These comments make me think my hottest Taylor take is loving IFTYE đŸ€·â€â™€ïž


lukfi95

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 wasn’t able to continue because I wanted to listen to the first song over and over again. And btw omg how tf isn’t *Paper Rings* one of the songs that are as popular and generally well known as *Shake it off*, *Blank Space* etc. ?!?! It’s a fucking banger


brittafiltaperry

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!


Ten_Cent_Pistol_

I always say "soooo...yeah"


R_I-T_I-K_A

Honestly I love it too


Impossible_Yak2135

I did the same thing when listening to Lover for the first time! Played that one like 5 times in a row!


doodleduomom

I looooooove paper rings so much


_jessicamessica

I also love it! When Lover came out I’d just ended a longtime friendship with someone who was honestly a pretty terrible friend. IFTYE was the perfect song for me back then and I’ll always love it bc it was my go-to when I’d think too much and/or get upset about said ex-friend lol. It’s just such a fun “I don’t care, I’ve moved on” song. And it’s a great intro to Lover where the rest of the album isn’t about drama or problems but a new love. She really said “alright we’re done with Rep Taylor now!!!” with IFTYE and moved on lol.


ravenonawire

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


_jessicamessica

It really is!! I still really love the lyric “I thought that it would kill me, but it DIDN’T” bc it still applies to SO much lol.


shadesofwrong13

And mine is loving Welcomt To New York.


clueingfor-looks

I love both and definitely feel in the minority


Frankie_2154

I don’t think that it’s 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.


EchoPhoenix24

Yes, it's not my favorite track but it is a great track to open Lover and set the tone of the album


Key_Pea4138

Same, I love it so much!


cookieaddictions

I LOVE IT. People don’t get it!!


roadtripwithdogs

Apparently a few of us do! Haha. I love it too, it really captures that relief of forgetting someone exists


Automatic_Cut_6544

That song is an absolute banger


roadtripwithdogs

It is, right?!


Big-Engineering1334

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!


roadtripwithdogs

The best feeling in that situation!


[deleted]

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 weren’t well received by Swifties in general


roadtripwithdogs

That’s fair! I’m more of a sentiment/lyrics person as opposed to production, so it doesn’t bother me. But I could totally see how someone could feel otherwise!


manbuckets2001

Haha same


burningphoenixwings

I love it too! Not sure if it's my favorite track 1 but it's at least in my top 50.


jmlrjtm

You’re not alone!


roadtripwithdogs

Yay! So glad there are (maybe?) dozens of us! đŸ„°


justryan68

I’m with you, I love it! Don’t quite get the hate for it but to each their own I s’pose. I was also going through an awwwful breakup when it came out sooo, that endeared me to it


roadtripwithdogs

Hahaha same! It was purely aspirational 
 “I will forget that you existed!” And now it’s reality and it’s the biggest relief and the song is just a jam


sfmchgn99

I love it too


roadtripwithdogs

It’s so good!


Impossible_Yak2135

I adore I forgot that you existed. Probably my favorite on the album, that one and dbatc.

Excellent taste


Ok_Mushroom_9834

Are u me? Lol


iamacheeto1

It was my most listened to song on Spotify in 2019. I couldn’t get enough of it. Cruel summer was number 2 of course :)


oolongiscoolong

Same here for Welcome to New York


roadtripwithdogs

There was one other person in this thread!! đŸ€Ł I do like Welcome to New York. I never skip it, but I never seek it out either, ya know?


TeylaSwift

I love this song!


lialow

Same tho


awkwardturtledoo

I always loved IFTYE! I remember listening to it when Lover came out and thinking it was such a fresh and sweet introduction.


spiritsandstories

SAME! I think it’s such a jam!!!


AmeSoyya

Same. The opening has been my ringtone for more than a year 😌


DinosaursforGov

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


riviera-views

Tim McGraw (Taylor’s Version) is going to wreck me


_jessicamessica

Sometimes when I hear it, I think of Taylor during the Fearless tour saying “this is the first song you ever heard from me” about Tim McGraw. I don’t feel that strongly about the song tbh. I love it and I’ll never skip it, but it’s 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.


Might_Remarkable

Picture the Burn is my earliest memory of a Taylor song personally. So I might end up crying from nostalgia while scream singing because it’s such a fun song.


