I don't remember that much how I ranked all this because admittedly I don't listen to most of them as much as her actual album songs. I'm in love with Only The Young (started liking it this pandemic), Ronan and I Heart ? though, so for sure I ranked them all high.

Tbh, you would have a lot of trouble finding a more fitting song title for that song than "Breathless"

Macavity was always going to be last, but it honestly wasn't that bad.
Breathless was too weak for me. There was plenty of good country here, Breathless wasn't one of them

I thought the video I looked up sounded like a live recording... I was like, there's no WAY a studio recording should turn out this badly, even for early Taylor

"American Girl" was very enjoyable! Certainly not a necessary cover, but I was impressed nonetheless! The beat and tempo are infectious, as well as all the electric guitar work.

She's done a more recent cover of American Girl too.

Boo! I've always loved "Half of My Heart" but knew it wouldn't do that well here. I felt a bit selfish for putting this in my top 5 for this rankdown, though, because Taylor's part really isn't all that prevalent.

I've always loved "Half of My Heart" too, it's among one of my favorite John Mayer songs (not that I have a ton of songs I enjoy from him but...). I was a bit torn on including it in here since Taylor's usually not credited but I've seen her credited in places so I decided to include it here. Sad that it didn't do better :(

I'll continue tomorrow with #15-#11! Also kudos to those of you who guessed "American Girl" would be the cover that will do better, "Breathless" and "American Girl" might've gone out back to back, but there was a pretty big gap between the two songs in terms of points.

Yeah, she's about as noticeable on the song as on Best Days of Your Life... I did think about including "Best Days of Your Life" here too but I've never seen that song credited as "Kellie Pickler feat. Taylor Swift" which is the only reason I left it off. I'm curious how it would've done had it been included in this though - I imagine it would've done pretty well.

The American Girl cover was cool enough. Half Of My Heart was pretty dull, Mayer has never been an artist I enjoy lol

13. Taylor's lucky number! Someone will definitely not be lucky as they are going to lose their #1, the very first one of the rankdown. I knew yall'd do it dirty... 😭😭😭

Those of you who guessed "I Heart ?" will finish higher of the two songs from her Beautiful Eyes EP, you're correct! I've always preferred the title track though; I think it's a pretty cute song.

I knew yall'd do it dirty... 😭😭😭 You didn't have to worry because... my conlodences to neverduplicated. Also, I forgot to mention this had the 3rd highest SD of the rankdown! And just like that we knock out the Cats soundtrack songs before touching any other soundtrack songs, yes even "Sweeter Than Fiction" which finished last in the original Taylor Swift singles rankdown. #13: "Beautiful Ghosts" Points: 196 (2 points above "I Heart ?", 13 points below #12) Average Rank: 11.833 Standard Deviation: 5.346 (3rd highest) From: Cats
