According to Metacritic Lover is the best reviewed (79 metascore) followed by Red and Speak Now (77) and Speak Now has the highest user score (8.5) followed by Lover (8.4)

Red and Speak Now have more of a country feel so if that's not your jam makes sense you wouldn't like it as much

Everything from Red on has very much been my jam, but Lover specifically has gotten to me the most. It's very open and the unapologetic romanticism of it is so nicely refreshing, I like having an album that feels intensely personal.

The sweet sentimentality of "It's Nice to Have a Friend" and "Daylight", the heartrending emotional rawness of "Soon You'll Get Better", and the scorching shade of "I Forgot That You Existed" are all so dang good.

1989 no question. Its a classic. However I think Lover genuinely comes close to topping it.

1989 is one the best pop albums of all time. Period.

After that, it's a tie between Red and Lover for me.

Then her old stuff and then Reputation

Red, Lover, and Speak Now.

I am really looking forward to her new recordings of 1989 with her new label, I think they already have great production and strong melodies but her vocals have improved a ton since then and would only benefit the album.

If we're talking full album then it has to be 1989. Can't think of a single song I didn't like and the singles are great.

Speak Now has my vote. Enchanted and Mean are two of the best songs of the last decade and they're both in the same album. And that album also has Last Kiss, Dear John, Mine, and Ours (on the deluxe edition). 1989 is also great. Style, in particular, is incredible. I Wish You Would is the best 80s song made outside the 80s. Lover is wonderful. Cruel Summer thumps. I need some great recordings of that song live this summer since sheynot coming anywhere near me. Those are probably my top three.

How You Get The Girl and All You Had To Do Was Stay are great though.

How You Get The Girl is so underrated. I love that song. It was amazing in concert too.

All Too Well may be my favorite song ever, so Red is a strong contender for me. Looking at the track list, there is some forgettable stuff on there though. I think that's a product of just how big an album it is though, you're going to get some filler. 1989 has some real highs with Blank Space, Style, New Romantics, and Clean... buuuuut it also has Welcome to New York, Shake it Off, and Bad Blood. All Too Well may be the best song she's ever written and Bad Blood may be the worst.

1989 has the only song of her I legit like and it's Style. Don't get why that song isn't her most played one instead of terrible shit like shake it off lmao.

Crossroads was a lot of fun. Taylor attacks the Def Leppard songs with glee.

1989. Couldn't get into reputation and I haven't really listened to lover as the singles are bad imo.
