While I do love exile more, august is quite an outstanding track as well so it’s a well-deserved win!
This was a fun rankdown! :)

Her #16 really won the rankdown And it's gonna be my #16 when it wins again. Genuinely don't get the love for "august." Unpopular as hell of an opinion, but sorry not sorry, that's mine. Again, I don't apologize for it

Again, I don't apologize for it OMG this is word for word what raylatch98 says every time he intentionally prevents Sara Evans from winning rankdowns by ranking her like 70 positions lower than everybody else

Barely missing out on the crown is the only collaboration of the album, "exile" which features Bon Iver. It was #1 for the second half of the submission process for the most part until the second to final list from Leo ✔ knocked it out of the top spot. Leo ✔

Thank you all for listening to the album/submitting a list/following along! I at least enjoyed hosting and seeing how you all ranked the songs and your reactions to the reveals - come join the 2016 Billboard Year-End Hot 100 Rankdown that I am co-hosting, Kelly Clarkson's Meaning of Life rankdown that born is hosting, or the Carrie Underwood singles rankdown 2.0 and Shania Twain's Come On Over rankdown that taylor is hosting over in the country world to see us as hosts again. Don't leave just yet though, taylor is going to reveal the top 4 of the album covers rankdown in this thread later! A VERY big thank you to our co-hosts born who did the graphics and input all the data and taylor who graciously accepted to host the album covers rankdown! A folklore re-do RD will definitely happen in the future as well as the postponed Taylor Swift singles rankdown 2.0 and Taylor Swift album tracks rankdown (top 5 album tracks from every album rankdown) so keep an eye out for those! Until then!

Would've preferred "Exile" but "August" is good too. Thanks for hosting #TeamTaylor! Loved the graphics, too.

Leaving first in the top half of the covers is the "clandestine meetings" edition. I find all this to be one of the more iconic covers among the eight editions, and it's definitely one of my favorite pictures of Taylor. This one saw a lot of upper support, with a slew of #2 placements, and three correct #4 rankings.

Can I just say that Taylor naming the album covers/editions after lyrics in songs is really cool? I absolutely love that detail.

Taking home the bronze in the covers portion of the rankdown is "running like water." This one sees tim finally rid of his #8, the last such ranking left, while on the opposite end, four people lose their #1s. Sorry to you four! This cover is not terrible, but also not one of my absolute favorites, so it took a middle rank from me. That leaves us with... meet me behind the mall vs. in the treesPlace your bets on the winner!!

Yesss the two best covers! I think "in the trees" deserved its place on the standard edition of the album since that cover is just so good, but "meet me behind the mall" also is of similar quality... wouldn't mind either winning but of course I do have a preference since one is my #1 and the other is my #2 haha

There you have it! In a bit of an ass-whooping, "in the trees" tramples all over "meet me behind the mall" to be crowned the winner of the covers! "meet me behind the mall" saw its fair share of support with its own slew of #1 ranks (and it's quite an iconic photo of Taylor might I add), but the FOURTEEN #1s for "in the trees" (which is THE icon of the eight covers overall and my all-time favorite Taylor Swift album cover) proved to be way too much competition to keep up with. Literally all but one of us wound up putting "in the trees" in our Top 5! Fun fact: many of those who put "meet me behind the mall" at #2 put "in the trees" at #1 and vice versa! Thanks for following along with these cover reveals and PLEASE consider joining in on the Carrie Underwood Rankdown 2.0 that I'm hosting! It's a rankdown of Carrie's 30 consecutive Mediabase Top 10 country singles. I'm currently at 28 lists, and hope to match or surpass the total number of 30 participants that the first Carrie Underwood rankdown saw. The deadline is technically on Wednesday, but if anyone interested needs extra time, I'm more than willing to give it! I hope to see your lists! If anyone's interested, I'm also hosting the Shania Twain Album Series, which is currently ongoing. We're now on her magnum opus album Come On Over, and if you're interested in participating in this one, you have until Monday, October 12 to send me a list! I hope to see a lot of you join in for Come On Over! A thank you to fearlessarrow and born for hosting, and born these graphics tho!!! How do you do all that?!

Would’ve preferred exile to win, but August is also really good. Wonder how it’ll go when we do this rankdown again.
Also, my impact in making them change the graphics and graph ;) (lol sorry bout that) Thanks for hosting born and fearlessarrow

YES August WON
Expected tbh because how can such an amazing song not go #1? It's definitely top five in her discography. So glad it won and I'm overall pleased with the results.
Thank you for hosting Fearless Arrow and Born and Tay!

The first part of this rankdown has come to an end! I would like to thank my co-host fearlessarrow for being nice, invested & patient with me Let's give a round of applause and a big virtual kiss to Taylor because without her there wouldn't be an album full of songs to listen and fall in love with. folklore truly made our summer a bit less cruel and ranking songs is always a good way to bond and get to know our fellow posters better. Thank you to our incredible friend taylor who offered to help us and ended up hosting an odd thematically but still entertaining side rankdown! You're both great to work with! Last but definitely not least, I wanna thank the fans for the last ten years everyone who sent us a list or even left a comment! This was fun! Can't wait to see you all at the next part of this series, this time with an awesome extra track to rank! Also, if you're not completely tired of us, make sure to join our current rankdowns, as feary already suggested: Take care!
