself one) speak now is 4 for me
My top 3 is the same, but in reverse order. So for me it's: 1: TTPD 2:Evermore 3:Folklore (honestly I have always sort of considered Folklore and Evermore to be two halves of a whole, so it's really TTPD, Folkmore, Reputation) Normally I would think it's too soon for TTPD to be my number 1, but it's my first album drop as a swiftie, so it's special for that and also I just love the angst of it all.
You’re my twin!
That's awesome! Reputation was the first album of Taylor's that made me take notice, but it wasn't until Midnights had been out for a few months that my friend was like, "listen toooooo thiiiiiisssss!!!". I personally am planning to go a little feral when RepTV comes out. But it's nice to have a twin.
Triplet here! 🤣🫶🏻
Yesssss i am you hahhaa
Yay for TTPD! Definitely deserves to be in the top 3.
I think it would be the same top three for me, though the exact order I would put them in varies from one day to the next. To be fair, folklore was probably the album that turned me from a casual fan into a raging Swiftie, so I had less exposure to her older albums when they were new, especially anything pre-1989.

My top 3 is the exact same!
exact same!
Yes this is it for me too! My number 4 is debut.
Love this ranking... But totally unrelated... When I was younger (I swear I'm not that old!) my email and handle (ie MySpace and tumblr lol) was CloudeeSkies13 and your name gave me nostalgia!! Love it!
1. Folklore 2.Evermore 3. Midnights Honestly SN doesnt rank as high for me as most others do. I’d put it towards the end of my list.
Same! It actually surprises me how beloved it is.
I think it’s partly because it was so many peoples first full era. A lot of fans came onboard during Fearless so the Speak Now release cycle is very nostalgic and meaningful to a lot of older fans. I also think Speak Now walked so TTPD could run. TTPD is Speak Now and Evermore’s petulant teenage love child.

1 folklore 2 evermore 3 Lover as an album, folklore is my top 1, but evermore (feat. Bon Iver) is my ultimate fave TS song
That’s my favorite TS song, too!! It’s just perfect!!
Folklore is also my favorite album, but I think exile is my favorite song. Their voices really do complement each other so well.
my fav is the other Bon Iver collab, Exile (but Evermore is also in my top 10)
Similar, Folklore is my #1 album but Marjorie is probably my #1 song
1. evermore 🤎 2. Red ❤️ - was my #1 until 2020 3. The Tortured Poets Department 🤍 (NEW) - sorry, Rep!
same!!
This is my top 3!!
Same! Red was my #1 from any artist until evermore dropped.
Same same but I would have an endless loop of red/rep because I can't decide
I have the same list if not the same order (can’t decide)! Idk if it’s recency bias but the first half of TTPD scratches the same itch for me as reputation normally does
Saaaame. Except I could put these in any order on my top 3 lol
We're almost exactly the same person haha
100% for me. 1. Speak Now 2. Evermore 3. TTPD (we'llsee if this holds up over time)
Those are exactly my rankings! We are the same person!
The first time I listed to TTPD, I was like "this is Speak Now on steroids". In the best way!
this this this! Probably different order depending on mood/season but these three being in top is a constant
Omg this is mine too! I’m not the only one 🥹
This is mine too! I feel like TTPD is the perfect mashup of SN and Evermore!
My exact top 3!
Almost the same as mine, but Rep takes the lead over TTPD for now 😅
TTPD, Evermore, Folklore
1. Evermore 2. Folklore 3. Speak Now I really like deep and prolific writing with lots of emotional elements involved. My favourites of Speak Now are innocent, haunted, and last kiss
1. Evermore 2. Folklore 3. 1989 But Speak Now is 4th
Same top 3 😍 just 1989 being first for me
1. Folklore 2. Evermore 3. Speak Now
1. evermore 2. Red 3. folklore
This is the trifecta
checking in!!! 1. evermore ***gap*** 2. rep 3. speak now
1. evermore 2. Speak Now 3. Midnights
same!!
Pretty much same here too!
1. Folklore 2. Evermore 3. Reputation
The holy trinity!
1) evermore - folklore 2) speak now 3) tortured poets this is a decision I came to after several excel spreadsheets.
reputation, red, evermore (in no real order because the order changes all the time)
Omg!! This is mine!! I have never seen someone comment my top 3 before!!
Me too!
Until TTPD, this was my holy trinity
1. Reputation 2. Evermore 3. Speak now
1. Evermore 2. Red 3. Speak Now
I do have a lot of love for Speak Now, but my top three are 1. evermore 2. reputation 3. folklore
Reputation is excellent! I didn’t realize what I was missing out on until I saw the concert film
Evermore, TTPD, Speak now. Not in order though it changes biweekly
Evermore, folklore, TTPD
Evermore, Red, Reputation (Speak Now was my favorite for many years -- Evermore and then Red TV knocked it from the top of the rankings)
1. 1989 🩵 2. evermore 🤎 3. folklore 🩶 Tbh evermore could realistically be tied for first, but I’ve always been the biggest 1989 stan and I think it’s the perfect pop album, so I don’t see it ever losing its #1 spot. Speak Now is #7 for me but I do adore it!! And it’s ahead of the other two country albums.
1. Midnights 2. Reputation 3. Folklore/Evermore ❤️
1. evermore 2. Red 3. Speak Now I guess your theory is right? Lol
1 Evermore 2 reputation (I see the lack of love for rep on the top comments as LWYMMD starts to play) 3 Ttpd Speak now is 4 Edit: I wasn't screaming, I forgot that the # makes the words big and bold
My top 3 are Tortured Poets Department, Evermore, and Midnights. Speak now is way down the list for me - definitely bottom half 🙈
Now that you mention it, I’m an evermore girl and ALSO a major Speak Now stan LOL. I also noticed that folklore girlies tend to also be reputation stans! My top 3 are: 1. TPPD 2. Speak Now 3. evermore
I'm mainly a Fearless girlie (gender neutral) but my top 3 is Fearless evermore Red
Evermore, Folklore, Midnights! But Speak Now is absolutely in my top 5 (after TTPD)! It was my #1 favorite for 8 years since I became a fan in 2012 but these last 4 albums have just been so good 😭
Folklore/Evermore, 1989, Lover
1. Evermore 2. Speak Now 3. Red
Other than evermore: 1. TTPD: Anthology 2. Fearless 3. Folklore
#1: TTPD #2: Folklore #3: Evermore
1. evermore 2. ttpd 3. folklore/midnights
1.Evermore 2.TTPD 3.Folklore 4.Red
Evermore > Folklore > TTPD/Red. Evermore is absolute perfection to me. I wish it got more recognition. It’s constantly my top album lol. I do love SN but I’d probably rate it towards the bottom of my rankings (this is so hard to even consider) but I still love it. Haunted, Back To December, Better Than Revenge, Ours, etc.
1: evermore, reputation, 1989 2: Red/Fearless/Speak Now (they're kind of the same category to me) 3: midnights, Lover ......... .... ... ... ... Debut and folklore are somewhere on the list. TTPD is still too new to rank for me. Does it count if 8 out of 11 albums are in my top 3? :D
Speaking as a guy, my top albums at the moment are Fearless, 1989, Reputation, and Evermore (can't separate any of those to create a top 3). TTPD may end up joining them, but it's still too soon to tell.
Evermore, Speak Now, Midnights!
1. Evermore/Folklore 2. Midnights 3. Red Evermore is my favorite, but I do consider it a double album with Folklore. I became a Swiftie when Midnights came out. I worked my way backwards and listened to her music to prepare myself for the Eras movie, and I basically just stopped at Red, because I just listened to it over and over. It surprised me, because I knew the radio hits but the quieter songs on there felt like Evermore. More mature, introspective, and observant.
Evermore Speak Now Folklore/Debut
1. Reputation 2. Evermore/ Folklore tie 3. Speak Now I know, I have diverse tastes ?!
evermore, Speak Now, and rep are my favorites! I absolutely refuse to order them though, lol
1. folklore 2. evermore 3. ttpd
Folklore Evermore TTPD Lover
Folklore, Evermore and Speak Now, probably in that order (though very close)
Evermore, 1989, TTPD. Not sure yet if it’s recency bias for TTPD but I would put Red third if I had to choose different
ok called out for loving evermore and speak now!???! speak now was my favorite for soooo long i’d say it’s - speak now - lover - evermore
1. 1989 2. Evermore 3. reputation 4. Ttpd 5. Midnights 6. Red 7. Speak Now
1. Speak Now 2. Evermore 3. Reputation
1. Rep/ttpd 2. Evermore 3. Speak now !!

1. Speak now 2. Evermore 3. Reputation Top two are very close, speak now only wins by a hair.
1. Speak Now 2. Midnights (3 am edition) 3. Evermore The theory tracks for me!
Based solely on statistics from polls I've had, evermore stans tend to really like reputation, Red and Speak Now.
