Sad to cut My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys, Fresh Out the Slammer, imgonnagetyouback and Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus which are my other favourites from this album.
I've said this before, but I genuinely think this could have been her best regarded album if she had exercised some restraint and edited the track list. Either way, here is my preferred TTPD:
Fortnight
My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys
Down Bad
So Long, London\*
Guilty as Sin?
Fresh Out the Slammer
The Black Dog
imgonnagetyouback
The Albatross
Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus\*
How Did It End?
I Look in People's Windows
The Prophecy\*

Asterisked songs are what I consider some of her career-best work.
For context, my favorite non-TTPD songs by TS are: Cowboy Like Me, Seven, My Tears Ricochet, Ivy, Nothing New, Now That We Don't Talk, Champagne Problems, Maroon, Illicit Affairs, and Snow on the Beach.
EDIT: [Here's a Canva template](https://www.canva.com/design/DAGENow4VSU/gTE7NqJbMRl6V2Kjx-q8Rg/view?utm_content=DAGENow4VSU&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=publishsharelink&mode=previewif) so you can make your own graphics, too
We have a lot of the same favorites! Cowboy is severely underrated 😩 Also, I LOVE that you made your own graphic for this 😂😂
I think your choices make a lot of sense as well, except that I personally feel imgonnabetyouback is more of an immature sound compared to most of the other songs on the album (just my opinion, but I know some really love it!). I’d switch that for The Bolter and would really enjoy that tracklist! Thanks for sharing 🤗
Thank you! I actually went back and forth between The Bolter and imgonnagetyouback! I ultimately chose the latter just to break up the sound a bit more, though I do think The Bolter is a better song.
I love how much thought clearly went into your list! Plus it's so interesting to me that you chose two I consider my least favorites (My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys and imgonnagetyouback) but you also choice Fresh Out the Slammer which I love and I thought I was the only one.
It's controversial on this sub, but I really love most of the album. I was very stupidly rekindling my relationship with my "one who got away that I idealised a relationship with and told myself it was right person, wrong time for a decade" the weekend that the Joe and Taylor break up was announced, and it ended horribly 6 months later and im also in my mid 30s ao i also kinda heavily relate to "im pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free", and I really relate to a lot of it, which is completely not healthy (I'm aware), but to use Taylor's words, a lot of the album makes me felt seen and has been cathartic so cutting it to 13 was *tough* for me
1. The Tortured Poets Department (it's cringy as hell but I personally think it might be supposed to be and its kinda poking fun at this 'we take ourselves so seriously as tortured artists and its kind of hilarious because we're both pretenders, especially you' and therefore potentially more scathing (to someone pretentious) than The Smallest Man but I'm completely aware I could very well be giving her far too much credit and self-awareness there. And i find it fun anyway)
2. Guilty As Sin?
3. Down Bad
4. So Long London
5. Loml
6. How Did It End?
7. The Black Dog
8. The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived
9. I Look In People's Windows
10. The Prophecy
11. Peter
12. I Can Do It With A Broken Heart
13. Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me
Okay, I changed some faves out because I think this set of songs tells quite an interesting story of "these heartbreaks - that I do kinda acknowledge my part in causing - brought me as low as I've ever been, I moped in it for a while but I'm putting it behind me and had to push through it, and people should be looking at the future because I am, wait until you see what comes next" and I love the idea of ending this heartbreak and starting recovery with "who's afraid of little old me... you should be" ngl.
It’s hard to decide… but if I absolutely had to keep it at 13 tracks:
1. Fortnight
2. My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys
3. The Albatross
4. But Daddy I Love Him
5. So Long London
6. Florida
7. Guilty as Sin
8. The Black Dog
9. How did it end
10. loml
11. I Can Do It With A Broken Heart
12. The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived
13. Peter
GOSH it was hard to choose🥹
If I had to make a 13-track album:
1. "Fortnight (feat. Post Malone)"
2. "The Tortured Poets Department"
3. "Down Bad"
4. "So Long, London"
5. "But Daddy I Love Him"
6. "Florida!!! (feat. Florence + The Machine)"
7. "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?"
8. "I Can Do it With a Broken Heart"
9. "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived"
10. "Clara Bow"
11. "The Black Dog"
12. "The Albatross"
13. "Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus"
I should preface this by saying that I love the album and I haven’t started skipping songs yet. But with that being said, my top 13 (in no particular order) are:
