Taylor Swift, Top 10 Collaborations Ranked by the Numbers
In her spotlighted career, Taylor Swift has worked with a variety of artists on collaborations that have sold heaps of copies and won the hearts of fans. Today, we’ve done some math to rank the Top 10 Taylor Swift collaborations, with as little bias as possible.
To create the list I went through rankings of Taylor Swift’s songs by Rolling Stone, Vulture, NME, Paste and StyleCaster. And before that, so I could escape any influence, I ranked them from 1 to 10 on my own.
I took the ranking number of the songs on each list (minimum three results, maximum five) and added my ranking, and divided by the number of lists those numbers came from (between four and six).
The results are in the list below. Song #10 on the list ended up with 125.5 points, song #1 ended up with 28.5 points. These points are their average ranking among all Taylor Swift songs plus my ranking of the collaborations separate from the rest of her discography.

Example of the math…
Song: ME!
Math: Rolling Stone 144 // Vulture 149 // NME 109 // Paste 155 // StyleCaster 126 // Personal Rank 7 (70 points). Total points: 753. 753/6 = 125.5.
So, there you have it. That’s how I put the list together to try to make it something more than just my thoughts and personal feelings. But, just for fun, I’ll have my list from 10 to 1 at the bottom of the post.
Ready? Hit play on the songs you love, sing along, enjoy!
