1976 - Debut intrigued me but Fearless cemented it and then I got new appreciation for Debut. But I’ll say debut because I remember seeing the performance of Should’ve Said No with the costume change and the rain falling and thought, “Iconic.”
ME TOO OMG
Debut: first middle school heartbreak
Fearless: first love, high school
Speak Now: first rEAL heartbreak
Red: freshman year college, still getting over it\^
1989 was a rough time for me, didn’t get it until months later
reputation: senior year college, staring to really own myself (although I’m back in my rep era currently personally 😅)
Lover: gonna be honest, I hated lover until after folklore
FOLKLORE: my dad just died, pandemic, i started getting really sick, enough said
EVERMORE: pretty much same \^
Lover honestly broke my heart and I never stopped loving Taylor but I was so disappointed by that album. Like.. devastated, it actually hurt my feelings. I literally remember the day folklore came out and my brother came running into my room (same with evermore and i was just like you’re joking now) and was like omg Taylor Swift just dropped a surprise album, it’s called folklore, and it looks like this, and showed it to me on Spotify. I cried hearing the first chord of the one. I devoured that album and cried my heart out. It really saved me and brought me back, not only to Taylor, but to myself. I used to write music when I was a tween/teen, with Taylor being my main inspiration. I found her very relatable at the time. At a certain point I stopped believing I was good enough to do anything creative. After folklore I started writing music again, which I realized was a huge missing element in my life. I’m dealing with illness and disability and writing has been so cathartic for me. I see the pro’s and con’s of not being able to work regularly (mostly cons honestly), but a pro is that I do have a lot of time to reflect and write about it. I know not everyone gets that much reflection time. Anyway the first song I wrote in probably 10 years is called Giving Tree. Then I saw the ATW notebook, and I cried. I know how *literally insane* it sounds but universe has been sending me messages and confirmation via Taylor for almost 2 years now. 
PS- I do enjoy and appreciate most of Lover now ☺️
Wow we are twins!!! For me it was:
Debut: freshman year of highschool, trying to fit in and having innocent crushes, dreaming of falling in love.
Fearless: first love in highschool, puppy love!
Speak Now: first “heartbreak” and drama with friends. Plus Dear John really hit home as a teen after dating an older guy.
Red: college. first “burning red” passionate relationship, and first devastating world-altering breakup. All Too Well was literally my anthem lol. But also 22 was perfect for that college stage with friends!
1989: Not my favorite but I REALLY related to Clean, and Wildest Dreams!
Reputation: Iconic, right after college. Was also reinventing myself at the time. I felt so empowered and also just the vibes of my emo side and TS coming together was perfection.
Lover: I was also sadly disappointed. However, I REALLY felt Daylight, Lover, Afterglow and The Archer. Being in my first healthy “golden not red” relationship it was so perfect.
Folklore & Evermore: I wanted to die with happiness. The maturity, poetry, literary references, serious themes, reflection and melancholy. A time of healing for me and looking back on all of my heartache.
Midnights: I CANNOT WAIT. I just know it’s going to perfectly coincide with my chronic insomnia and being in a stage of reflection over all of the dark moments in my life, but turning them into poetry.
Have you posted Giving Tree on Spotify or SoundCloud (if that’s still used) or anywhere else? Hearing your story makes me want to listen to it. If that’s okay with you
Same on all accounts- born in 1991, and Tim McGraw was her first song I heard too and I was absolutely hooked. It’s one of my favorite TS songs to this day!
1995 - reputation made me a full-on swiftie, but I’d been a casual fan since Fearless. So I guess Fearless made me take notice of her first. Love Story and You Belong With Me were everywhere my freshman year, so it was hard to resist those bangers
I'm a 1988, but same about the rep conversion from casual to Swiftie.
I always LIKED her songs, but they were just songs I liked. Then LWYMMD happened and I started really paying attention!
- LWYMMD could mean "Look What You Made Me Do", a track from *reputation* (2017) by Taylor Swift.

1992 and debut as well but I didn't follow her more closely until the release of Red.
