  • Every Taylor Swift Song Ranked from Worst to Best
    Every Taylor Swift Song Ranked From Worst To Best So, I recently posted my blog post about how I ranked Taylor Swift’s Albums. That, in and of itself, was a hard thing for me to do. Taylor Swift is one of my, if not my, favorite singer of all time. There is just something about her music that I connect to really well, more so than a lot of other artists. In the interest of wanting to make more posts about music in general (Not only T-Swift), but I’ve also decided to rank her songs from worst to best. Now, a quick disclaimer. I am only doing the songs from her albums, including the ones on deluxe editions. I am not rating any acoustic versions or anything like that though. I am also not rating any songs that she appears on. (Such as “I Don’t Want To Live Forever” and Highway Don’t Care”). I am, however, including songs on her albums that other people appear on (“Everything Has Changed” “End Game”). I also forgot to add in “Safe and Sound” feat. The Civil Wars, so I apologize for that. Also, please be aware that these are my own personal opinions as of right now. I’m ranking the songs based on 1. Lyrics and 2. How much I actually enjoyed the song. For me, a song that I can enjoy is better than a song that might be better “lyrically.” Enough of this explanation though. Are we ready to see the list? 98. “Look What You Made Me Do” The music video is kick ass.

  • What Liking Taylor Swift Taught Me About Deviating from Societal Norms
    What liking Taylor Swift taught me about deviating from societal norms Graphic by Emily Qian I’ve never had a good answer when people asked me what music I liked. Usually, I would default to an evasive response, like “oh, everything” or even better, “anything but country.” Sometimes, I found myself trying to give answers that aligned with the other person’s taste or, worse, with what I thought they expected me to listen to. But in truth, none of these answers were completely accurate. My music taste has always been hard to define. I love kicking back to Kendrick Lamar albums, but can also jam to hits from the 70s and 80s at the same time. And perhaps most jarring of all, I love Taylor Swift. Revealing this fact would almost always precipitate some level of surprise. When you think of Swifties, you probably don’t envision 16-year-old boys. Gut-reactions like these are fundamentally built upon perceptual categorizations of others into what they “should” be. Teenage boys should be interested in trap or rock, not Taylor Swift. Likewise, the traditional Swiftie should be a teenage girl who became infatuated with Taylor’s definition of music and femininity at a young age. Few of these characteristics are mine. A problem arises when we stereotype and label others at first glance, even if it’s on an implicit level, because they fuel specious and misleading societal norms. These norms are what end up dictating our music tastes, boxing people into what tunes they ought to be drawn to and ultimately controlling our enjoyment.

The popular interests of teenage girls, such as Taylor Swift, Twilight, or the Beatles, have been used to invalidate young women across America, reducing them to the idea of “basic”—someone who thinks they are unique but likes mainstream trends, such as wearing leggings and drinking Starbucks.
