Happy Birthday Taylor!

Here’s to a singer who has shown incredible versatility, to the best songwriter of this generation, one of the strongest women who never bowed down, to the artist whose music videos are fun to decode, to the person who is sweet and yet always ready to speak for herself, to a celebrity who feels real and to one of the kindest people ever! Happy Birthday! *all hail the queen*

So, today I’d like to list a song from each of her albums which I feel are gravely underrated. Here we go:

1.Tied Together With A Smile ( Taylor Swift )

Taylor Swift – Tied Together with a Smile - Song Meanings and Facts

Hold on, baby; you’re losing it

The water’s high, you’re jumping into it

And letting go, and no one knows

That you cry; but you don’t tell anyone

That you might not be the golden one

And you’re tied together with a smile

But you’re coming undone

-chorus

Can we please appreciate the fact that she was 16 when the album released? The lyrics of the song feel so real and they hit you in your soul as someway it holds true for all of us. The soft melody, her voice, everything’s soothing and the words make you realize your own phases. This one’s a definite favorite for me.

2. Change (Fearless)

isn’t she like soo pretty?

These walls that they put up to hold us back will fall down

This revolution, the time will come

For us to finally win

This is one of those songs you hear to uplift yourself. Its catchy and doesn’t sound like someone’s just saying things for the sake of it. I mean there are songs or stories meant to make you feel motivated but you don’t ever feel connected to them. This one’s not a part of them.

3. Enchanted ( Speak Now )

Walls of insincerity, shifting eyes, and vacancies

Vanished when I saw your face

What can I say except the fact that this song is enchanting and always leaves me wonderstruck every time I hear it?😍

4. Holy Ground (Red)

We blocked the noise with the sound of “I need you”

And for the first time I had something to lose

This one is like my 3rd favorite song on Red ( as All Too Well and State of Grace exist~) and everyone pays it dust! Her vocals in this one are sooooo good.

5. How You Get The Girl (1989)

And then you say

I want you for worse or for better

I would wait for ever and ever

This one is such a fun bop and an instant mood lifter. Listen to it when you’re angry or frustrated and trust me you’ll vibe to it.

6. I Did Something Bad ( Reputation )

I never trust a narcissist

But they love me

So I play ’em like a violin

And I make it look oh so easy

Taylor Swift gave a new feeling to the word ‘shit’ and I firmly stand by this opinion. This one is like one of the best songs of her. A rebel anthem and soo empowering

7. Death By A Thousand Cuts (Lover)

You said it was a great love

One for the ages

If the story’s over

Why am I still writing pages?

Everything about this song screams beauty! We always love a sad song by Taylor ’cause they are always amazing, and this is no exception.

8. My Tears Ricochet (Folklore)

I didn’t have it in myself to go with grace

And so the battleships will sink beneath the waves

You had to kill me, but it killed you just the same

Brace yourselves before you hear this sing ’cause I swear your mind will blown up into the exosphere or perhaps even beyond that!

9. No Body, No Crime (Evermore)

Taylor Swift & HAIM's "No Body, No Crime" Set To Impact Country Radio On  January 11

Is it just me or was everyone hooked up with Este’s story?

The vocals and the music are seriously commendable

And that’s it. Tell me which ones you have heard and the ones which you think need more ears. Lets converse in the comments!

  1. Death by a thousand cuts is actually such a SAD SONG like extremely sad if you look at the lyrics but aahahh it’s so good
    and my tears ricochet is 😭😭😭 out of this universe
    all of her songs are so good she is so talented love this post!!!
    i feel taylor’s songs aren’t really underrated if you look at the fanbase.. because i feel every song of hers has been, at some point, someone’s favorite – because she is just so good- all the songs might not have the hype but they’re all just really good .
    excellent post akshitaa!!!

    1. Ikr,
      I love Look what you made me do as well. I love the starting part where the grave says, “Here lies Taylor Swift’s reputation”, the whole video is soo good. And of course her vocals🤩

      Thanks for reading!

  3. Oh gosh, yes, enchanted has my heart! The high notes are just scary 🤩.
    And no body no crime is a masterpiece, like goosebumps!!!!
    I did something bad is such a mood, whenever I listen to it I get obsessed all over again!
    And death by a thousand cuts has one of the best bridges ever! I love that even tho it’s a sad song, sometimes you just forget it and listen and enjoy.
    Great post!! Happy badday Taylorrrrr!! 😍
