Today’s category is best pop song! Taylor has dabbled in lots of genres over the course of her career, so you decide what constitutes pop or not for purposes of this.
Post your top 5 pop songs in the comments below!
Answers will be weighted by rank, so it’s important to number your responses 1-5, with 1 being the highest and 5 being the lowest.
Also, for purposes of this game, we aren’t distinguishing between the original version or Taylor’s Version.
REMINDER: Please type out the full name of the songs you nominate. This will make it easier for data collection, and if the song name is abbreviated or there’s a typo, I can’t guarantee it’ll be counted. So please double check your comment before posting!
I’ll post the overall top 5 of each category based on comments on January 2. This will give my husband and I a bit of time to collect and check the data to make sure it’s right.
I love your list. This would be mine too!

I went with pure pop here - I’d include Holy Ground and False God if I loosened my constraints slightly. Honorable mentions to I Did Something Bad, Dancing With Our Hands Tied, and I Know Places - they all also felt slightly too dark to include here.

I'm actually surprised by the small amount of people nominating New Romantics in their top 5, it's the poppiest moment on 1989 imo
it's one of my favourite songs in her discography and was my number 1 at one point. still top 5 now !!

Idk if it counts since it’s also country but You Belong With Me is also high up on the list!
