The Taylor Swift Tier List
A definitive guide to ranking every Taylor Swift song and album — and building your personal Eras Tour top 10 on Perched.
Start ranking Taylor Swift →Why a tier list beats a plain top 10
Taylor Swift has released hundreds of songs across eleven studio eras. Trying to freeform-rank them from memory is impossible — you forget deep cuts, over-index on singles, and end up with a list that doesn't feel like yours. A tier list fixes that by forcing one small decision at a time.
Perched turns the tier list into a real ranking. You tag songs Love / Like / Meh / Pass album by album, then the head-to-head sorter uses only your Loves to build a definitive personal top 10.
The four-tier system
Love — a forever song. You would put it on any Taylor playlist you ever make.
Like — you enjoy it, but it's not a desert-island pick.
Meh — you skip it about half the time.
Pass — not for you.
Only Loves feed the sorter, so be honest. A Taylor tier list with forty Loves and one Pass produces a mushy top 10; twelve real Loves per era produces a top 10 that actually reflects your taste.
How to rank every Taylor Swift album
Work chronologically — it's the easiest way to keep vault tracks, re-recordings, and deluxe editions straight:
- Taylor Swift (Debut, 2006)
- Fearless (Taylor's Version)
- Speak Now (Taylor's Version)
- Red (Taylor's Version) — including All Too Well (10 Minute Version)
- 1989 (Taylor's Version)
- Reputation
- Lover
- folklore
- evermore
- Midnights (3am Edition + The Til Dawn Edition)
- The Tortured Poets Department (The Anthology)
Tag one album per sitting. Perched saves your progress in your browser, so you can walk away mid-Reputation and pick it up later.
The head-to-head sorter, explained
Once every album is finalized, hit Generate Top 10. Perched pulls the top five Love-tier tracks from each finalized album into a merge pool, then runs a series of two-song head-to-heads. You pick which of two songs you'd keep. The sorter uses the minimum number of comparisons to produce a fully ordered top 10 — usually 20 to 40 taps for a full Taylor discography.
Building your Eras Tour tier list
If you're going to (or replaying) the Eras Tour, use your top 10 as the surprise-song wishlist. Most Swifties end up with a list that spans at least six eras — a good signal your tier list is honest and not just recency-biased toward TTPD or Midnights.
Regenerating is free. Every time a new album drops or you change how you feel about Lover, just re-tag that shelf and hit Regenerate — your top 10 updates without wiping your history.
