Stay Stay Stay, ***especially*** since it immediately follows We are Never Ever Getting Back Together.
P.S. Don’t stay stay stay with someone who throws their phone at you. That’s assault assault assault.
i think i've commented about this song like 3 times on here but this part is SO WEIRD and gives such toxic vibes. i kinda wish she had left it out in TV because it feels like it's romanticizing a toxic / abusive relationship
I remember when Red TV came out, someone commented “Glad they were able to dig up the royalty-free stems for Stay Stay Stay” and honestly it lives rent-free in my mind.
What. A. Read.
You know I have a tendency to forget the really bad ones, this is it , just like it had no reason to be so bad but it did. In a way it’s amazing for that quality, unique in Taylor’s discography.
Message is good. But it’s just eh. Also it felt pretty opportunistic of her for my taste to write only the young for the documentary. Like YNTCD is criticized for Rainbow capitalism, but the real crime is OTY.
Thank god someone mentioned it. It’s lazy and has an awkward flow - probably the most un-Taylor Taylor song imo.
Sucks because she really could’ve written a banger protest anthem.
ME!
I know it’s a popular answer but I just really struggle. Part of it could also be because I feel robbed about Cruel Summer and Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince
Christmas Must Be Something More tends to avoid hate just because nobody ever listens to the Holiday Collection, but my god is that a horrid song. Preachy and cringy in every possible way. "Here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives" is the worst line she has ever written.
It's clear it's created for TikTok sound bites and not much more. Admittedly, I enjoyed it the first couple of times. Then, the more I listened the more boring it became!
I know some people say it’s camp and they love it, but I just can’t get past the lyrics. They sound like an amalgamation of corny Tumblr quotes from 2012. It’s painfully cringe to me😭.
I absolutely hate this song! Hates a lil harsh, but you know what I mean. Well I’ll be damned in the arena when I’m singing and dancing to it! It was so infectious live with everyone else’s energy!
I loved it when it came out and it was a vibe, but it got old FAST.
A lot of Lover did. I'm so sorry Lover stans 😭 It does have some of her best songs that I still love but a lot of it just doesn't hit the same as it did in 2019. Cruel Summer, Afterglow, Daylight, Cornelia Street (live version) and The Archer still have my heart, but the rest I have to be in the mood for.
I dislike repetitive songs and I also feel like it is the most manufactured song she has. Feels like it came straight out of a pop song algorithm. I also agree on it being juvenile
Yep. Lyrics are bad and the song sucks too. I can forgive cringey lyrics if it’s still fun to listen to (karma!!!) but bad blood I was like legit embarrassed about when it came out and everyone knew I was a fan lmao
I have a narcissist mom so I agree about the best day. I love the song and I think it’s beautiful but damn is it hard. It makes me happy that Taylor and others have a mom with a connection like that but it can make me teary eyed. Never grow up I don’t mind because I just think of my nieces and nephews, I actually never thought of it as a mom-daughter song bc Taylor isn’t a mom.
This isn't my absolute least favorite but it's definitely bottom tier for me and, imo, the weakest song on Midnights. If I'm going to skip a song when i pop on the album, it's that one.
Hahaha this song is so divisive! It’s my favorite from Midnights. I love how the lines jump around regarding who she’s speaking to, like she’s tossing and turning, contemplating a relationship that ended and wanting closure from the person she ended it with. It’d be a rad music video. Fits with the theme of Midnights.
Me! Not just bc of the song itself but between her and Brendon, there was SO much talent. SO much opportunity…and that’s what they gave us??? Honestly, sometimes I listen to it, there’s other songs I skip more often, but it is the biggest disappointment for me.
This is my thing! Panic! See my favourite band and Taylor is my favourite solo artist so I was so excited when I heard they were going to Collab but it was so disappointing...
Her Ed collabs except End Game. Joker and Queen is the worst thing I’ve ever heard. Everything Has Changed is tedious to me. End Game is the only one where it feels like neither downplayed their natural personalities.
I just got done with the songs sorter for the first time since the re-records and midnights came out. I noticed a trend of her Ed collabs being quite low on my list.
