As a Swiftie, 50% of the time I'm listening to the entire discography of my girl Taylor. There’s not enough time for every song she’s written to get the recognition it deserves, but some deserve WAY more attention. Here’s a list of just 10 songs I believe are rudely underrated.

1. "Jump Then Fall"

Republic Records / Taylor Swift

I think we all forget just how amazing Fearless as an album was and is to this day. This banjo-centric song has all kinds of feels and a chorus that stays stuck in my head anytime I hear the word "jump".

2. "All You Had to Do Was Stay"

Big Machine Records

The lyrics are a mix of both empowerment and sadness. Only Taylor Swift can do a song with raw and heartfelt emotion over a track that makes you want to dance.

3. "The Moment I Knew"

Taylor Swift / Republic Records

I know I'm going to get some crap for this, but though I love "All Too Well", it will not be on the list. While I do think the song is underrated, this addition to Red (Deluxe Edition) is even more overshadowed. Every time I hear it, my heart breaks for Taylor. Birthdays are supposed to be a happy occasion!

4. "Speak Now"

Speak Now, 100%, is the most underrated album in the entire Taylor Swift discography, and the titular song needs more attention. It's fun. It tells a story. And someone crashes a wedding! What more could you want?

5. "Death By A Thousand Cuts"

Republic Records

Lover is hands down my favorite album, and anytime I hear any sort of praise toward this masterpiece, I'm happy. However, this song needs a lot more in its direction. Even on an album about finding love and finally being in a happy relationship, she still knows how to capture the many tinging pains of a heartbreak.

6. "A Perfectly Good Heart"

Big Machine Records

I've heard so many bad things about this song, and I cannot! When I went through my first heartbreak, I immediately identified with these lyrics. And truly it's a great question; Why would you want to break a perfectly good heart?

7. "Right Where You Left Me"

This list is full of bonus tracks, that if you haven't listened yet, you should. The way the lyrics flow one after the other is what really impresses me here. If she did release this as a single, I could definitely see this topping the Billboard 100.

8. "Gorgeous"

Big Machine Records / Via youtube.com

Something about this song just gets to me. She takes the word and makes it her own, which I think is beautiful- err... gorgeous.

9. "The Last Great American Dynasty"

Taylor Swift / Republic Records

This song has gotten its share of praise, even from critics, but we need to dial it up from a 3 to a 10. Taylor bought a house, then wrote a masterpiece. Two things I can only dream to do in my lifetime.

10. "Bye Bye Baby"

Taylor Swift / Republic Records

I'll never get over why this song was never released on the original Taylor Swift Fearless album, even the deluxe version. Maybe I could have had this sweet chorus in my head years ago. We love to rave over "Mr. Perfectly Fine", but don't forget this song is great, too!