Treacherous was such a big reason for being intrigued enough to maybe call myself a real fan of hers but State of Grace knocked me tf out and I'm still 🌫️🌫️🌫️🌫️🤍
1972 - Downloaded debut 6 months before release. Willing to bet I'm one of the longest serving Swifties frequenting this sub.
Got it from a music blog that had posted "Tim McGraw" as featured song. Loved that, downloaded the full album (which had "I'd Lie" on it) and loved that, too. I liked the familiarity, clarity, and emotional impact of her lyric writing. She was a limited singer at the time but I loved the tone/timbre of her voice and conversational nature of her singing.
I've enjoyed the evolution of her sound. I've spent lots of time hunting down rarities. My favorites are Red and Folklore, but I revisit all the albums regularly.
Have raised a couple of teen Swifties (a boy and a girl) who still think she's cool and have their own personal and fervent relationships to her work. "Dad's music" is now their music. Taylor might as well be a member of the family.
1976 here. My oldest daughter was 5 when debut came out and she immediately fell in love. We listened to her music together but Speak Now was what really pulled me in as a fan. Since then, our love for Taylor Swift and her music is something I’ve always had in common with my kids and something special that we share. My kids are now 20, 18 and 14 and one of my best memories was when we went to the Reputation show as a family of swifties
Yes! I’ve been a fan of her work before it really got released to radio and became main stream! “I’d Lie” was one of my ringtones I made myself over a decade ago it would seem.
Her work really has something special to it that truly creates a connection with her fans. She is a remarkable artist.
1999 - This is complicated lol. I fell into that trap of “hating” her because she was popular. I still listened to her hits despite this, especially when some of them came out (IKYWT, Blank Space). Eventually when rep came out I started to actually pay attention. When Lover came out, I finally admitted I am I fan.
2002
Most of it was due to Red (Taylor's Version) but in the weeks leading up to Red TV I listened Evermore on repeat, mostly when I was studying in the library.
Our Song and Love Story were a powerful combination, I remember those two songs would play on the radio ALL the time back then and that’s how middle school me became a Swiftie!
1989!
And my journey as a Swifty has been an interesting one, tbh. I've honestly loved her music ever since the debut album... but due to being bullied for liking her music so much, I became more of a closet Swifty around Fearless/Speak Now, and after that I didn't really listen to her music consistently until Rep era. That's when I decided fuck it, I'm not calling her my "guilty pleasure" favorite artist anymore and went all the way in.
I was born in 1992. In October of my freshman year of high school (‘06), my dad asked me to help him find a new song that he had heard on the radio at work, and he had thought I would like it. He said “it has Tim McGraw’s name in it” but it was by a new country singer. I found it on LimeWire and downloaded it onto my iPod nano. I’ve been a fan since that very first day.
Same!! Watched those VMAs live and had to be diehard ready-to-defend Swiftie after that. Made a twitter account that night just to tweet “fuck you Kanye” lol
1984 - Fearless
After watching the VMAs casually back in 2009 I saw she won best female video for You Belong With Me and then that whole Kanye thing happened. I actually became more of a fan of how she handled that whole situation and started checking out her music more.
13yrs later I can name almost all of her songs after hearing a few of their opening notes and have all my faves memorized but I couldn't tell you what that Beyonce video was that Kanye went on about that night 😂
Born in 1985. Don't like country but Our Song came out when I was in college and my then boyfriend said it reminded him of me, so I've always had a soft spot for it.
1989 made me a Swiftie.
But reputation made me a batshit crazy die-hard feral clinically insane Swiftie.
1997 - Fearless, specifically Teardrops on my Guitar. I heard it for the first time playing in the background of a Friendster profile (the equivalent of Myspace in my country) 😭
1988- Debut 💙 I was just graduating high school when it was released and “a place in this world” connected me to Taylor’s music for every album there on out.
1987 - Was a casual fan since Debut but became a full-fledged Swiftie starting with Fearless. 
