we all know the drill at this point. i will rank the things, i will ask you to fight me about the things in the comments. let's do this.

i ranked this without looking at my original track ranking, so there will almost certainly be discrepancies. not only does my taste for certain songs tend to shift (there are some that remain at the top no matter what, but the middle-bottom tends to see a lot of movement), but there are some tracks that i think i just like better on this rerecording than i did on the og. i'll copy my previous ranking here for comparison purposes, and try to explain why shit's in different places now.

fearless (taylor's version) ranking

14. you belong with me
13. love story
12. we were happy
11. bye bye baby
10. fearless (i don't necessarily like this less now, but certain songs that just didn't have the full vocal strength they needed on the og have it now and they jumped past fearless because of it)
9. tell me why
8. forever and always (piano)
7. breathe
6. the other side of the door (idk how i forgot how fucking hard the end of this song goes, it earned its huge jump)

4. white horse
3. you’re not sorry
2. the way i loved you
1. forever and always (iconic. will never not be.)
