Rep is my favorite album, and I admit that it’s partially because of where I was when it came out, and also because it’s the album where I rediscovered Taylor, since I missed Red and 1989. Didn’t know anything about the drama/narrative of that time, but I loved how the album was angry and scathing but also vulnerable. Love the video and you; no real qualms about Rep’s place at the bottom. Just adding to the algorithm and spreading some love for the OG black and white album.

The true reason the debut isn’t on the ranking is because she’s so high above the others that she can’t be seen

WE LOVE TO SEE YOU BACK!!! i love your ranking videos; for a future ranking, could you do a ranking of all of taylor’s solo-written songs? just to prove to the haters she can write her own songs :)

omg! good idea. people really like the ranking and those are really easy for me

Woo! Speak Now getting appreciation, it’s my personal favorite from her, and the Taylor’s Version I’m most excited but also worried for. If done right I think it will be the best of the tvs, but if not it could be the worst. In terms of vault tracks I really hope she makes Battle Let’s Go rock out a bit more, that maybe what that song needs.

Possible video ideas: - ranking of opening tracks - ranking of tours - ranking of album covers - top 10 Taylor live performances - reworking different tracklists - TS10 predictions Love your videos!!!

I made every album into only 13 songs! It's a fun challenge, especially once you pull from the vault too! I respect but also "Taylor Swift's “Lover” has now surpassed 3.9 billion streams on Spotify. It's her most streamed album on the platform." Even if the singles were whack and the era was not cohesive, Lover is a bop. She's no 1989 or folklore performance-wise, but that's the problem with insane success - it makes almost everything else look like a flop. Even when it's still miles ahead of everyone else. I absolutely love my 13 track version of Lover.

Suggestion for a video: rank albums based on the first five tracks (fearless-white horse, mine-dear John etc.) only using those five tracks as though they were the only songs on the album, not looking at any other songs on said album.

did not know i needed this video but i did. and you convinced me with everything you said even though you put my favorite album folklore in the bottom

@@theswiftologist Yes, folklore is objectively her best album. I’m taking into account not just the album itself, but the *way* it was released. The surprise drop, the fact that she released music in the middle of 2020, when everyone was still reeling from the pandemic (less than a year after her previous album), the long pond session, the 2021 Grammy’s performance. The way that no one can listen to folklore and honestly still believe she’s not a serious artist. The record breaking 3rd AOTY Grammy. The way it felt like she had finally returned to making the music that she really wanted to make. As a body of work, it’s a career highlight, but taking the context around the release into account, it’s a legacy cementing, cultural reset, surpassing that of Red, 1989 and Reputation. She deserves better than the bottom of the pyramid.

I have plenty of issues with Lover--it's cheesy, it's disorganized, it's too long, its politics are shallow--but I'm so shocked that you found it inauthentic! Every song on that album, from Me! and London Boy to Paper Rings and SYGB does feel to me like it's exploring some form of love in a quintessentially Taylor way. I do think IFTYE and YNTCD are weaker moments on the album and weaker songs (in my very subjective emotional gay experience) than even a lot of her early work, but I can see how they were attempts to manage her image and reroute her career--from the snake to the butterfly. It honestly reminds me a lot of Red (though I do really prefer Red's worst songs to Lover's worst songs.) Loved this video though I clearly emphatically disagree with all your rankings lol, your opinions were really interesting and well-expressed!

Maybe (?) unpopular opinion: I think 1989 is more closely connected to reputation than it is to red, and reputation is more linked to 1989 than it is to lover (mainly stylistically)

the way my jaw dropped when i saw where you put folklore lmao

It would need someone else to help you set it up, but I think it would be fun if you tried to guess which song charted higher between two; Some are absolutely crazy. You also could do a reaction to the 6 Taylor swift mega fans try and find the secret hater video on KZread. It is pretty fun and you could answer all the questions they ask each other and guess every time they do. Lastly I'd love a video on her unreleased songs, it's hard to figure out which ones are actually worth checking out as most sources basically just say they are all incredible, even tho that is blatantly false.

fun ideas!!