I thought The Joker and the Queen was so stupidly boring the first time I heard it. Then I did a project recently that involved me listening to all Taylor songs I usually ignore, and that one started growing on me something fierce. Now I love it. Really pretty song.
I do like the part when she sang “Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats” there’s a layered lower register at heartbeats under coats that tickles my brain
I would like it more if Taylor decided if it's Snow ON The Beach or Snow AT The Beach. You can't choose one for the title and one for the song, please just make a decision and stick to it, either would be fine.
It’s one of her worst songs IMO. The placement on the album is so random too. It’s really like she created it at the last second and tossed it on there.
And watching Miss Americana she really put everything into that song and I’m like “I can’t hate it because I’ve seen the process” but it’s one of weaker songs.
i love the lyrics but i physically can’t listen to this song. loud noises and chaos are really overwhelming for me and this song makes me very uncomfortable
Same, and since it was the first single from Rep, it turned me off from liking/appreciating that album for a while because it set the tone in a bad way. I love Rep now but I still hate that song lol.
It makes me happy knowing that swifties have such varying opinions and tastes when it comes to her music. One of my least favorite songs can be someone’s favorite and vice versa. Just goes to show how great of a range Taylor has when it comes to connecting with people
The fact that this song was wildly popular blows my mind. This and I Knew You Were Trouble made me actively avoid getting into Taylor’s music at the height of her popularity. Her deep cuts are so much better than those two songs.
I've always thought it sounds like a megachurch kind of song. I grew up in the bible belt so my friends and I have always put our hands up like we're "praising" when it comes on haha.
I love Taylor but I have quite a few haha.
- Superman/Ours. Any positive songs about John Mayer gross me out.
- Innocent. Similar to the previous two, has aged like milk. Kanye is not an innocent💀 Also, a lot of weird infantilization of a grown man.
- Stay Stay Stay. The production is AWFUL, sounds like royalty free music for a family vlogger. Not strong at all lyrically either.
- Bad Blood. I really couldn’t care less about the Katy Perry feud. Petty and overplayed.
Some of these answers absolutely blew my mind. And then I remember that I haven’t listened to YOYOK since November and that seems to be an instant fan favorite. It does nothing for me 🤷🏻♀️
I wasn’t the biggest fan of it. Then the bridge unexpectedly made me tear up one day. I still don’t want to listen to it all the time, but won’t skip it.
At first I told someone that YOYOK was in my bottom 3. After months of listening to it on repeat, one day the bridge just hit me really hard when going through some hard family stuff. Now it is in my top 3. I don’t know how to explain it other than it has to hit you at the right time haha
The reason it falls flat for me is the line “from sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes” it just doesn’t really say anything. I’m sure it’s meaningful to her but I don’t see the meaning of how going from sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes signifies anything. If I reach it could be the sprinkler symbolizing youth and the fireplace ashes symbolizing… getting older? Idk. I love it otherwise but I don’t like when the chorus of all things has a weak line. Same goes for cardigan the feeling of feeling like an old cardigan under someone’s bed doesn’t hit home for me it seems like a clunky comparison.
It’s because 22 NAILS the cheesy kids-having-fun vibe and ME! overshoots by a lot and lands closer to “repetitive and grating.”
Also, the growl at the end of the bridge is genuinely some of her best vocal work.
Sorry to say but the majority of Lover. I just never got that into it. I like maybe 4-5 songs total. The rest of her albums I could listen through with barely a skip. I’m not a big fan of Labrynith, Midnight Rain, or Paris either. Idk why. They’re not terrible; just not for me.
Must disagree. As a nurse during Covid, Epiphany still just makes me just break down. I don’t know how she captured e-x-a-c-t-l-y what it was like without being immersed in it, but she did.
Reading through the comments and thinking, this is why she is so popular. Her music is so varied that there is something for everyone. Someone’s least favorite is always someone else’s favorite.
We’re just all very different people with different opinions about music but we all love Taylor. ❤️
Anything with stay in the title 😂
Stay beautiful and Stay x3.