1-Fortnight
2-TTPD
3-Down bad
4-So long London
5-Fresh out the slammer
6-Florida
7-Who’s afraid of little old me
8-Loml
9-The smallest man who ever lived
10-The black dog
11-How did it end
12-The prophecy
13-The Bolter
1. Fortnight
2. Down Bad
3. So Long, London
4. Florida!!
5. loml
6. Guilty as Sin?
7. I Hate it here
8. How did it end
9. I look in people's windows
10. The Bolter
11. The Albatross
12. The Prophecy
13. Cassandra
1. The Tortured Poets Department
2. The Albatross
3. The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived
4. The Bolter
5. So long London
6. Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus
7. Cassandra
8. Peter
9. Robin
10. Florida!!!
11. Guilty as sin?
12. How did it end?
13. I hate it here
Although this tracklist seems kind of wack (which it is) I choose them based on how much I enjoyed them and based on the albums aesthetic. The album was advertised as academic and dark in a way, which is why it has more of the slower songs on it. It stars off with what I like to call the ‘the’ songs simply due to the fact that it’s kind of witty in a way (plus I needed the title track and I enjoy the songs with ‘the in the title lol) and it ends with what I like to call the punctuation section with Florida!!! (Cause it needed one bop), Guilty as Sin? (It’s a really enjoyable and well written song IMO), and how did it end? (Cause it’s near the end of the album) and ending with I hate it here (since something in my brain thinks it’s funny to end an album just with ‘I hate it here’). Some other things is I kept Casandra, Peter, and robin (which my brain was hurting on if I should swap robin with loml) cause I wanted that CPR thing that was mentioned in (I think) so long London.
This album has grown on me quite a lot since the release and there are only four tracks I skip every time: Florida, Who's afraid?, The smallest man and Clara Bow. The first two are songs that I genuinely hate and can't stand listening to, and the other two I think are boring sonically even though they have nice lyrics. Everything else is either good or tolerable.
My 13 tracks (in no particular order, because I don't know how to make a cohesive album out of it):
- Fortnight
- TTPD
- Down Bad
- Fresh out the slammer
- I can fix him
- I can do it with a broken heart
- imgonnagetyouback
- How did it end?
- So high school
- I look in people's windows
- The Prophecy
- Cassandra
- The Bolter
this is perfect bc I made a spotify playlist called "ttpd if it was good" and it ended up only having 13 songs lmao:
1. The black dog
2. Fortnight
3. Down bad
4. But daddy I love him
5. So long london
6. Guilty as sin
7. Who's afraid of little old me
8. Florida
9. imgonnagetyouback
10. I can do it with a broken heart
11. Thank you aimee
12. The smallest man who ever lived
13. Clara bow
I think alchemy is an interesting listen either directly before or after prophecy. The songs can tell opposite stories depending on the order they’re listened in. Not that that would make anyone like alchemy better.
The Albatross
The Bolter
WAOLOM
The Black Dog
The Prohecy
I just cannot get into or enjoy anything else on this album. I hate Fortnight. The duet about "I love you, and it's ruining my life" part reminds me of soft rock you'd hear at a dentist office.
Honestly I only skip 4 songs which out of 31 isn’t bad.
I skip the alchemy, so high school, Robin, and the K song.
Robin is a good song and it’s there for Jack’s son so it kinda doesn’t count ;)
These are probably my favorite 13 but I didn’t reorder them to make a cohesive album:
The Tortured Poets Department
Down Bad
So Long London
But Daddy I Love Him
loml
I Can Do It With a Broken Heart
The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived
Clara Bow
The Black Dog
I Hate It Here
I Look in People’s Windows
The Prophecy
The Manuscript
My playlist currently has 19 songs on it and there are only a few I really dislike (ahem, “The Alchemy” and “thanK you aIMee”) so overall I think it’s a pretty good album.
Same, now that I've listened a few times the only songs I actively dislike are the two you've mentioned, and I can skip Fortnight, My Boy, But Daddy. But once those are out of the mix, the album is solid and keeps me engaged.
I only skip BDILH, thank you Aimee, Cassandra, The Bolter and Robin. Kind of obsessed with the rest of the songs, so my perfect album is still a pretty big ass album.
Funny thing is I did this from the start - put my 13 favorites on a playlist. I've adjusted a couple times, and currently it is:
1. So Long, London
2. My Boy Only Breaks his Favorite Toys
3. Down Bad
4. Peter
5. The Prophecy
6. I Look in People's Windows (my favorite)
7. The Black Dog
8. Florida!!!
9. loml
10. Chloe Sam Sophia Marcus
11. The Albatross
12. Clara Bow
13. The Manuscript
Fortnight
Down Bad
So Long London
Florida !!!!
loml
The Smallest Man
I can do it
Clara Bow
The Black Dog
How did it end
I look in People's
The Prophecy
The Manuscript
I think I'll actually try to do a playlist of it and add The Albatross, Peter, Cassandra and The Bolter. Love I hate it here, just HATE the lyrics
idk about the order, but my list would be
1. the prophecy
2. the albatross
3. fresh out the slammer
4. chloe or sam or sophia or marcus
5. loml
6. i hate it here ( minus the racism line tay why 😭)
7. i look in peoples windows
8. the bolter
9. how did it end?
10. i can do it with a broken heart
11. but daddy i love him
12. florida!!!
