Anything from my top 9 would have been a nice winner. Yey my #5 won lmao! I remember you saying "I'm not expecting anything from my top 5 to win" and I was about to say "I don't know about that..." but I didn't, I wanted it to be a surprise!

I'm still disappointed, people don't appreciate Dear John enough. But this is a very good winner and it definitely deserves the title!

Aside from Innocent, I'm happy with how the rankdown went
So many magical songs on the album Enchanted & Back To December especially Sparks Fly, Ours, Story Of Us, Innocent, Last Kiss, and more Sparks Fly is personally tied as my favorite album alongside Red from T Swift

Thanks everyone for participating and making this rankdown so much fun! I will be back with the Red rankdown really soon (I'm hosting a Brad Paisley one too right now if anyone is interested in country music) so see you all then!

IIRC this is the first time I've been top 5 closeness in anything Does this mean I have better Taylor Swift taste than some actual-- --"Swifties"

It's called pettiness! How the tables have turned, you defending a TS song and here I am dragging it lmao It's being human. Others would have censored it by replacing it with friendlier language. It's the point where the veil is truly off and the actual intention of the song is revealed (and it builds to that part through the bridge, rather than just throwing it out after the second chorus), that's why I think it's one of her best accomplishments. It follows a path that most wouldn't in songwriting due to self-censorship. Yeah it's petty, but people are petty. Why hide it? Do you think it's a coincidence that This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things has the same "talking to Kanye like he's a child" and churchy choir singing as Innocent? I wonder how Kanye felt about that when Taylor was known mainly as a 19-20 year old dorky girl with songs about princes and princesses (Love Story) and school girl crushes (You Belong With Me). A beautiful song with a beautiful message but also condescending af... I wouldn't be surprised if it was intentional, I'd be pretty fed up with him if I was her too, with his constant cycle of apologizing and then taking it back preventing her from burying that dumb stunt in the past. I think Dear John is more savage than Mean too. Starts out with some very poetic verses that kind of sound woe is me but you gradually realize she's more interesting in painting him as a complete asshole that looking for sympathy. Around the first half it's more like "how did I take so long to realize how much of an asshole you were" but gradually starts dropping hints that it's more like "You don't even realize how much of a pathetic loser you are and how you're the one always ruining your relationships, well fuck you, you can go live the rest of your life in your sad empty town, I'm out of here". Oh and also you should've known I would write this song for you.

Enchanted is overrated, but its still a good song so I'm fine with it winning. I just don't get why everyone loves it so much... Anyway, let's keep this "album track winning Taylor album RDs" thing up for the Red album plz because I'll be pissed if anything other than "All Too Well" wins I probably won't rank "All Too Well" #1 but my top 3, maybe even top 4 will be album tracks.

@walker9 1. If "Enchanted" wins, will it be the first album track to win an album rankdown? 2. Do you hate it? I can't speak for any of the pop or rock album rankdowns, but this has happened twice in country album rankdowns. First was Sara Evans Words album, where "Long Way Down" was an album track winner. But that album didn't have any big "hits" or anything, so it may not be the best example, plus it could still end up being a single since it's a fairly new album. But then it happened again with Martina McBride's Eleven album, where the winner ("Whatcha Gonna Do") managed to win despite the album having a couple fairly sizable hits. Now Taylor's Speak Now is the 3rd country album for this to happen

Enchanted is such a strong song, and a very fitting -and surprising- winner. Back to December is very strong also, but doesn't stand up to some of the better songs on here.
So glad "Sparks Fly" made Top 3 as well. I have always loved that song and it may be my "go-to" Taylor song when I find one at random to play. The second "Drop everything NOW" is electric .

There were a lot of things wrong with these results, but the fact that Pulse actually let a non-single win this time and it was her absolute masterpiece "Enchanted"? Faith in Pulse restored.

This is dead on for me too! I may like "Ours" more but when I need a Taylor fix "Sparks Fly" is almost always my first choice. You even highlighted my favorite part!
Wow I'm the bottom for closeness and it wasn't even close lol Y'all did my list dirty. Thanks for hosting fearlessarrow! :)
