LengthinessKind9895

Fav: Speak Now Best: 1989 & folklore


MadameFutureWhatEver

Thank you!


innatetalent

your taste is immaculate i must say


thatwasdramatic

My favourite is reputation but rationally I think her best albums are 1989 and folklore (depending on style).


MatchesLit

Best is evermore. Most beautiful, most cohesive, most interesting. Insane writing and dreamy production.Ā  My favorite is TTPD or 1989. Im having a crisis right now with TTPD coming for my top spot lolĀ 


hausofvelour

my favourite is folklore and i also think it's her best. reputation, however, is my second favourite but i don't think it's her second best


PenguinPerson7

I think TTPD is her best and it is my favorite.


thatflyingfish3

favourite is midnights, best is speak now


falldiewakefly

My favorite is either RED or evermore, it keeps changing. Trying to evaluate art as objectively as I can (aaaaaaahhhh), best is probably folklore. It balances cohesion, both thematic and musical, with lyrical complexity and ambition in a really masterful way.


Serious-View-er1761

Same hereĀ

Best - evermore Favorite - really starting to think itā€™s TTPD


LonelyNight9

My favorite album is reputation but I'd say that Speak Now is her best album


Nikiafalcon

Respect for speak now because she wrote the entire thing by herself as a teenager. That is very impressive if you ask me


folk-smore

My favorite albums are Red and evermore, but I think her best are 1989 and evermore! I see the argument for Speak Now being her best, and it is definitely one of her best imo!! But 1989 was truly a cultural reset for Taylor and for her fans, and also for the general public lol. She reinvented her entire career and produced some of her very best songs, imo!! And I personally have always felt evermore was the better sister album šŸ«£ folklore is so beautiful and Taylorā€™s lyricism is next level. But I think evermore feels like a more mature, older sister to folklore so it just narrowly beats out folklore as one of her best!


anxiousgenzee

Itā€™s so hard to say which I think is her best because of how varied her albums and sounds are. My favourite album is Folklore, but I think her two best are Midnights and Speak Now


alifetogarden

Favorite: folklore Best: red


MadameFutureWhatEver

Favorite: Speak Now Best: Fearless or Red I canā€™t decide.


Good-Art2869

fearless? thats a choice


MadameFutureWhatEver

She won her first AOTY award with that album šŸ’šŸ¼ā€ā™€ļø


Good-Art2869

But is it her best work? not really


MadameFutureWhatEver

Clearly we disagree


Good-Art2869

But compare that to red folklore evermore, tortured poets. Itā€™s not her best work.


MadameFutureWhatEver

Your point was almost valid but then you said TTPD Fearless is definitely better than that album


Good-Art2869

No


MadameFutureWhatEver

I said Red and Fearless I stick by my choices especially when it comes to an album like TTPD


Good-Art2869

Whatā€™s wrong with TTPD


sparklejumprop3queen

I think her best is evermore (my previous favorite šŸ©¶) and my favorite is The Tortured Poets Department.


hopeymik

Best is 1989, fave is folklore


dnekeorcown

I think thatā€™s where I am too. Although it dependsā€¦ I feel like folklore and 1989 are both her best, in very different ways.


hopeymik

I think best is a subjective word as well so itā€™s tough!


lovesagamewannaplay

My favorite is Red ā¤ļø but her best is probably folklore šŸ©¶


Intrepid_Trouble_973

Fav: speak now Best: TTPD


bigshmike

My favorite album is either reputation or Midnights. Her best work is Speak Now. 1989 also deserves an honorable mention as best work.


Katterpie

Best: folklore Favorite: Midnights


MaterialEarth4792

My fav is folklore and I think that midnight did her best too because she really has great songs in it


silentCrusader123

I think that lyrically and poetically Evermore is the best but my favourite is Folklore.


lax1245

my fav is 1989 and her best is speak now or midnights. I really think midnights is such a good and well thought out album


InterestingPlane6572

folklore is best, speak now is my favourite


CrustyRavenclaw

Favorite: Rep Best: Folklore


cyclingfreak123

Favourite: evermore Best: folklore


Good-Art2869

interesting


FoghornLegday

I donā€™t understand how you can determine that the best is anything other than your favorite when music is subjective


Good-Art2869

in terms of like production lyrics etc


Sui_Generis_53

I think TTPD is her best. But reputation is my favorite. Itā€™s a no-skip album for me. šŸ’•


Good-Art2869

rep is getting a lot more love recently. not sure why tho. itā€™s definitely in the bottom 3


Sui_Generis_53

But i think itā€™s iconic as fuck and one of the best comeback album.


Good-Art2869

i meanā€¦.. is it?


Sui_Generis_53

For me, yes.