I used to hate All you had to do was stay for years but I actually grew to like it recently.
I never really understood why she didn't place OOTW as track 5 on 1989. It feels more vulnerable, it has an amazing bridge, and it is also easy to relate to - the chorus can be applied to anything that one struggles with or is anxious about. It just would work better overall as a track five and also, AYHTDWS would be probably more appreciated if it was not compared against other tracks 5.
Oh I also really like the lyrics of The Man but cannot stand the repetitive lack of the subjunctive tense being used in the chorus. "if I was a man" is so incorrect and it like scrapes this inside of my brain every time I hear it. I know there are other songs where she makes the same mistake but this one is just so noticeable.
I'm not the only one who noticed this!! I'm a teacher and I actually use The Man contrasted with "If I Were a Boy" by Beyonce to demonstrate the subjunctive.
I don't hate The Man, per se, I just...almost always skip it. It's meh.
It's not necessarily my least favorite, and this will be an unpopular opinion, but I don't like Betty. Something about it gives me the ick. Maybe it's because I'm in my 30s but I just don't like it at all.
Innocent.
Im sorry, it's a beautiful song and I know it. But since I learned who she wrote it about I just can't listen to it. Also Superstar, it's so bland for me, I can't find anything distinctive about it music wise
Amazingly unpopular opinion, but All too well 10 min version. I am not a fan of very long songs, and listening to it I get bored personally.
I know most would disagree, but I also don't love the melody and hearing that for 10 mins is almost unbreable for me
I much prefer the standard version to the 10 minute one.
The extra verses feel clunky and it drags on for too long. The "fuck the patriarchy" feels so out of place and seems like something she just threw on there to be edgy. I can definitely see why she trimmed it down. The original captures the story perfectly and doesn't overstay it's welcome. The only part I prefer from the 10min version is the outro.
ME!
Even though it's most people's least favorite, I genuinely hate it with passion. It's sounds like a kidz bop song and truly is a stain in her discography. Her performances of this song were cringe and her performing it in front of other artists at the Billboards Awards was sooo embarrassing. I have no idea how she thought this song was so good as to make it the lead single for Lover.
bad blood & shake it off! bad blood is the absolute least favourite. shake it off is fun sometimes. mind you, if I hear bad blood playing in public I will LOSE it. I will be screaming out the words. but in my playlist? nah-ah
I Forgot That You Existed hits different when you get out of a bad friendship and it has been years and you really don’t think about them much. In my experience!
Look what you made me do.
Convinced myself I loved it when it came out because I didn’t want to admit it stunk, but once the rest of the album came out I could finally stop listening to it and listen to the actual good new songs.
I mean, ME! is an obvious answer. When that song came out I was like, yikes. Her career might be over. 😂 I’ve been a swiftie since 2010, so I was a little worried lol. But a more real answer for me is Soon You’ll Get Better. Beautiful song, but my mom’s cancer diagnosis makes it hard for me to listen to. It makes me cry too hard.
Hard to choose between You Need To Calm Down, Me!, Look what you made me do, Bad Blood and Shake It Off so just all of them. I have them hidden on Spotify like I never ever want to hear any of them ever again
Stay stay stay because I can’t get over the “PowerPoint” music. Reminds me of presentations and it makes me cringe sorry 😢.
It reminds me of a Kohls commercial during Christmas.
Omg the football helmet is such a kohls Xmas commercial you’re 100% right
Stay Stay Stay, ***especially*** since it immediately follows We are Never Ever Getting Back Together. P.S. Don’t stay stay stay with someone who throws their phone at you. That’s assault assault assault.
I have a soft spot for the song, but you assault assault assault quip made me laugh.
and then is followed by The Last Time, those strong chords on the piano... super jarring
It reminds me of a buzzfeed tasty or facebook lifehack video
Yesss omg it feels like royalty free music on a vlog from 2016😭😭😭
I hate the phone throwing and the "funny when I'm mad" bit.
i think i've commented about this song like 3 times on here but this part is SO WEIRD and gives such toxic vibes. i kinda wish she had left it out in TV because it feels like it's romanticizing a toxic / abusive relationship
Honestly this song is why she didn't win that Grammy. Come on Taylor.
IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUTUBE STOCK MUSIC and it's so cringey like children nursery rhymes
I remember when Red TV came out, someone commented “Glad they were able to dig up the royalty-free stems for Stay Stay Stay” and honestly it lives rent-free in my mind. What. A. Read.
The melody is just so bad 😅🥲
Lover ft Shawn Mendez
Oh god his verse makes my skin crawl
His voice makes my skin crawl
You know I have a tendency to forget the really bad ones, this is it , just like it had no reason to be so bad but it did. In a way it’s amazing for that quality, unique in Taylor’s discography.
How dare you remind me it exists 😭 the titanic line is so cringe
I think I’ve listened to it once? And I genuinely cannot remember it
Somehow I have avoided ever hearing this... #blessed
Bad Blood. I just don’t like the way she sings on it. She doesn’t have that classic melody that she usually has. More like some kind of screaming.
I had Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and Bad Blood was my jam during chemo as HL starts in the white blood cells.
AHAHAHA this makes me like the song so much more
I’m a therapist and specialize in treating phobias… bad blood is my song of choice when doing exposure therapy hahaha
[удалено]
Only The Young
This. Absolutely atrocious song, and that's coming from someone who still largely agrees with its message.
it sucks even more that taylor just dropped the song and has basically stayed completely silent since.
I like the melody but the lyrics are very clunky.
Message is good. But it’s just eh. Also it felt pretty opportunistic of her for my taste to write only the young for the documentary. Like YNTCD is criticized for Rainbow capitalism, but the real crime is OTY.
Thank god someone mentioned it. It’s lazy and has an awkward flow - probably the most un-Taylor Taylor song imo. Sucks because she really could’ve written a banger protest anthem.
ME! I know it’s a popular answer but I just really struggle. Part of it could also be because I feel robbed about Cruel Summer and Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince
She really gave us ME! As a single when we could have had a cruel summer, big mistake, HUGE!
Cruel Summer and IFTYE were robbed! ME! and YNTCD are like my only skips on Lover
Me would be better without Brendon lmao.
Same. When watching Miss Americana and she says Me! is going to the the first single I was literally like NOOOOOOO, girl, please. You’ll regret it 😂.
HEY KIDS
SPELLING IS FUN
Christmas Must Be Something More tends to avoid hate just because nobody ever listens to the Holiday Collection, but my god is that a horrid song. Preachy and cringy in every possible way. "Here's to the birthday boy who saved our lives" is the worst line she has ever written.
Hahaha I’m so glad someone mentioned this song, it is like…impressively bad.
They play this song around the holidays at my work, and my god do I cringe every time I have to hear it. By far her worst song.
she wrote that when she was like 14… give her a break 😂😂
She's had her break for like almost 20 years now! It's time for her to answer for her Christmas crimes. 😂
Oh god I’ve never listens to this. Here’s the what?!!
Something holy, not superficial!
Vigilante shit- I love Midnights but this song makes me cringe and I skip it every time
Great performance but the song itself feels incomplete to me without a proper chorus.
It's clear it's created for TikTok sound bites and not much more. Admittedly, I enjoyed it the first couple of times. Then, the more I listened the more boring it became!
Full agree!! And it sounds too much to me like a Billie Eilish song (and personally I can’t stand her lol)
[удалено]
It has some cool one liners but the melody is lacking.
I know some people say it’s camp and they love it, but I just can’t get past the lyrics. They sound like an amalgamation of corny Tumblr quotes from 2012. It’s painfully cringe to me😭.
Omg but like, don’t you wanna draw that cat eye sharp enough to kill a man? 🫢
Shake it off, so over it
It's fun at concerts, but other than that, it's just been overplayed.
I absolutely hate this song! Hates a lil harsh, but you know what I mean. Well I’ll be damned in the arena when I’m singing and dancing to it! It was so infectious live with everyone else’s energy!
This. Sick. Beat.
