With eleven albums and four re-recordings, Taylor Swift has been taking the
music industry by storm. Her discography consists of over two hundred songs, and
almost every album is a different genre of music. Because of this, Swift is wildly popular.
Her music appeals to many different audiences, and her lyrics are all clever and
different. Because each album is so different musically and lyrically, almost every
person has a different opinion on which album is the best.
Before discussing individual opinions, the number of awards and streams can
indicate which album the general public thinks is best. Fearless, Taylor Swift’s second
studio album, is known to be the most awarded country album in history. It was
originally released in 2008 and re-recorded in 2021. At the Grammy’s with Fearless,
Swift took home four awards: Album of the Year, Best Country Album, with “White
Horse” winning both Best Country Song and Best Female Country Vocal Performance.
It also had around 7.285 million copies sold upon release.
Another one of Taylor Swift’s most popular albums is 1989, released in 2014 and
re-recorded in 2023. It was at the top of the Billboard 200 for eleven weeks and had ten
grammy nominations. It won Album of the Year, Best Pop Vocal Album, and others. The
album sold 1.3 million copies only on the first week of release, and was Swift’s official
transition from country to pop music. And it’s looking like she’s not going back any time
soon.
However, success isn’t always measured numbers, it is also through the opinions
of Taylor Swift’s fans, the “Swifties.” Izzy Martinez, a senior at Davis High, said, “My
favorite is definitely reputation. It’s so beautifully written, and even the name ‘reputation’
says so much.” Brynlee Beckstrand, another senior, quickly agreed. Reputation seems
to be one of the most popular albums among teenagers. “I’m feeling rageful over
January, and reputation gives me something to be angry with.” With reputation’s
relatable lyrics about love, revenge, and anger, many people feel like they can connect
to it.
repuation is also an album that has a complicated story behind it. Shortly after
Kanye West’s release of “Famous,” Taylor Swift disappeared for two years. No one
knew where she was and no one saw her. But in 2017, Swift made her comeback with
reputation. The album has since gotten over nine billion streams and is one of her most
popular album’s to date.
However, Taylor Swift’s repuation is her one of her least awarded albums. It
didn’t win any awards and got very little nominations. So, in the music industry,
repuation is Taylor’s least popular album. But, to the public, it’s one of her best albums
of all time. This shows that not all nominations and awards actually reflect the impact
that music can have on people.

Overall, it’s important to respect people’s opinions. Everyone has a distinct taste
in music that is different from the next person, and we never know how a song can
affect someone. Remember that songs and albums are more than their nominations
and awards!
