12: Taylor Swift - Say Don't Go (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault)

 

Album track from "1989 (Taylor's Version)"

Lyric: "i'm trying to see the cards that you won't show"

 

 

Taylor again! This time with a stunning vault track from 1989 Taylor's Version that just missed out on my top 10. It was my favourite vault track for a while but has been recently *just about* overtaken.

 

11: Taylor Swift - Castles Crumbling (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault)

 

Album track from “Speak Now (Taylor's Version)"

Lyric: “smoke billows from my ships in the harbor"

 

 

Aaaand that makes three in a row for my queen of 2023!! :wub: Speak Now TV is home to my favourite set of vault tracks, as shown by the fact that this is the first of 3 in my top 15. Castles Crumbling is an absolutely stunning song, and Taylor & Hayley’s voices just fit *perfectly* together on it <3

10: Olivia Rodrigo - making the bed

 

Album track from “GUTS”

Lyric: “i’m playing the victim so well in my head, but it's me who's been making the bed"

 

 

What a beautiful song this is <3 the lyrics are the highlight of the song and I relate to them so much :wub:

9: Taylor Swift - Is It Over Now? (Taylor's Version) (From The Vault)

 

Single from “1989 (Taylor's Version)”

Lyric: “you search in every model's bed for something greater"

 

 

The single from Taylor's latest re-recording is one that has grown on me MASSIVELY since it came out. The perfect closing track, and that BRIDGE :cheeseblock:

8: Olivia Rodrigo - love is embarrassing

 

Album track from “GUTS”

Lyric: “watch as I crucify myself, for some weird second string loser who's not worth mentioning"

 

 

The second GUTS track in the top 10! Olivia really excels at the punk / rock sound - ‘love is embarrassing’ is a total bop and my highlight from the album <3

7: Anne-Marie feat. Shania Twain - UNHEALTHY

 

Single from "UNHEALTHY"

Lyric: “when they try to stop me, just know nobody can"

 

 

A country pop bop collaboration I definitely didn't see coming but love nonetheless! This was my most played song of 2023 and I'm still not tired of it :wub:

6: Mimi Webb - Freezing

 

Single from “Amelia”

Lyric: “i’ve shut that door and swallowed the keys"

 

 

The sister song to House On Fire (a top 10 from last year’s EOY) and my favourite song from Mimi Webb’s debut album. :bop:

 

5: Anne-Marie feat. Khalid - YOU & I

 

Single from “UNHEALTHY”

Lyric: “the “dark days are better when we’re together

 

 

Loved this song right from the moment I heard it at her album launch show in Kingston. Their voices go so well together and it’s just stunning <3

 

 

4: Taylor Swift feat. Fall Out Boy - Electric Touch (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault)

 

Album track from “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)”

Lyric: "this could either break my heart or bring it back to life"

 

 

Another song which was love at first listen. Didn’t expect to like it when the tracklist was announced but WHAT a bop!

3: Taylor Swift - You’re Losing Me (From The Vault)

 

Album Track from “Midnights (Late Night Edition)”

Lyric: “i wouldn’t marry me either, a pathological people pleaser

 

 

A heartbreaking but beautiful song which delivers one of Taylor’s BEST bridges ever. I’ve been obsessed with this ever since I listened to it on a Google Drive link back in May, but so glad it’s finally on streaming now!

2: Griff - Vertigo

 

Single

Lyric: “said don't look down and then you do, you put your past on me and you

 

 

A song that I was obsessed with ever since she started teasing it on TikTok, and I’m still not tired of it. The lyrics, the bridge, it’s just a beautiful song imo imo and I can’t wait to see what Griff can deliver this year!

1: Taylor Swift - I Can See You(Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault)

 

Single from “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)”

Lyric: wait 'til you see half the things that haven't happened yet

 

 

And we have our number 1. The best song from my favourite set of vault tracks, I Can See You is a song I was NOT expecting to hear on Speak Now but one that has grown into a discography highlight of Taylor's for me, and my favourite song of 2023! :cheeseblock:
