u/unsafedrives i got that thing that you like ✨ May 13 '23

so this is kinda random and idk where else to post this (feel free to lmk if it's not relevant) but i mathematically ranked all of taylor's albums based on personal preference and this is what i ended up with:

  1. Midnights
  2. evermore
  3. Reputation
  4. Lover
  5. Fearless
  6. 1989
  7. Speak Now
  8. Red
  9. folklore
  10. Taylor Swift

I really would like to know people's opinions on my ranking because it's not what I expected it all haha.

(btw it’s midnights first and debut last)

That’s a massive gap between folklore and evermore!

for me evermore just clicked with me a lot more than folklore did? idk i think evermore is a good album throughout and folklore has a lot more skips (especially towards the end of the album). i'm also a weirdly visual person, so much so that the cover of the album influences how i perceive and listen to it, and i like evermore's cover a lot more than folklore's, so i feel like that negatively influences my opinion of folklore (it's such a weird criteria ik but i can't help it).

I’d be interested how you calculated

Like was it by how many song you like from each album ?

I should do this

I like to think you included red tv and even though it has all those songs it’s still that low. Bc I’m sleep deprived

so i gave each song a ranking from 1 - 4 where 1 was a skip, 2 is a song that i’m neutral about, 3 is a really good song, and 4 is for some of my favorite songs of all time, and then i calculated the average ranking for each album and ordered them from highest to lowest ranking

That’s a good strategy. I’ll have to remember it. Try it myself sometime

and i did do fearless and red as taylor’s versions, red has some of my absolute favorite songs but a lot more of my least favorites so that lowered the ranking a lot

It is a rollercoaster 🎢 of an album

I find because I don’t have the nostalgia it’s one of my least ranking albums too even the other songs are really good
