    A Ranking Of The Absolute Most Romantic Taylor Swift Lyrics (Part 2)

    "Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around."

    Last month, I wrote an article that was supposed to be a ranking of Taylor Swift's most romantic lyrics. However, after going through Reputation and Evermore, I realized this was really a two-parter. So, without further adieu, I give you the final part: Taylor Swift's most romantic lyrics from Taylor Swift to 1989, ranked.

    I am using Fearless (Taylor's Version) and Red (Taylor's Version).
