Taylor Swift might just be the defining artist of the 2010s. Which song is the most iconic; the one that people immediately think of when they hear her name? I listed a lot of songs (and could make a case for plenty more), but in my opinion, the unquestioned answer is Love Story

Fans would probably say All Too Well. General Public would say Shake It Off or Blank Space.

Blank Space is the quintessential TS song to me. Both stylistically and lyrically

I don’t know if she has just one, but if I had to go with anything at this point I’d probably choose “All Too Well” or “Blank Space”

I honestly believe she doesn't have one. "Love Story" and "Shake It Off" are probably the closest she has, but I really feel like her discography is filled with too many equally iconic songs that one doesn't actually stand out among the others.
That will likely change as the years progress, though.

She's such an A+ lister that she doesn't exactly have one.
I voted for Blank Space, because it's what I'd consider the epitome of her songwriting and 1989-onwards sound. I also think YBWM is the signature song of younger, country era Taylor.
It's interesting to see so many people vote for Love Story, since I respectfully disagree with that. I feel like YBWM has overshadowed it as Fearless' most iconic song. I only ever remember it as 'Taylor's Romeo and Juliet song.'

It was Shake If Off. Prior to 2014, Taylor Swift was already a star in the music industry. However, Shake It Off took her stardom to a whole new level.

Taylor has many hits but I would say Shake It Off is Taylor's biggest song by far and is still remembered most by the GP.All Too Well would belong to us Swifties as the most remembered.
So I would say this- GP-Shake It Off Us Taylor Swift fans-All Too Well

While I love "Love Story," I do think "You Belong With Me" ultimately became the more well-known song. Plus, Taylor has had so many big hits since "Love Story" that I'd have a hard time associating her as the "Love Story" singer. I voted "Shake It Off."

For older millennials, mainstream and country audiences it's definitely Love Story - which is why I voted for it. For younger millennials, it's maybe Shake It Off, but it seems like it hasn't aged as well as Love Story for the masses probably because she's had so many hits over the years and LS was her first BIG one.

I'd like to think it's Blank Space, but yeah it's probably Shake It Off. Which is upsetting, because I hate it.

Shake it off
Imo YBWM is second and definitely above Love Story

Outside the US I can't imagine it being anything other than I knew You Were Trouble or Shake It Off.

I would say “Shake It Off” is signature Taylor, in the most polarizing way. The general public would name it first because it’s her most in your face song and typecasts her exactly how the media/public pinned her. And she’s very tongue in cheek about it so that makes it work even more.

"Shake It Off" seems like her most signature song to me, though I think you could definitely make an argument for "Love Story."
