Taylor Swift's quiz runs through ten albums, from her 2006 debut to Midnights in 2022. That catalogue made her the IFPI's Global Recording Artist of the Year six times and carried the Eras Tour to $2.08 billion over 149 shows, the highest gross of any tour. For a quiz, the challenge is breadth. No album supplies more than five of the 29 songs, so a game can move from Fearless to 1989 to folklore inside three rounds. 1989 contributes the most, five songs. Her first three albums, from the debut to Speak Now, contribute nine between them, and those are the songs most likely to separate long-time fans from people who arrived later. Some of her older songs also appear in the catalogue as re-recordings, which is why a song from 2008 can turn up in the 2020s pool. The albums are listed below in order, each with a note.

Taylor Swift quiz questions
Which song pool should I pick for a Taylor Swift quiz?
Of the 29 songs listed here, 17 carry 2010s release dates, eight 2020s and four 2000s. Several of her albums have been re-recorded, and a re-recording carries its own date, so an older song can turn up in the 2020s pool. Top Hits or All-Time Catalog gives the fairest spread.
Does the quiz play the original or Taylor's Version?
Whichever version the catalogue ranks first for that title. The game treats the original and the re-recording as one song, so the four options never offer two versions of the same title, and naming the song is all that counts.
Are songs from her newest albums in the quiz?
This page's list stops at Midnights, but the game draws from her live catalogue, so songs from later albums such as THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT and The Life of a Showgirl can come up in Top Hits and All-Time games.
What makes Taylor Swift hard to guess in five seconds?
With this many eras, place the clip before you name it. The production usually gives the era away within a second or two, and once you have the era only a few titles remain to choose between.
