November 13, 20177 yr "The Last Time" should be top five but because it features a male it'll probably be bottom five. "Starlight" for highest album track!
November 14, 20177 yr 'Sad Beautiful Classic' is going to underperform :cry:. TLT, SBT, SOG and ATW for top 4.
November 17, 20177 yr Author 19. Sad Beautiful Tragic - 5.23 zmhOVonuOcU Highest scores: 10 (John James) Lowest scores: -1 (Liam), 0 (Ultraviolence) Bye. I'm glad this is out in last, definitely deserving of being at the bottom of the album rate. One of the most boring songs of Taylor's career (I would say most boring but then Innocent exits) and this just goes absolutely nowhere and has little replay-ability factor. So dull and it scrapes just over a 5 average here with SBT scoring both a 10 and a -1
November 22, 20177 yr Author 18. Everything Has Changed (feat. Ed Sheeran) - 6.34 w1oM3kQpXRo Highest scores: 9 (Josh), 8.5 (Harry, Liam, Michael, Spadam, Ultraviolence) Lowest scores: -1 (JohnJames), 0 (Johnkm) I'm actually shocked this is so low here :( I did think this'd be bottom five but I'm surprised this is gone before TLT/some of the album track fillers on Red. EHC is the first single to leave the rate and was the 4th top 10 from the album for Taylor in the UK and was a big hit <3 This isn't my favourite from Red but I'd probably have this about 12th/13th, I think this gets a lil bit of a hard time due to the fact Ed is on the song as I'm sure it'd be at least a couple of places higher without him! Taylor is fab on this (Ed less so, I find him so dull on this) and the lyrics are cute <3 End Game better do better than this in the Reputation rate though! EHC scored an average of +6 and is over a point above distant last place Sad Beautiful Tragic!
November 22, 20177 yr Lol. The chorus on that song is honestly so bad, their voices sound awful together. I actually used to like it a lot but it's definitely in the lower half of the album.
November 23, 20177 yr Author 17. The Last Time (feat. Gary Lightbody) - 6.54 QuijXg8wm28 Highest scores: 10 (Theo), 9.5 (Harry) Lowest scores: 0 (Ultraviolence), 2 (Liam) This should've dropped out two songs ago but this isn't too bad. The Last Time is one of my least favourite Taylor songs (I think only Innocent and possibly SBT are worse than it), idk why I've always found it so dull and its always worse than I remember when I listen to it :( I acc really like Gary usually and Chasing Cars is one of my fave songs ever but I just don't find that Gary & Taylor's voices go together at all and their voices together are just a mess. I really hate the final chorus and I find this so meh. This is already the 2nd single out in 3 songs (oops!) and this peaked at #25 in the UK iirc after an X-Factor performance! TLT scored 0.2 higher than EHC to become Buzzjack's fave male collab from Red!
November 24, 20177 yr The Last Time gets a lot of flack but I find it to be beautiful :wub: Shame on you Buzzjack :(
November 24, 20177 yr Sad Beautiful Tragc and The Last Time are both AWFUL, her two worst along with Never Grow Up and probably her only 3 songs I'd say I dislike. EHC really isn't that bad lmao
November 27, 20177 yr Author 16. Come Back... Be Here - 6.88 2OQW88-yPys Highest scores: 9.5 (JohnJames), 8.5 (Ultraviolence) Lowest scores: 4 (Michael), 5 (Josh, Theo) The first of the 3 deluxe tracks to drop out is also the weakest one for me personally! Come Back... Be Here is a good Taylor ballad and even though she's done way better ballads than this, this is still a really strong ballad and I would have put this on the album over some of the similar songs that actually appeared on Red. I wouldn't have had this top 10 here but I'd probs have placed this a couple of places higher than this! Another jump in average as CBBH scores nearly 0.5 higher than TLT!
November 27, 20177 yr Author 15. The Lucky One - 7.08 WVgIRW5nf50 Highest scores: 9.5 (Harry), 9 (SamJudd) Lowest scores: 4 (All Is Vanity), 5 (Theo, Ultraviolence) The first song in the top 15 comes from album track The Lucky One, which received mixed to high scores. This is definitely one of the fillery tracks for me and this is deluxe album track at best (actually I could kind of see this fitting on Fearless and being one of the forgettable tracks on there but on Red it stands out for me). It's a nice song but Taylor has done way better than this! Another jump in average means that the top 15 all scored over a 7 average!
December 1, 20177 yr Author 14. Girl At Home - 7.21 XIZLZYaBkt4 Highest scores: 10 (Ultraivolence), 9 (John James, SamJudd) Lowest scores: 1 (Michael), 6 (All Is Vanity, Johnkm) Next out is the second deluxe track, Girl At Home! I adore this and I am gutted its fallen out so early, I wish it made the top 10 here and that it was included on the main album as it definitely deserves a place on there! (though at least it didn't completely flop unlike in the ATRL rate where it came dead last :/). Girl At Home is Taylor doing a typical country-pop-bop that's a whole load of fun and I love the lyrics. Such a good song <3 GAH scored just over 0.10 higher than TLO!
December 1, 20177 yr Author 13. The Moment I Knew - 7.29 XXC7DMAm460 Highest scores: 10 (John James, Ultraviolence), 8.5 (Liam, SamJudd) Lowest scores: 3 (Theo), 5.5 (Harry) And in Taylor's lucky number 13th, we lose the final deluxe album track in the form of one the album highlights 'The Moment I Knew', which just misses out on 11th place by 0.02! The Moment I Knew is an utterly stunning ballad that really hit me this year, Taylor's vocals shine - in particular on the chorus - and lyrically this song is emotional and beautiful. Definitely one of my favourite Taylor tracks and another song that deserved to be on the main album! <3 The Moment I Knew beats GAH by under 0.10 to be the highest deluxe track
