Best Songs From Taylor Swift's Red

The Top Ten
1 All Too Well

This is her best song all time. It is... Simply flawless. The lyrics are so well-written and vivid:

We're dancing round the kitchen in the refridgerator light.
Hey you called me up again just to break me like a promise/ So casually cruel in the name of being honest
Maybe we got lost in translation.

You can also really feel Taylor's emotion. A lot of thought went into this song, you can tell it's a deep, very personal part of Taylor. It gave me goosebumps the first time I heard it.

All Too Well is simply perfect for me. Taylor wrote it as what happened rather than what she felt but as I listen to it I can also feel her emotions. Also in the toir her performance of All Too Well is amazing. I can compare it to the songs "You're Not Sorry" and "Back to December. " She is doing her headbangs with the red piano with her IKYWT black outfit. "Like BTD, you can also feel her emotions but not in a sad, crying soft tone, but in a rock, emotional song. VOTE ATW!

Guys, I have a theory. You know in the music video for Out of the Woods and at the end it says: "She lost him but she found herself and somehow that was everything"? Ok, well in the lyrics it says "I'd like to be my old self again, but I'm still trying to find it"! All too well is linked to Out Of The Woods, so maybe she wrote it about the same person!

I feel like this was the most emotionally deep and beautiful out of all of her songs. She poured all the regret and sadness of a lost love into the lyrics. "You call me up again to break me like a promise/so casually cruel in the name of being honest" is the best line she has ever written.

2 I Knew You Were Trouble

I heard this song when my Taylor swift obsession was in full swing when I was 10 or 11 and I remember watching the music video for the first time wondering when the song was actually going to start haha. I’d do anything to go back to the first time listening to all of her songs. The first time is a,ways the best :)

Considering that this is number three on the list of best Taylor Swift songs and "All Too Well" doesn't make up any of the top two spots on the official list, you would think that this would be number one on this list, but that's thetoptens logic for you.

I press the shuffle button I keep pressing until I get to this song I know its very pathetic but its like my absolute favorite song sine I first heard it and I love even more because its about Harry Styles

Awesome song. I saw a different side of Taylor. I love her so much, her songs are amazing. She's one of the reasons why I love music so much!

3 State of Grace

All The songs in red are good, and I specially like All too Well, I almost do and Everything has Changed. But they aren't as good as SOG. All Too Well is quite repetitive, Great though! I Almost do is beautiful, but perhaps not as showy as SOG. Everything has Changed is great, great, great, but I hate to give any credit to any singer but Taylor. Yes. This song shows her marvelous voice, has good meaning, great lyrics, and very good and sophisticated instrumentals.

I really love this song. Its music is different than other songs in Red. Quite unique and different sounds of Taylor. Yes I love it 'cause this is state of grace.

It's Number Two now and I voted it up because I think it deserves the top spot more than All Too Well. It's not my favourite song on this album, though.

It'll never be the same! Vote for State of Grace! Make it number 1! This is the best ever song in Red.

4 Red

This song is so brilliant and beautifully written. The use of colors alone creates a unique and visual interpretation, and the words “Loving, Losing, Missing, Forgetting, Loving, Fighting, Regretting, and Loving” are used in that order and tell an incredible story all you own. This is simply genius in its writing and instrumentation and deserves more recognition.

This song is so underrated! I absolutely love it and the lyrics are just wonderful, so well written. The tune is brilliant. Her second best work on a fabulous album, after 'I Knew You Were Trouble', 'Red' is a fantastic, near perfect song.

"Losing him was blue like I'd never known

Missing him was dark grey all alone

Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met

But loving him was red" love this song-ssb

I dictated this the first time I heard this. I'm not boosting about how good my memory is (it's not) but about the song: how good is it? Excellent! Deserves the first!

I liked the vocals more in other tracks, but it's incredibly so well written (as always <3) and I was kind of blown away at how empathetic and imaginative it was. Taylor is actually such an intelligent person, more than anyone else understands or she gets credit for.

This is a brilliant song! It not only gives you an insight into the lives most people in the spotlight live but also can be related to feeling lonely or uncertain

I got addicted to this song the first time I heard it. It is flawless with great clever lyrics love so much

One of Taylor swifts slower songs, and that's the king I like. This is a beautiful song with a great melody and amazinng lyrics, definitely deserves at least top three

I LOVE THIS SONG IT SENDS SUCH A STRONG MEENING IF YOU HAVE NOT HEARED IT GO TO LISTEN TO SAMPLE OR YOU TUBE IT IS WONDERFUL JOY AND HAPPYNESS TO YOUR EARS

Listening to this song is like taking a deep breath of fresh air. It's really soothing and relaxing and fills you with hope. Love it!

7 The Last Time

This song sums up Taylor's others. It's enchanting, haunting, it changes everything, and is every color (including red! ). (I hope y'all get that! ) Gary Lightbody is an experienced and beautiful artist, simply enhancing Taylor's mystifying vocals in this piece. With a chorus you can't get tired of, lyrics from the most complex of hearts, two excellent vocalists seemingly shedding skin as they sing, and a wonderfully moving melody, this song fits the bill as simple perfection.