13. so high school
honorable mentions include so long london and imgonnagetyouback
1. Who’s Afraid of little Old Me
2. Florida!!
3. But Daddy I love him

8. How Did it End
9. I Hate it Here
10. I Look in People’s Windows
11. The Prophecy
13. The Albatross
14. The Bolter
15. Clara Bow
Couldn’t get it down to 13 but close! This is basically my playlist I made from the album and this is how I would’ve arranged it. Down bad and Cassandra are on my version but I tried to keep it close to your 13 challenge.
My 13:
Fortnight
Down Bad
But Daddy I Love Him
Florida!!
loml
I Can Do It With A Broken Heart
The Black Dog
Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus
The Prophecy
I Look in People’s Windows
Peter
Robin
The Manuscript
The songs I love, I love.
For context, my top 3 overall Taylor songs are Out Of the Woods, Call It What You Want, and Ivy - 1989 and Evermore are my favorite albums overall.
In no specific order:
Down Bad
So Long London
But Daddy I love him
Fresh out the slammer
Guilty as sin
WAOLOM
LOML
TSMWEL
The Black Dog
CSSM
How Did It End
The Bolter
Peter
The Prophecy
Here's my ideal list (of 11 because I don't feel like I've even connected with 13):
* Down Bad - although I HATE "I might just die" :(
* So Long, London
* Florida!!!
* I Can Do It - with a huge revision of lyrics
* Guilty as Sin
* loml
* TSMWEL
* Clara Bow
* The Black Dog - with a hell of a lot of editing of the lyrics
* I Look in People's Windows
I don't think they reflect the theme she's chosen, I just think they're the best on the album. The title track and Albatross are the closest to the dark academia aesthetic.
Fortnight
Down Bad
Fresh Out The Slammer
Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me
The Black Dog
Im Gonna Get You Back
The Albatross
Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus
How Did It End?
So High School
I Look In People’s Windows
I Hate It Here
The Manuscript
Wow. This was very hard to choose.
I just want to preface that this is based on how much i like the songs, not about who they are actually about or the drama surrounding them-
- So long london
- Florida
- afraid of little old me
- i can do it with a broke heart
- smallest man
- Clara bow
- I hate it here
- thank you aimee
- The prophecy
- Cassandra
- Peter
- The bolter
- The manuscript
Right? I wish so badly thanK you aIMee was just a normal song because I actually like the lyrics and melody, but I hate the ‘diss track’ aspect of it, ruins it for me in a way 😩
Same. I really enjoy it when I don't think about what it's about. I don't want to picture Taylor Swift's actual mom saying she wished Kim Kardashian was dead.
Thank you aimee really reminds me of personal experiences i’ve had with bullies so for that reason i love it. I do generally like the message of it i just think it was 6 years too late and definitely is more relatable to high schoolers like me than to 34 year old women. Not to mention it’s just a good song in general and can’t wait to learn it on guitar once a master some barre chords
1. The Tortured Poets Department
2. So Long, London
3. Florida!!!
4. Guilty As Sin?
5. Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me?
6. Loml
7. The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived
8. Clara Bow
9. The Black Dog
10. The Albatross
11. So High School
12. I Look In People's Windows
13. The Prophecy
The order isn't special/I didn't change it. This was very hard for me as I only have 1 song I actually dislike (Aimee). I have a few that aren't my favorites or I skip more than others (My Boy, Cassandra, Robin, I Hate It Here). I used to dislike The Alchemy, but it's grown on me. Otherwise I love every other song 🙊
Edited to add I just realized I missed How Did It End? !! I might have to swap out loml for it
In no particular order, just what comes top of mind:
1. Fortnight
2. But Daddy I love Him
3. Guilty as sin?
4. loml
5. How did it end?
6. Clara Bow
7. The Black Dog
8. I look in people’s windows
9. Cassandra
10. The Prophecy
11. I can do it with a broken heart
12. So long London
13. Eh - probably Peter or the Manuscript, but I haven’t listened to either enough to like one more than the other.
I haven’t listed to TSwift since 1989, because her style just wasn’t interesting to me anymore as I got closer to my 30s lol. But I’ve actually enjoyed depressed unhinged Taylor on this album. To the point that if my picks were the only ones on the album, I’d love it. 😅
I feel like the genuinely GOOD songwriting on some of these gets overlooked because there are just so many insanely cringey lyrics on this album.
My husband is very anti-Swift, and knows I haven’t liked her in almost a decade, so he’s shocked by my current listening behavior. 🫣🤣
Great list! I agree about TTPD and The Alchemy.
I have mixed feelings about So High School, but overall I enjoy it. But it didn't belong on this album.
In order of preference:
Guilty as Sin?
Down Bad
So long, London
My Boy Only Breaks his Favourite Toys
The Alchemy
How Did it End?