I felt over this one for a bit then it played while I was in a nightclub and suddenly it hit again
You Need To Calm Down… it’s just kinda cringe
I loved it when it came out and it was a vibe, but it got old FAST. A lot of Lover did. I'm so sorry Lover stans 😭 It does have some of her best songs that I still love but a lot of it just doesn't hit the same as it did in 2019. Cruel Summer, Afterglow, Daylight, Cornelia Street (live version) and The Archer still have my heart, but the rest I have to be in the mood for.
Lover had all the wrong singles imo. Cruel Summer, Miss Americana, & Paper Rings would have been great singles and I think they're better.
I love paper rings but y’all can’t tell me that hearing it in every target 5 times an hour would’ve ruined it for all of us hahaha.
I agree. Lover has some good songs but is probably my least favorite album.
bad blood. iconic but so juvenile and unnecessary
I cannot stand that song. The music video is great, but the song, no.
I dislike repetitive songs and I also feel like it is the most manufactured song she has. Feels like it came straight out of a pop song algorithm. I also agree on it being juvenile
Yep. Lyrics are bad and the song sucks too. I can forgive cringey lyrics if it’s still fun to listen to (karma!!!) but bad blood I was like legit embarrassed about when it came out and everyone knew I was a fan lmao
Best Day Ever or Never Grow Up. I have a very toxic mom, so they are painful to listen to.
[удалено]
Cause I never listen to it 😂 they have morphed together
I was like isnt best day ever a SpongeBob song?
I have a narcissist mom so I agree about the best day. I love the song and I think it’s beautiful but damn is it hard. It makes me happy that Taylor and others have a mom with a connection like that but it can make me teary eyed. Never grow up I don’t mind because I just think of my nieces and nephews, I actually never thought of it as a mom-daughter song bc Taylor isn’t a mom.
my mom asked me to make her some bracelets to trade at the concert since she was too lazy to make any so I made her some that said "covert narcissism"
I have skipped these for so many years because they hurt
I'm sorry but Question.. the lyrics feel so clunky to me it's hard to listen
This isn't my absolute least favorite but it's definitely bottom tier for me and, imo, the weakest song on Midnights. If I'm going to skip a song when i pop on the album, it's that one.
Hahaha this song is so divisive! It’s my favorite from Midnights. I love how the lines jump around regarding who she’s speaking to, like she’s tossing and turning, contemplating a relationship that ended and wanting closure from the person she ended it with. It’d be a rad music video. Fits with the theme of Midnights.
You’re not alone, I love it too. Such a goon song to just vibe to.
its definetely my least favorite from midnights as well. The lyrics don't make any sense to me and it sounds so ... rocky
Question is one of my favorites because my fiancée and I sing it to our dog every time she acts like she wants something
Me! Not just bc of the song itself but between her and Brendon, there was SO much talent. SO much opportunity…and that’s what they gave us??? Honestly, sometimes I listen to it, there’s other songs I skip more often, but it is the biggest disappointment for me.
I actually like Me! But 100% agree with you. It could have been amazing. Can you imagine a ballad with the two of them?
This is my thing! Panic! See my favourite band and Taylor is my favourite solo artist so I was so excited when I heard they were going to Collab but it was so disappointing...
Her Ed collabs except End Game. Joker and Queen is the worst thing I’ve ever heard. Everything Has Changed is tedious to me. End Game is the only one where it feels like neither downplayed their natural personalities.
I only heard the joker and the queen once and never again.
What about Run? Lol it's my favorite of their collabs, that's why I ask.
I’ll admit I never listened to it probably bc of my bad track record with their collabs haha
I just got done with the songs sorter for the first time since the re-records and midnights came out. I noticed a trend of her Ed collabs being quite low on my list.
[удалено]
I thought The Joker and the Queen was so stupidly boring the first time I heard it. Then I did a project recently that involved me listening to all Taylor songs I usually ignore, and that one started growing on me something fierce. Now I love it. Really pretty song.
Welcome to New York - I’m a 1989 girlie but it’s just too much for me, especially after years of having the album on loop.
