Taylor Swift is a global star. There’s no doubt about that. But she has had a journey of her own. Her albums over the years have been proof enough.
Here are 5 Taylor Swift albums ranked from best to worst:
Folklore
“Folklore” is an absolute gem, a spicy fusion of folk and pop that mesmerizes with its tales and clever wordplay. Every track on the album shines, showcasing Swift’s musical storytelling prowess. It was the pinnacle of 2020’s music scene and remains the apex of Swift’s illustrious career, an unmatched masterpiece that captivated both critics and fans, leaving an indelible mark on our cultural landscape.
Speak Now
“Speak Now” is a hidden gem in Taylor Swift’s discography, often overlooked but filled with delightful surprises. Positioned between the widely popular “Fearless” and the beloved “Red,” it quietly captivated dedicated fans while casual listeners missed out on its charm. The track re-releases on 7 July as Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).
Evermore
“Evermore” doesn’t quite reach the heights of “Folklore,” but it surpasses the rest of the competition in 2020. Swift, Dessner, and Antonoff joined forces once again to craft a captivating assortment of enchanting tunes that unfold like intricate tales or intimate diary entries. This compilation offers a diverse range of sounds, although it may lose some coherence towards the latter part of the album. Nonetheless, “Evermore” exudes abundant empathy and innovative brilliance, featuring some of the most evocative lyrics ever conceived by Swift.
Taylor Swift
While many consider “Taylor Swift” to be Swift’s weakest album, it’s important to note that all of her albums are of high quality. In any ranking system, there has to be a “worst” album, and “Taylor Swift” often gets overlooked due to it being her initial and relatively basic work.
Reputation
Swifties will agree that “Reputation” is meant to be experienced live, as evident in the electrifying concert film. However, outside of the live performances, the album itself falls short. The tracklist contains some of Swift’s weakest choices to date. The production often overshadows Swift’s sharp lyricism, resulting in an impersonal and heavy-handed feel. The album’s highs are not consistent enough to salvage the overall score.