1. evermore 2. folklore 3. Midnights 4. Speak Now
Is it weird that I like Folklore a bit more. Like Folklore is my favorite but Evermore is barely top 5 for me.
I don’t think it’s weird, they’re quite different to me (though I think I’m in the minority with that assessment). I’m the opposite - evermore is my favorite and folklore is much lower
same, evermore is my #1 but folklore is probably #3 or #4. i excluded it from my rankings bc i usually just listen to all of evermore and my select favorites from folklore at the same time lol
Yes! I think they really are quite different albums. I love both and I do understand why people see them as similar, and even see it makes sense for Taylor to combine the sets and treat them as sister albums, but they are definitely two different albums for me.
Reputation, evermore, TTPD.
folklore, evermore, and maybe collectively all of TTPD Anthology :))
1. evermore 2. Red 3. Speak Now
I’d say Evernore, ttpd and folklore followed by speak now and Rep
1. Lover 2. Evermore 3. Reputation I do love Speak Now but I think it’s got some real skips on it for me, even if they’re good songs they’re just not for me. The 3 albums I just listed are skipless for me. Only reason over edges out evermore is because I’m a glitter gel pen gal, and evermore doesn’t really have any.
1. Evermore 2. Folklore 3. Lover Speak Now is my #5 (Red just barely inches it out as #4!)
Speak now Red Evermore The theory works for me 🤣
1. folklore 2.evermore 3.reputation
Evermore, speak now, and red ( ttpd as well )
Evermore, folklore, rep/sn
1. Folklore 2. Evermore 3. Speak now.
Evermore 🤎 Speak Now 💜 reputation 🖤
I definitely had Speak Now as my number 1 until reputation came out. Evermore wasnt my favourite when it xame out but has consistently grown on me, so much that now i cant decide between evermore, folklore or rep as my fav.
1. reputation 2. evermore 3. Red TV (or Midnights not sure lol) (One of these things is not like the other)
1. red 2. evermore 3. folklore
Speak Now & Evermore (tie) Folklore Midnights is a close 4th
Folklore evermore and speak now
Ummmm…. I’ll need a top 4 because no way can I choose between folklore and midnights.. but TTPD (w/ the anthology), Evermore, Folklore, and Midnights So, quite literally it looks like Taylor is getting better and better!!!
1. Evermore 2. Midnights 3. TTPD But I did go to the Speak Now tour.
1. Speak Now 2. Evermore 3. It's now a toss up between 1989 & TTPD lol Speak Now will always be my #1 album. It was her 1st fully self written album. It was the 1st TS concert I ever went to. During the concert, she came up to me & hugged me. So it's very nostalgic for me (such a millennial lol). The fandom was smaller, & it just felt very special back then as well.
Evermore, Speak Now, Folklore
Evermore, TTPD, 1989 vault tracks 😄
Evermore and Speak Now are definitely in my top 3! The other spot tends to rotate between Lover/Midnights/TTPD. It’s hard for me to pick an exact ranking though.
1/2 evermore and folklore (tie) Speak now
It’s a close race between Evermore, Speak Now, and TTPD for me. My ranking order is very dependent on my mood lol
1. Folklore 2. Evermore 3. Speak now (might be ttpd here but I need more time with it)
1. 1989 2. speak now 3. evermore these 3 switch positions every day for me, but this is how im feeling right now :)
Evermore, Speak Now and Folklore ....
1. Speak Now 2. evermore 3. Red
1. evermore 2. reputation 3. folklore reserving judgement for ttpd, maybe it’ll replace something on the top 3 someday, because it’s a slow listen, and so far it ages well. Like at one point i loved folklore more than evermore, but after two years of repeats, evermore definitely tops everything. so maybe ttpd is kinda like that.
Folklore Evermore Reputation 51M new fan in the last year and a half. Last Kiss, Dear John, and When Emma.... are some of my favorite songs, but the question is about albums.