Powerful song. Most other songs on the album are good but really this is the one with the most raw power.

It reminds me of Say Something but I prefer this song much better.

I barfed when I heard this terrible fake version of say something!

8 Treacherous

The idea of this one is really unique, it's not a song where she regrets a former relationship or something like that. I also like the instrumental pick.

Incredibly beautiful. Should be number 1. WANEGBT is too poppy for Taylor, this is a perfect mix of her old and new style of music.

My favourite Taylor Swift song ever
My favourite part is: “two headlights shine through the sleepless night and I will, get you, get you alone, your name has echoed through my mind and I just think you, think you should know” so beautiful

A subject Taylor has never sung about before but she does it effortlessly.

9 The Moment I Knew

This is the most inspirational and beautiful song. Not many people know it, which is sad

Among of ALL THE RED SINGLES, I LOVE THIS MOST... BECAUSE IT RELATES TO A PERSON THAT THE ONE THAT HE LOVES DIDN'T MAKE IT TO HIS BIRTHDAY...

"THAT WAS THE MOMENT I KNEW"

The best song on the album why number 13 should be at the top ten at least

There was one thing missing and that was the moment I knew

10 Holy Ground

Really number 8! This song has to be at least in the top 5. Every time I'm in the car this song is playing... My dad always says how he gets annoyed listening to the same song over and over again but I love and I always will.

It's so beautiful. It's probably my favourite song on the whole album joint with Stay Stay Stay

One of my favorite songs from Red! Catchy and fun to dance to!

It is a great song, It's also one of Taylor's favorite's!

The Contenders
11 We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together

You go talk to your friends talk to my friends talk to me but we are never ever getting back together. Catchy song and I love Taylor swift!

Taylor's first number one single and a song you always scream when it comes on the radio.

We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together is a song I listen to when I'm sad or want to party!

This song I really like and taylor swift is my best singer ever

12 22

She's like "We don't care! We're having fun, and that's what we want, LET'S PARTY ALL NIGHT! " Which is what I can relate to.

I love this song, but I think people vote for the sad songs, because they can remember them better.

Super good song! I took me forever to find it but when I did I couldn't stop listening to it!

Didn't like it the first time I heard it but think it's not too bad now.

13 Come Back... Be Here

One of the most underrated Taylor swift songs of all time. The beginning acoustic country feel is just amazing. Also -'taxi cabs and busy street, they never bring you back to me'- one of the best lines ever!

The song has so much emotion, I mean yes, the majority of songs on this album has feeling, but this one, it's just so special!

I like this song so much because the first part is acoustic and is getting to be more poppy through the end.

14 Starlight

Really great song, my favourite! Really wish I could see her sing for real!

Yep, This song is totally supposed to be number one. Let's go people!

I thought Oh my what a marvellous tune when I heard this song

Starlight Rised The Start Of Taylor Swift's Pop Before Sweeter Than Fiction

15 Everything Has Changed

How in the heck is this #11. Definitely top 3, probably #1! Ed and Tay are the best, and they come together for this!

I really like the sound of Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift singing together!

Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran have magical story about the music video

Taylor and Ed make magic together.

16 Sad Beautiful Tragic

This track is so haunting, so amazing, so underappreciated. Definitely my second favorite song on the album after 'All Too Well'.

A somber, relaxing and amazing breakup tune. It's definitely my favorite after All Too Well!

The most underrated song ever, I really love this song, definitely should be in the top 10

So underrated!

17 Stay Stay Stay

It is the sweetest song on the whole record. I mean, think about it: basically all the songs are sad/bittersweet. Red would be a really depressing album without the few upbveat songs, like Stay Stay Stay.
The best line is "I'd like to hang out with you for my whole life... " because that is real love. Not off-and-on like "We are never". A good, permanent relationship. Even though they get in fights, they're still together.
Daydreaming about real love...

Amazing song, it is like I don't know one of the most amazing ones, it has a catchy beat and its just amazing! The lyrics are very well thought of and the song has a great melody. Taylor Swift is AMAZING!

Am I the only one who REALLY doesn't like this song? Annoying tune, too upbeat, repeated phrases (like Shake it Off), I'm sorry, but this is her worst song from the album.

So sweet! Every taylor swift song is a masterpiece! This one just deserves some extra credit! I love you taylor! Thanks for helping get through life:)

-SWIFTIE4EVER

18 I Almost Do

I don't understand how All Too Well is 1 and this is far far away they sound very similar and this one has SO much feeling behind it. I mean: "It takes everything in me not to call you"? How can you not like this?

My list keeps changing but I agree: I Almost Do has so much emotion behind it...I almost do admit this just might be my current favorite song

Best Song by far so beautiful

I kinda like this song!

19 Girl at Home

Why why why isn't this in the top ten? It's so much better than some of the songs on the standard edition. Sad that she didn't sing it live though...

Why is this so underrated? Come on swifties!

20 Swish Swish

This is Katy Perry song not a song on the Taylor Swift album, Red

The best song in this album!