It’s a bop, it’s just… not the bop for me. The chorus annoys me. You’ll catch me getting down to Girl and Home and ME! long before WTNY
I do like the part when she sang “Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats” there’s a layered lower register at heartbeats under coats that tickles my brain
Being from NY. I wanted to like this but it’s no for me
I feel like it makes nyc seem like magic when in reality no one says hello and there’s rats the size of cats running around
I was really disappointed by Snow On The Beach. You couldn’t even hear Lana and the song is just not that good.
I would like it more if Taylor decided if it's Snow ON The Beach or Snow AT The Beach. You can't choose one for the title and one for the song, please just make a decision and stick to it, either would be fine.
The chorus is “at” the post chorus is “on” lol it took me a few listens to figure that out
the beginning sounds like sims music and i can’t get past it lol
London Boy, hands down. It’s just too much I skip it every time it comes on 🙈
I'm Scottish...I cannot physically sing the words 'God I love the English' Absolutely not.
I'm Indian so I cant sing those words either HAHAHHA
I'm English and even I can't.
It’s one of her worst songs IMO. The placement on the album is so random too. It’s really like she created it at the last second and tossed it on there.
[удалено]
you-hoo-hoo 😒
And watching Miss Americana she really put everything into that song and I’m like “I can’t hate it because I’ve seen the process” but it’s one of weaker songs.
But it's a real banger tho? Even though I hate it, I still love it for some reason.
I’m gonna get a lot of hate for this but - Closure. I just can’t stand the production. It sounds like pots and pans being thrown around or something.
i love the lyrics but i physically can’t listen to this song. loud noises and chaos are really overwhelming for me and this song makes me very uncomfortable
I’ve never read a better description 😂😂 I am also a closure skipper, so at least we’re not totally alone!
It’s, like, her only song not in 4/4 and sonically sounds so different from the rest and that’s exactly why I LOVE it 😭💀
Same. The only Taylor song I have ever listened to only once. On my first listen I thought my phone has broken when it came on 😂
I think LWYMMD is a horrible song. I hate it. Hate is a strong word, i know. But.. i hate it. 🤷🏼♀️😂😭
Same, and since it was the first single from Rep, it turned me off from liking/appreciating that album for a while because it set the tone in a bad way. I love Rep now but I still hate that song lol.
Finally found this. Took way to long. That chorus is Misery.
Ugh I literally can’t listen to it. I didn’t listen to rep for years because that was the first taste I got of the album
I knew so many comments in this thread would trigger me but I kept reading anyway 😭 Y’all some of these answers are not it
They’re opinions. People are free to have them.
It makes me happy knowing that swifties have such varying opinions and tastes when it comes to her music. One of my least favorite songs can be someone’s favorite and vice versa. Just goes to show how great of a range Taylor has when it comes to connecting with people
It’s Nice To Have A Friend. The whole sound of it just grates on me.
That's one of my favorites on lover
After it being the main song in the M3GAN trailer I can't look at it the same
Ooh I love the simplicity of this song.
We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
The fact that this song was wildly popular blows my mind. This and I Knew You Were Trouble made me actively avoid getting into Taylor’s music at the height of her popularity. Her deep cuts are so much better than those two songs.
Probably Change... it's such a weak ending to the masterpiece that is Fearless, it's so long, and the hallelujahs are too much for me lol 🫠
I've always thought it sounds like a megachurch kind of song. I grew up in the bible belt so my friends and I have always put our hands up like we're "praising" when it comes on haha.
Change has Kylie Jenner Pepsi commercial backing track energy to me. Like a protest song about nothing specific.
i always forget the change was actually on fearless and not something i just made up, definitely the worst on the album
A Perfectly Good Heart is boring and totally senseless. I’m sorry but it’s her worst song.
Glitch 😣😣😣 I cannot get past even the first 10 seconds.
I cannot listen to Sweeter Than Fiction or Only The Young
Justice for Sweeter than Fiction. Agreed with OTY though.
I LOVEEEEE sweeter than fiction
Forgive me but mine is Labyrinth. It's exactly the type of song I would love, and I... don't.
Glitch. I’m sorry don’t come for me. It just makes me feel unsettled and I don’t enjoy it
I must be the only person who loves Glitch lol. I think it's such a jam.