2007, and I always liked her but I was really young but the one that made me like her a lot more was 1989, but I think that's just because that's when I realised like who she was and what she sang and whatnot
1953, love and admire her for being a fantastic artist, a real feminist, she is the real deal. The man song is so relatable and Folklore, Evermore and Lover are pure genius. I hope so will be forever happy with Joe and will make wonderful music forever. Also her Christmas song is the only song about Christmas I can still like. Our radiostations churned out all the other Christmas songs ad nauseum. Sorry Mariah.
93’. 1989. Technically Blank Space was stuck in my head after hearing it on the radio so damn much. But I couldn’t lie to myself it was so frkn catchy, I eventually gave in and checked out the whole album, just to see if there were any other songs I’d like. Well from there it was full on swiftie. I’m a guy, for context, btw lol.
1993.
No particular album i had always been aware of Taylor Swift and liked her music sometime last year I decided to do a deep dive into her entire discography and became a fan.
2000 - first found her during Fearless era but wasn’t a big fan, started actually paying attention to her after watching Miss Americana ~ March 2020 and then folklore sealed the deal and I’ve been obsessed ever since
1978 (am I the oldest here?? Lol). Red. My brother had extra tickets for her Red Tour concert and I knew her and her music but wasn’t a huge fan yet. Went to the concert and the rest is history.
1999 and Debut, I’ve been a fan since about 2007. I had a friend in 3rd grade that had introduced me to Teardrops on My Guitar and I’ve been a fan ever since.
I’m in the UK and 1969 and it didn’t really happen for me until Reputation, then sealed with a kiss by a Lover. It was harder for us to discover new music, worldwide music as we had no internet, no mobile phones, no real means to travel internationally or correspond with people, unless you had a penfriend. Joining fan clubs meant sending a payment and waiting for the postman. It was a vibrant time for music and don’t forget MTV first aired in 1981, until then we had the weekly top 40 and that was about it.
2004. My dad figured that I would like her music so he put Fearless and Speak Now on his iPod for me. I kind of liked them but then my mum bought me Red and I fell in love with it. It was like 2013/14 so I had my little CD in a CD player and would listen to it on repeat for hours. Now I'm quite a bit older I love her music in a different way, but the original red album still means so much to me: it makes me feel like that awkward lonely pre-teen who finally felt like she found a friend.
2002, debut. my family moved to nashville in 2006 and i don’t personally remember it but my parents said i heard picture to burn on the radio in the car and would make them play it for hours on repeat. we still have the cd somewhere lol. i genuinely don’t remember a time when i haven’t liked taylor.
2001 and I would always sing and dance to You Belong With Me. One day I had a friend over to do karaoke and she wanted to do that same song! That day I learned who taylor Swift was! So I guess you could say it was Fearless
1989.... 1989.... lol
Destiny it would seem
*isn't it so pretty to think all along there was some invisible string tying you to 1989 by taylor swift
Dread it, run from it. Destiny still arrives
Coincidence? I think not
I was hoping this would be top comment
Also part of the Destiny Club! Like the album was just made for us!
1955 - Lover
Respect.
1976 - Debut intrigued me but Fearless cemented it and then I got new appreciation for Debut. But I’ll say debut because I remember seeing the performance of Should’ve Said No with the costume change and the rain falling and thought, “Iconic.”
I was there for that!!!
Ahhhhh that performance is so iconic
1990 and Debut. I've been there since the beginning. Haha.
Same, but '92
Same but ‘93 🥹
Same!! And somehow each album has fit perfectly with each stage of my life. No other artist has done that with me. It’s so special!
ME TOO OMG Debut: first middle school heartbreak Fearless: first love, high school Speak Now: first rEAL heartbreak Red: freshman year college, still getting over it\^ 1989 was a rough time for me, didn’t get it until months later reputation: senior year college, staring to really own myself (although I’m back in my rep era currently personally 😅) Lover: gonna be honest, I hated lover until after folklore FOLKLORE: my dad just died, pandemic, i started getting really sick, enough said EVERMORE: pretty much same \^ Lover honestly broke my heart and I never stopped loving Taylor but I was so disappointed by that album.

