[2026] Taylor Swift’s Best and Most Popular Songs: A Guide for Beginners

White HorseTaylor Swift

Taylor Swift – White Horse

Many of you may be able to guess from the title.

It’s a song about a prince on a white horse.

But reality is harsh, and a real prince on a white horse isn’t going to come and whisk you away.

Still, because we’re girls, we end up dreaming and hoping for that kind of love, don’t we? It’s a song I want people struggling with the gap between dreams and reality to listen to.

The vibe of the song is also very cute and soothing.

Is It Over Now?Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift – Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) (From The Vault) (Lyric Video)

The world-renowned songstress Taylor Swift.

Let me introduce “Is It Over Now?” from her album 1989.

It’s a mid-tempo ballad that portrays a breakup from a woman’s perspective.

While she harbors resentment toward her lover, it’s clear she hasn’t completely cut off her feelings.

That emotional complexity is heart-wrenching.

By the way, a self-cover version, “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version),” has also been released.
