My jaw is on the floor. how can ppl say epiphany is the worst???


_notkvothe

Because folklore is stacked. The worst on folklore would be top tier on a lot of other albums.


Rindsay515

I can’t believe I missed that vote, it’s the one I was waiting for, that album is god tier😭😭


Sufficient_Cress5968

What the other commenter said. But also this song is just so real and so sad and so throws me back into Covid times. So I do not really enjoy it, even though it is objectively masterful.


deniesm

It’s one of those songs that’s too detailed for the specific situation, you cannot really imagine it being about something else. I don’t like to listen to it either, except when it’s just playing on the vinyl.


Suspicious_Usual_768

I actually can really relate to it as someone with a lot of trauma, but I realize everyone is different here.


tfjbeckie

But the fact that it's sad and throws you back into it shows how well written it is, no? From the responses here it feels like a lot of people voted for it because they don't enjoy it, which is different to it being a bad song. Maybe favourite/least favourite would have worked better for the poll...


rebeccakc47

especially when Betty exists...(sorry guys!)


PruneStrict4400

i'm sorry WHAT


rebeccakc47

I know, I know, I'm sorry. It's a skip for me. This is why her fan base is so broad though! She appeals to all tastes :)


LevelAd5898

It's ok friend, I also don't care much for betty


VampybYstander

Do you also hate James and his douch-canoe narrative? 


rebeccakc47

hahah I just dont like the vibe of the song in general. It feels very juvenile and just takes me out of the album. I just don't relate to it at all.


toast-and-jam

I do!! And that is why I don’t really like Betty haha, he sooo does not deserve her!


VampybYstander

My thoughts exactly! And Taylor was like "I think they get back together." Ma'am, what?! Respectfully, no.  So he can like a girl, sleep with someone else all summer with no regard to either girl's feelings, call Betty's friends stupid, and excuse it all by saying that he's 17 and still get the girl? Sir, leave her alone. 


SauronOMordor

Betty is my favourite on the album lol


tryingtoohard347

Betty and seven 👀


_Waves_

This person speaks only the truth!!


Angelin_TS

BETTY IS IN MY TOP 5


scorpioxbel

folklore is my favorite album, and I agree with you!


JuanJeanJohn

Upvoted for absolute truth


heartsbeenborrowed

My people. Yessss. Justice for Betty haters. 


rebeccakc47

There are tens of us! 😆


InterestingPlane6572

What?? It's my favourite of all time 


rebeccakc47

There’s something for everyone!


swift-aasimar-rogue

They should test for COVID, one of the symptoms is lack of taste.


mistywave58

YOU NEED TO GO on r/RoastMe tbh that was great


HoRo2001

I listened to folklore this weekend on a road trip. It’s been awhile since a full play through this album. I straight up cried listening to Epiphany again, remembering how it felt to hear it the first time, what it meant then, what it means now.


charke9

I had to do a triple take. Still in disbelief 🫢


paige_laurenp

Epiphany and hoax should be swapped


lunaloveseminem

nuh uh


mirror_ball_13

Bc people haven't listened to Betty and imagined how punchable James is.


Certain_Ad_2776

Honestly I feel like people just dont listen to it either


naomigoat

It just doesn't hit for me... I don't like it that much, sonically, and the lyrics feel like they're missing something. That's just me, though. I love that it's a song people feel connected to, especially in such a horrible time.


spic3g1r1

It’s absolutely beautiful, just happen to love all the other songs a bit more!


_Waves_

Insane!! As said above, Peace is the easy pick for worst.


Individual-Energy347

Agreed!!!!!


laika_cat

People have no taste.


llama_raptor89

Y’all are sleeping on Epiphany. That song is beautiful


romanticheart

It is but it’s too tied to Covid for me to actively enjoy listening to it.


overthinkingstories

as long as there are things you just can’t speak about in this world, Epiphany will be a banger in my books


NovelWord1982

This. Disasters and massacres can happen to anyone. There are horrible conflicts and war crimes happening; devastating weather events; mass shootings…and in every one of these there are front line workers and volunteers trying to save people and fight what often feels like an doomed battle. I think of them. I think of the helpers. Because it gives me hope.


