Taylor Swift has amassed an impressive songbook over her extensive career. But how many songs does she have?
The power of confessional songwriting lies at the heart of Taylor Swift’s work. There’s a reason her Eras Tour was a blockbuster, and the accompanying concert film shattered the box office. Swifties have gravitated toward her because the singer writes so deeply about her life.
Whether we’re talking about early hits like “Our Song” and “Love Story” or much later entries like “You’re on Your Own, Kid” and “Karma,” Swift knows how to tell a potent story about life, love, heartache, and redemption. When she’s not writing explicitly about her own life, she’s imagining the lives of others, as she does on albums like Folklore.
Throughout her career, she has probed into human existence and what it means to be alive. Even many of her biggest hits — including but not limited to “I Knew You Were Trouble.,” “Cruel Summer,” and “Style” — have delved into the deepest parts of human emotion.
From how she carves out melodies to her thoughtful turns of phrase, Swift’s songwriting finds inspiration in Joni Mitchell and Carole King.
