""Don't - like - this is so much pressure," she stammers. "I think I'm gonna say that I'm gonna need a little time to get back to you on all five, because I don't have enough - I think that I require a little bit of time to appreciate my work in a way.""
"Those five songs - "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)," "Blank Space," "Anti-Hero," "Love Story," and "The Last Great American Dynasty" - may not be her favorite so much as her self-perceived best."
"Eventually she tells Colbert that "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)" and perennial folklore fav "Mirrorball" are on the list, but that she's "really obsessed" with The Life of a Showgirl (the whole album) at the present time."
Taylor Swift submitted five songs for Songwriters Hall of Fame consideration: All Too Well (10 Minute Version), Blank Space, Anti-Hero, Love Story, and The Last Great American Dynasty. Those choices emphasize songwriting craft and represent selections she perceives as strong compositions rather than fixed personal favorites. When pressed to list a top five live, she expressed pressure and asked for time to appreciate her work before answering. She later confirmed All Too Well (10 Minute Version) and Mirrorball among her choices and described a current obsession with the album The Life of a Showgirl. The breadth of her catalogue makes personal rankings fluid.