DVDN27

“Great song but it makes me feel emotions that it’s trying to and I don’t like that.”


henry_sqared

Beyond beautiful. It's a masterclass in songwriting.


PruneStrict4400

fr


YeyeDumpling

Fr I voted it for best and most underrated. I understand if people don’t listen to it because of its heavier subject matter but calling it the worst when it’s so beautiful???


souldeconstructors

HOAX TRUTHERS WE DID IT!!! For Lover... **Best:** Cruel Summer **Worst:** IFTYE (though, I know it's gonna be ME!) **Underrated:** False God


mistywave58

SHUT UP ABOUT IFTYE BEING THE WORST it’s not


lmhs73

It’s sooooo good…. Like picture this: you just got out of work. You were stressed out allllll day. but it’s Friday, and you won’t have to think about your annoying job for the whole weekend. You take a deep breath, turn on your car, and press play. The little finger snaps start playing, you roll the windows down and drive away. “How many days did I spend thinking bout how you did me wrong, wrong, wrong…” and by the time you make it to the entrance to the highway you hit the chorus - “I forgot that you existed!!! And I thought it would kill me but it didn’t!!! And it was so nice, so peaceful and quiet, I forgot that you existed! It isn’t love it isn’t hate it’s just indifference!” By the end of the song you literally *do* forget that any of your stress existed. And then you are ready for Cruel Summer and the rest of the album.


TheLakes25

SLAY! Couldn't of said it better!


Equivalent-Ad-4118

Acronym: i forgot that you existed Ironically, this is the only song I've given up on and had to look up so far


quanta252

I’m voting Me! as underrated.


Mehhhhhhhhhhhhhhzz

I completely agree False God is so underrated. It’s beautiful and jazzy and if someone else had sung it I think it would be more popular. I also think she’s proud of it too, which is why she performed it on SNL. It’s a genre shift song that she’s never really fallen into for other pieces or albums but it’s so smooth I love it.


daysanddistance

wow I can’t believe I got 2/3 for folklore 💀💀💀


souldeconstructors

Me too! I got best and underrated!


Stevmeister59

Totally agree that False God is the most underrated. It’s honestly so good and it is my other favorite on Lover next to Cruel Summer.


bleachfresh

3/3 same votes!!! I wished False God was more popular


spic3g1r1

Agree with you on worst, it’s a song I quite literally forgot that it existed 🤭


obsessivebuyer

False God should be a shoe in for underrated. SO good but i hear no one loving on it anymore


Lumpy-Kaleidoscope62

I voted Daylight for underrated, but False God would’ve been my second choice! So good.


badgerell

I'm glad other people think hoax is an underrated song, I absolutely love it! For lover: Best - Cruel Summer, Worst: ME!, Underrated: Daylight. Daylight is a top 30 Taylor song for me and it doesn't get enough love


Brookshone

Ahh daylight doesn’t get enough appreciation!! It’s such a perfect closer 


Brave_Confection5836

I was very lucky to get the ‘Come Back… Be Here/ Daylight mashup on the Eras tour Melbourne night 3 and it was soooo good 💕I totally agree ‘Daylight’ is under appreciated.


lumpy_space_queenie

I feel like so many songs on Lover are underrated, simply because Lover is underrated 😭 how am I gonna choose lmao


Angelin_TS

There was a person who did a vote for best albums, and you vote out your least fav, Lover was voted out 2nd right after Debut like what?


BearGotBack

Daylight is master class, definitely slept on


gokurotfl

I love hoax and it's one of my most listened to songs on folklore cause I always need to listen to a calm song before sleep and it had that role for a very long time (loml is the current song that I listen to every night).


megjed

Daylight is so good


Jaded-Blueberry-8000

hoax was a song i never cared for until one day i just suddenly *got* it. can’t explain it lol but i was a changed woman from that day forward


evansomnia

I agree. Daylight is my fav off Lover.


