- Tim McGraw. This introductory, career-establishing single certainly counts as a simple pleasure now, against all the more sophisticated writing she’s done since.
- You're on Your Own, Kid. In case there was any doubt that it’s unresolved childhood loneliness and rejection that make the greatest breeding ground for uber-driven superstars, Swift clears it all up for us by effectively conceding as much in this childhood origin story for her ambition and independence.
- Enchanted. Swift takes a backstage introduction to an indie-pop dude she had a crush on and turns it into something that feels like an epic moment at a royal ball.
- Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince. Swift has been surprisingly unafraid to boldly speak out about political matters in recent years, after being criticized for staying quiet in her early career.

- "Look What You Made Me Do" (Reputation, 2017) Why It’s Era-Defining: Sure, “Look What You Made Me Do” is polarizing — there’s a reason it’s No. 100 on this list — but you can bet every fan who calls themself a Swiftie remembers where they were when the music video for the Reputation lead single dropped.
- "Forever and Always" (Fearless, 2008) Why It’s Era-Defining: The scathing ode to teenage heartbreak came amid Swift’s string of famous heartthrob boyfriends, whom she’d later write songs about.
- "Dress" (Reputation, 2017) Why It’s Era-Defining: As confrontational as Reputation was in spots, the album’s real jaw-dropping moment came with “Dress,” the most explicitly seductive song to appear on a Taylor Swift LP to date.
- "Haunted" (Speak Now, 2010) Why It’s Era-Defining: “Haunted” is one of Swift’s deep cuts that’s most fiercely loved by longtime fans. Mysterious and whimsical, it captures a darker strain of the magical themes the country-pop star perhaps unintentionally infused in the Speak Now era — and just as delightfully, it summarizes Bella Swan’s POV in New Moon of the Twilight saga with perfect accuracy.
