(Taylor takes care to leave it open - but has any boy in her songs ever stopped at a streetlight?) Key question: Was James in his car driving around the party listening to 1989? Because he follows all the advice she gives in “How You Get the Girl” and (surprise) it works.1 Harmonica Beginner Manual, th 4 Edition Instructor, Frank Strong, Jr. (Her live version at the Academy of Country Music Awards in September 2020 was an arena-rock blast, for the year with no arenas.) Also love how when Taylor steps into the mind of a 17-year-old boy, the first thing she fantasizes about his male privilege is the right to make unchallenged assumptions. Picture all the beer that will get sloshed on you when it’s So I Showed Up To Your Party o’clock. Every aspect of “Betty” sounds designed to explode when she finally gets to take it to the stage, from the “Thunder Road” harmonica to the most shameless lighters-up key change of her career. The Betty/Inez/James love triangle is at the heart of Folklore, inspiring three of its best songs. So let’s step back from the image and pay homage to her one-of-a-kind songbook - because the weirdest and most fascinating thing about Taylor Swift will always be her music. These are the songs that sum up her wit, her empathy, her flair for emotional excess, her girls-to-the-front bravado, her urge to ransack every corner of pop history, her determination to turn any chorus into a ridiculous spectacle. Sister Tay may be the last true rock star on the planet, making brilliant moves (or catastrophic gaffes, because that’s what rock stars do). It’s a tribute to her fierce creative energy - in the past couple years she’s released an avalanche of new music, with more on the way. For the Taylor’s Version remakes, both versions count as the same song. Since Taylor loves nothing more than causing chaos in our lives, she’s re-recording her albums, including the outtakes she left in the vault before. (I guarantee you are a more fascinating human than the Twilight guy, though I’m probably not.) All that matters is whether they’re about you and me. But they’re not ranked by popularity, sales or supposed celebrity quotient - just the level of Taylor genius on display, from the perspective of a fan who generally does not give a rat’s nads who the songs are “really” about. The hits, the flops, the deep cuts, the covers, from her raw 2006 debut as a teen country ingenue right up to MidnightsĮvery fan would compile a different list-that’s the beauty of it. She’s got at least 5 or 6 dozen songs that seem to belong in her Top Ten. Let’s break it down: all 229 tunes, counted from the bottom to the top. So with all due respect to Taylor the myth, the icon, the red-carpet tabloid staple, let’s celebrate the real Taylor - the songwriter she was born to be. She was soaring on the level of the all-time greats before she was old enough to rent a car, with the crafty guile of a Carole King and the reckless heart of a Paul Westerberg - and she hasn’t exactly slowed down since then. It’s in her music where she’s made her mark on history - as a performer, record-crafter, guitar hero and all-around pop mastermind, with songs that can leave you breathless or with a nasty scar. But Swift was a songwriter before she was a star, and she’ll be a songwriter long after she graduates from that racket. Taylor Swift the celebrity is such a magnet for attention, she can distract from TAYLOR SWIFT THE artist.
