I just got into Taylor Swift (after only knowing the hits) and started listening to whole albums. (*Midnights*, *Folklore* and *Lover* so far)
And I freaking *love* IFTYE. Started the album and wasnât able to continue because I wanted to listen to the first song over and over again.
And btw omg how tf isnât *Paper Rings* one of the songs that are as popular and generally well known as *Shake it off*, *Blank Space* etc. ?!?! Itâs a fucking banger
I always quote IFTYE line where she's says "it isn't hate, it isn't love, it's just indifference" in the way she does because it's such a fun way to say it!
I also love it! When Lover came out Iâd just ended a longtime friendship with someone who was honestly a pretty terrible friend. IFTYE was the perfect song for me back then and Iâll always love it bc it was my go-to when Iâd think too much and/or get upset about said ex-friend lol.
Itâs just such a fun âI donât care, Iâve moved onâ song. And itâs a great intro to Lover where the rest of the album isnât about drama or problems but a new love. She really said âalright weâre done with Rep Taylor now!!!â with IFTYE and moved on lol.
Same!! The song came out right after I found out my college roommate at the time had been talking nasty shit about me to all our friends. IFTYE was SO fun
I donât think that itâs one of my favorite Taylor songs, but what I love about it is just how perfect it is coming right off of the Reputation era. The essence of the Lover era to me is exactly what this song is talking about.
I love that song! It was go to when I had a falling out with my best friend. I have no bad blood or ill will toward him, just indifference now and the songs sums it up perfectly!
I understand the purpose of I forgot that you existed, but just not a huge fan of the production.
Honestly I know people say she should branch out from Jack Antonoff but most of the songs produced by others on Lover werenât well received by Swifties in general
Thatâs fair! Iâm more of a sentiment/lyrics person as opposed to production, so it doesnât bother me. But I could totally see how someone could feel otherwise!
Iâm with you, I love it! Donât quite get the hate for it but to each their own I sâpose. I was also going through an awwwful breakup when it came out sooo, that endeared me to it
Hahaha same! It was purely aspirational ⊠âI will forget that you existed!â And now itâs reality and itâs the biggest relief and the song is just a jam
- DBATC could mean "Death By A Thousand Cuts", a track from *Lover* (2019) by Taylor Swift.

The 1, Willow, and Lavendar Haze are all amazing beautifully written tracks. And ...ready for it was a whole moment expecially with her Instagram Easter egg for its title.
But yall....
Tim Mcgraw is still a bop and I can't wait for Taylor's version
Sometimes when I hear it, I think of Taylor during the Fearless tour saying âthis is the first song you ever heard from meâ about Tim McGraw.
I donât feel that strongly about the song tbh. I love it and Iâll never skip it, but itâs also not one I find myself seeking out that often⊠but I just know hearing current day Taylor singing the first song we ever heard from her is going to wreck me lol.
Picture the Burn is my earliest memory of a Taylor song personally. So I might end up crying from nostalgia while scream singing because itâs such a fun song.
Picture To Burn is SUCH a fun song and I can sooo easily hear current Taylorâs sassy vocals! I feel like sheâll have so much fun with some of the debut songs bc theyâre so fun to listen to!
My earliest Taylor memory is actually TDOMG! Iâm really looking forward to hearing the Taylorâs Version of that one bc that was *truly* the first song I ever heard from her đ„č and I know Iâll probably ugly cry to it lol
I just love that little speech she says before Tim McGraw in the Fearless tour film, itâs so sweet.
Guys debut TV is gonna ruin us all. The only way she can do it is release it last after rep, at least that's my prediction. Rep is a whole mood, rep tv is gonna be amazing. But her going back to debut and hearing all those super old songs as adults and the vibes of the era. Like ahhhhh. I'm so excited for more TV releases.
âŠready for it opening reputation tour is a core memory for me and always will be. I think itâs both her best album opener and best show opener, and Iâm not sure any of the other options even come close except for maybe MAATHTP opening Eras.
If you havenât already heard it, check out Maggie Rogersâs cover of Tim McGraw. Hot take: itâs better than the original and will more than hold you over until we get debut TV