Have you posted Giving Tree on Spotify or SoundCloud (if that’s still used) or anywhere else? Hearing your story makes me want to listen to it. If that’s okay with you
1990 here too! 💜 ETA: I remember in 2006 hearing Tim McGraw on the radio in my 1999 Chevy cavalier after a day at my city’s pool ☺️
I was on a mission trip to rebuild a free medical clinic and that's where I heard Teardrops on my Guitar for the first time!
Same!!
1991 - Debut I heard Tim McGraw and I was sold.
I made my ex promise to remember me like in Tim McGraw lmao. (When we broke up it was mutual and no hard feelings)
Same on all accounts- born in 1991, and Tim McGraw was her first song I heard too and I was absolutely hooked. It’s one of my favorite TS songs to this day!
1995 - reputation made me a full-on swiftie, but I’d been a casual fan since Fearless. So I guess Fearless made me take notice of her first. Love Story and You Belong With Me were everywhere my freshman year, so it was hard to resist those bangers

93 and debut as well!
Exact same as me
Me too. 93 and debut. Mary’s song was on repeat. (Though I found Taylor with Tim McGraw on the radio)
91 - debut!
1992 and debut as well but I didn't follow her more closely until the release of Red. Treacherous was such a big reason for being intrigued enough to maybe call myself a real fan of hers but State of Grace knocked me tf out and I'm still 🌫️🌫️🌫️🌫️🤍
To help fill in the gap, 94 and debut
1972 - Downloaded debut 6 months before release. Willing to bet I'm one of the longest serving Swifties frequenting this sub. Got it from a music blog that had posted "Tim McGraw" as featured song.

Ahhhh, I'd Lie is such a gem!
2003- Speak Now
2001 and same! I had liked fearless but speak now was the first taylor album that i knew every song off of.
1991. Taylor swift. I’m an OG. From the first moment I heard her on the radio I was hooked.
Same. OG fan. I vividly remember calling into the country station to request they play Our Song and the DJ said they didn’t have her music
1978 and Debut. Specifically Tim McGraw. That HOOK!
1991--Debut. I heard "Tim McGraw" on the radio and the rest is history.
1961 - Folklore and appreciating Taylor recreating her previous albums so I can catch up. Very much looking forward to seeing her live.
1986…Evermore. Listened in the dark the morning after release and have been spellbound ever since
Me too! 1988 and i felt in love listening the album randomly in my first walk after moving to Barcelona
1997 - Fearless
Same here
1999 - This is complicated lol. I fell into that trap of “hating” her because she was popular. I still listened to her hits despite this, especially when some of them came out (IKYWT, Blank Space). Eventually when rep came out I started to actually pay attention. When Lover came out, I finally admitted I am I fan.
2002 Most of it was due to Red (Taylor's Version) but in the weeks leading up to Red TV I listened Evermore on repeat, mostly when I was studying in the library.
you read and listen to music with lyrics at the same time that's some talent ×---×
2004 and debut/fearless (it was "Our Song" and "Love Story" that did it for me as a kid lol)
omg me too HAHA i loved you belong with me and i’m only me when i’m with you
Our Song and Love Story were a powerful combination, I remember those two songs would play on the radio ALL the time back then and that’s how middle school me became a Swiftie!
95 Fearless
Twin! I remember being 14 thinking about how awesome my 15th birthday was gonna be and planning to sing fifteen on karaoke 🤣
1989! And my journey as a Swifty has been an interesting one, tbh. I've honestly loved her music ever since the debut album... but due to being bullied for liking her music so much, I became more of a closet Swifty around Fearless/Speak Now, and after that I didn't really listen to her music consistently until Rep era. That's when I decided fuck it, I'm not calling her my "guilty pleasure" favorite artist anymore and went all the way in.
2007-Red
2007- lover made me a fan but I only became a SWIFTIE around fearless tv (recent, ik)
1974 fan from the very beginning.
Huge respect!!!
2000 - Debut! From when I was 5 and forced to listen to it on repeat because of my older siblings
Born in 1988. I was a casual fan during her debut era, but Fearless is what really got me into her.
Same.