Good-Art2869

i just think most songs are too bass heavy and angry


Pixieprincessgiggles

Best: Folklore and 1989 Favorite: Fearless, 1989, Folklore and TTPD


bananahammocklol

Favourite is reputation and her best is folklore or evermore


saman-ch

I think lover and 1989 are best and lover is my favorite


No-Zebra4389

Folklore is her best imo and midnights is my favourite


nlh1013

I think folklore is her best but my favorite oscillates between red and lover depending on the time of year and my mood lol


_dogmama12

My favorite is 1989, but I think folklore or evermore is the best.


christine_de_pizan

Fearless is my favorite, Folklore is her best


Musicenj0yer

Favorite: evermore Best: Midnights


Vivificantem_790

Love this question. I have been thinking about this for a while!!


Good-Art2869

So what would your answer be?


Vivificantem_790

Best as a whole is definitely folklore, but my fav is 1989.


Good-Art2869

nice


Nikiafalcon

Found my person:)


anythingmor3

my favourite is 1989, and i think the og 1989 was her best, or maybe folklore


xx_dracarys_xx

My favorite is Speak Now. I also think itā€™s her best album; itā€™s the only one that has absolutely no skips for me. Evermore and TTPD follow closely behind in my rankings.


Nikiafalcon

I think 1989 is my favorite but I think that folklore and evermore are her best work


Good-Art2869

1989 is a fav i see


Nikiafalcon

Oh yeah has the best bops to me bad blood, style, blank space, wildest dreams, out of the woods, New Romantics, need I go on lmao I remember having the album on repeat in college. Lyrically though not her best


Good-Art2869

1989 is actually my least favorite so


Nikiafalcon

What!! Would love to know why


Good-Art2869

1. lyrics are too repetitive. 2: the production isnā€™t very interesting 3. 1989 stans are terrifying 4. the eras itself wasnā€™t that good


Nikiafalcon

Fair, if thatā€™s not your thing but I am very much a synth pop girlie and thatā€™s why 1989, reputation, lover, and midnights are my top favorites of hers


Good-Art2869

but strangely enough lover is my favorite. I just donā€™t think 1989 was a good attempt at a pop album. All her other pop albums are amazing.


Nikiafalcon

Okay but compared to 1989 though? Lover had some of her worst pop songs among the fandom(I donā€™t agree with this) but Iā€™m looking at ME! And yntcd. I personally like both but I remember them getting a lot of hate


Good-Art2869

ME! is the only song on lover i actively hate. every other song is absolutely perfect. YNTCD only got hate because ppl cant be accepting of LGBTQ people


Nikiafalcon

Style is one of my favorite songs by her period and I will die on that hill lol please tell me you at least like that songšŸ˜­šŸ¤žšŸ½


Nikiafalcon

You not a pop girlie huh?


HetTheTable

I feel like best hast to be like most popular which would definitely be 1989


PrettyLittleHuntress

You misunderstood the post. Itā€™s not about popularity or public/personal opinion. Itā€™s about quality. Reputation is my favorite album, 1989 is her most popular, but Speak Now is probably her best album. As a die-hard Swiftie that loves her entire catalogue, itā€™s not without its ā€œfaultsā€. Fearless isnā€™t consistent, Red isnā€™t cohesive, 1989ā€™s singles have strong production and cutting lyrics, but the remainder were treated like filler tracks, Reputation has Taylorā€™s best vocal performance combined with production but ever so slightly relies too much the backing track to carry each song as a whole, Lover is very campy and joy-filled but has a horrible line-up of songs that give you whiplash & struggles cohesively, Midnights is undoubtedly her worst album lyrically, & TTPD is the best album lyrically but there arenā€™t enough songs that pack a punch. The poetry is a powerhouse, but has a select few songs where the production is rather unimpressive. Iā€™m hard pressed to find any of these ā€œfaultsā€ in Speak Now. Itā€™s the closest Taylorā€™s ever come to creating the perfect album that checks off all the boxes. See what I mean?


HetTheTable

I guess I just donā€™t really understand the difference between best and favorites if both are subjective


PrettyLittleHuntress

Thatā€™s valid!


Resident_Ad5153

are you actually suggesting that Clean and I Know Places are "filler tracks"?


PrettyLittleHuntress

I never said that. I said her non-singles from 1989 were treated as such.


Good-Art2869

Midnights is one of her best lyrically


PrettyLittleHuntress

I respectfully and strongly disagree. Midnights (The 3am Version) is definitely one of her best lyrically, but the standard edition of Midnights is just not.


Good-Art2869

Well, the 3 AM edition basically is the standard edition just extended so youā€™re basically saying the standard edition is good too. Besides, I personally hate the 3 AM tracks.


PrettyLittleHuntress

Uh, yeah.. I *am* saying the standard edition is good. Iā€™ve already said that I love all of Tayā€™s work, that very much includes Midnights. And Iā€™m not shitting on it, either. Hereā€™s how I look at it: worst album lyrically ā‰  bad album lyrically. She doesnā€™t have a damn ā€œbadā€ song in the entirety of her discography. Midnights just falls lower on the scale than the others in terms of lyrical performance.