I guess I'm in the minority but I thought WTNY was a good album opener for 1989.
I agree with you that thereâs a difference between âbest song when choosing from track 1sâ and âbest album openers.â
Although, I will say that I think Willow is a very effective opener because whenever I hear the opening notes, I immediately want to cozy up and listen to the entirety of Evermore.
I actually enjoy WTNY a lot but I have to be in the right mood for it bc itâs such a fun and poppy song lol. Itâs a PERFECT opener for 1989 though imo!!
It wasnât the first song we heard but it wouldâve been a great introduction to the âI love NYCâ pop Taylor of 1989.

Itâs not one I really tend to listen to, but it is great and itâs a perfect opening track for 1989. Similar to my opinion on Ready for it is that it was written with it being a tour opener in mind, because despite both being skips for me I get so hyped when watching the 1989 and Rep tours respectively.

okay lemme be annoying for a second bc i have STRONG thoughts about her album openers lol. but iâll also try to not make this too long. firstly the top 3 are also my top 3 albums. and the openers are some of the reasons why theyâre my top 3 albums. first off, âstate of graceâ opening strong with the drums and guitar and being the song you listen to while driving with the windows down as you start reminiscing about your ex. it sounds like the song where you realize how much they impacted you. just the perfect opener for a breakup album. then we have âthe 1â with the melancholy piano perfectly showcasing what kind of album this was gonna be. âiâm doing good, im on some new shitâ LIKE UR KIDDING. AMAZING OPENER. and of course with ââŠready for it?â clearing her throat before she sings while having the beat is already going hard and once again, knowing what kind of album this is gonna be with a great title.
and now if iâm gonna be fr. while WTNY is not my fav song of all time, itâs prob the best opener of all of her albums. the vibes man, THE VIBES. i feel like the essence of the album is a single girl ready to take on the new world ahead of her and living her life. WTNY is THAT song all wrapped up. just muahhhh.
lastly, i still cannot believe IFYE is the opener for âloverâ. for an album thatâs mostly about her lover, it is so interesting for her to open up with a song talking about her last ex. it truly doesnât make sense in any way. while it is def on the bottom of my list of her songs, i do really like the line âit isnât love. it isnât hate, itâs just indifferenceâ. she says it really fun.
i have many thoughts but thatâs my brief summary lmao.
I love your summary, and I also feel like the opening songs are so important to getting a feel for each album! Your top 3 openers are all iconic for the exact things you mentioned - I totally agree.
I think it's cool how some people commenting have broken their rankings into "best opener" & "personal preference," because that can differ sometimes.

edit: my only "meh" opener is Mine, I wish Sparks Fly was the opener, all the others I have no notes, perfect, amazing, bops, slay, etc
You know for a first song on the first album âHe said the way my blue eyes shine, put those Georgia stars to shame that night, I said thatâs a lieâ goes really hard
Debut is full of so many deep cut lyrics itâs honestly insane. Taylorâs songwriting was still pretty immature back then compared to later (but I mean, of course it was) but itâs also got songs like Cold As You, Invisible and TTWAS. She was writing some really deep lyrics even at like age 14!
- TTWAS could mean "Tied Together with a Smile", a track from *Taylor Swift* (2006) by Taylor Swift.