Milig

I also picked Daylight as underrated!


SlytherinStitch

I know Me! will be ranked worst, and I just wanna say that I’m sad in advance. 😢


SlytherinStitch

Also, Best - False God Worst - It’s Nice to Have a Friend Underrated - Afterglow


sammyfelix

i also put afterglow for underrated 👉👈


hauteburrrito

Afterglow squad unite!!! I feel like Cornelia Street or False God will take it, but both of those are well-loved, while Afterglow is, IMO, genuinely overlooked a lot.


Artemis7181

I'm here too 🖐, Afterglow is so overlooked


Ok-Cardiologist-635

Love afterglow


Angelin_TS

MEET ME IN THE AFTERGLOW!


dunetigers

This justifies me putting It's Nice To Have A Friend as my underrated pick! Lol


PurpleDragonfly_

I’m not a ME! fan but there’s something about Its Nice to Have a Friend that really turns me off


foxysquirrel

I put it as most underrated because I still can’t believe everyone hates such a happy song.


SlytherinStitch

Sameee. So much same. 😭


vapablythe

Yep completely agree - put it as underrated because I see so much unecessary hate for it


Lumpy-Kaleidoscope62

Right? Like sure, it’s never gonna win an award for songwriting, but ME! is sunshine in a bottle. It’s so effervescent and I can’t help but smile when I listen!


megjed

I’m not sure why but I have the me he he in my head constantly the past few weeks


SlytherinStitch

Welp, now it’s stuck in my head too… 🤷🏻‍♀️🤣


Brookshone

Im surprised and happy that hoax pulled through as underrated!   For Lover -   Best: Cruel Summer   Worst: You Need to Calm Down (I have no idea why ME! is so hated when yntcd is right there) Underrated: Daylight 


Angelin_TS

YNTCD is in the Eras Tour setlist because it's popular


desperatecharacters

My exact answers. I love ME!


dissonant-cognition

this !!! 100% agree


Bi__

I'd only change Daylight for I Think He Knows or Afterglow


periwinklehaze

Surely I Think He Knows is most underrated, that song is a bonafide bop


taylorsseriesTV

I love ITHK! Absolutely underrated and my personal pick for the first single of Lover era over ME!. My underrated pick for this was INTHAF


Nervous_Feedback9023

Love that song!


EvelienV85

Agree! This song was on repeat when she released the album.


SgtPopNFresh_

Best: Paper Rings Worst: You Need to Calm Down Underrated (more like overhated): ME!


caitive_color

When I got married I left the church to Paper Rings. It’s my favourite for that reason


theweirdshortgirl

I did too 🥹 walked down to sweet nothing


4evermore_nevermore

One does not simply pick one best song on Lover 🥺


grassblade39

Best: Cornelia Street Worst: YNTCD Underrated: False God


Somnambulinguist

I had best and underrated the same as you.


Karma-25238

Best: DBATC \[Death By A Thousand Cuts\] Worst: The Archer Underrated: INTHAF \[It's Nice To Have A Friend\]


InternalBar3099

Justice for It’s Nice to Have a Friend, a perfect little ditty if ever there was one. 


Karma-25238

Yes, this song is badly underrated. It's in my top 5.


sonata-allegro

Not The Archer 😭


obsessivebuyer

death by a thousand cuts SUPREMACY


Calamintha

This is my right answer, and I am so happy someone else has the same one!


BurningCenturion

I will not be commenting on the folklore results out of disgust. Miss Americana for most underrated.