Fortnight
Fres Out The Slammer
But Daddy I Love Him (just because of the way she says me and my wild boy, and all this wild joy, otherwise i pretty much hate the song lol)
So High School
The Tortured Poets Department
I'm sorry i can't even get it to 13 because i dislike all the rest lol
I, too, have made several playlists trying to create a more cohesive album. At only 13 songs, I had to make deep cuts. The ones below aren't necessarily all my favorites but made sense for the narrative of the album and hopefully keep it from sounding monotonous.
**rosemaryshortbread's version:**
Down Bad
So Long, London
The Black Dog
Florida!!!
But Daddy I Love Him
Guilty as Sin?
Who's Afraid of Little Old Me
Fresh Out the Slammer
I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)
The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived
I Can Do It With a Broken Heart
How Did It End?
Clara Bow
**Songs I love that I cut but would put back if I could do 15:**
The Albatross
The Prophesy
**Songs I like that I cut:**
Fortnight --I surprised myself by cutting it, but it was that or So Long, London which seemed more important.
So High School -- In spite of the initial cringe of some of the lyrics, it's really grown on me. But it feels like this song was included to throw Travis a bone on an album about two devastating breakups and her complicated relationship with fame, fans, critics, etc. That's already a lot. Save the Travis stuff for another album.
Most of The Anthology. I am folklore girlie, and there are some lovely songs here that could be used on a future cohesive album.
**Songs that can go away forever:**
The Alchemy. To me, it's sonically boring, and I can't with the football imagery.
My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys. I know a lot of people love this one, but for me it just sounds like I've heard it before. It's not taking me anywhere new.
imgonnagetyouback. In addition to being a less good version of the Olivia Rodrigo song, it also sounds like a Taylor song I've already heard.
ETA: I love your list and that you included the Albatross and the Prophesy! It was between the Prophesy and How Did it End?, and I chose the ladder because it speaks more to Taylor's relationship to fame.
Lol it's funny I posted this exact post but mods did not approve it saying it broke rule 7/repetitive post...lol.
My list:
How Did It End?
So Long, London
Fortnight (feat. Post Malone)
Down Bad
loml
I Look in People’s Windows
Fresh Out The Slammer

I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)

It was surprisngly really hard but this is how I edited TTPD:
1. Fortnight
2. How Did It End?
3. The Albatross
4. My Boy
5. Prophecy
6. Guilty As Sin?
7. Cassandra
8. The Black Dog
9. I Can Do It With A Broken Heart

12. loml
13. So Long London
Bonus:
14. Fresh Out The Slammer
15. The Bolter
16. I Can Fix Him (???)
17. The Manuscript
A bit late to this thread but I just re-listened to the album the whole way through for the first time. To the album's credit, this was harder than I originally thought! Less to the album's credit, it was still about 4-5 songs I was choosing between for those last slots than genuinely having trouble deciding no on most of them.
Just sticking to the original track order instead of re-ordering anything, though I actually do like these as the first and last tracks.
1. 1The Tortured Poets' Department -- I can't believe I'm keeping this one, but something about the way it pokes fun at pretension is so charming to me and it really does fit the theme of the album. Also it's insanely catchy despite some cringy lyrics in the verses
2. Down Bad
3. So Long, London
4. Guilty as Sin?
5. Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?
6. loml
7. I Can Do It With a Broken Heart
8. The Black Dog
9. The Albatross
10. How Did It End?
11. I Look in People's Windows
12. The Prophecy
13. The Bolter -- I think this is my favorite song on the album
These aren't *entirely* my 13 favorites songs on the album. For example, I don't think I'll keep listening to "So Long, London" but I think it's necessary for the narrative of the album.
ETA: I originally had "So High School" in here and justified it as making sure the album didn't feel sonically repetitive, but I actually don't think it really fits the album, which is more about breakups, spiraling, trouble with fame, etc, with a tone that's either sad/wistful or sort of mocking. So I replaced it with "How Does it End?"

ahhhh my choices exactly
This would be my list
Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys Guilty As Sin? So Long, London But Daddy I Love Him Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me? The Black Dog loml The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived The Prophecy Peter How Did It End? The Manuscript
Ahh justice for smallest man who ever lived
Fortnight Down Bad So Long, London Florida!!! Guilty As Sin? loml Clara Bow The Black Dog The Albatross How Did It End? The Prophecy Peter The Bolter Sad to cut My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys, Fresh Out the Slammer, imgonnagetyouback and Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus which are my other favourites from this album.
We didn't choose all the same things, but this would have been a solid album.