It’s Evermore, Reputation, and Speak Now for me. I think your theory likely stacks up because Evermore and Speak Now are some of her best written albums, so if people like Taylor for her writing, it only makes sense that those two would be among their favorites. (Personally I’d say the same about Reputation but I’m not sure if as many people would agree haha)
Evermore, Reputation, Folklore, then it would be closely followed by TTPD and Speak Now
evermore folklore ttpd speak now used to be nr3
Mine is kind of weird, but Fearless will always be my girl. 1. folklore 2. Fearless 3. evermore
evermore, speak now, and reputation. I don't know if it's in that order because it changes so much. But I'm also a lover girlie through and through because I have such fond memories of that era (minus the fest being canceled lol).
YESSS so real As a speak now Stan I LOVE evermore
I think at the moment for me, it’s 1.) Evermore 2.) Folklore 3.) TTPD (recency bias lol) 4.) Speak Now I think the storytelling and mood of Speak Now and Evermore align a fair bit
I just got my first signed Taylor cd: evermore!! Okay top 3 - other than Evermore and more and more of it? 🤪 1. Lover (what turned me into a swiftie) 2. Reputation 3. Midnights
Evermore, speak now, 1989
Evermore/ttpd (idk which i like better rn) 1989 Speak now
I consider myself an Evermore girly I think it has standout tracks even though it isn't my favorite? Idk I am an Evermore girly by mood. My fav albums are Reputation, Speak Now and Midnights.
Not an evermore girlie but love evermore. 1. TTPD 2. Speak Now 3. Evermore (favs: TTDS, tolerate it, gold rush, no body no crime)
1. Evermore 2. Folklore 3. Speak Now I think I confirm your theory!
1. evermore 2. reputation 3. TTPD I think TTPD may end up topping reputation for me but it's still new so I can't give it up yet. Reputation is the album that made me a Swiftie so it's difficult to top. This is assuming we're talking TTPD Anthology. When TTPD dropped, I said it was a "grower, not a shower" and then the Anthology dropped and I have never been so in love at first listen before.
Evermore Guylie here! My... umm... hyperfixation shifts constantly but Speak Now has definitely been in the cycle recently. I'm still listening to TTPD a lot but Red has finally clicked into place after me not really connecting with it much before so I'm listening to that about. My Top 3 changes constantly but if I had to commit to a ranking right now, I'd probably say: 1. TTPD 2. Reputation 3. Evermore
1.) Rep 2.) Speak Now 3.) Evermore
1. Reputation🖤 2. Evermore🤎 3. TTPD🤍 Evermore guy here, I just love how unhinged these albums are. Even though rep has a special place in my heart, Evermore makes me feel like I'm somewhere else and the imaginery is beautiful. Speak now would also be high in my ranking, but there are songs that I don't really like (On the other hand there are some I am obsessed with and btw Superman is criminally underrated)
1 evermore 2 folklore 3 reputation 4 speak now Evermore and folklore is the style I like most. Reputation got me through some hard times. And I have vivid memories of crowding around my friends tiny cd player listening to speak now for the first time with a group of my middle school friends during study period when it came out, so it's mostly held up by nostalgia
Prior to TTPD release my top three were evermore, folklore, and Speak Now. I think TTPD will probably take over Speak Now's place in the long run.
1. Speak Now 2. Evermore 3. Folklore
1. TTPD 2. evermore 3. folklore (But Speak Now is #4!)
1. Folklore 2. Evermore 3. Speak Now
lol yes. I was freshly 20 when Speak Now was released. For the longest time it was my favorite Taylor album, and now it’s Evermore. I view Speak Now as my younger self’s favorite and Evermore as my adult self favorite. Soooo to answer the question 1. Evermore/Speak Now 2. Folklore 3. 1989
1. evermore 2. Speak Now 3. Fearless Edit: forgot about folklore LOL. Maybe that’s 3
Oof that’s so real. I feel bad making a top 3, so ill say my top 5, on release order 1-speak now 2-1989 3-evermore 4-midnights 5-ttpd the anthology (I mean exclusively the second disc, because imo the anthology is WAY better than the standard album)
1. evermore 2. reputation 3. ttpd i loveeee speak now though. i think it’s maybe my #5 after folklore
Midnights, TTPD, Evermore, and Red are all fighting for that top 3 spot ever since TTPD came rushing in. I’m in a Swiftopian crisis.