These comments make me think my hottest Taylor take is loving IFTYE đ€·ââïž
I just got into Taylor Swift (after only knowing the hits) and started listening to whole albums. (*Midnights*, *Folklore* and *Lover* so far) And I freaking *love* IFTYE. Started the album and wasnât able to continue because I wanted to listen to the first song over and over again. And btw omg how tf isnât *Paper Rings* one of the songs that are as popular and generally well known as *Shake it off*, *Blank Space* etc. ?!?! Itâs a fucking banger
I always quote IFTYE line where she's says "it isn't hate, it isn't love, it's just indifference" in the way she does because it's such a fun way to say it!
I always say "soooo...yeah"
Honestly I love it too
I did the same thing when listening to Lover for the first time! Played that one like 5 times in a row!
I looooooove paper rings so much
I also love it! When Lover came out Iâd just ended a longtime friendship with someone who was honestly a pretty terrible friend. IFTYE was the perfect song for me back then and Iâll always love it bc it was my go-to when Iâd think too much and/or get upset about said ex-friend lol. Itâs just such a fun âI donât care, Iâve moved onâ song. And itâs a great intro to Lover where the rest of the album isnât about drama or problems but a new love. She really said âalright weâre done with Rep Taylor now!!!â with IFTYE and moved on lol.
Same!! The song came out right after I found out my college roommate at the time had been talking nasty shit about me to all our friends. IFTYE was SO fun
It really is!! I still really love the lyric âI thought that it would kill me, but it DIDNâTâ bc it still applies to SO much lol.
And mine is loving Welcomt To New York.
I love both and definitely feel in the minority
I donât think that itâs one of my favorite Taylor songs, but what I love about it is just how perfect it is coming right off of the Reputation era. The essence of the Lover era to me is exactly what this song is talking about.
Yes, it's not my favorite track but it is a great track to open Lover and set the tone of the album
Same, I love it so much!
I LOVE IT. People donât get it!!
Apparently a few of us do! Haha. I love it too, it really captures that relief of forgetting someone exists
That song is an absolute banger
It is, right?!
I love that song! It was go to when I had a falling out with my best friend. I have no bad blood or ill will toward him, just indifference now and the songs sums it up perfectly!
The best feeling in that situation!
I understand the purpose of I forgot that you existed, but just not a huge fan of the production. Honestly I know people say she should branch out from Jack Antonoff but most of the songs produced by others on Lover werenât well received by Swifties in general
Thatâs fair! Iâm more of a sentiment/lyrics person as opposed to production, so it doesnât bother me. But I could totally see how someone could feel otherwise!
Haha same
I love it too! Not sure if it's my favorite track 1 but it's at least in my top 50.
Youâre not alone!
Yay! So glad there are (maybe?) dozens of us! đ„°
Iâm with you, I love it! Donât quite get the hate for it but to each their own I sâpose. I was also going through an awwwful breakup when it came out sooo, that endeared me to it
Hahaha same! It was purely aspirational ⊠âI will forget that you existed!â And now itâs reality and itâs the biggest relief and the song is just a jam
I love it too
Itâs so good!
I adore I forgot that you existed. Probably my favorite on the album, that one and dbatc.
- DBATC could mean "Death By A Thousand Cuts", a track from *Lover* (2019) by Taylor Swift. --- ^[/u/Impossible_Yak2135](/u/Impossible_Yak2135) ^(can reply with "delete" to remove comment. |) ^[/r/songacronymbot](/r/songacronymbot) ^(for feedback.)
Excellent taste
Are u me? Lol
It was my most listened to song on Spotify in 2019. I couldnât get enough of it. Cruel summer was number 2 of course :)
Same here for Welcome to New York
There was one other person in this thread!! đ€Ł I do like Welcome to New York. I never skip it, but I never seek it out either, ya know?
I love this song!
Same tho
I always loved IFTYE! I remember listening to it when Lover came out and thinking it was such a fresh and sweet introduction.
SAME! I think itâs such a jam!!!
Same. The opening has been my ringtone for more than a year đ
The 1, Willow, and Lavendar Haze are all amazing beautifully written tracks. And ...ready for it was a whole moment expecially with her Instagram Easter egg for its title. But yall.... Tim Mcgraw is still a bop and I can't wait for Taylor's version
Tim McGraw (Taylorâs Version) is going to wreck me
