Taylor Swift the celebrity is such a magnet for attention, she can distract from TaylorSwift the artist. But Swift was a songwriter before she was a star, and she'llbe a songwriter long after she graduates from that racket. It's in her musicwhere she's made her mark on history – as a performer, record-crafter, guitarhero and all-around pop mastermind, with songs that can leave you breathless,or with a nasty scar. She was soaring on the level of the all-time greatsbefore she was old enough to rent a car, with the crafty guile of a Carole Kingand the reckless heart of a Paul Westerberg – and she hasn't exactly sloweddown since then.
名人Taylor Swift是吸引关注的大磁铁，她能转移人们对艺术家Taylor Swift的注意力。但是Swift首先是个词曲人，其次才是个明星。待到她从绯闻、头条等等周遭喧嚣中成功脱身，她仍然是位词曲人。她青史留名的依据是她的音乐——作为一个表演者，纪录创造者，吉他专家，全面发展的流行大师，她的歌曲能让你“喘不过气，或留下深深的伤疤”。在她还不能自己租车的年纪，Swift就已凭借她Carole King水平的狡黠“骗术”和Paul Westerberg的无畏之心，高飞在永恒经典的行列之中。并且，她自此并未停止前行。
So with all due respect to Taylor the myth, the icon, the red-carpet tabloidstaple, let's celebrate the real Taylor – the songwriter she was born to be.Let's break it down: all 115 tunes, counted from the bottom to the top. Thehits, the flops, the deep cuts, the covers, from her raw 2006 debut as a teencountry ingénue to "...Readyfor It?" – her latest offering. Every fan would compile a different list –that's the beauty of it. But they're not ranked by popularity, sales orsupposed celebrity quotient – just the level of Taylor genius on display, fromthe perspective of a fan who generally does not give a rat's nads who the songsare "really" about. All that matters is whether they're about you andme. (I guarantee you are a more fascinating human than the Twilight guy, thoughI'm probably not.)
Taylor乐坛偶像，红毯小报话题人物的身份暂且放在一旁，我们还是来赞美那个注定要成为天才词曲人的真实Taylor吧。仔仔细细，从头到尾地把她115首歌分析个遍：无论是热单还是成绩不佳的歌曲，还有人们挚爱的歌，或者是翻唱；从2006年青涩的同名时期里那个稚嫩少女到最近的 "...Readyfor It?"。每个粉丝都能排出一个不同的榜单，这也就是她的魅力所在。不过这些歌曲不是按照受欢迎程度、销量或者是体现名人全貌这种标准排的，而是按照歌中展现出来的天才之处有多少评判的，从我这个粉丝的角度来看，我根本就不在乎这些歌究竟是关于谁的。
Sister Tay may be the last true rock star on the planet,making brilliant moves (or catastrophic gaffes, because that's what rock starsdo). These are the songs that sum up her wit, her empathy, her flair foremotional excess, her girls-to-the-front bravado, her urge to ransack everycorner of pop history, her determination to turn any chorus into a ridiculousspectacle. So let's step back from the image and pay homage to herone-of-a-kind songbook – because the weirdest and mostfascinating thing about Taylor Swift will always be her music.
Taylor可能是这个星球上最后一个真正的摇滚明星，她常有惊为天人之举，但也会犯灾难性的大错，因为这就是摇滚明星所为。这些歌很好地概括了她的智慧与同理心，她对泛滥情感的独到眼光，挺身而出一往无前的勇敢，横扫流行乐历史每一隅的渴望，还有把每一段副歌都变成现实透镜的决心。所以不要再管她的公众形象如何如何了，向她绝无仅有的歌曲集合致意吧，因为关于Taylor Swift的所有事情中，最奇怪，最让人着迷的永远是她的音乐。
