Taylor Swift fan favorite fictional album challenge (#tsfanfavealbum)

In December 2023, I took my top 13 favorite songs (according to the @jesseepinkman song sorter) and rearranged them into a fictional concept album. It was so much fun that I’m making it a yearly tradition for me, and wanted to share the steps here so others can participate.

You can do this challenge at any time of the year! Here’s how it works:

1. Complete jesseepinkman’s full song sorter to get your top 13 favorite tracks.

2. Pretend your top 13 ranked songs are on a new TS album. Put them in a sensible order.

Some guiding questions:

  • What makes the most sense for a track 5?
  • What would be a strong opening or closing track?
  • How does the album flow from one song to the next?

3. Consider the themes in these songs and determine an album title!

4. Write a prologue if you like. (I had the most fun doing this part.)

5. Go a step further and create a deluxe edition. Look at your top 20 ranked songs and pick three others outside of your top 13 to be bonus tracks.

6. Create album art, playlists, or both and post it! Please be sure to tag me (@plainsimpletaylor) or the challenge hashtag (#tsfanfavealbum) so I can see and share your creations!!

Here’s mine from December 2023. Introducing: Almost.

Julian tells Miles he should give his wife a present and immediately suggests the exact same gift that he and Garak famously give each other, which could mean nothing

Also the fact that they act like Julian sharing books with Ezri = omg romance. Ahem ahem. I wonder who was Julian sharing books with for YEARS before that? Oh yeah; GARAK. Hmmmm I wonder what that means 😌

And! Another Cardassian literally tells Miles that arguing is a sign of flirting in their culture. Who was Garak willingly arguing with for years

ranking taylor's songs is always hard for me bc there's the songs that I think are objectively Her Best, then there's the ones I listen to the most, then there's the ones I cry over, then there's the songs I dance to, then there's the songs I have intricate internal universes I imagine as they play, then there's the songs that just bring a smile to my face, then there's the songs that-
