I have to agree about State Of Grace, the transition in the lyrics is just amazing; I love how in the first verse it's "now all we know is touch and go" and "we are alone with our changing minds" then after she meets him ("I never saw you comiiiing") it becomes "now all we know, is dont let go" and "we are alone just you and me".
Whoever wrote that for her is genius.
See: even when she praises Taylor, she's dragging her.
Her 20-million selling "The Woman In Me", 40-million selling album "Come on Over" and 20-million selling "Up!" were entirely composed by her and her husband.

In the land of Gods and Monsters
I was an Angel
Living in the garden of evil
Screwed up, scared, doing anything that I needed
Shining like a fiery beacon

All my life
I've been fighting a war
I can't talk to you or your friends
It's not only you
My heart jumps around when I'm alluded to
This will not do
Cause I was raised up
To be admired to be noticed
But when you're withdrawn it's the closest thing
To assault when all eyes are on you
This will not do
I'm faking glory
Lick my lips toss my hair
And send a smile over
And the stories brand new
But I can take it from here
I'll find my own bravado
It's a switch flipped
It's a pill tipped back, it's a moon eclipsed, whoa
And I can tell you that when the lights come on I'll be ready for this
It's in your blood stream
A collision of atoms that happens before your eyes
It's a marathon run or a mountain you scale without thinking of size
I was frightened of every little thing that I thought was out to get me down
To trip me up and laugh at me
But I learnt not to want
The quiet of the room with no one around to find me out
I want the applause the approval the things that make me go