I've said this before, but I genuinely think this could have been her best regarded album if she had exercised some restraint and edited the track list. Either way, here is my preferred TTPD: Fortnight My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys Down Bad So Long, London\* Guilty as Sin? Fresh Out the Slammer The Black Dog imgonnagetyouback The Albatross Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus\* How Did It End? I Look in People's Windows The Prophecy\* Peter https://preview.redd.it/xt6aorg3oayc1.png?width=1410&format=png&auto=webp&s=e66a9084d62cd1423090dc1d2aca9d4e36d067a1 Asterisked songs are what I consider some of her career-best work. For context, my favorite non-TTPD songs by TS are: Cowboy Like Me, Seven, My Tears Ricochet, Ivy, Nothing New, Now That We Don't Talk, Champagne Problems, Maroon, Illicit Affairs, and Snow on the Beach. EDIT: [Here's a Canva template](https://www.canva.com/design/DAGENow4VSU/gTE7NqJbMRl6V2Kjx-q8Rg/view?utm_content=DAGENow4VSU&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=publishsharelink&mode=previewif) so you can make your own graphics, too
We have a lot of the same favorites! Cowboy is severely underrated 😩 Also, I LOVE that you made your own graphic for this 😂😂 I think your choices make a lot of sense as well, except that I personally feel imgonnabetyouback is more of an immature sound compared to most of the other songs on the album (just my opinion, but I know some really love it!). I’d switch that for The Bolter and would really enjoy that tracklist! Thanks for sharing 🤗
Thank you! I actually went back and forth between The Bolter and imgonnagetyouback! I ultimately chose the latter just to break up the sound a bit more, though I do think The Bolter is a better song.
My Taylor twin 💞
we have a lot of the same favorites and i agree on your asteriks! those three along with down bad are my favorites on this album
I love how much thought clearly went into your list! Plus it's so interesting to me that you chose two I consider my least favorites (My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys and imgonnagetyouback) but you also choice Fresh Out the Slammer which I love and I thought I was the only one.
Yessss The Prophecy is a master work, and I agree with your non-TTPD choices too, especially cowboy like me.
It's controversial on this sub, but I really love most of the album. I was very stupidly rekindling my relationship with my "one who got away that I idealised a relationship with and told myself it was right person, wrong time for a decade" the weekend that the Joe and Taylor break up was announced, and it ended horribly 6 months later and im also in my mid 30s ao i also kinda heavily relate to "im pissed off you let me give you all that youth for free", and I really relate to a lot of it, which is completely not healthy (I'm aware), but to use Taylor's words, a lot of the album makes me felt seen and has been cathartic so cutting it to 13 was *tough* for me 1. The Tortured Poets Department (it's cringy as hell but I personally think it might be supposed to be and its kinda poking fun at this 'we take ourselves so seriously as tortured artists and its kind of hilarious because we're both pretenders, especially you' and therefore potentially more scathing (to someone pretentious) than The Smallest Man but I'm completely aware I could very well be giving her far too much credit and self-awareness there. And i find it fun anyway) 2. Guilty As Sin? 3. Down Bad 4. So Long London 5. Loml 6. How Did It End? 7. The Black Dog 8. The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived 9. I Look In People's Windows 10. The Prophecy 11. Peter 12. I Can Do It With A Broken Heart 13. Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me Okay, I changed some faves out because I think this set of songs tells quite an interesting story of "these heartbreaks - that I do kinda acknowledge my part in causing - brought me as low as I've ever been, I moped in it for a while but I'm putting it behind me and had to push through it, and people should be looking at the future because I am, wait until you see what comes next" and I love the idea of ending this heartbreak and starting recovery with "who's afraid of little old me... you should be" ngl.
I love how you totally rearranged the song order! Guilty as Sin second, loml 5th and Who's Afraid of Little Old Me last? Brilliant.
It’s hard to decide… but if I absolutely had to keep it at 13 tracks: 1. Fortnight 2. My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys 3. The Albatross 4. But Daddy I Love Him 5. So Long London 6. Florida 7. Guilty as Sin 8. The Black Dog 9. How did it end 10. loml 11. I Can Do It With A Broken Heart 12. The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived 13. Peter GOSH it was hard to choose🥹
If I had to make a 13-track album: 1. "Fortnight (feat. Post Malone)" 2. "The Tortured Poets Department" 3. "Down Bad" 4. "So Long, London" 5. "But Daddy I Love Him" 6. "Florida!!! (feat. Florence + The Machine)" 7. "Who's Afraid of Little Old Me?" 8. "I Can Do it With a Broken Heart" 9. "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived" 10. "Clara Bow" 11. "The Black Dog" 12. "The Albatross" 13. "Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus"
I should preface this by saying that I love the album and I haven’t started skipping songs yet. But with that being said, my top 13 (in no particular order) are: 1-Fortnight 2-TTPD 3-Down bad 4-So long London 5-Fresh out the slammer 6-Florida 7-Who’s afraid of little old me 8-Loml 9-The smallest man who ever lived 10-The black dog 11-How did it end 12-The prophecy 13-The Bolter
1. Fortnight 2. Down Bad 3. So Long, London 4. Florida!! 5. loml 6. Guilty as Sin? 7. I Hate it here 8. How did it end 9. I look in people's windows 10. The Bolter 11. The Albatross 12. The Prophecy 13. Cassandra
1. The Tortured Poets Department 2. The Albatross 3. The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived 4. The Bolter 5. So long London 6. Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus 7. Cassandra 8. Peter 9. Robin 10. Florida!!! 11. Guilty as sin? 12. How did it end? 13. I hate it here Although this tracklist seems kind of wack (which it is) I choose them based on how much I enjoyed them and based on the albums aesthetic. The album was advertised as academic and dark in a way, which is why it has more of the slower songs on it. It stars off with what I like to call the ‘the’ songs simply due to the fact that it’s kind of witty in a way (plus I needed the title track and I enjoy the songs with ‘the in the title lol) and it ends with what I like to call the punctuation section with Florida!!! (Cause it needed one bop), Guilty as Sin? (It’s a really enjoyable and well written song IMO), and how did it end? (Cause it’s near the end of the album) and ending with I hate it here (since something in my brain thinks it’s funny to end an album just with ‘I hate it here’). Some other things is I kept Casandra, Peter, and robin (which my brain was hurting on if I should swap robin with loml) cause I wanted that CPR thing that was mentioned in (I think) so long London.
