P.S. I am only including her 11 studio albums, not her live albums 또는 other EPs (much smaller albums). I want to make sure this is a fair ranking, and it can't be fair if a 5 song album is compared to a 20+ song album.
Eleven
folklore (2020)
💋💋💋💋💋
Okay we are already starting off this list with probably my least 인기 opinion ever in the history of opinions. I am just not a 팬 of this album. I have listened to it many times but honestly? The only standout song is "august", which is in my 상단, 맨 위로 10 가장 좋아하는 Taylor songs of all-time. But the rest? It's very meh.
Favorite Songs: august, exile, the lakes, mad woman, seven
Ten
Taylor Swift (2006)
💋💋💋💋💋
Now don't get me wrong, I actually DO like this album quite a bit. It was a very solid debut, but when compared with other albums, it just doesn't make the cut unfortunately. I think it's because I'm not really a country 음악 fan. I try to force myself to listen to it on principle alone, but I'm just not into this as much as other albums.
Favorite Songs: Should've Said No, Cold As You, Tim McGraw, Teardrops On My Guitar, Our Song
Nine
Fearless (Taylor's Version) (2021)
💋💋💋💋💋
This album was so much better than the original Platinum version. Her voice is so beautiful here, and the songs excite me 더 많이 than the original did. I also 사랑 the 둥근 천장, 금고 tracks. All of this makes this album 더 많이 'listen-able' than I felt it was before. However, I still don't crave it the way I do other albums.
Favorite Songs: That's When, Mr. Perfectly Fine, We Were Happy, Fearless, Bye Bye Baby
Eight
Speak Now (2010)
💋💋💋💋💋
This album contains some of her most underrated songs, which I find strange because within the fandom, this album is very popular. However, I only see people talk about 마법에 걸린 사랑 as if that's the only song on the album. I 사랑 everything about this era too - the dresses, the music, even the color.
Favorite Songs: Haunted, Last Kiss, Long Live, Sparks Fly, Innocent
Seven
Lover (2019)
💋💋💋💋💋
Upon first listen, I really did not like this album. The only standout song to me that I instantly liked is "Miss Americana". But when I realized that this album was all for Joe, that's when I tried to give it another listen. It is just a really cute album. The concept and style surrounding this era were amazing! This is definitely a bubblegum pop album, but that's alright because I 사랑 that genre!
Favorite Songs: Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince, Cruel Summer, Cornelia Street, It's Nice To Have A Friend, False God
Six
Reputation (2017)
💋💋💋💋💋
Okay now this is going to start getting difficult. I have a strong personal attachment to this album and the era as a whole. When I first heard "End Game", I was captivated. And that is when I *officially* became a stan, at least publicly 🤗 Listening to the album the first time, I instantly loved it. It was such a unique sound coming from her that it's hard not to like it. It is also one of my most listened to Taylor albums. I always crave it.
Favorite Songs: Dancing With Our Hands Tied, End Game, Getaway Car, So It Goes..., ...Ready For It?
Five
Midnights (2022)
💋💋💋💋💋
When first listening, I thought this could be my 가장 좋아하는 album 또는 at the very least 2nd favorite. After listening to it obsessively for about a week, I realized the first impression I had was a bit exaggerated. Don't get me wrong, this IS a great album and "Would've, Could've, Should've" became an instant 가장 좋아하는 ("give me back my girlhood, it was mine first") 😭 and that line is iconic. Taylor is such an emotional singer, but that lyric is her most powerful and emotional she's ever been.
Favorite Songs: Would've, Could've, Should've, Lavender Haze, Karma, Maroon, The Great War
Four
1989 (2014)
💋💋💋💋💋
Ugh! Now this is hard. *deep breath* Okay I have a confession to make. I also didn't 사랑 this album at first, I just thought it was okay. But I didn't allow myself to 사랑 it until the era was long over because...she kind of really annoyed me during this era. She was everywhere and I was kind of sick of it. But I 사랑 this album so so much now! It's her best pure pop album in my opinion, and there isn't a single skip!
Favorite Songs: 당신 Are In Love, New Romantics, Clean, Shake It Off, Blank Space

evermore (2020)
💋💋💋💋💋
*hyperventilates* I do not love folklore, and when I first listened to this, I liked it. I immediately thought it was better than folklore. Overall, I'm not usually a 팬 of this kind of "indie" 음악 but I don't know...honestly, I was really high one 일 and listening to it and it just hit me (like bang!) that this is an excellent album. I listen to it a TON now, but I have not grown sick of it. I have the lyrics to many songs in my head pretty much constantly. And I hate to say it but...it just might beat out my #1 someday.
Favorite Songs: right where 당신 left me, marjorie, coney island, tolerate it, champagne problems
Two
Red (Taylor's Version) (2021)
💋💋💋💋💋
I am beyond emotionally invested in this album and era. Red was the first album of Taylor's I listened to in whole, and I was a secret 팬 for awhile until 1989's era. I instantly fell in love with this album on the opening chords of "State of Grace". I was then impressed 의해 her lyricism in that same song. And then "Red" came on and I was even 더 많이 impressed. Look, I have a very very complicated history with Taylor and my "sister" in-law is also obsessed with Taylor but she and I don't like each other so it's been kind of...interesting, at the very least, to watch my obsession with Taylor grow too. I have fond memories of me listening to this album alone, without anyone knowing, and really enjoying it. I was beyond thrilled when she decided to release Taylor's Version because that meant we'd be getting even more! tracks from the era. I haven't found a better connection with any of Taylor's albums before 또는 since Red.
Favorite Songs: All Too Well (10 분 Version), Holy Ground, Treacherous, The Last Time, Sad Beautiful Tragic
One
The Tortured Poets Department (2024)
💋💋💋💋💋
It happened. I think Red may have 로스트 the 제목 of my 가장 좋아하는 album because I am just obsessed with this album! At the time of writing, I have been listening to it NONSTOP for over 48 hours. No, I mean nonstop! I even sleep to it now. This is such a beautiful work of art, and it actually reminds me of Red so no wonder I adore it so much! I call it Red's sister. It's her best work so far and is pure poetry. So addicted.
Favorite Songs: The Prophecy, I Hate It Here, Florida!!!, Down Bad, The Alchemy