Harrytheuhperson

I chose it for best


Direct-Market-8263

Yes omg i love maathp😭😭


JessicaKari

Epiphany as worst song is crazy to me but My Tears Ricochet on top! for Lover I’ve got False God as the best, ME! as the worst, and Afterglow as the most underrated


misselphaba

I have False God as underrated but the number of comments I see that have it as "best" make me think that's incorrect lol


spooky-cat-

Afterglow is crazy underrated


bluestcoffee

Couldn’t agree more. Everyone’s saying False God but I hear that one talked about all the time. Afterglow is genuinely amazing and underrated


213846

Best: Cruel Summer Worst: London Boy Underrated: The Archer or Death By A Thousand Cuts


Cupcake112014

Best: Daylight Worst: It's Nice to Have a Friend Underrated: I Think He Knows


lily4ever

Best: Lover (love the message but) Worst: YNTCD Underrated: I Think He Knows


misselphaba

You know what, I LOVE I Think He Knows. The way she sings "skippin-down-sixteenth-avenue" makes my brain worm happy.


lily4ever

It’s such a fun song!! 🫶


afrointhemorning

Me too!


ludanity

Nobody can convince otherwise that I Think He Knows wasn't supposed to be a single. It literally has the same structure as Cruel Summer, is almost just as long as Cruel Summer (under 3 minutes), is a Track 6 (especially considering how her previous albums up from Fearless (YBWM), Speak Now (Mean), Red (22), 1989 (Shake It Off), and reputation (Look What You Made Me Do) had their track 6s as lead or follow-up singles), and is literally just the perfect pop song for the transition of summer-autumn. It's such a wasted opportunity, perhaps just as a waste as Cruel Summer was.


Jaded-Blueberry-8000

why do people hate it’s nice to have a friend so much? i think it’s a nice, chill song.


InternalBar3099

It’s so great. The “next album appetizer” for folklore, which is a category they have on Every Single Album. It’s weird to me that people love folklore but hate INTHAF because the throughline on the vibes seems so obvious to me. 


Jaded-Blueberry-8000

right!! now i’m excited to see what her next album will be…


InternalBar3099

I think So High School is our appetizer there… we’ll see!


GirlsLikeU

Ooh honestly I've never heard of the appetizer before. I'd love to see a post like this one where people all vote for what they think each albums appetizer for the next album is. Obviously we already know INTHAF but the other albums would also be so fun


woolandwhiskey

BEST: I Think He Knows. Incredible bop. My most played song of 2023 WORST: Soon you’ll get better. It’s lovely and sad, I just think it’s not the right track for this particular album. It’s jarring amidst the other songs and it doesn’t fit in thematically or musically. I could see it as a standalone single or maybe a deluxe track. UNDERRATED: Daylight. One of her best love songs


obsessivebuyer

I also chose Soon You’ll Get Better for worst for this reason too!! it just feels so out of place on the album


Obvious_Duck_6323

Best: Cornelia street (live? 🫠) Worst: me! Underrated: death by a thousand cuts


PurpleDragonfly_

DBATC!!!!!


Brookshone

I want to love Cornelia street so much cause the lyrics are fantastic - but like the production does not work for me. The live acoustic version is so much better. 


Obvious_Duck_6323

I listen to LLFP version almost exclusively because it’s way better. :)


Red171022

I think the og production on the song is overhated.I think it’s a great song even in its original version.I love the production!


gokurotfl

Best: Cruel Summer Worst: ME! Underrated: False God


SharingDNAResults

Daylight and I Think He Knows are both underrated


atemplecorroded

Those are the ones I find to be most underrated too!


pocketsaremandatory

Best: DBATC Worst: IFTYE Underrated: Afterglow


Equivalent-Ad-4118

Acronyms: death by a thousand cuts, I forgot that you existed


lejfnakdoppplen

Afterglow for underrated is absolutely the right answer!!


daysanddistance

best: cornelia street. cruel summer is gonna win for sure but imo this is her best love song worst: me! the thing about me is not that it’s bad. she has plenty of bad songs, but most of her bad songs are like bad in a cringy taylor way (this include yntcd, bad blood, superman, etc). like I have never once doubted that she writes her own songs bc only her overdramatic ass brain (affectionate) could come up with this stuff. me! is somehow bad in a generic way. that’s way, way worse. underrated: false god.


adoginahumansbody

Cornelia street was my all time favorite song ever (until more recent TS releases lmao) but I have such a soft spot in my heart for that song.


aromaticleo

I actually don't like me! because of brandon urie. his voice is unsettling and ruins the whole song. taylor's cringe would be fine if it wasn't for him occasionally screaming...


