'Innocent'
One of the first tracks recorded for 2010's Speak Now album, it's one of many times we get to hear Taylor clap back at Kanye West for ambushing her MTV VMA's acceptance speech. But even if it wasn't about West, it's still a beautiful ballad.

'Starlight'
In the midst of a budding romance with Connor Kennedy, this track from Taylor's fourth studio album Red paints a very vivid picture of what partying among one of the country's most famous families must have been like.

'How You Get The Girl'
The album 1989 took Taylor's sharpest turn towards pop than any of its predecessors. But the track 'How You Get The Girl', despite being produced by Max Martin (Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys) was the closest throwback to her country roots. And it's hook is completely infectious.