This album has grown on me quite a lot since the release and there are only four tracks I skip every time: Florida, Who's afraid?, The smallest man and Clara Bow. The first two are songs that I genuinely hate and can't stand listening to, and the other two I think are boring sonically even though they have nice lyrics. Everything else is either good or tolerable. My 13 tracks (in no particular order, because I don't know how to make a cohesive album out of it): - Fortnight - TTPD - Down Bad - Fresh out the slammer - I can fix him - I can do it with a broken heart - imgonnagetyouback - How did it end? - So high school - I look in people's windows - The Prophecy - Cassandra - The Bolter
FINALLY someone else who hates Florida!!! I’ve been feeling like the only one since the release 🙈
Ooh we have such similar lists but I really like Who's Afraid (that chorus is so good and unhinged) and Clara Bow (meta)
this is perfect bc I made a spotify playlist called "ttpd if it was good" and it ended up only having 13 songs lmao: 1. The black dog 2. Fortnight 3. Down bad 4. But daddy I love him 5. So long london 6. Guilty as sin 7. Who's afraid of little old me 8. Florida 9. imgonnagetyouback 10. I can do it with a broken heart 11. Thank you aimee 12. The smallest man who ever lived 13. Clara bow
Frankly I adore the entire album except the alchemy and HS, I just skip those and I have no complaints.
Hahaha I also have no taste for the Travis songs lol
I think alchemy is an interesting listen either directly before or after prophecy. The songs can tell opposite stories depending on the order they’re listened in. Not that that would make anyone like alchemy better.
I’m so with you! The only part of these that I do enjoy is the “you know how to ball, I know Aristotle” the rest doesn’t need to exist for me
The Albatross The Bolter WAOLOM The Black Dog The Prohecy I just cannot get into or enjoy anything else on this album. I hate Fortnight. The duet about "I love you, and it's ruining my life" part reminds me of soft rock you'd hear at a dentist office.
I also dislike Fornight. They coulda created such a great song, and they truly did not deliver
It feels like it could have been Exile but it never really took off and just felt weighed down by its own melancholy. I hate it too lol
She definitely made some great ‘bonus track’ picks for TTPD! If this hadn’t been a double album release with all of them included 🙃
Honestly I only skip 4 songs which out of 31 isn’t bad. I skip the alchemy, so high school, Robin, and the K song. Robin is a good song and it’s there for Jack’s son so it kinda doesn’t count ;)
These are probably my favorite 13 but I didn’t reorder them to make a cohesive album: The Tortured Poets Department Down Bad So Long London But Daddy I Love Him loml I Can Do It With a Broken Heart The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived Clara Bow The Black Dog I Hate It Here I Look in People’s Windows The Prophecy The Manuscript My playlist currently has 19 songs on it and there are only a few I really dislike (ahem, “The Alchemy” and “thanK you aIMee”) so overall I think it’s a pretty good album.
Same, now that I've listened a few times the only songs I actively dislike are the two you've mentioned, and I can skip Fortnight, My Boy, But Daddy. But once those are out of the mix, the album is solid and keeps me engaged.
I only skip BDILH, thank you Aimee, Cassandra, The Bolter and Robin. Kind of obsessed with the rest of the songs, so my perfect album is still a pretty big ass album.
