10. Dear John
The song slowly deepens, containing cruel messages about the short-lived love story between Taylor and male singer John Mayer in 2009. A love story with no happy ending, no way out, even no lessons are learned – only forgotten memories are contained. John was very angry when he learned that Taylor wrote a song about the time the two dated.
9. Marjorie
The song Taylor Swift sings about her grandmother – Marjorie Finlay. The song talks about how we often understand our loved ones better only after they pass away, thereby creating a space for them to forever exist in our memories, turning their lives into stories to tell. later generations as a folk song.
8. Blank Space
The song is an ironic take on the media and the way they scrutinize and depict Taylor Swift’s private relationships. In the song, the female singer plays the role of a woman who “has a long list of ex-lovers” whose love stories only have a cycle.
7. Lover
The work is a Ballad with twangy guitar tones, in which Taylor Swift celebrates mature love. As she belts out the high notes in the chorus, listeners experience the feeling of being at the top of a roller coaster and then find themselves plummeting down at high speed, full of excitement.
6. Long Live
This is a heroic Country Rock song that plays the closing role of the album Speak Now . The song is about an ordinary girl who suddenly feels like she rules the world for just a moment. Long Live can be understood in many different ways: About a group of friends, about a teenage couple at graduation, about a singer confiding in his audience.
5. August
The song was written from the perspective of Taylor’s imaginary female character – whom the singer calls Augustine. This girl laments about a summer love affair that ended quickly, playing 90s Soft-Rock music with a guitar.
4. Delicate
Delicate is Taylor’s great success, a gentle song with soaring vocoder sounds. In the song, Taylor tries to hide her feelings but cannot control herself. As usual, the girls set strict emotional rules for themselves but then break them.
3. Mirrorball
Taylor transformed into a disco ball on the dance floor, wondering how people could be so confident and imagining what it would feel like. A Ballad about a lonely person who feels like he’s too loud and too bright, afraid of people looking at his weaknesses but still feels like he doesn’t exist.
2. New Romantic
New Romantics is the song where Taylor Swift brought the 80s Synth-Pop idea to its climax in the album 1989 . The lyrics are about rekindling one’s hope and energy after mental hardships.
1. All Too Well
Each version of All Too Well tells a different story, from the 10-minute version to the Acoustic guitar version on The Eras Tour. But each version feels like it’s Taylor Swift’s own because it’s never really a song about a guy like everyone assumes. A song about a girl with a piano, revealing her deepest secrets.
