Taylor Swift Top 10 Songs
1. Shake It Off
“Shake It Off” is a song featured on Taylor Swift’s fifth studio album, 1989, which she wrote and composed alongside producers Max Martin and Shellback. The uptempo dance-pop track incorporates a saxophone line and discusses Swift’s apathy toward negative criticism of her image. Swift had been known for her country sound until the release of her fourth album, Red, which included pop and rock elements. This was further explored in 1989, which Swift marketed as her first pop album. The album’s diverse styles sparked discussion about Swift’s genre, to which she responded that she doesn’t label her music. While touring to support Red, Swift began recording in 1989 with a vision for a synth-pop sound that would transform her image. Martin and Shellback produced seven tracks on the standard edition, including “Shake It Off,” incorporating pop hooks and new genres like electronic and dubstep. The song was released worldwide for digital download on August 19, 2014, as the lead single from 1989 by Big Machine Records. The success of “Shake It Off” is significant for Taylor Swift as it is only her second No. 1 track, the first being “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.” These two songs demonstrate that she needs big, danceable tracks to maintain her position at the top of the charts. With “Shake It Off,” Swift moves away from writing about past relationships, as showcased in her follow-up single, “Blank Space.” The song has a simple message of ignoring negativity and dancing to your beat. It’s no surprise then that her first single as a major pop star is also her most successful song in the UK, with 2.4 million chart units and 177 million streams. It surpasses all her previous hits in the UK.

2. You Belong With Me
In Taylor Swift’s second studio album Fearless (2008), “You Belong with Me” is a song that she co-wrote with Liz Rose and produced with Nathan Chapman.

Released on April 20, 2009, as the album’s third single by Big Machine Records, the song received praise for its emotional lyrics and radio-friendly appeal, though some critics found it formulaic. At the 2010 Grammy Awards, “You Belong with Me” was nominated for Song of the Year, Record of the Year, and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.