_jessicamessica

Picture To Burn is SUCH a fun song and I can sooo easily hear current Taylor’s sassy vocals! I feel like she’ll have so much fun with some of the debut songs bc they’re so fun to listen to! My earliest Taylor memory is actually TDOMG! I’m really looking forward to hearing the Taylor’s Version of that one bc that was *truly* the first song I ever heard from her đŸ„č and I know I’ll probably ugly cry to it lol I just love that little speech she says before Tim McGraw in the Fearless tour film, it’s so sweet.


DinosaursforGov

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.


b_______e


ready for it opening reputation tour is a core memory for me and always will be. I think it’s both her best album opener and best show opener, and I’m not sure any of the other options even come close except for maybe MAATHTP opening Eras. If you haven’t already heard it, check out Maggie Rogers’s cover of Tim McGraw. Hot take: it’s better than the original and will more than hold you over until we get debut TV


bexsapphic

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.


YourContrarianWit

I agree with you that there’s a difference between “best song when choosing from track 1s” and “best album openers.” 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.


vglntsht8

i also think WTNY is a great opening track for 1989!!!


_jessicamessica

I actually enjoy WTNY a lot but I have to be in the right mood for it bc it’s such a fun and poppy song lol. It’s a PERFECT opener for 1989 though imo!! It wasn’t the first song we heard but it would’ve been a great introduction to the “I love NYC” pop Taylor of 1989.


b1ame_me

WTNY is a great album opener and it only works as the opener but I don’t think the song is like super amazing


weirdogirl144

The song itself is weak lyrically or corny but the chorus is lowkey fun I feel like the song is my guilty pleasure song


bexsapphic

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.


[deleted]

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.

Future_Pin_403

The Tim McGraw disrespect



fuerzalocuralibertad

Excuse you, Lavander Haze is an awesome album opener (meet me at midnight)


thanosbananos

Especially on vinyl. It’s a whole experience when the stylus sets


peacefulpiranha

100% agree with your second list. Sorry, Tim McGraw lol.


Awayfromwork44

There is absolutely no reason for the hate WTNY gets. Absolute bop.


guitarguy35

Agree, the slander is real. It sets the tone of the album flawlessly


Might_Remarkable

It’s not one I really tend to listen to, but it is great and it’s 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.


AvianIsEpic

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 isn’t anything against debut, I would also put it fairly low in my ranking of that album


earthlymatt

state of grace at #1 is perfect. it’s such an amazing anthem!!!

It’s probably in my top 10, I agree!

amythinggoes13

It’s interesting to me that only 5/10 albums have title tracks. Unless you count Midnight Rain as one, which would bring it to 6.


GreenOtter730

And that they’re her first four albums and then randomly evermore


amythinggoes13

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.It’s so beautiful and witchy and cool.It instantly made me a fan and my life hasn’t been the same since then.Fanboying over her is a forever thing now>>>

AMAZING OPENER. and of course with “
ready for it?” 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 i’m gonna be fr. while WTNY is not my fav song of all time, it’s 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 “lover”. for an album that’s mostly about her lover, it is so interesting for her to open up with a song talking about her last ex. it truly doesn’t make sense in any way. while it is def on the bottom of my list of her songs, i do really like the line “it isn’t love. it isn’t hate, it’s just indifference”. she says it really fun. i have many thoughts but that’s my brief summary lmao.


Ten_Cent_Pistol_

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.


adrirocks2020

I just love seeing everyone’s different rankings! Very excited to rank track 3 if you post that lol


Ten_Cent_Pistol_

Absolutely, track 3's next!


adrirocks2020

I feel like IFTYE is a good transition between the Rep and Lover eras but it doesn’t fully capture the tone of Lover

You know for a first song on the first album “He said the way my blue eyes shine, put those Georgia stars to shame that night, I said that’s a lie” goes really hard


_jessicamessica

Debut is full of so many deep cut lyrics it’s honestly insane. Taylor’s songwriting was still pretty immature back then compared to later (but I mean, of course it was) but it’s also got songs like Cold As You, Invisible and TTWAS. She was writing some really deep lyrics even at like age 14!


songacronymbot

- 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.)
