Background: Taylor Swift goes places. And when she goes to those places, she makes entrances and exits (usually out of doors). When these things happen it's special. It's important. It is Taylor Swift Leaving And Arriving.
This year was no disappointment. She graced us with her presence outside of stores, restaurants and houses so many wonderful times throughout 2015. Without further ado, here is the official ranking of those moments.
