Not necessarily your favourite song or the one that performed the best.

But lyrically speaking, which of her songs do you think has the best writing?

A couple of my favs below. What do you think?

I guess a follow up to this would also be: what is your favourite line in her songs?

My three favourite written songs by her are:

Would’ve, Could’ve, Should’ve + Bigger Than the Whole Sky + Enchanted

All Too Well is an obvious go to too, but I think in terms of lyrical content and emotion… these are my picks!

“Living for the thrill of hitting you where it hurts, give me back my girlhood it was mine first”… INSANE!!

All Too Well is the obvious answer but I might be biased with that one, I think for pure emotional gut punch I’d go Marjorie. So simple but so effective and there’s heart in every single word.

cowboy like me is one for me! It’s so underrated on this forum i remember it leaving really early in the evermore survivor but I think it’s top tier Taylor lyrically.

Love Story. Very cute, romantic and girlish.

Favourite line "I like shiny things, but I'd marry you with paper rings" from Paper Rings.

I agree, in my opinion it’s her best written song! Such a beautiful story. I could genuinely go on for hours analysing it 😭

I love The Last Great American Dynasty lyrically. Great example of her storytelling imo.

I do love all too well for this reason too - even if it is an obvious choice.

Best lyric: There goes the maddest woman this town has ever seen
She had a marvelous time ruinin' everything"

Marjorie heart.gif folklore and evermore probably take the cake when it comes to Taylor’s songwriting talents. Even if either of them aren’t your favourite album it’s hard to argue they aren’t lyrical finesse

tolerate it as one...

my favorite lines:

While you were out building other worlds, where was I?
Where's that man who'd throw blankets over my barbed wire?
I made you my temple, my mural, my sky
Now I'm begging for footnotes in the story of your life
Drawing hearts in the byline
