Taylor Swift’s Discography, Ranked

Ask her why so many fade, but she’s still here.

Over the course of nearly two decades, Taylor Swift has taken quill, fountain, and glitter gel pens to paper to craft a discography of close to 300 songs, all evoking different emotions and telling stories of her most dazzling diary pages. 

Swift never fails to attach an invisible string from her heart to ours. While no album, no song, no lyric has ever fallen short of the earnest expectations Swift sets for herself (and outdoes), her tracks all carry different characteristics: lyricism and poeticism, instrumentals and production, and relatability. 

Analyzing those characteristics that create each song from Debut (Taylor Swift), Fearless (Taylor’s Version), Speak Now (TV), Red (TV), 1989 (TV), reputation, Lover, folklore, evermore, Midnights, and The Tortured Poets Department along with cinematic songs (The Hunger Games, Where the Crawdads Sing, One Chance) and collaborations, below is Swift’s 238-song discography, ranked.