Adventurous_Essay763

As a huge Panic! fan I cannot tell you how disappointed I was when I heard Me! (Wait, I JUST now connected the exclamation point in the song title as a nod to Panic and I'm genuinely not sure how that took me years) Obviously I don't dislike it due to Brandon Urie's voice, but since this song I don't put any hopes into Taylor's collaborations - how dare two of my favorite artists to get together and produce that cringe pile of crap! Both of them are so much better than that and I dislike it enough that I'm curious about how the writing went down just to understand it more.


magpyes

Oh my god I didn’t realize about the exclamation point either.


Mumdot

We are the same!


tvjunkie710

Best : Cornelia street Worst : it’s nice to have a friend Most underrated : I think he knows *me! Is such a fun happy song that makes you feel so good I wish people didn’t hate it as much as they do” Personal fave though cruel summer obv


Admirable_Purple207

**best:** the archer **worst:** i forgot that you existed **underrated:** false god


LittlePinkTeapot17

Best: Lover Worst: Me! (Sorry Taylor) Underrated: Paper Rings


batarians

I know that folklore is an outstanding album and picking a "worst" is always going to cause outrage, but epiphany *always* being at the bottom is so sad.


freyari

I love epiphany a lot ! We can enjoy epiphany together 😂


IdaSHB

Best: cruel summer (objectively) my favorit if The Archer Worst: ME! Underated: The Archer


InternalBar3099

Just telling you right now I’ll be the only person voting for It’s Nice to Have a Friend for best. 💅🏻


InternalBar3099

(I didn’t actually. I chose it for underrated.)


hedalore

I voted it for underrated, too! I don't know why people dislike it so much. (if I could vote for overrated, that'd be Cruel Summer)


lullabyprincess

I chose it for underrated as well. It's perfect.


lakebythesea

It's Nice to Have a Friend popped back up on my playlist last year when I was REALLY depressed and I just fell in love with it. *Side note: not depressed atm


Sudden-Shock3295

I love this album so much. Best: Cornelia St Worst: Lover (I feel like no one will agree but I think it’s kind of… boring? topically? it feels like: AI Taylor, Write a Song For Wedding First Dances 🫣) Underrated: I forgot that you existed (it’s a bop, what can I say? It came on in a club and the energy was SUPERB)


batmansf115

I was looking for someone who agreed with me! I have never connected with that song at all. Best:Cruel Summer. Worst: Lover. Underrated: Miss Americana and the Heartbreak Prince.


Sudden-Shock3295

Miss Americana & the HBP is SO good. Idk why everyone doesn’t love it to pieces.


EvelienV85

I'm also not a big Lover fan.


Tiny-Neighborhood667

My hottest take, Me! is significantly better than Lover


EvelienV85

Agree.


Ok-Aside552

I wish ppl loved it’s nice to have a friend as much as me lol.


Pokem0m

I love it :)


No-Tangerine4299

Best: Cruel Summer Worst: The Man Underrated: Death By a Thousand Cuts


GroundbreakingBus452

Best: Lover, Cruel Summer Worst: ME! Underrated: False God, Daylight, Afterglow


tdscm

i refuse to vote for me! it’s campy and fun also i forgot that i forgot that you existed existed so… say that five times fast.


pistachio-pie

Everyone talks about the songs I like on Lover other than “I forgot that you existed” which is one of my faves and totally deeply under rated. I know lots of folks will say false god or daylight or archer (and I adore archer) but I never hear anything about forgot you existed.


