Sad Songs by Western Female Artists: Popular Song Rankings [2026] (21–30)
We Are Never Ever Getting Back TogetherTaylor Swift29rank/position

Taylor Swift’s smash hit “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.” If you don’t know the lyrics, it might seem bright and poppy, but it’s actually a seriously savage breakup song! The title basically translates to something like, “There’s absolutely no way we’re getting back together.” The catchy melody almost makes it even scarier, right? (lol) It’s a great recommendation for anyone who’s feeling refreshed after breaking up with a boyfriend.
Definitely give it a listen!
White HorseTaylor Swift30rank/position

If you ask young Americans today for a sad song, I’m sure this one would be the most popular.
Taylor Swift’s songs are all wonderful, but I used to think they were a bit too bright and poppy.
However, this song beautifully conveys sadness.