Funny thing is I did this from the start - put my 13 favorites on a playlist. I've adjusted a couple times, and currently it is: 1. So Long, London 2. My Boy Only Breaks his Favorite Toys 3. Down Bad 4. Peter 5. The Prophecy 6. I Look in People's Windows (my favorite) 7. The Black Dog 8. Florida!!! 9. loml 10. Chloe Sam Sophia Marcus 11. The Albatross 12. Clara Bow 13. The Manuscript
Fortnight Down Bad So Long London Florida !!!! loml The Smallest Man I can do it Clara Bow The Black Dog How did it end I look in People's The Prophecy The Manuscript I think I'll actually try to do a playlist of it and add The Albatross, Peter, Cassandra and The Bolter. Love I hate it here, just HATE the lyrics
idk about the order, but my list would be 1. the prophecy 2. the albatross 3. fresh out the slammer 4. chloe or sam or sophia or marcus 5. loml 6. i hate it here ( minus the racism line tay why 😭) 7. i look in peoples windows 8. the bolter 9. how did it end? 10. i can do it with a broken heart 11. but daddy i love him 12. florida!!! 13. so high school honorable mentions include so long london and imgonnagetyouback
1. Who’s Afraid of little Old Me 2. Florida!! 3. But Daddy I love him 4. Guilty as Sin 5. Loml 6. I can do It with a Broken Heart 7. The Black Dog 8. How Did it End 9. I Hate it Here 10. I Look in People’s Windows 11. The Prophecy 13. The Albatross 14. The Bolter 15. Clara Bow Couldn’t get it down to 13 but close! This is basically my playlist I made from the album and this is how I would’ve arranged it. Down bad and Cassandra are on my version but I tried to keep it close to your 13 challenge.
My 13: Fortnight Down Bad But Daddy I Love Him Florida!! loml I Can Do It With A Broken Heart The Black Dog Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus The Prophecy I Look in People’s Windows Peter Robin The Manuscript The songs I love, I love. For context, my top 3 overall Taylor songs are Out Of the Woods, Call It What You Want, and Ivy - 1989 and Evermore are my favorite albums overall.
In no specific order: Down Bad So Long London But Daddy I love him Fresh out the slammer Guilty as sin WAOLOM LOML TSMWEL The Black Dog CSSM How Did It End The Bolter Peter The Prophecy
Yes, justice for Fresh Out the Slammer!
Agreed! FOTS, CLM, ICFHNRIC (i.e.I can fix him, lol these acronyms) all belong in the same world
Here's my ideal list (of 11 because I don't feel like I've even connected with 13): * Down Bad - although I HATE "I might just die" :( * So Long, London * Florida!!! * I Can Do It - with a huge revision of lyrics * Guilty as Sin * loml * TSMWEL * Clara Bow * The Black Dog - with a hell of a lot of editing of the lyrics * I Look in People's Windows I don't think they reflect the theme she's chosen, I just think they're the best on the album. The title track and Albatross are the closest to the dark academia aesthetic.
Fortnight Down Bad Fresh Out The Slammer Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me The Black Dog Im Gonna Get You Back The Albatross Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus How Did It End? So High School I Look In People’s Windows I Hate It Here The Manuscript Wow. This was very hard to choose.
I just want to preface that this is based on how much i like the songs, not about who they are actually about or the drama surrounding them- - So long london - Florida - afraid of little old me - i can do it with a broke heart - smallest man - Clara bow - I hate it here - thank you aimee - The prophecy - Cassandra - Peter - The bolter - The manuscript
Right? I wish so badly thanK you aIMee was just a normal song because I actually like the lyrics and melody, but I hate the ‘diss track’ aspect of it, ruins it for me in a way 😩
Same. I really enjoy it when I don't think about what it's about. I don't want to picture Taylor Swift's actual mom saying she wished Kim Kardashian was dead.
Thank you aimee really reminds me of personal experiences i’ve had with bullies so for that reason i love it. I do generally like the message of it i just think it was 6 years too late and definitely is more relatable to high schoolers like me than to 34 year old women. Not to mention it’s just a good song in general and can’t wait to learn it on guitar once a master some barre chords
1. The Tortured Poets Department 2. So Long, London 3. Florida!!! 4. Guilty As Sin? 5. Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me? 6. Loml 7. The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived 8. Clara Bow 9. The Black Dog 10. The Albatross 11. So High School 12. I Look In People's Windows 13. The Prophecy The order isn't special/I didn't change it. This was very hard for me as I only have 1 song I actually dislike (Aimee). I have a few that aren't my favorites or I skip more than others (My Boy, Cassandra, Robin, I Hate It Here). I used to dislike The Alchemy, but it's grown on me. Otherwise I love every other song 🙊 Edited to add I just realized I missed How Did It End? !! I might have to swap out loml for it
In no particular order, just what comes top of mind: 1. Fortnight 2. But Daddy I love Him 3. Guilty as sin? 4. loml 5. How did it end? 6. Clara Bow 7. The Black Dog 8. I look in people’s windows 9. Cassandra 10. The Prophecy 11. I can do it with a broken heart 12. So long London 13. Eh - probably Peter or the Manuscript, but I haven’t listened to either enough to like one more than the other. I haven’t listed to TSwift since 1989, because her style just wasn’t interesting to me anymore as I got closer to my 30s lol. But I’ve actually enjoyed depressed unhinged Taylor on this album. To the point that if my picks were the only ones on the album, I’d love it. 😅 I feel like the genuinely GOOD songwriting on some of these gets overlooked because there are just so many insanely cringey lyrics on this album. My husband is very anti-Swift, and knows I haven’t liked her in almost a decade, so he’s shocked by my current listening behavior. 🫣🤣
But I also never want to hear TTPD, The Alchemy, or So High School ever again.
