One of Taylor Swift's favorite colors? Red. I went through every Taylor Swift song and feature and found all of her "red" lyrics!
Trigger warning: opinion may differ from your own, and that's okay!
After combing through Taylor Swift's entire discography, I found all of her lyrics that mentioned the color red (I think... don't tell me if I forgot one because I will spiral) and ranked them from my most to least favorite by song!
Disclaimer: I don't dislike any of these lyrics, but some just rise above the rest for me.
#15: "Fifteen" (Fearless)
You sit in class to a redhead named Abigail.
Taylor's best friend is Abigail. My full name is Abigail. Taylor's Abigail has red hair. My hair is currently red.
...Am I Taylor Swift's best friend?!
No. But a girl can dream!

Their hands are stained with red.

Here's the truth from my red lips.

Red lips and rosy cheeks, say you'll see me again even if it's just in your wildest dreams.
#10: "Look What You Made Me Do" (Reputation)
I've got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined.
#9: "All Too Well" (Red)
You almost ran the red 'cause you were looking over at me.
Photo album on the counter, your cheeks were turning red.

It was like slow motion, standing there in my party dress in red lipstick with no one to impress.

Loving him was red.
Burning, it was red.
Comes back to me burning red.

I once believed love would be burning red but it's golden.

A red rose grew up out of ice-frozen ground with no one around to Tweet it.