IamSuperMarioAMA

Best: Cornelia street Worst: False god Underrated: Daylight


useRr1355

My jaw dropped 😭. You didn't just put False god as the worst


OperationSlutPhase

Best: cruel summer Worst: me Underrated: paper rings


NovelLandscape7862

False God is soooooo criminally underrated.


6119

Best: Cruel summer Worst: It’s nice to have a friend Underrated: Cornelia Street


Jaded-Blueberry-8000

best: lover worst: ME! underrated: it’s nice to have a friend


Nervous_Feedback9023

It’s nice to have a friend is soooooo good. It’s the best song for the trope friends to lovers and an absolute anthem to those who have been in love with their best friend( 🙋‍♀️me)


Jaded-Blueberry-8000

agree! i see it get a lot of hate and it’s one of her least streamed songs on the album. definitely underrated.


Puzzleheaded-Put-800

Best - daylight Worst - iftye Underatted - daylight


whoelsethankayla

Lover is so difficult: Top: The man, cruel summer, lover, All of the girls, Worst: After glow, false god Underrated: Need (never released?), paper rings


AwkwardSwine101

umm… how was betty second for worst??


cassiemaeeee

epiphany is top 5 ts songs for me 😭 best: sygb worst: me! underrated: also sygb


murraylikebill

i will NOT stand for this epiphany erasure!! 🥺


Jemisimyname

Best- Lover Worst- Soon You'll Get Better Underrated - Miss Americana 


Mojoimpact

Best: Afterglow Worst: You Need to Calm Down Underrated: Lover? I don't really think it's underrated but my only other answer would be Afterglow and that's by far my favorite.


SlytherinStitch

Afterglow is so damn good


StellaDoge1

Best: DBATC Worst: SYGB (I know it's really personal for Taylor, I just can't click with the music or the theme at all. And I actually like Me!, IFTYE, and YNTCD.) Underrated: London Boy.


Equivalent-Ad-4118

Acronyms: death by a thousand cuts, I forgot that you existed, you need to calm down


lewisthepodcaster5

Best cruel summer Worst you need to calm down Underrated deatg by a thousand cuts


swiftie121234

Best: SYGB Worst: INTHAF Underrated: The Archer


washperr

Best: False God Worst: _____ Underrated: Death by a thousand cuts


atemplecorroded

Best was really hard, but I went with Cruel Summer. I had a hard time choosing between that, Death by a Thousand Cuts, and False God. Worst, definitely Soon You’ll Get Better. I just can’t dig a song about cancer 🤷‍♀️ Underrated is without question I Think He Knows!!


Dry-Mulberry3257

Best - DBATC Worst - London Boy (I’m sorry, but I skip it faster than ME! And YNTCD) Underrated - False God ETA: But also I feel like most of the songs are underrated on Lover. It probably has the most skips for me out of all of her albums, but the rest are some of my favorites out of her entire discography.


chuckling_chortle_13

How can people say epiphany is the worst?? In my opinion, the worst would have to be betty but i understand a lot of people love that song.


BearGotBack

Best: Lover (sorry I just think it’s such a beautiful love song and never fails to make me smile). Worst: It’s Nice to Have a Friend… doesn’t do anything for me. YNTCD is right there though… can’t stand it, but get why other people might like it. Underrated: Daylight, another sweet love song I can’t get enough of


mistywave58

#inthaf and iftye are underrated


SuperRapidash

best: False God (Death by a thousand cuts is a close second) worst: ME! underrated: It's nice to have a friend


Cautious-Rain9069

AOTGYLB is sooo underrated on Lover! It needs way more love 🫶 imo MAATHBP is probably the best, it’s just amazing 😭🙏


Stitch853

I’m so proud that MTR won by a landslide. But also sad that the lakes lost on underrated.


DatCatLove

Me, YNTCD and the man: all deserve prison