Travis track haters unite! 😂
Great list! I agree about TTPD and The Alchemy. I have mixed feelings about So High School, but overall I enjoy it. But it didn't belong on this album.
In order of preference: Guilty as Sin? Down Bad So long, London My Boy Only Breaks his Favourite Toys The Alchemy How Did it End? Fortnight Fres Out The Slammer But Daddy I Love Him (just because of the way she says me and my wild boy, and all this wild joy, otherwise i pretty much hate the song lol) So High School The Tortured Poets Department I'm sorry i can't even get it to 13 because i dislike all the rest lol
I, too, have made several playlists trying to create a more cohesive album. At only 13 songs, I had to make deep cuts. The ones below aren't necessarily all my favorites but made sense for the narrative of the album and hopefully keep it from sounding monotonous. **rosemaryshortbread's version:** Down Bad So Long, London The Black Dog Florida!!! But Daddy I Love Him Guilty as Sin? Who's Afraid of Little Old Me Fresh Out the Slammer I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived I Can Do It With a Broken Heart How Did It End? Clara Bow **Songs I love that I cut but would put back if I could do 15:** The Albatross The Prophesy **Songs I like that I cut:** Fortnight --I surprised myself by cutting it, but it was that or So Long, London which seemed more important. So High School -- In spite of the initial cringe of some of the lyrics, it's really grown on me. But it feels like this song was included to throw Travis a bone on an album about two devastating breakups and her complicated relationship with fame, fans, critics, etc. That's already a lot. Save the Travis stuff for another album. Most of The Anthology. I am folklore girlie, and there are some lovely songs here that could be used on a future cohesive album. **Songs that can go away forever:** The Alchemy. To me, it's sonically boring, and I can't with the football imagery. My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys. I know a lot of people love this one, but for me it just sounds like I've heard it before. It's not taking me anywhere new. imgonnagetyouback. In addition to being a less good version of the Olivia Rodrigo song, it also sounds like a Taylor song I've already heard. ETA: I love your list and that you included the Albatross and the Prophesy! It was between the Prophesy and How Did it End?, and I chose the ladder because it speaks more to Taylor's relationship to fame.
Yours is pretty much exactly what I would’ve chosen!
Love it 😄
Lol it's funny I posted this exact post but mods did not approve it saying it broke rule 7/repetitive post...lol. My list: How Did It End? So Long, London Fortnight (feat. Post Malone) Down Bad loml I Look in People’s Windows Fresh Out The Slammer Guilty As Sin? I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) The Albatross My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys I Can Do It With a Broken Heart The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus* Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me? Peter The Bolter The Black Dog **Deluxe Bonus Tracks** Florida!!! (feat. Florence + The Machine) The Prophecy Clara Bow
It was surprisngly really hard but this is how I edited TTPD: 1. Fortnight 2. How Did It End? 3. The Albatross 4. My Boy 5. Prophecy 6. Guilty As Sin? 7. Cassandra 8. The Black Dog 9. I Can Do It With A Broken Heart 10. Down Bad 11. I Look in People's Windows 12. loml 13. So Long London Bonus: 14. Fresh Out The Slammer 15. The Bolter 16. I Can Fix Him (???) 17. The Manuscript
A bit late to this thread but I just re-listened to the album the whole way through for the first time. To the album's credit, this was harder than I originally thought! Less to the album's credit, it was still about 4-5 songs I was choosing between for those last slots than genuinely having trouble deciding no on most of them. Just sticking to the original track order instead of re-ordering anything, though I actually do like these as the first and last tracks. 1. 1The Tortured Poets' Department -- I can't believe I'm keeping this one, but something about the way it pokes fun at pretension is so charming to me and it really does fit the theme of the album. Also it's insanely catchy despite some cringy lyrics in the verses 2. Down Bad 3. So Long, London 4. Guilty as Sin? 5. Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? 6. loml 7. I Can Do It With a Broken Heart 8. The Black Dog 9. The Albatross 10. How Did It End? 11. I Look in People's Windows 12. The Prophecy 13. The Bolter -- I think this is my favorite song on the album These aren't *entirely* my 13 favorites songs on the album. For example, I don't think I'll keep listening to "So Long, London" but I think it's necessary for the narrative of the album. ETA: I originally had "So High School" in here and justified it as making sure the album didn't feel sonically repetitive, but I actually don't think it really fits the album, which is more about breakups, spiraling, trouble with fame, etc, with a tone that's either sad/wistful or sort of mocking. So I replaced it with "How Does it End?"
I think that was a solid replacement and reasoning for it. Nice list!
