The Hardest Taylor Swift Music Trivia Quiz You'll Ever Take

Taylor wrote "Lucky You" aged 12, after a computer repairman who came to her house taught her three chords on her guitar.

What's the name of the first song Taylor ever wrote?

Following the success of her first two albums, some critics questioned how much song-writing Taylor was actually responsible for. So, she decided to write her third album, _Speak Now_, entirely by herself.

Which album did Taylor write entirely on her own?

The album was originally going to be called Enchanted, however the title was switched at the last minute after the president of her record label decided the themes of the songs were less about fairy tales, and more about real-life experiences.

What was the album, "Speak Now" originally called?

The original version of "All Too Well" was a full 10 minutes long, and the decision was made to filter it down to a more conventional length for the album.

How long was the original version of "All Too Well?"

The reference to things happening “at 2 a.m” is a recurring theme in her songs. It’s featured as a lyric on “Breathe”, “The Way I Love You”, "Mine", “Mary’s Song”, “Enchanted”, and “I Wish You Would.”

On how many songs does the time "2 a.m." feature?

"I Did Something Bad" from the album _Reputation_ contains the lyric: "If a man talks shit then I owe him nothing" – the first and only instance of a swear word in her entire discography.

Which is the only Taylor Swift song to contain a swear word?

There are references to necklaces on five of Taylor's songs – "Out of the Woods," "You Are In Love," "Call It What You Want," "Dancing With Our Hands Tied" and "So It Goes..."

How many of Taylor's songs reference necklaces?

Taylor's own heartbeat is listed as an instrument on _1989_'s "Wildest Dreams," and can be clearly heard throughout.

Which song features Taylor's own heartbeat?

Despite being a fan favourite, "Wonderland" was only performed four times across the entire _1989_ world tour.

Which song from "1989" was only played four times during the world tour?

Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively's daughter, James, is the baby who says the word "Gorgeous" at the start of the track of the same name on _Reputation_.

Taylor wrote the track "This Is What You Came For" for Calvin Harris and Rihanna using the pseudonym Nils Sjoberg. The whole thing only came out after she and Calvin split.

Which chart-topping song did Taylor write under a pseudonym?

Taylor allegedly wrote "Innocent" about the MTV VMAs incident in 2010, and "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" about their falling out over "Famous."

How many songs has Taylor ~allegedly~ written about Kanye West?

Taylor wrote "The Best Day" about her mother and gave her the recording of it as a Christmas present.

Which song did Taylor write as an ode to her mother?

After dreaming about her ex turning up on her doorstep and begging to take her back, Taylor woke up hearing the operatic "Stay!" that came to be used in "All You Had To Do Was Stay."

Which "1989" track was inspired by a dream Taylor had?

The sound effect after the chorus that goes: "Duhhhlatatatata duh duh" was actually a noise Taylor heard in a dream. When she woke up, she decided the sound was so "hooky and catchy" that it had to be included in a song.

And which "Reputation" track was also inspired by a dream?

Taylor wrote, recorded and co-produced "Clean" – the final track on _1989_ – with Imogen Heap.

Who did Taylor collaborate with on "Clean?"

Taylor won the Grammy for "Album of the Year" in 2010 for _Fearless_, and then a second time with _1989_ in 2014. She's the only woman to have won the award twice.

How many times has Taylor won "Album Of The Year" at the Grammys?

"Love Story" is Taylor's best-selling single to date, having shifted over 6 million copies. "I Knew You Were Trouble" comes in second position, having sold 5.3 million copies.

_Reputation_, _1989_, _Red_ and _Speak Now_ all sold over one million copies in their first week of release. _Fearless_ and the eponymous _Taylor Swift,_ however, did not.

And, finally, which album did NOT sell 1 million copies in its first week?

You like Taylor Swift but you wouldn't call yourself a major fan – you prefer to sing along to her famous singles rather than download full albums.

Wow, your Taylor Swift music knowledge is pretty impressive, but there's still work to be done. And this is no bad thing – it means you get to listen to even more of her discography.

You are a massive Taylor Swift fan and pride yourself on knowing every fact and lyric. And who can blame you – her discography is pretty much flawless.
