Controversial, so outspoken I've been told I'm not lady like
But I'm a lady like Woah, I could bring you to your knees and Get you kicked out the Garden of Eden Untamable, unframeable, Mona Lisa, oh Kiss you like a whiskey fire Turn around, leave your heart in a riot Lipstick in a cigarette pack on the dash I'm a lady like that.6.

In rankdowns, Carly Pearce has proven herself to be one of those women that are normally a lock for the victory every time a song of hers is added to the list. However, she was up against two other women just like that: Taylor Swift, who has finished in the Top 3 of every New Country Releases rankdown she has appeared in thus far, and Miranda Lambert, who not only is a constant juggernaut with country rankdowns, but won my 2020 year-end. With their selections putting up such strong fights, Carly just couldn't hang on to the victory, but she still managed to make it to the Top 5!
So whose team are you on? Are you #TeamMirLam or #TeamTaylor?!!?

I know that you like me And it's kinda frightening Standing here waiting, waiting And I became hypnotized by freckles and bright eyes Tongue tied But now, you're so far away and I'm down Feeling like a face in the crowd I'm reaching for you, terrified
'Cause you could be the one that I love I could be the one that you dream of A message in a bottle is all I can do Standing here hoping it gets to you You could be the one that I keep And I could be the reason you can't sleep at night A message in a bottle is all I can do Standing here hoping it gets to you.4.

#TeamMirLam
Sorry, "Message in a Bottle" is cute but literally wtf @ it still being in? "All Too Well" is fantastic and I predict it'll win, but "Message" has majorly overstayed.
ETA: Oh good, lmao.

"Message In A Bottle" would've been SO perfect in 2012, especially if it was alongside the likes of Carly Rae Jepsen's "Call Me Maybe," which kinda has a similar theme. Or, it could've definitely been added later on to 1989. Can't believe this woman kept this in the vault for damn near a decade.

Ooh gonna feel this in the morning Ooh 'cause I'm going hard tonight
So bartender, take my keys What do you want from me Baby I'm drunk and I don't wanna go home I'm not staying in to fight I'm staying out all night Baby I'm drunk and I don't wanna go home We don't got to wait until the weekend There's always time for jumping off the deep end So don't you wait up tonight Don't worry I'll be fine

"Drunk" is a song that made lots of history, both on my chart and the real ones!!! In the summer of 2021, right before my chart folded and was discontinued, the song shattered the record for longest stay at #1 by spending seven consecutive weeks in the penthouse. Later on, just a few weeks ago, it hit the top of the Billboard Country Airplay chart, becoming the first female duet to do so in nearly 30 years. The previous song to do this had been Reba McEntire & Linda Davis' "Does He Love You" in 1993.

Should I give up sunsets For marigold mornings? Should I look for rainbows Or wait for the rain? Is happiness on the highway Or is it parked in the driveway? Should I lean on you, babe Or should you lean on me?
Am I looking for comfort? Am I looking for an escape? Am I looking for you? Am I looking the other way?
I'm a wild child and a homing pigeon Caravan and an empty kitchen Bare feet on the tile with my head up in the clouds One heart going both directions One love and a couple of questions Am I settling up Or settling down?1.

And I was never good at telling jokes, but the punch line goes "I'll get older, but your lovers stay my age" From when your Brooklyn broke my skin and bones I'm a soldier who's returning half her weight And did the twin flame bruise paint you blue? Just between us, did the love affair maim you, too? 'Cause in this city's barren cold I still remember the first fall of snow And how it glistened as it fell I remember it all too well.2.

Well, there you have it! In the fight between Taylor Swift and Miranda Lambert, Miranda won out in what is perhaps a controversial ending!!! Despite having NO first-place rankings, that's where "Settling Down" ends up, finishing ahead of the 10 minute version of Taylor's "All Too Well," which had THREE #1 rankings, by just FIVE POINTS.
Anything to say about Taylor's pen has been said already, and she proves it in spades in the lyrics we get to hear for the first time since the song's release nearly ten years ago. Just brilliant, and Jack Antonoff, as always, makes exceptional production choices, turning it into even more of the masterpiece it already was. I definitely would NOT have been upset at all to see this song win, but Miranda winning my year-end rankdown two years in a row is also pretty awesome to see, and it's an incredible feat.
I'm so sorry that this took an ungodly amount of time to reveal in full; and I thank y'all for following along and waiting so patiently for the final result!

Omg YASSSSSSSSSSS!
I thought it was a foregone conclusion that Taylor would win but I am SO beyond thrilled at this upset. "Settling Down" slays. Miranda Lambert slays.
ATW is great, but it's a bit overrated, lol.

As for my thoughts on the top 5... "Settling Down" is fine, but I do not have as much love for it as everyone else does. I always find Miranda's output to be either incredible or incredibly overrated, with almost zero in-between. That being said, it has grown on me a little the last few months, now that I've been listening to it more for rankdowns! Still, with or without me, obvious winner was obvious! Regarding "All Too Well", the regular version would have ended up winning this thing if it had been in, because I would have ranked it top 5 unlike my #19 rank of the 10-minute version! As was mentioned after the reveal, the songwriting here is just so amazing! But let's be real....the 10-minute version is a novelty that only exists to make the die-hard fans happy... #isaidwhatisaid! In terms of overall listenability, the regular version is SO much more streamlined and listenable. So yes, the additional lyrics have some real fiery zingers and I love them! But I don't really have any regrets about only putting this version at #19, lol. "Drunk (And I Don't Wanna Go Home)"!!! Now THIS is a Miranda song that I immediately LOVED upon first listen!!! I kinda figured it would finish at #3 like it did in the official year-end rd, due to SD and ATW both existing here, but it is an absolute jam that I would have loved to see pull off an upset! "Message in a Bottle" is such a nice surprise in the top 4!!! Out of all the new bonus tracks to Red, this one immediately jumped out at me, and I haven't been able to get it out of my head for months! This is the biggest surprise of the top 5, and I am here for it! "What He Didn't Do" is iconic because of the way the lyrics completely subvert all expectations, tearing the ex apart by NOT airing his sordid actions to the world A worthy top 5 finisher! Glad it beat "Next Girl"

I was like how in the world I ranked All Too Well so low, and realized that it was the 10min version. If it was the shorter one, it would've been in my top 15 at least!
Great winner, and pretty much happy with the most songs that made it to the last reveal day. I think What He Didn't Do should grow on me more as it is the single now, but when I made the list, Liability was my absolute fav, so WHDD didn't really go higher in my list.
Thanks for hosting!!
