Interested to hear your thoughts on folklore, it was the album that reinvigorated my fandom because Lover and then of course the pandemic dimmed my enthusiasm. I mean, Lover wasn't bad, at all, and has a handful of bangers, but it just didn't gel.

And then folklore was released at the height of lockdowns without any fanfare or notice and won a buttload of awards and drew a whole new legion of fans. It was the 'dullest' part of the Eras tour (if there is such a thing) but the performances during that era was a highlight too.

Folklore is what started me off into Swiftiedom.
 
I hate to admit it but I was quite dismissive of the earlier albums. I didn’t listen to a lot of pop music and I was honestly missing out.

I started to take an interest in Taylor as a business woman when she began to re-record her masters. Then I met one of my now best friends (the one who took me to the concert) and she loved Taylor so much I had to go back and do a deep dive for her. I realised what a talented songwriter she is and became hooked.

Folklore and Midnights are the two albums I relate to the most, and the two I listen to the most.

I think Red hooked me and 1989 locked me. I absolutely listened to the earlier albums prior to that and enjoyed them but didn’t get into fandom. After 89 locked me in I re listened and have been completely into everything ever since.
 
Well since there are not many going to the Sydney shows I presume (AFL board and all) and we're now waiting for Disney+ and TTPD in March and April respectively...let's do another album ranking?

1. folklore
2. 1989
3. Fearless
4. Red
5. Speak Now
6. Midnights
7. evermore
8. Reputation
9. Taylor Swift

Honestly thought the gap between 1 and 8 isn't that big. Just never got that much into the first album, though.

I’m really looking forward to everything from Red onwards truthfully, she‘s had some cracking singles since then.

Yes, we have talked about Lover before.

Thematically not much there, but I think almost every track is at least an 8/10. I enjoy this album a lot.

If you don't like Cruel Summer you don't like pop music imo.

Speak Now a notch below, though? I rate it very favourably although I guess nostalgia may be a factor here.

Now this is controversial. Appreciate the list, though, I get why folk/more might not be a vibe for many fans.

Wow everyone rates Midnights a lot lower than I do !

The gap between Midnights (at 7 for my own list) and folklore (at 1) is small. I feel that the second half of Midnights (Question, Sweet Nothings, Labyrinth) drag it down. The first six is perfect, though.

Sort of related to the 'E' thing mentioned by revo, hearing nearly 100k people shouting 'would you have me, would you want me, would you tell me to go f*** myself' may never be topped.
