The Perfect Taylor Swift Playlist: From Autumn to Winter to New Year's Day
We’ve established that fall means listening to Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version)” over and over. Last year when Swift re-released her album Red and the short film for “All Too Well,” it was a huge moment for the music industry. Not only have Taylor fans established Red as a fall album, but many have agreed on which albums go with each season (Speak Now is a winter album)!
Swift has a multitude of songs that paint small-town autumn scenes and big-city wintry nights. Here’s a playlist that follows the cold days of the year through her words and stories, because there truly is a Taylor Swift song for every situation and season- from autumn to winter to “New Years Day.”
The playlist opens with “All Too Well” of course, and is soon followed by “ivy.” Taylor has described the writing on Evermore as being lyrically inspired by Emily Dickinson and “ivy” feels most reflective of that.
“In from the snow
Your touch brought forth an incandescent glow
Tarnished but so grand”
The song was even featured on the Apple TV show Dickinson. Dickinson writes about nature and love so specifically, and this Taylor Swift song feels like a brisk autumn day in one of her sorrowful poems. Naturally, the playlist makes the transition from autumn to winter with “Back to December.” Swift has an innumerable amount of winter songs: “Christmas Tree Farm,” “tis the damn season,” and the less obviously titled ones such as “champagne problems” and “seven.”
Swift’s new album, Midnights, comes out October 21st, so this autumn playlist felt timely and will definitely be filled with more songs after the release.

I ended the playlist with Taylor falling in love again on the track “New Year’s Day.” I hope this playlist brings you through the yearning of fall, the heartbreak of winter and leaves you satisfied and in love by “New Year’s Day.”
