— Maddie, TX
2. “I think Evermore is an underrated album, particularly ‘Dorothea’ and ‘Cowboys Like Me.’ These songs are absolutely beautiful!”
— Mary, CT
3. “As someone who was on the frontlines during the pandemic, ‘Epiphany’ holds a special place in my heart and helped me with a lot of coping.”
Think you’re Blondie’s biggest fan? Put your ~reputation~ to the test.
4. “‘Holy Ground.'”
— Amy
5. “One of my all-time favorites is ‘Treacherous.’ It beautifully describes knowing that being with someone will inevitably end poorly but loving them so much that you don’t care and stay with them anyway. It’s definitely underrated!”
— Maddie, AR
6. “‘Snow On The Beach’ (feat. More Lana Del Rey).”
— Anonymous
7. “For me, it’s ‘Timeless,’ the vault track from Speak Now (Taylor’s Version). Such a beautiful song, musically and lyrically.”
8. “‘I Look in People’s Windows.'”

9. “The unreleased track called ‘I’d Lie’ from Taylor’s first album. It’s lighthearted and feels like something a tenth grader would write (the age she did write it), but it still makes me so happy when I listen to it.”
10. “‘Message In A Bottle.'”
— Shawna, UT
11. “The bonus track from Midnights, ‘You’re Losing Me.’ Lyrically it’s a gut punch and tonally it runs the gamut from heartbroken to pissed off to desperate.”
12. “In my opinion, ‘I Bet You Think About Me’ and ‘Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince.’ Not sure if ‘Miss Americana’ qualifies as underrated, but it’s such a beautiful song and my favorite track on Lover.”
13. “I think ‘Invisible String’ from Folklore is underrated. The verse structure is unlike any song she’s written before and the subject matter is personal yet universal. Her voice is beautifully suited to its acoustic style. The concept of an invisible string connecting a person to their soulmate is such a lovely sentiment. It’s some of her best, most unexpected work….”
14. “‘Dancing With Our Hands Tied.'”
— Anonymous
15. “If you have gone through a loss, ‘Marjorie’ from Evermore is so therapeutic. In general, I feel like this album is underrated it needs more recognition!”
16. “I really like ‘Diary of Me,’ a song from early Taylor. I think it’s underrated because it’s technically unreleased, but it’s still really good! I wonder if it will be featured as a vault song when Taylor re-records her debut album.”
17. “I love ‘Hey Stephen’ endlessly. That song is pure joy, fun, clever, lovely, and adorable.”
18. “Lyrically and musically ‘Bigger Than The Whole Sky’ is a masterpiece. You can feel the tangible emotion in her voice. Interpret the lyrics as you will. This song wrecks me.”
— sarah
19. “The unreleased song from Lover called ‘Need’ is so underrated. It’s such a great song I wish it made it to the official album.”
20. “‘Seven.'”
— Anonymous
21. “I know that ‘Now That We Don’t Talk’ is popular but in my humble opinion, it’s the most underrated song from the vault and Taylor’s entire discography.”
22. “The first line in ‘The Lakes’ is *chef’s kiss*. I also really like ‘The Last Time.’ Both of those songs hit different.”
23. “The song ‘Clean’ is so epic. I get goosebumps and can’t help but belt it out! How was it not more popular?”
24. “I love ‘Don’t You’ from the Fearless album.”
25. “The song ‘Safe & Sound (feat. The Civil Wars)’ is amazing and I’m surprised people don’t talk about it!
26. “‘Hits Different.'”
— Nicole, WA
27. “For me, it’s definitely ‘New Year’s Day.’ It’s a sad yet beautiful song, and I wish it would’ve been added to The Eras Tour.”
28. “I’m obsessed with ‘Epiphany.’ It’s a heartbreaking song that I discovered soon after my mum died. The lyrics, ‘with you I serve, with you I fall down’ and ‘only twenty minutes to sleep as you dream of some epiphany’ hit me so hard. I cry every single time I listen to the song.”
29. “I never hear Swifties talking about ‘Glitch’ from Midnights!”
— Lauren, MN
31. “The ‘Evermore’ and ‘Tortured Poets Department’ title tracks are underrated, and ‘Suburban Legends,’ ‘Come Back…Be Here’ and ‘Castles Crumbling’ too.”
32. “I love ‘Cowboy Like Me’ and ‘Ivy.’ Evermore is an underrated album in general!”
— adima
33. “‘Begin Again.'”
— Michelle
34. “The song ‘State of Grace.’ ‘We learn to live with the pain, mosaic broken hearts’… I mean, come on!”

35. “I really like ‘The Lucky One.’ It’s about being in the public eye, what fame can do to you, and how it doesn’t always feel lucky to be popular. I love her breakup and love songs, but ‘The Lucky One’ feels different and unique.”
37. “The track ‘It’s Nice To Have A Friend’ from Lover is such a sweet and ethereal 2.5 minutes.”
38. “Folklore’s ‘Epiphany’ is beautiful. The vocals are breathtaking, and it makes me think of my pap, who was in the Korean War, but never talked about it and died recently.”
39. “Honestly, pretty much every song on the debut album feels underrated. I don’t see a lot of support for that album but I personally love it!”
41. “I don’t think the Evermore album is talked about enough, specifically ‘Happiness’ and ‘Right Where You Left Me.’ So underrated. If you’re sad like Taylor, listen to them.”
— Colin, MA
43. “My favorites are ‘False God,’ ‘Sparks Fly,’ ‘So It Goes,’ and ‘Haunted.’ Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) needs more love as a whole!”
44. “The song ‘Afterglow’ is timeless and gorgeous, yet how often do you hear people mention it? To think that Taylor Swift has songs that overshadow this because they are all so good is mind-blowing.”
— Lance, CO
