Taylor Swift Singles Rankdown 2.0 (Postponed)

[fearlessarrow]

Welcome to the updated Taylor Swift Singles Rankdown! 

It's about to be a cruel summer having to rank Taylor Swift's singles... (ironically "Cruel Summer" is not in the list)

Back in 2016, chicken077 hosted Pulse's very first Taylor Swift singles rankdown in the early days of rankdowns with "Blank Space" being crowned the winner. Rankdowns have since then taken off in a big way and there are more posters that have been participating in them - since then we have gone through every single one of her studio albums (Taylor Swift through reputation hosted by yours truly then Lover by Devil Marlena Nylund ). That combined with reputation and Lover now being included in her discography, it's time for us to rank Taylor Swift's singles all over again - I know some of you have been waiting for this! The list is 58 songs long and are inclusive of her features and a good bit of her soundtrack appearances. This time around I have invited another Taylor Swift fan on Pulse, born to co-host with me (he did the graphics here in this post!), so please give him a warm welcome! Without further ado, here is the song list and all the information you'll need to participate!

Directions:

1. For those of you who are new to/unfamiliar with rankdowns, just rank the songs in your list from your favorite (1) to least favorite (58) and send the list to both fearlessarrow and born - we will take it from there. We will tag you in every reveal, so all you have to do is enjoy the reveals and if you would like commenting in thread as you follow along!

2. Feel free to rank either version of "Long Live" (solo or the Paula Fernandes version - the solo version is included in the Spotify playlist just because the duet version is not available on Spotify here)

3. Feel free to rank whichever one you prefer between the solo or the Kendrick Lamar remix for "Bad Blood".

4. Feel free to rank either the single version or album version of "ME!" - the only difference between the two is the "Hey kids, spelling in fun!" part but I know people have opinions on which one they like more.

5. The due date is Sunday, September 20th so you have about 2 months to send a list! We'd most likely be open to extensions, but as hosts we would appreciate it if you could try to submit by the original deadline! But we totally understand if the due date comes closer and you might not be able to get your list in on time, which is what extensions are for!
6. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out! You don't have to be tagged in order to send a list - the more the merrier!

fearlessarrow Why is "Cruel Summer" not in the list

Edit: Wait, did it end up not actually being released as a single??!!? I thought it was announced as the next one!

[Deleted]

Yea sure, worst closeness 100 percent here I come.

Homegirl trolled us again by putting it on Cool New Music on All Access (which is usually a good indication that the song will be a single and that an adds date will be coming) but not doing anything else... she did the same thing with "I Did Something Bad" from reputation too

[CF15]

I guess I'm in!

And I stay bitter forever about it. Girl should've sent that out first; it could've been an amazing transition MV between the reputation and Lover eras. Alas, the Cruel Summer is cruel because it's not the song of the summer. </3

Said all that to say that you know I'm in on this.

I missed the first one so I'm down. #Justice4ReputationSinglesBesidesDelicate

[fearlessarrow]

I just compiled the original singles rankdown results and the album rankdown series results in the second post for those of you who are curious how songs did in each rankdown - The bolded songs in the album rankdowns table are songs that are included in this rankdown so you can easily compare how songs perform in this rankdown relative to the album rankdowns when the reveals happen!

"Christmas Tree Farm" is the only song in this rankdown that we haven't ranked in any of the Taylor Swift rankdowns before - this holiday season coming to you is a mini Taylor Swift holiday rankdown with 7 songs ("Christmas Tree Farm" and 6 songs from The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection) where we will get to rank it outside of the singles rankdown!

[sapphire]

I'm so excited to do this!

[Deleted]

I’ll definitely try to do this!

Also, when were Getaway Car and New Years Day singles?

“New Year’s Day” was sent to country radio (it peaked in the 40s if I remember correctly) and “Getaway Car” was sent to radio in Australia and New Zealand.

"New Years Day" was technically sent to Country radio, even though it didn't do anything.

[bboat11]

Well then!

So why aren't they here to make it a nice even 60?! All Access CNM Singles matter!
