Every song from Taylor Swift’s ‘folklore’, ranked

Little over a month ago, Taylor Swift did the unexpected and dropped her eighth studio album, folklore, with no prior promotion and an announcement only the day before. Since then, it has already become one of the year’s biggest records and is the first album by a female artist to spend its first four weeks at #1 on America’s Billboard Top 200 chart since Adele’s 25 in 2014. The album sees a welcome shift in sound for Swift, with folklore being classified under the alternative music genre and being her first to be labelled as explicit. Here is my ranking of all seventeen songs from best to worst.

17. peace

16. the last great american dynasty

15. betty

14. illicit affairs

13. mirrorball

12. the lakes

11. epiphany

10. august

9. hoax

8. this is me trying

7. seven

6. exile (Feat. Bon Iver)

5. the 1

4. invisible string

3. cardigan

2. mad woman

1. MY TEARS RICOCHET
