Here are some of the best and most overlooked Taylor Swift tracks for your pure enjoyment.
1. Invisible
Everyone seems to have forgotten about this heartbreaking song from Taylor's debut album—which is funny because it's a song about being overlooked by your crush. I think it's a cute, painful song with a great melody and a great story to listen to. Not to mention that she was only 16 years old when she wrote it.
2. A Perfectly Good Heart
This track was released when Taylor was still in her teenage years, and the song perfectly conveys the feelings a young person goes through at the end of their first serious relationship.
3. I’d Lie
This song was never on a T.S album and up to this day, I still wonder why Taylor did not release it. There's something about the song that makes me sad whenever I listen to it. I didn't really understand it when I first heard it, but this song just got better and better as I got older.
4. The Best Day
I don't know about you, but whenever this track comes up in a shuffle-play I cry. "Best day" is a track from the album fearless and it is a heartwarming song about how Taylor's father loved her when she was little and continues to love her. Isn't that sweet?
5. Never Grow Up
I have always considered this track as a sister song of 'The Best Day' from Fearless. As a certified swiftie I would probably say that 'Never Grow Up' is a dreamy take on childhood innocence. I personally love this track because it serves as a reminder to cherish every moment of love and joy.
6. Haunted
The album Speak Now has a lot of underrated songs, and I don't understand why. Haunted is one of my personal favorite tracks on this album, but apparently, it's also one of the most underrated ones.
7. Stay Stay Stay
This song never fails to make me smile whenever I listen to it. It's an ultimate bop from the "RED" album, and for the longest time, it makes me believe that love actually does exist.
8. I Almost Do
I Almost Do is a lyrical masterpiece, and I think everyone deserves to hear it at least once in their lifetime. I have no word for this song. Just Listen to it. Period.
9. Clean
Taylor wrote this song with Imogen Heap, and it's one of her most powerful songs. The melody and the beat of the song just take you slowly into a peaceful state of mind while the lyrics guide you and tell you to let all the sadness go. This track is just perfect.
10. This Love
"This Love" was the first song written for 1989 and was recorded shortly before Red's release. Swift described the song as "Like saying goodbye to the past and the previous four albums."
11. King Of My Heart
I have to be honest, this track from the Reputation album grew on me. It wasn't one of my favorite tracks on the album when it came out, but as I listen to it, the main vocal's expressiveness took me to heaven. It's a surreal and dreamy song that everyone should listen to.
12. Daylight
Taylor is like telling us that it's a new day for a new life on this track. It's a new beginning. I feel Daylight is so underrated for bigger ballads in the album overshadow it, but it's one of my favorites so far. In this song, Taylor gives the idea of hope that soon, everyone will see their Daylight in their lives.
13. It's Nice to Have a Friend
I was so taken aback the first time I heard "It's Nice to Have a Friend." I listened to the album in order, and it was just one of the most emotional experiences after following her music for so many years.
Phew. Taylor has given us so much!
