🔥 Ranking Taylor Swift Albums by Chaos Level

From cardigan-core to full-blown delulu.

Taylor Swift doesn’t just make albums — she makes eras. With each one comes a new personality, a new colour palette, and let’s be honest: a very different level of emotional chaos.

So we’ve ranked every album not by Grammy wins or Metacritic scores (yawn), but by how absolutely off-the-rails it made us feel.

Warning: there are no skips ahead — only spirals.

🌾 10. evermore – Cosy Chaos

Chaos Level: 2/10 (like crying into a cashmere blanket)

This is cottagecore chaos. You’re sad, but you’re classy about it. You journal. You light candles. You take long walks and think about exes you never even dated. A beautiful, woodsy dissociation.

🎻 9. folklore – Literary Chaos

Chaos Level: 3/10 (reading enemies-to-lovers fanfic while ghosting your therapist)

You’re processing... something. Possibly someone else’s breakup. Possibly a fictional character’s. You wear oversized cardigans and cry to “august” even though you were never the other woman. Iconic behaviour.

🌸 8. Lover – Glittery Denial Chaos

Chaos Level: 4/10 (delulu but pastel)

Lover is what happens when you're romanticising someone who literally ghosted you. It’s manic pixie dream coping. “Cruel Summer” is playing while you’re blocking someone on Instagram. Sparkly, sugary delusion. We support it.

💔 7. Red (Taylor’s Version) – Nostalgic Chaos

Chaos Level: 6/10 (hot girl breakdown re-recorded in HD)

This is retrospective chaos. You think you’re healed until All Too Well (10 Minute Version) drops. Suddenly, you’re texting your ex “just to talk.” This era smells like burnt toast and emotional regression.

🕰 6. Midnights – Unfiltered Chaos

Chaos Level: 7/10 (3am thoughts dressed as disco)

“Anti-Hero” alone should come with a warning label. This is insomnia music. Overthinking-core. A breakdown in a sequin jumpsuit. You’re spiralling, but in a way that’s deeply aesthetic.

🦋 5. Speak Now – Lyrical Revenge Chaos

Chaos Level: 7.5/10 (smiling sweetly while planning your villain arc)

This album was written by a girl who just discovered what pettiness is — and she’s never looking back. “Dear John” is a restraining order in ballad form. We love a softly-spoken savage.

👑 4. Fearless – Teenage Girl Chaos

Chaos Level: 8/10 (diary entries that could end empires)

Fearless isn’t just teen drama. It’s teen drama with conviction. You’re crying in a prom dress. You’re yelling “You Belong With Me” at a boy who barely knows your name. Peak chaotic innocence.

✨ 3. 1989 – Reinvented Chaos

Chaos Level: 8.5/10 (high-gloss heartbreak with a side of revenge hair)

You moved to a new city. You cut your hair. You rebranded. You should be okay but you’re writing essays about the friendship breakup hidden in “Out of the Woods.” It’s clean. But it’s not.

🖤 2. reputation – Weaponised Chaos

Chaos Level: 9.5/10 (faux villain era but it still hurt)

“Look What You Made Me Do”? Yeah. That’s not just a song — it’s a warning. You’re burning bridges in heels. You’re deleting texts before you send them. You say you don’t care and mean it… kind of. This is survival mode in snake print.

📝 1. The Tortured Poets Department – Academic Spiral Chaos

Chaos Level: 11/10 (you got ghosted and wrote a dissertation)

This is peak chaos. You're annotating your own heartbreak. You’re quoting Sylvia Plath in the group chat. There are multiple subplots and no one’s mentally stable — least of all you. A poetic mess. We adore it.

🧵 TL;DR:

Taylor Swift doesn’t miss, but she does spiral — and so do we.
Whether you’re in your cardigan-core era or full BRAT-mode, just know: chaos is valid, and merch exists for every version of you.