9:38 how is Red chaotic? Many songs have a similar vibe/sound: - all too well - nothing new - sad beautiful tragic - everything has changed - run - begin again - I almost do - the last time - better man - come back be here etc… Very sad, soft and heartbroken. The only songs that sound of place are the ones that are very pop sounding: - 22 - I Knew You Were Trouble - WANEGBT - Message in a Bottle - The Very First Night Personally, Speak Now is very chaotic. You have super country with Mean, rock songs such as Haunted, Story of Us, BTR, etc, soft songs like Last Kiss, country pop with Mine, it was kinda all over the place 😅

I was agreeing with your rankings so much and then folklore was revealed 💔 your reasoning does make sense though!

Video idea: all the legal considerations and obstacles Tay's team has to go through to produce and release the rerecords, especially given the recent SN trademark news

I can’t find your video where you critique Lover. Can you link it? I love Lover. I rank it at number 3 (tied with Reputation) so I’m definitely interested in hearing your thoughts.

You have very valid reasons for why the albums are where they are. You don't just bash them. I actually can fathem your reasoning even though I love them all😊

You should do an updated video of this ❤❤❤

Will you do this video updated after we’ve had Midnights??? All tho, I think I have an idea and especially where reputation will be placed haha

Hi!! How would you rank Midnights?

The way our opinions are so different xD Reputation is my favourite album with it, in my opinion, being timeless and still feeling very modern, and it's the most iconic comback I have seen. Red is one of my last in the ranking; it has a lot of songs which don't really feel like their own, to me it feels like a lot of the red songs have a lack of their own personality.

1) lover 2) rep 3) speak now 4) folklore 5) midnights 6) 1989 7) fearless 8) red 9) evermore 10) debut

FOLKLORE IS HER BEST ALBUM! 😭😭😭

with Rep TV likely being recorded in 2023, 7 years after rep and without Max Martin - it's gonna be BAD

Where's debut?

yeah...so this one is gonna be controversial. 10th - debut (2006) like you said, its the hardest to rank. 9th - reputation (2017) songs like lwymmd, ...ready for it, end game, so it goes..., REALLY downplay this album. not to mention the production is either a hit or miss. 8th - evermore (2021) never listened to it, so i cant really rank it. 7th - folklore (2020) LOVE this album, but Taylor has done better. 6th - fearless (2008, taylor's version 2021) i think besides songs like hey stephen and your not sorry, this album is pretty good, but it feels a little outdated. 5th - lover (2019) this album is overhated, and FOR WHAT? i think if you put it's nice to have a friend on folklore, remove ME! and you need to calm down, then this would be more appreciated. 4th - midnights (2022) this album is like a mix of her previous albums. if lover, reputation, and folklore had a baby, then this album would be that baby. 3rd - speak now (2010) songs like enchanted, mean, mine, sparks fly, the story of us, better than revenge, haunted, dear john are what carry this album so MUCH! a BIG step up from fearless. 2nd - red (2012) i think this album transcends more into her pop facade. we got songs like 22, wanegbt, red, starlight, the very first night, babe, message in a bottle, the lucky one, holy ground. AND THIS ALBUM HAS OF THE BEST SONGS IN HER DISCOGRAPHY: ALL TOO WELL. 1st - 1989 (2014) you saw this coming. 1989 is the best example of pop perfection. songs like i wish you would, out of the woods, clean, blank space, shake it off, bad blood, how you get the girl, new romantics, wonderland, style. basically all of the songs are good. and even the bonus tracks are amazing, tho i do think new romantics should've been a single hands down. i think this album is one of the best in her discography, and one of the best pop albums of 2010's. this album showcases taylor's talents the most effectively (imo), and the production SLAPS on this album. so if blackout is britney spears' magnum opus, 1989 is taylor swift's magnum opus.

*ranks lover at bottom* bye I admit this album has its lowest of lows but the highs are extremely high tier like Cornelia Street, Cruel Summer, Daylight, Afterglow etc.