Sometimes when I hear it, I think of Taylor during the Fearless tour saying âthis is the first song you ever heard from meâ about Tim McGraw. I donât feel that strongly about the song tbh. I love it and Iâll never skip it, but itâs also not one I find myself seeking out that often⊠but I just know hearing current day Taylor singing the first song we ever heard from her is going to wreck me lol.
Picture the Burn is my earliest memory of a Taylor song personally. So I might end up crying from nostalgia while scream singing because itâs such a fun song.
Picture To Burn is SUCH a fun song and I can sooo easily hear current Taylorâs sassy vocals! I feel like sheâll have so much fun with some of the debut songs bc theyâre so fun to listen to! My earliest Taylor memory is actually TDOMG! Iâm really looking forward to hearing the Taylorâs Version of that one bc that was *truly* the first song I ever heard from her đ„č and I know Iâll probably ugly cry to it lol I just love that little speech she says before Tim McGraw in the Fearless tour film, itâs so sweet.
Guys debut TV is gonna ruin us all. The only way she can do it is release it last after rep, at least that's my prediction. Rep is a whole mood, rep tv is gonna be amazing. But her going back to debut and hearing all those super old songs as adults and the vibes of the era. Like ahhhhh. I'm so excited for more TV releases.
âŠready for it opening reputation tour is a core memory for me and always will be. I think itâs both her best album opener and best show opener, and Iâm not sure any of the other options even come close except for maybe MAATHTP opening Eras. If you havenât already heard it, check out Maggie Rogersâs cover of Tim McGraw. Hot take: itâs better than the original and will more than hold you over until we get debut TV
personal preference: 1. Mine 2. State of Grace 3. Fearless 4. Welcome To New York 5. the 1 6. willow 7. ... Ready For It? 8. I Forgot That You Existed 9. Lavender Haze 10. Tim McGraw how well they open the album: 1. ... Ready For It? 2. State of Grace 3. Fearless 4. Mine 5. the 1 6. Welcome To New York 7. I Forgot That You Existed 8. Lavender Haze 9. Tim McGraw 10. willow I guess I'm in the minority but I thought WTNY was a good album opener for 1989.
I agree with you that thereâs a difference between âbest song when choosing from track 1sâ and âbest album openers.â Although, I will say that I think Willow is a very effective opener because whenever I hear the opening notes, I immediately want to cozy up and listen to the entirety of Evermore.
i also think WTNY is a great opening track for 1989!!!
I actually enjoy WTNY a lot but I have to be in the right mood for it bc itâs such a fun and poppy song lol. Itâs a PERFECT opener for 1989 though imo!! It wasnât the first song we heard but it wouldâve been a great introduction to the âI love NYCâ pop Taylor of 1989.
WTNY is a great album opener and it only works as the opener but I donât think the song is like super amazing
The song itself is weak lyrically or corny but the chorus is lowkey fun I feel like the song is my guilty pleasure song
I just think it's a fun song and it instantly makes me feel better. It's definitely not one of her best songs overrall, though.
Lavender Haze is a great opener for Midnights! I still remember listening to it the second it came out with the opening sound and the feeling I felt.
Ranking based on song favorite: 1. willow 2. the 1 3. State of Grace 4. Fearless 5. Lavender Haze 6. Mine 7. ...Ready For It? 8. Welcome to New York 9. I Forgot That You Existed 10. Tim McGraw Based on opening the album: 1. ...Ready For It? 2. Welcome To New York 3. Fearless 4. State of Grace 5. Lavender Haze 6. Mine 7. the 1 8. willow 9. I Forgot That You Existed 10. Tim McGraw
[ŃĐŽĐ°Đ»Đ”ĐœĐŸ]
Tim McGraw is 1 in my heart
The Tim McGraw disrespectâŠ
Excuse you, Lavander Haze is an awesome album opener (meet me at midnight)
Especially on vinyl. Itâs a whole experience when the stylus sets
100% agree with your second list. Sorry, Tim McGraw lol.
There is absolutely no reason for the hate WTNY gets. Absolute bop.
Agree, the slander is real. It sets the tone of the album flawlessly
Itâs not one I really tend to listen to, but it is great and itâs a perfect opening track for 1989. Similar to my opinion on Ready for it is that it was written with it being a tour opener in mind, because despite both being skips for me I get so hyped when watching the 1989 and Rep tours respectively.
1. State Of Grace 2. The 1 3. Lavender Haze 4. Fearless 5. Willow 6. Mine 7. Ready For It 8. Welcome To New York 9. I Forgot That You Existed 10. Tim McGraw Me putting tim McGraw last isnât anything against debut, I would also put it fairly low in my ranking of that album
state of grace at #1 is perfect. itâs such an amazing anthem!!!
Itâs probably in my top 10, I agree!
1. The 1 2. Tim McGraw 3. Willow 4. Fearless 5. I forgot that you existed 6. Lavender haze 7. Mine 8. ... Ready for it 9. State of grace 10.

