1. Click an album tile below to open its song list in the panel underneath the grid. Make sure you have the Song Scoring Tab selected.
2. Give each song a score from 0–5. The song and its score change color as you go.
| 5 | a potential Top 10 Fav of All Time. When anyone asks you “What’s your favorite TS song?” these are the ones that come to mind first! (Can be more than 10 of these, of course!) |
|---|---|
| 4.5 | almost a top 10 fav, could go either way, but here for now. |
| 4 | you love this but it might not be mentioned in your Top 10. |
| 3 | a really good song, we still like these! These would be included on an expanded TS playlist. |
| 2 | these might actually be really good songs that you just don’t vibe with and likely would not make a playlist unless you’re in the mood to hear them. Or they could be ones you don’t like and generally skip unless you’re in the mood to hear them. |
| 1 | you wouldn’t put these on any playlist you build, they are not for you. |
| 0 | your least favorites, obviously. We’re not haters out here. But we’re good without these. |
NOTE: Albums rank themselves. Each album tile shows a live average of that album’s scored songs. The “My Favorite Albums” results section below sorts all 12 highest to lowest, automatically. (NOTE: this is “mathematically” your favorite album order… but it doesn’t change your heart’s true album order. Your fav is still your fav!)
3. Build your Eras Album. Check the box next to one song per album (plus one bonus pick from any album) to assemble a 13-track “Eras” playlist in the results section.
4. Build your Perfect Album. Every song you scored as a 5 shows up in the “Perfect Album” pool in the Results section below. Choose 13 of those songs (choices are hard!) to fill your Perfect Album’s 13 track slots. Then arrange them in the order you’d want to listen to that album.
5. SAVE your progress. Your scores auto-save in this browser as you go, but they can disappear if you clear your browsing data, use a private window, or switch devices. Use the Save data to file button to download a backup you can re-upload later (even on a different device or browser). Use the Print / Save PDF Snapshot to keep a dated printable copy of your results.
6. HAVE FUN! Play the lyrics game and see how you do. More lyrics will be updated/included soon. And when TS13, Debut TV or Rep TV drop, this site will be updated to include new tracks and vault tracks.
1. Click an album tile below to open its song list in the panel underneath the grid. Make sure you have the Song Ranking Tab selected.
2. The left column shows the album in track order with your song scores (if you’ve done that). The right column shows your rankings for this album.
3. You can begin ranking songs using the RANK menu -OR- if you already have songs scored, populate your ranking with the ‘Start From My Scores’ button.
NOTE: When ranking, picking a number that’s already taken slides the other songs down to make room.
4. Use the arrows to nudge songs up or down, and ✕ to take one out. (You don’t have to rank every song.)
This builds your “Eras: The 1s” Album automatically down in the Results section.
NOTE: Your Rankings auto-save in this browser as you go, but they can disappear if you clear your browsing data, use a private window, or switch devices. Use the Save data to file button to download a backup you can re-upload later (even on a different device or browser). Use the Print / Save PDF Snapshot to keep a dated printable copy of your results.
5. HAVE FUN!
My name is Rich and I’m an Over 50 Swiftie. I made this scoring tool as a Google Sheet that I posted for the TS Reddit community back before TLOAS came out. I recently changed it to be an interactive webpage so I could have more fun with it and Swifties like you could get more use out of it. (It’s most recently been updated to include the TLOAS: The Encore songs.)
I used to work in country radio and met Taylor when she was 16, touring stations to promote her debut album. At the time, I worked simultaneously for KZLA radio in Los Angeles and a nationally syndicated show called AfterMidNite. She visited AfterMidNite and then the next night played at the Whisky. She was incredibly sweet and I’ve followed her career as a fan ever since.
I decided to make this when a Swiftie friend asked me my 3 favorite albums, and I named them, but then questioned myself on the order. So I made a spreadsheet, scored them all and sorted it. I was surprised to find the top 3 were still the top 3, but in a different order (mathematically). I’ve had fun updating and iterating on this since then (and of course the order has changed as some song scores have changed and we’ve gotten 2 new albums since then)!

I plan to keep updating this page’s features and will of course update the page with every new album or TV/deluxe version that adds new songs. I was laid off last year the day TLOAS dropped (!) and was thankful to have a banger album to vibe to and counter the major bummer of that news. I did this as a fun project while looking for work. If you like this page’s features and want to drop me a donation through Ko-fi, that’s much appreciated.
