A quick list of my current Top 5 favourite Taylor Swift songs

I thought I would put up my top 5 TS songs as of Dec 2025 because it will 100% keep changing. 1. All too Well - Like she mentioned on Stephen Colbert Show, yup , the 10-minute version is best to let out an emotional cry. I may not have a broken heart now, but I can imagine her hurt and I feel that hurt and I can listen to the song and feel the emotions and sometimes even cry thinking about heartbreak that is not there in reality, but an imaginary heartbreak just to let out a good cry. I dont know if you can understand that, but I would highly recommend being angry and sad at someone through this song. 2. Love Story - I think this was the first song I heard of Taylor and loved it and still do! This is the most romantic song as a young adult and makes you dream of all the sweetness in the world, waiting for someone to sweep you off your feet and be together happily ever after. She sold that dream and that fantasy. I still love the song for the time it takes me back to. 3. Anti-Hero - I resonate most with this because in some ways, with my family and teams , I am the anti-hero, I am the problem they say. WHen I was younger, I always wanted to be liked and loved and be the good girl in the family. As I grew, I started becoming more indifferent towards rude and disrespectful behaviour. I am a nice person. I have my tolerance limit. I respect my boundaries. If that makes me the anti-hero, so be it! Happily accept any titles. 4. The Man - Just my motivational song. Bringing out my energy to make it irrelevant that there is a man to compete with. I do feel I need to try 10000 times harder to prove my intentions and my ability. I doubt myself while someone who may not be as competent feels more deserving of the growth opportunities that I got. I don't compete or compare anymore. I do not justify myself either. I am so much more self-aware now than I was when I was 21 and crying in bathrooms when people commented about my opportunities coming my way ONLY because I was nice to the Manager. 5. I can do it with a broken heart - THere have been so many days that I have cried while I have been working. I would literally be sobbing and when the teams/zoom chimes, I would immediately wipe off my tears and bring my "Hieeeeee" to the call. Whether it is broken heart, loss of a loved one, pain or just a bad day, I can do it with a broken heart too. I am so productive, it's an art. I must be good at what I do ! I thought this could be a fun little post for today and I thoroughly enjoyed typing this up. As I wrote, I also realized that my blog does not have any spell checks or grammar checks. It is as raw as it can be and I am intentionally keeping it real and straight from the heart content. Over-edited content happens in work emails now, not on my blog page anymore. This is who I am and this is what I love doing. Ironically, I do have to thank AI for it ! Until next time, happy reading!
