Taylor Swift Has 250 Songs From Her Eleven Albums — And I Ranked Them All

Y'all, I'm sorry, but I will tell you right now that "August" is not in the top 10.

This song feels like a sequel to "Nothing New," with a tiny bit of "The Lucky One" — Taylor definitely is concerned with how ephemeral fame is, even though she's truly stood the test of time — but the fear definitely makes sense in the context of how we treat famous women as they get older. The lyrics feel pretty simple, but the second verse is strangely MUCH stronger — "I guess it's true that love is all you wanted, because you're giving it away like it's extra change, hoping it will end up in his pocket, but it leaves you out like a penny in the rain, oh 'cause it's not his price to pay" — life-changing. I love parts of this song, like the Red reference, and "I've stormed out of every room in this town," and I think it's pretty overall, but looking at each of the elements, I don't feel like I want to rate them super high.
