1. Which song will win this rankdown? Going to go with "Shake It Off" or "Blank Space" 2. Which song will finish last? Hopefully both versions of "Bad Blood" 3. What songs will have high SDs (most polarizing)? Maybe "Bad Blood" and "Welcome To New York" 4. What songs will have low SDs (least polarizing)? "Blank Space" and "Style" 5. Which album track will finish the highest? Hoping to see "I Wish You Would" make it the highest 6. Which version of "Bad Blood" will perform better? No idea since I can't stand either version 7. Any other random comments/thoughts etc. if you have any? Hope to see "This Love" do well Bonus Question: Are we actually good at the end of the chrous for "Out of the Woods"?

As a Taylor stan, you have absolutely no right to say I have bad taste because I kinda tanked some of your favorites. You're gonna accept my top half ranking for "Bad Blood" and say 'thank you'.

Bad Blood isn't bad on it's own merit, but when you place it against the rest of the album It sucks
The original version probably will be the last place

It's definitely way overhated, yeah. But I also agree that it doesn't hold up well against the other great songs on this album.

First of all, some stats about #17:
#1 ranks: 0 Top 3 ranks: 1 Top 5 ranks: 4 Bottom 5 ranks: 40 Bottom 3 ranks: 24 Last place ranks: 11
How many people have #1 and #17 left? #1: 66/66 #17: 66/66

#17: "You Are In Love"
Points: 351 (34 points behind #16) Average: 12.682 Standard Deviation: 3.709 (3rd lowest SD) Hidden Message: N/A
We are kicking off the reveals with one of the bonus tracks! With only 3 top 5 ranks, it lacked high ranks in general, and 9 last place ranks helped tank it as well, although "You Are In Love" isn't the song with the most last place ranks. It never really was able to take off, but once @walker9 pushed it down to last place, it could never recover. I just find this song a bit dull, and being "a bit dull" in this album was enough for me to send it straight to the bottom, that's how good this album is for me at least.

She subbed this one out for YBWM when I saw her on the tour and I didn't complain.

A good last place, You Are in Love is super forgettable between the other two amazing bonus tracks

Okay so I was holding off on saying this is Bad Blood, because I'm sure both of them will have at least one #1. Anyway I do like this song but I agree that it's rather forgettable on a album with a lot of strong, standout tracks. Not surprised at this doing so poorly.

And yeah this is probably Wonderland. Again I think both Bad Blood's at least have a single #1 each, so I can't see this being either one, based on the stats.

#16: "Bad Blood"
Points: 385 (16 points behind #15, 34 points ahead of "You Are In Love") Average: 12.167 Standard Deviation: 4.426 Hidden Message: She made friends and enemies
Next up is what a lot of people have been pegging as the last place candidate, the album version of "Bad Blood". This track was highly publicized as it drew speculation that this song was about Katy Perry and their feud about Katy allegedly 'stealing' dancers away from Taylor in the middle of her Red Tour. There were definitely fans of the song, but there were too many haters to combat and it sunk to #16. Personally I didn't find the song bad at all when it first came out (I didn't want it as a single though, lol), but now this version pales in comparison with the single version which has yet to appear, which means the majority agrees with me that the remix is the better version of the song!

I do prefer the original over the remix, but even then like I said before the RD began, the song (remix or not) just pales in comparison to the other tracks on this album. No surprises yet.

I had never listened to a majority of this album prior to this so most songs were new to me. I had never really given "Bad Blood" much of a shot but I enjoyed this version well enough but HATED the single version. Not sure why, I definitely overranked this one but I think I did more so to have both versions complete opposites of one another lol. Eh not sad to see it gone

I don't dislike "Bad Blood" as much as many people seem to. It's discordant and moody, but it works for me. Still, on an album as strong as 1989, it doesn't take much to end up at the bottom... Glad this is leaving now.

I was about to complain about how “Bad Blood” wasn’t dead last, but glad it quickly followed suit. Bye trash!

I forgot to include some people in the tags (the ranks) so let me go fix that quickly! Sorry for the confusion, and the #15 song should be up pretty soon.

Both versions of "Bad Blood" are atrocious. I'm being harsh but it's one of the few Taylor Swift songs that I actually really dislike. Hopefully the remix version is next to go!

#15: "Welcome To New York"
Points: 401 (58 points behind #14, 16 points ahead of "Bad Blood") Average: 11.924 Standard Deviation: 4.193 Hidden Message: We begin our story in New York
Rounding out our bottom 3 is the opener for the album, "Welcome to New York". I actually ended up ranking this higher than I thought I would, but the song didn't fare very well in general here. This was released as the second promotional single from the album and peaked at #48 on the Billboard Hot 100. I think this song sets the tone for the album really well regardless of how good or bad the song is (The geographical focus on NYC alone already signals the departure from country music in a way).