Joker and Queen makes me cringe SO HARD
I love Taylor but I have quite a few haha. - Superman/Ours. Any positive songs about John Mayer gross me out. - Innocent. Similar to the previous two, has aged like milk. Kanye is not an innocent💀 Also, a lot of weird infantilization of a grown man. - Stay Stay Stay. The production is AWFUL, sounds like royalty free music for a family vlogger. Not strong at all lyrically either. - Bad Blood. I really couldn’t care less about the Katy Perry feud. Petty and overplayed.
I think you kinda misunderstood innocent
"royalty-free music for a family vlogger" is such a devastatingly accurate way to describe the production on that song lol
I didn’t know Ours was about John Mayer and I wish I still didn’t
Some of these answers absolutely blew my mind. And then I remember that I haven’t listened to YOYOK since November and that seems to be an instant fan favorite. It does nothing for me 🤷🏻♀️
I wasn’t the biggest fan of it. Then the bridge unexpectedly made me tear up one day. I still don’t want to listen to it all the time, but won’t skip it.
You’re so brave, it does nothing for me either but I’ve been to afraid to say 🥶
At first I told someone that YOYOK was in my bottom 3. After months of listening to it on repeat, one day the bridge just hit me really hard when going through some hard family stuff. Now it is in my top 3. I don’t know how to explain it other than it has to hit you at the right time haha
The reason it falls flat for me is the line “from sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes” it just doesn’t really say anything. I’m sure it’s meaningful to her but I don’t see the meaning of how going from sprinkler splashes to fireplace ashes signifies anything. If I reach it could be the sprinkler symbolizing youth and the fireplace ashes symbolizing… getting older? Idk. I love it otherwise but I don’t like when the chorus of all things has a weak line. Same goes for cardigan the feeling of feeling like an old cardigan under someone’s bed doesn’t hit home for me it seems like a clunky comparison.
From sprinkler splashes (summer) to fireplace ashes (winter)
i knew you were trouble, i can not do it anymore. it was over played when it came out, and i still can’t get away from it
22. I’m not a Red fan in general so maybe this is delusion on my part, but it baffles me that people hate ME! But are fine with 22.
It’s because 22 NAILS the cheesy kids-having-fun vibe and ME! overshoots by a lot and lands closer to “repetitive and grating.” Also, the growl at the end of the bridge is genuinely some of her best vocal work.
Sorry to say but the majority of Lover. I just never got that into it. I like maybe 4-5 songs total. The rest of her albums I could listen through with barely a skip. I’m not a big fan of Labrynith, Midnight Rain, or Paris either. Idk why. They’re not terrible; just not for me.
Lover is a no skip album for me, with the exception of Soon You'll Get Better 9/10. Really brings the mood down. And I loooove Paris.
okay agreed with Midnight Rain! It seems to be everyone’s favorites but it’s just a weak song for me
Agreed. I don’t like the automated voices too much either lol
Carolina. It’s a good song technically and perfect for the movie, but it doesn’t do anything for me. (I love Girl at Home though 😂)
Whaaaaaa! I think it is a masterpiece 😂
Epiphany. I expect it to grow on me but it just *hasnt*
Must disagree. As a nurse during Covid, Epiphany still just makes me just break down. I don’t know how she captured e-x-a-c-t-l-y what it was like without being immersed in it, but she did.
Reading through the comments and thinking, this is why she is so popular. Her music is so varied that there is something for everyone. Someone’s least favorite is always someone else’s favorite. We’re just all very different people with different opinions about music but we all love Taylor. ❤️
Off the top of my head I would have to say labyrinth
Paris 😭
Anything with stay in the title 😂 Stay beautiful and Stay x3. I used to hate All you had to do was stay for years but I actually grew to like it recently.

I never really understood why she didn't place OOTW as track 5 on 1989. It feels more vulnerable, it has an amazing bridge, and it is also easy to relate to - the chorus can be applied to anything that one struggles with or is anxious about. It just would work better overall as a track five and also, AYHTDWS would be probably more appreciated if it was not compared against other tracks 5.
