Ranking 'The Tortured Poets Department' on First Listen

I obviously have not had enough space and time to be able to form opinions with much depth behind them upon first listen, so will not be discussing my ranking today but purely documenting it! Interesting to see how this may evolve in time- what songs will always remain to be favourites and what songs will grow on me! One thing about Taylor Swift songs is there's always a moment to be had with them, even if that comes ten years after release!!! 


16. The Alchemy

15. Guilty As Sin

14. Fresh Out The Slammer

13. loml

12. Fortnight

11. But Daddy I Love Him

10. The Tortured Poets Department

9. I Can Fix Him (no really I can)

8. Clara Bow

7. Florida!!!

6. Down Bad 

5. The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived

4. My Boy Only Breaks His Favourite Toys

3. I Can Do It With A Broken Heart

2. So Long, London

1. Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me



The Bolter, The Black Dog, The Albatross and The Manuscript are not present in this as turns out they are part of the surprise anthology album, which I was so surprised by all note taking went out of the window! I will say The Black Dog is an instant favourite. The following three I'd presently rank nearer the bottom with The Manuscript being best, then The Bolter and lastly The Albatross.

Hope you're enjoying the sacred act of absorbing a new Taylor Swift album (or two!)
