1989
 
13. Taylor Swift
1989 (Big Machine Records, 2013)
 
"Without even considering the superb song-craft on this album and its can't-get-this-damn-song-out-of-my-head hooks, the cultural impact of 1989is undeniable. Not only has everyone heard at least a few songs off of this album, but it also helped define the pop sound of this decade, ushering in a new wave of '80s-inspired synths. Its themes of independence and freedom resonate with mass audiences, whilst concurrently reminding us that pop music doesn't have to be vapid. How often do we get albums as multi-talented as this?"

 

Taylor Swift, Reputation
 
19. Taylor Swift
Reputation (Big Machine, 2017)
 
"The old Taylor can't come to the phone."
 
"In the death of her reputation, she felt truly alive."
 
"A grower. Unexpectedly vulnerable, poignant, under the brash and aggressive armor."

33. Taylor Swift
Red (Big Machine, 2012)
 
"The first album to show not only her depth, but her breadth as a songwriter, singer and purveyor of culture. Speak Now was the album on which she fully took the reigns and wrote every song alone. It may even flow better as an overall album. But the high points of Red are unimpeachable. Stadium rock, pop country, coffeeshop confessionals, synthpop celebrations and the most controversial EDM drop of the digital era were all carefully housed under the watchful ear and pen of our greatest and most consistently undervalued modern songwriter. It's also home to her two best songs, 'All Too Well' and 'Begin Again.'"