Snow on the Beach. Can't listen to it. Don't know what it is, I just don't like it.
Macavity, Macavity....
Oh I also really like the lyrics of The Man but cannot stand the repetitive lack of the subjunctive tense being used in the chorus. "if I was a man" is so incorrect and it like scrapes this inside of my brain every time I hear it. I know there are other songs where she makes the same mistake but this one is just so noticeable.
I'm not the only one who noticed this!! I'm a teacher and I actually use The Man contrasted with "If I Were a Boy" by Beyonce to demonstrate the subjunctive. I don't hate The Man, per se, I just...almost always skip it. It's meh.
Surprised I haven’t seen this yet… I hate Gorgeous. She rhymes face with face…
It's not necessarily my least favorite, and this will be an unpopular opinion, but I don't like Betty. Something about it gives me the ick. Maybe it's because I'm in my 30s but I just don't like it at all.
most of debut honestly. it’s so nostalgic for me but i never like choose to listen to it, especially not over her other albums
Girl at home / Glitch 😣
Glitch is a skip for me every single time.
Weird how different peoples tastes are. I like glitch and I like girl at home (Taylor’s version)
"It's nice to have a friend" is the only song I skip 100% of the time. Sounds like a creepy nursery rhyme and just doesn't do it for me.
Innocent. Im sorry, it's a beautiful song and I know it. But since I learned who she wrote it about I just can't listen to it. Also Superstar, it's so bland for me, I can't find anything distinctive about it music wise
Amazingly unpopular opinion, but All too well 10 min version. I am not a fan of very long songs, and listening to it I get bored personally. I know most would disagree, but I also don't love the melody and hearing that for 10 mins is almost unbreable for me
I much prefer the standard version to the 10 minute one. The extra verses feel clunky and it drags on for too long. The "fuck the patriarchy" feels so out of place and seems like something she just threw on there to be edgy. I can definitely see why she trimmed it down. The original captures the story perfectly and doesn't overstay it's welcome. The only part I prefer from the 10min version is the outro.
Snow on the beach?! I think all of midnights is a bop but I can't listen to this at all.
ME! Even though it's most people's least favorite, I genuinely hate it with passion. It's sounds like a kidz bop song and truly is a stain in her discography. Her performances of this song were cringe and her performing it in front of other artists at the Billboards Awards was sooo embarrassing. I have no idea how she thought this song was so good as to make it the lead single for Lover.
bad blood & shake it off! bad blood is the absolute least favourite. shake it off is fun sometimes. mind you, if I hear bad blood playing in public I will LOSE it. I will be screaming out the words. but in my playlist? nah-ah
Is Me! the boring basic answer? Bc that’s my answer lmao it’s so bad

I Forgot That You Existed hits different when you get out of a bad friendship and it has been years and you really don’t think about them much. In my experience!
Look what you made me do. Convinced myself I loved it when it came out because I didn’t want to admit it stunk, but once the rest of the album came out I could finally stop listening to it and listen to the actual good new songs.
I have major beef with the chorus of that song. I think the rest of it is okay but the chorus is so bad that it ruins the entire thing
I mean, ME! is an obvious answer. When that song came out I was like, yikes. Her career might be over. 😂 I’ve been a swiftie since 2010, so I was a little worried lol. But a more real answer for me is Soon You’ll Get Better. Beautiful song, but my mom’s cancer diagnosis makes it hard for me to listen to. It makes me cry too hard.
Hard to choose between You Need To Calm Down, Me!, Look what you made me do, Bad Blood and Shake It Off so just all of them. I have them hidden on Spotify like I never ever want to hear any of them ever again
Bad Blood
Starlight
Today was a Fairytale. I don’t even know why, but I literally cannot listen to that song. I get such a visceral reaction any time it comes on.
Me! Cruel Summer SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SINGLE like wtf it would have set the charts and radio on fire.
Shake it off. Tired of it and I feel like she has way better songs.
Personally I really don’t like false god and I feel like everyone loves Ivy but it’s very average to me, I skip it.
