Taylor Swift took the world by storm with her country music and then pop music. She has changed the lives of many and her music has inspired us all. But today I wanted to list my two favorite songs on each of her albums and reminisce about the reasons why we love her and her songs so much.
"Taylor Swift"- "Teardrops On My Guitar" and "Picture to Burn"
"Sounds of the Season: The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection"- "Santa Baby" and "Last Christmas"
"Fearless"- "You Belong With Me" and "Fearless"
So yeah, maybe Lucas Till was in this music video, and yeah maybe that's half the reason this song made it onto this article. But all jokes aside, "You Belong With Me" was every girl's jam at sleepovers. We most likely were dancing like Swift in the music video, and that is OK, because he does belong with you, even if you dance weird.
And I don't know how it gets better than "Fearless". It will always be one of my favorite songs by Swift because she speaks our minds in this song: we all want to dance in our best dress and have a fearless first kiss. Be Fearless kids.
"Fearless Platinum Edition"- "The Other Side of the Door" and "Jump Then Fall"
The platinum edition was one of the last albums where Swift had a touch of country sound in her songs -- RIP Country Swift. But let's look at the songs we will cherish forever.
"The Other Side of the Door" is just a cute, youthful song. This is the song you send to your boyfriend when he asks, "What do you want me to do?"
"Jump Then Fall" was the song we all had on repeat in middle school and was needed on this list to remind you of the good days.
"Speak Now"- "Sparks Fly" and "Back To December"
"Sparks Fly" was a total hit with Swift fans. This song reminds us that we all wish someone would drop everything for us and kiss us on sidewalks.
"Back to December"...you mean back to crying for hours while listening to this song! It breaks all fans' hearts because this is the first song that Swift admits she was the heart-breaker and would change everything if she could. Wouldn't we all?
"Red"- "All Too Well" and "22"
"Red" was an adventurous album with songs that will tear you apart and put you back together. "All Too Well", the song that tore all teenage girls apart, had to make this list and maybe make the list of one of the best Taylor Swift songs of all time.
I don't know about you, but I loved "22." It was a song that wasn't about boys who broke our hearts or made our hearts flutter. It was about having fun and being surrounded by friends for the night. Who doesn't want that?
"1989"- "Wildest Dreams" and "You Are In Love"
"You Are In Love" was a bonus track on the album, and a bonus it was! This song will give you a glimpse of a love that isn't a burden or that comes with a heartbreak.
"Singles"- "I'd Lie" and "Ronan"
I'd be lying to you all if I didn't say "I'd Lie" was my favorite single by Taylor Swift. It's young and playful. Who couldn't love it?
"Ronan" was dedicated to Ronan Thompson, who passed away from cancer before his 4th birthday. All proceeds from this song were donated to cancer charities, so how could this not be on the list?
“People haven't always been there for me, but music always has.”- Taylor Swift
Thank you Taylor, for giving us the music that can be there for us.
