In 2 weeks we'll be celebrating the 5th anniversary of the release of Taylor Swift's debut single called "Tim McGraw" so I decided to make this survivor. Just in praise of the long winding road she's gone through all these years to get to where she is now. As the game goes on I'll be posting some short flashbacks and memories of her career, if you want to share your opinions or personal recaps, feel free to do so. Enjoy it and thanks for your support!

Say Goodbye To: #13 |
"Fifteen"
4th single from the album: Fearless
Despite being a 19-year old song writter, Taylor stated that the age of fifteen was the age where she had learnt the most from life. The result? You got it, a brand new song. Fifteen depicts the events in her freshman year in high school and how she met her best friend Abigail Anderson. Eventually it was released as a single, it was performed at the 52nd Grammy's ceremony and reached top 25. | #14 |
"Change"
Promo single from the album: Fearless
When Taylor was first signed to Big Machine Records, it was a new and extremely small record label, that consisted of approximately twelve employees and her as the only signed artist. Eventually she realized that it would be very difficult for her to breakthrough in such a small label and things would have to "change". That's where the inspiration came for this song.
It was included in the AT&T Team USA Soundtrack and became Taylor's first ever top 10 single. |
 ELIMINATED.#15 |
"Mean"
3rd single from the album: Speak Now
Did you Taylor Swift haters actually expected to get away without getting your names in a song? Well, not exactly. Taylor expressed that "Mean" is a response to people who constantly criticize whatever she does and she also indicated that this song was meant to appeal people of all ages in different situations, something everybody can relate to. Despite several complains from fans, it was finally chosen as the 3rd official single from Speak Now in North America and it's currently being promoted even though it already hit top 20 when the album was released. | #16 |
"Crazier"
Promo single from the album: Hannah Montana The Movie OST
The song's appearance in Hannah Montana: The Movie came about after filmmakers approached Taylor about using her music in the film. Film officials emailed her asking for a song "that was perfect to fall in love to". Although it was not written intentionally for the film, Taylor sent in "Crazier" and the filmmakers "loved it". The scene where she performs the song in the movie was cut off and instead it was released as an official music video. It peaked at #17 in the Hot 100. | #17 |
"Tim McGraw"
1st single from the album: Taylor Swift
Ironically, the first Taylor Swift single ever is the first of hers to be eliminated from this game. But that's okay considering it was just the beginning. The song was written about Taylor Swift's former boyfriend who was a senior year student. She knew they were eventually going to break up, so she decided to make a song to make him remember her. Isn't it cute? | #18 |
"Two Is Better Than One"
2nd single from the album: Love Drunk
Second single released from Boys Like Girls' album "Love Drunk", eventually it went to become their biggest hit to date, as well as Taylor Swift's 21st top 40 entry. However, I still havent forgiven them for not including Taylor in the music video. ¬¬ | #19 |
"Half Of My Heart"
3rd single from the album: Battle Studies
In 2009 John Mayer personally tweeted about this song he had just written and he also expressed his big desire to sing it with Taylor who by that time was only 19. Nobody knows exactly what happened behind close doors. But the song "Dear John" answered a lot of questions one year later. The music video does not feature Taylor and went to become a top 30 hit in the USA. | #20 |
"Best Days Of Your Life"
2nd single from the album: Kellie Pickler
This was the very first vocal collaboration of Taylor Swift released as a single. For this song, ex american Idol Kellie Pickler was inspired by a recent break up with her boyfriend, and there was no better crying shoulder than her friend and fellow country singer Taylor Swift. As you probably noticed in the music video, you may not want to mess with a country girl's heart. The song went top 10 in the country chart and it's certified platinum. |