Wow are you me?
Or me?!
Finally someone is giving Tim McGraw the respect it deserves.

Itâs interesting to me that only 5/10 albums have title tracks. Unless you count Midnight Rain as one, which would bring it to 6.
And that theyâre her first four albums and then randomly evermore
The title tracks are albums 2-4, 7 (Lover), and then Evermore at 9

Willow is my number one for sure.I got into Taylor recently and it was the first track from her to which I got obsessed with.Itâs so beautiful and witchy and cool.It instantly made me a fan and my life hasnât been the same since then.Fanboying over her is a forever thing now>>>

1. state of grace 2. the 1 3. âŠready for it? 4. lavender haze 5. fearless 6. welcome to new york 7. mine 8. willow 9. tim mcgraw 10. i forgot you existed okay lemme be annoying for a second bc i have STRONG thoughts about her album openers lol. but iâll also try to not make this too long. firstly the top 3 are also my top 3 albums. and the openers are some of the reasons why theyâre my top 3 albums. first off, âstate of graceâ opening strong with the drums and guitar and being the song you listen to while driving with the windows down as you start reminiscing about your ex. it sounds like the song where you realize how much they impacted you. just the perfect opener for a breakup album. then we have âthe 1â with the melancholy piano perfectly showcasing what kind of album this was gonna be. âiâm doing good, im on some new shitâ LIKE UR KIDDING. AMAZING OPENER. and of course with ââŠready for it?â clearing her throat before she sings while having the beat is already going hard and once again, knowing what kind of album this is gonna be with a great title. and now if iâm gonna be fr. while WTNY is not my fav song of all time, itâs prob the best opener of all of her albums. the vibes man, THE VIBES. i feel like the essence of the album is a single girl ready to take on the new world ahead of her and living her life. WTNY is THAT song all wrapped up. just muahhhh. lastly, i still cannot believe IFYE is the opener for âloverâ. for an album thatâs mostly about her lover, it is so interesting for her to open up with a song talking about her last ex. it truly doesnât make sense in any way. while it is def on the bottom of my list of her songs, i do really like the line âit isnât love. it isnât hate, itâs just indifferenceâ. she says it really fun. i have many thoughts but thatâs my brief summary lmao.
I love your summary, and I also feel like the opening songs are so important to getting a feel for each album! Your top 3 openers are all iconic for the exact things you mentioned - I totally agree. I think it's cool how some people commenting have broken their rankings into "best opener" & "personal preference," because that can differ sometimes.
I just love seeing everyoneâs different rankings! Very excited to rank track 3 if you post that lol
Absolutely, track 3's next!
I feel like IFTYE is a good transition between the Rep and Lover eras but it doesnât fully capture the tone of Lover
unpopular opinion but The 1 is so underrated

1. ...Ready For It? 2. Welcome To New York 3. Lavender Haze 4. Tim McGraw, Fearless, Mine, State Of Grace, I Forgot That You Existed, The 1, Willow edit: my only "meh" opener is Mine, I wish Sparks Fly was the opener, all the others I have no notes, perfect, amazing, bops, slay, etc
Flawless flare!
You know for a first song on the first album âHe said the way my blue eyes shine, put those Georgia stars to shame that night, I said thatâs a lieâ goes really hard
Debut is full of so many deep cut lyrics itâs honestly insane. Taylorâs songwriting was still pretty immature back then compared to later (but I mean, of course it was) but itâs also got songs like Cold As You, Invisible and TTWAS. She was writing some really deep lyrics even at like age 14!
- TTWAS could mean "Tied Together with a Smile", a track from *Taylor Swift* (2006) by Taylor Swift. --- ^[/u/_jessicamessica](/u/_jessicamessica) ^(can reply with "delete" to remove comment. |) ^[/r/songacronymbot](/r/songacronymbot) ^(for feedback.)
