Red (Taylor’s Version)
Red (TV), released in Nov. 2021, holds the best dancing songs. Gary Lightbody, Ed Sheeran, Phoebe Bridgers and Chris Stapleton feature tracks in Red (TV). The goat screaming during I Knew You Were Trouble is reminiscent of childhood. The Lucky One song that earned Red (TV) the number six seat is All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault) (Sad Girl Autumn Version) (Recorded at Long Pond Studios).

Fearless (Taylor’s Version)
Fearless (TV), the first album rerecorded by Taylor Swift to take the rights back from Scooter Braun, features artists Colbie Caillat, Maren Morris, and Keith Urban.

Debut 
Debut, also known as Taylor Swift, released Oct. 24, 2006. Like Fearless (TV), Debut holds karaoke songs with lyrics you’ll never forget. The perfect bonding activity consists of screaming Picture to Burn or Our Song at the top of your lungs. Tim McGraw and Should’ve Said No get honorable mentions as top songs of the album.
