The Eras in Order

Before you test yourself, here's a quick refresher on the 11 eras and what defined each one:

Taylor Swift (2006) — Country debut. Wrote every song herself as a teenager. "Tim McGraw" was her first single.

Fearless (2008) — Crossover breakthrough. Won the Grammy for Album of the Year, making her the youngest solo artist ever to do so at that time.

Speak Now (2010) — Written entirely alone, no co-writers. Underrated. "Back to December" remains one of her most honest songs.

Red (2012) — The bridge between country and pop. Messy, emotional, and brilliant. The 10-Minute Version of "All Too Well" released in 2021 proved everyone right about this album.

1989 (2014) — Official pop rebrand. "Shake It Off," "Blank Space," "Style," "Out of the Woods." Won Album of the Year, making her the first woman to win it twice.

Reputation (2017) — Dark era. "Look What You Made Me Do" announced a new, harder version of Taylor. The Reputation Stadium Tour broke the U.S. concert tour gross record.

Lover (2019) — Bright, pastel, optimistic. "ME!" and "You Need to Calm Down" were the singles; "Cruel Summer" became the actual classic.

Folklore (2020) — Surprise indie folk album released during COVID lockdown. Won Album of the Year. A narrative trilogy runs through "cardigan," "august," and "betty."

Evermore (2020) — Released two months after Folklore. Called its "sister record." "champagne problems" and "no body no crime" are standouts.

Midnights (2022) — Self-described "13 sleepless nights." "Anti-Hero" spent 8 weeks at #1. Won her fourth Album of the Year Grammy — a solo record.

The Tortured Poets Department (2024) — Dropped the night she won at the Grammys. A double album with 31 tracks. Emotional, raw, and immediately controversial.
