Speak Now is the hardest since Mine and Sparks Fly are top two overall favorites and they go back and forth. I think SF improved with the TV version while Mine is pretty much the same so I'll use that as a tie-breaker. Though Mine from 2:45 to the end, starting with "brace myself for the goodbye..." is probably the best stretch in pop music history. Enchanted is an easy pick for #3, but there's so many options for the 4th pick.

1. Sparks Fly
2. Mine
3. Enchanted
4. Innocent

Many apologies to Back to December.

1. Long Live
2. Haunted
3. Mean
4. Superman

Since I can’t vote for Ours or Superman my other vote will be for Mine.

This album probably has my weirdest picks compared to the conventional fan. I had no idea Enchanted was seen as more than a mid song until I saw it had the most views on Spotify.

Mine wins.

Mine
Long Live
Sparks Fly
Haunted

I sure wish she played all those at the actual show.

1. State of Grace
2. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
3. All Too Well (10 min)
4. Red

Feel bad leaving Starlight off but I like the TV version of Red more.

While Speak Now has my two favorite songs on it, Red was the album where I realized Taylor was for real. Not only was she capable of delivering something of this quality, but she could keep doing it as long as she pleased.

1. All Too Well
2. Everything Has Changed
3. State of Grace
4. Holy Ground

1. All Too Well
2. Red
3. State of Grace
4. 22

Hey we got more votes this time! All Too Well wins easily but it's nice to see SoG and Red getting 3 votes each.

All Too Well
State of Grace
Red
We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together


Folklore up next.

I really like the Betty-Peace-Hoax end to this album

1. Betty
2. August
3. Peace
4. Cardigan

1. Tha 1
2. Exile
3. My Tears Richochet
4. Betty

I didn't love Folklore at first. A lot of the songs sounded too samey. It didn't really click until the Longpond sessions version, which is the main one I listen to now. Still think Evermore is better though.

shit this one is hard. I have like a 10-way tie for favorite song on the album.

folklore is a masterpiece imo.

1. illicit affairs
2. august
3. exile
4. this is me trying

okay I pulled the trigger and voted:

1. Invisible String
2. The 1
3. Mirrorball
4. Peace

Tha 1
Betty
Exile
Peace

Very close at the top. You made me do math! Great choices though.



I've been putting off 1989, hoping to come around on the tv, but I guess we'll just plow forward.

These are all the original Max Martin versions. TV has good new songs but the mixes on the old songs are intolerable.

1. Blank Space
2. Style
3. I Know Places
4. Welcome To New York

Easy first 3, though my rankings on Blank Space and Style switch back and forth. New York v New Romantics is the only really tough decision here, but went with NY cause that opening is just burned into my brain forever.

1. Out of the Woods
2. All You Had To Do Was Stay
3. Blank Space
4. Style

1. Style
2. I Wish You Would
3. Blank Space
4. Out of the Woods

Blank Space
Style
Out Of The Woods
New Romantics

Easy win for Blank Space.

This is my least favorite Taylor album. It's the only one I'd consider to be full-on country music. That being said, it is still probably a top ten country album all time (Musgraves, Church, Stapleton, Morris and Zach Brown each have at least one album that is better but that's about it) so its not like its horrible, just full of songs I forget right after listening to them.

1. Picture To Burn
2. A Place In This World
3. Our Song
4. Should've Said No

While it has a few weaker songs I still really like the album

1. Should’ve Said No
2. Our Song
3. Stay Beautiful
4. Teardrops on My Guitar

Looking forward to TV of this.

1. Teardrops on my Guitar
2. Our Song
3. Picture to Burn
4. Should've Said No

Should've Said No
Teardrops On My Guitar
Our Song
Picture To Burn


One more album round and then the battle royale shall begin!

1. Maroon
2. Anti-Hero
3. Karma
4. Lavender Haze


Karma was my fav after first listen, Anti-Hero made the Flava'd Fifty, but many more listens this year have cemented Maroon as my favorite. Love that she says fuck on it.

easy top 2, not so easy 3-4.

1. Anti-hero
2. Maroon
3. Midnight Rain
4. Labyrinth (runners-up Lavender Haze, Bejeweled, Snow on the Beach, Mastermind, Sweet Nothing)

1. You’re On Your Own Kid
2. Mastermind
3. Bejeweled
4. Anti-Hero

damn, I don’t know if I’m just catching a wave of feels at the same time she releases the new vault track, but You’re Losing Me is slaying me, and would probably make my top 4 of Midnights.
