The Top 13 Taylor Swift Songs
PopSugar

Last week marked 10 years since Taylor Swift's eponymous debut album was released to the world so naturally, I've spent the last week listening to nothing but TSwizzle. Here are my top 10 Taylor Swift songs from the past decade.

13. Better Than Revenge-Speak Now

Favorite lyrics: She looks at life like it's a party and she's on the list/ She looks at me like I'm a trend and she's so over it/I think her ever-present frown is a little troubling/And she thinks I'm psycho 'cause I like to rhyme her name with things

Taylor is a spunky and sassy performer and her songs don't get much sassier and spunkier than this tune, accompanied by some heavy drums and electric guitar in the background and you've got a song to dance around your room to.

12. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together-Red

Favorite lyrics: Uggg... so he calls me up and he's like, "I still love you,"/And I'm like... "I just... I mean this is exhausting, you know, like/We are never getting back together. Like, ever"

Sometimes people just don't get the point and this song is definitely about one of those times. Taylor sends the point home by adding in "like ever" a few times.

11. You Are in Love-1989

Favorite lyrics: And so it goes/You two are dancing in a snow globe 'round and 'round/And he keeps a picture of you in his office downtown/And you understand now why they lost their minds and fought the wars/And why I spent my whole life trying to put it into words

Not only can Taylor write sassy break-up and revenge songs, but the kind of love songs that make your heart melt and put a smile on your face and this one is one of the best.

10. All Too Well-Red

Favorite lyrics: Hey, you call me up again just to break me like a promise/So casually cruel in the name of being honest/I'm a crumpled up piece of paper lying here/

This nearly six minute song is the host to some of the most beautifully written and crafted lyrics on the planet. The slow song takes you through the memories of a relationship that she can't let go no matter how hard she tries. Even if you haven't experienced some kind of terrible break up like this one, you will love this song. Even better than the studio track is her performace at the 2014 Grammy's. Check it out below.


8. The Story of Us-Speak Now

Favorite lyrics: I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how/
I've never heard silence quite this loud

And...

This is looking like a contest/Of who can act like they care less/But I liked it better when you were on my side/The battle's in your hands now/But I would lay my armor down/If you said you'd rather love than fight/So many things that you wish I knew/But the story of us might be ending soon.

Another totally relatable song from TSwizzle, this one not only can be related to relationships but friendships too. Everyone's had that one relationship/friendship that's ended up like the one in this song

7. The Best Day-Fearless

Favorite lyrics: Now I know why all the trees change in the fall/I know you were on my side/Even when I was wrong/And I love you for giving me your eyes/Staying back and watching me shine/And I didn't know if you knew/So I'm taking this chance to say/That I had the best day/With you today

My favorite daughter-to-mom song of all time. This sweet ballad to her mom is guaranteed to make you shed at least one tear when you listen to it.

6. Enchanted-Speak Now

Favorite lyrics: The lingering question kept me up/2 AM, who do you love?/I wonder 'til I'm wide awake/

A sweet slow song about someone you can't get out of your head. It's not a full-out love song about being totally smitten but it's still sweet and relatable nonetheless.

5. Blank Space-1989

Favorite lyrics: Got a long list of ex-lovers/They'll tell you I'm insane/'Cause you know I love the players/And you love the game

Speaking of genius, this song was the perfect response to the crazy accusations and stories that get printed about TS on a weekly (or maybe even daily) basis. What's even better was that people actually thought it was a real song with some truth to it...

4. Fearless-Fearless

Favorite lyrics: 'Cause I don't know how it gets better than this/You take my hand and drag me head first/Fearless/And I don't know why but with you I'd dance in a storm in my best dress/Fearless

A sweet sappy song about being absolutely smitten, what could be better? TSwift gives us a song all about falling head over heels for someone.

3. Superman-Speak Now Deluxe Edition

Favorite lyrics: Tall, dark and beautiful/He's complicated, he's irrational/But I hope someday you'll take me away and save the day, yeah/Something in his deep brown eyes has me sayin'/He's not all bad like his reputation/And I can't hear one single word they say

A song off of one of the deluxe editions of her albums, Swift gives us a song for that one time when we find ourselves wanting someone everyone tells us we shouldn't have.

3. Everything Has Changed (ft. Ed Sheeran)-Red

Favorite lyrics: 'Cause all I know is we said, "Hello."/And your eyes look like coming home/All I know is a simple name/Everything has changed/All I know is you held the door/You'll be mine and I'll be yours/All I know since yesterday is everything has changed

Ever met someone or had an encounter with someone that ends up plaguing your thoughts for the next 24 hours to 18 months? Taylor and BFF Ed Sheeran give us a song for it. Plus, someone finally sang about opening doors for people.

2. You Belong With Me

Favorite lyrics: You say you're fine I know you better than that/Hey, what you doing with a girl like that?

You are lying if you can say that you didn't spend your middle school years dancing to this one in your room whilst singing it into your hairbrush. Lying...

1. Sparks Fly

Favorite lyrics: Drop everything now/Meet me in the pouring rain/Kiss me on the sidewalk/Take away the pain/'Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile/Get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down/Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around/'Cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile

I'm so in love with everything about this song. Probably my favorite TS song for a while, she ever so geniously describes falling for someone in a perfect way.

The list could go on and on, but I'll stop at 13 this time. 10 years of Taylor has not been enough for me, so here's to 10 more!

I'm serious

There are tons of unisex names that are popular: Taylor, Alex, Bailey, etc. There are also numerous names that are used for both sexes, but they’re not seen as “unisex” yet. People are slowly becoming accustomed to the dual use of these names, but for the most part, in their minds they associate certain names with certain sexes. And that leaves those of us with these names in many awkward situations.

You know that all of these things apply to you. You'll just never tell.

I'm an anthropology major, and I love every minute of it. I couldn't tell you why, but I guess there's just something about studying different lifestyles that absolutely fascinates me. But anthropology majors definitely have our weird sides, especially when you go to a school that is filled with mostly Business and Bio majors. But us weirdos definitely have a lot in common, specifically these 16 things.

Everyone has insecurities, that's just a fact. You didn't ask to be born this way. You didn't ask to inherit the one trait no one else in your family has. And you definitely didn't ask to be this ghostly white. But as soon as you've learned to live with it for a while (less wrinkles later on in life, right? right???) someone has to ruin it for you. They have to flaunt they're perfectly tanned body from Spring Break and hold their sun-kissed skin against yours. But I've had enough... here are the things that perpetually pale individuals are tired of hearing.