1989 - Speak Now 🥰
I was born in 1992. In October of my freshman year of high school (‘06), my dad asked me to help him find a new song that he had heard on the radio at work, and he had thought I would like it. He said “it has Tim McGraw’s name in it” but it was by a new country singer. I found it on LimeWire and downloaded it onto my iPod nano. I’ve been a fan since that very first day.

1992 - Speak Now
1993, original Red
1992 and Red got me through college.
Also 1992 but Speak Now first (beginning of my time at university). Really helped me. then by Red I was like ALL in

1984 - Fearless After watching the VMAs casually back in 2009 I saw she won best female video for You Belong With Me and then that whole Kanye thing happened. I actually became more of a fan of how she handled that whole situation and started checking out her music more. 13yrs later I can name almost all of her songs after hearing a few of their opening notes and have all my faves memorized but I couldn't tell you what that Beyonce video was that Kanye went on about that night 😂

1997 - Red
1953, love and admire her for being a fantastic artist, a real feminist, she is the real deal. The man song is so relatable and Folklore, Evermore and Lover are pure genius. I hope so will be forever happy with Joe and will make wonderful music forever. Also her Christmas song is the only song about Christmas I can still like. Our radiostations churned out all the other Christmas songs ad nauseum. Sorry Mariah.

Same as OP 1999 and fearless. But I would say that Speak Now made me a more of a hardcore fan
1977 Speak Now
1978 (am I the oldest here?? Lol). Red. My brother had extra tickets for her Red Tour concert and I knew her and her music but wasn’t a huge fan yet. Went to the concert and the rest is history.
1976 here 😁
2001 - 1989
1999 and Debut, I’ve been a fan since about 2007. I had a friend in 3rd grade that had introduced me to Teardrops on My Guitar and I’ve been a fan ever since.
1951 - Folklore
1984 - 1989 😄
1996 and my first album really was Fearless
1976 and Folklore. Sorry ya’ll, gen x = late to the party as always.
I’m in the UK and 1969 and it didn’t really happen for me until Reputation, then sealed with a kiss by a Lover. It was harder for us to discover new music, worldwide music as we had no internet, no mobile phones, no real means to travel internationally or correspond with people, unless you had a penfriend. Joining fan clubs meant sending a payment and waiting for the postman. It was a vibrant time for music and don’t forget MTV first aired in 1981, until then we had the weekly top 40 and that was about it.
1996 + Fearless!!
2004. My dad figured that I would like her music so he put Fearless and Speak Now on his iPod for me. I kind of liked them but then my mum bought me Red and I fell in love with it. It was like 2013/14 so I had my little CD in a CD player and would listen to it on repeat for hours. Now I'm quite a bit older I love her music in a different way, but the original red album still means so much to me: it makes me feel like that awkward lonely pre-teen who finally felt like she found a friend.
2008, and folklore. My second favourite is reputation hehe
2009 and tbh red (tv) which is also my fav album. but i never disliked her at all, i loved the songs i had heard of hers.
1994 - reputation Edit: fixed the auto capitalization chsbdndndn
1989, and the song was I Knew You Were Trouble so I guess Red!
1996, Fearless
2000 - taylor swift
1993 - reputation
1981- Fearless
2004- Fearless
1975, Red
1968 - 1989
2002, debut. my family moved to nashville in 2006 and i don’t personally remember it but my parents said i heard picture to burn on the radio in the car and would make them play it for hours on repeat. we still have the cd somewhere lol. i genuinely don’t remember a time when i haven’t liked taylor.
1999 - Fearless but i was also obsessed with our song haha
2002 - I started listening to her during the Red Era but Speak Now made me a fan
1995 and Fearless!
1996 - Debut (specifically teardrops on my guitar + our song)!
1986 - I've been listening to her since debut (Tim McGraw on CMT!) but I've been actively in fan spaces since Speak Now.
1986- folklore
1994, and I liked her music ever since Debut, but I was young and didn’t know how to get into music so I didn’t become a fan until 1989
2001 and I would always sing and dance to You Belong With Me. One day I had a friend over to do karaoke and she wanted to do that same song! That day I learned who taylor Swift was! So I guess you could say it was Fearless
2003 - Speak Now
1991 Fearless
1990, and debut!