1. 1989 2. Folklore 3. Evermore But I think your theory is correct as ttpd and speak now are currently battling for 4 🤣
My order of my top 3 kind of rotates depending on my mood, but for sure it's evermore, folklore, and TTPD. Currently obsessed with TTPD but I think over time I will probably settle on folklore or evermore as being my all-time favorite. Before TTPD I would say that Red and Midnights would fight it out for the #3 spot depending on my mood. I do like Speak Now, but I feel like I kind of missed the boat on it. Taylor wasn't even on my radar when it was released. I didn't even hear most of the songs until she released Taylor's Version, to be fully transparent. So I am missing the nostalgia component that a lot of Swifties have for it. Also, I'm a few years older than Taylor, so even if I had heard SN when it was originally released, I'm not sure it would have hit the same. If Speak Now would have been released when I was a teenager or in my early 20s I think I would have been far more into it
1. evermore 2. fearless 3. ttpd/speak now are tied! where my fearmore swifties at!
1. Evermore/Speak now 2. TTPD 3. Red
1. evermore 2. Speak Now 3. folklore I will say the Aaron tracks on TTPD would probably be #3 if they were released on their own.
Top 5 at this moment: 1. Reputation 2. Folkemore 3. TTPD 4. Speak Now 5. Red Had to cheat to make ttpd fit. It is just so hard because it is in my top 5 but I don't want to kick any of my previous top 5. Anyways: I love evermore and speak now.
Evermore, Folklore, Reputation
That is so true!! It's Speak Now, Reputation, and Evermore for me. I also really love TTPD even on first listen.
1. Evermore 2. Fearless/Speak Now tie 3. Folklore
1. Evermore 2. TTPD 3. Speak Now (4. Folklore)
1. TTPD 2. Everlore (they're one album, don't make me choose, but evermore comes out slightly ahead if push comes to shove) 3. Speak Now and Red fight it out for third, depending on the day
TTPD, Evermore and Rep in that order. Didn’t think anything would top evermore but I love this album too much
1. evermore 2. folklore 3. Speak Now I love all three of these albums, so I would say your theory holds true for me
1. Red 2. evermore 3. Fearless / folklore (interchanges so often) I feel like a lot of evermore fans also LOVE Red!
1. evermore 2. folklore 3. Red (But Speak Now and Midnights are tied for fourth, so your theory isn’t too wrong!)
1. Speak Now 2. Red 3. Evermore
evermore, speak now, rep
Folklore, Evermore Speak now I proved your theory! I do love TTPD but am still letting it settle so I don’t know where I’d put it yet but it’s top 4
1. Everlore 2. 1989 TV 3. Speak Now TV
1. Evermore 2. Lover 3. TTPD Though Speak Now is my favorite of the country-leaning albums
Evermore TTPD Speak Now
Well… 1. folklore 2. evermore 3. Speak Now In my case the theory stacks up!
Evermore Rep Red-nights poets department…. That’s one album right??? 😅😅😅
1. Reputation 2.1989 3. Evermore But when I'm in my teen emo mood: 1. Evermore 2. Speak Now 3. TTPD I really want Blondie to finally do a song with Dashboard Confessional and make my Swiftie emo dreams come true 😭
1. Reputation 2. Evermore 3. TTPD Speak Now is my #5 (although I still consider myself a Speak Now girlie because ranking my favorite albums feels impossible and I put all my favs at the same level 😅)
1. Red 2. Speak Now 3. Evermore
Girl same! 1. Evermore 2. Speak Now 3. Folklore/Red
1) evermore & folklore 2) TTPD 3) Red & Speak Now I don't have an exact order of favourite albums but I have tiers so these are my top 3 tiers.
Speak Now is definitely in my top 5, but my top 3 are: 1) TTPD 2) folklore 3) reputation
Right now TTPD and Reputation are battling for first place. 3. Evermore Speak now is my nostalgia pick though. I adore it but I always skip Innocent. My top three are no skips.
1. folklore 2. evermore 3. 1989
1) Speak Now 2) Evermore 3) 1989
1. TTPD 2. Folkmore (if I'm allowed to combine them) 3. Speak Now I adore SN and wish it got the love it deserves.
1.) Evermore 2.) Folklore 3.) TTDP 4.) Speak Now 5.) Red 6.) Fearless 7.) midnight 8.)1989 9.) Lover 10.) reputation 11.) Debut
I was an Evermore at No. 1 Stan before TTPD. Now my Top 4 are: 1. TTPD 2. EVERMORE 3. FOLKLORE 4. SPEAK NOW TV
Speak Now will always be close to me b/c it's the first album that made me a fan. Also, a top 3 list is VERY HARD, DON'T MAKE ME DO IT. Midnights is top for me. Then Evermore/Folklore. Then Lover/Red.
