It’s been ten years since Taylor Swift debuted her first album. At age 16, Swift released her self-titled album, Taylor Swift. 

Swift wrote on Instagram, “10 years ago today, my first album came out.
I couldn’t be more grateful today, thinking back on how much fun we’ve had and how you’ve encouraged me to change and grow. It’s been such an adventure, guys. Thank you for all of it.”

It’s hard to pick just 10 great Taylor Swift songs. Instead, we’ve simply compiled a list of 10 songs that showcase Swift’s talent and growth since age 16 to celebrate her 10 years of epic success.

The first single released from her debut album was “Tim McGraw.” And with this sweet, country ballad, Swift made her mark as a rising music sensation.

“Teardrops on My Guitar” was the second single released from Swift’s debut album and probably one of the most popular songs from her debut album.

“You Belong with Me” resonated with teens across the country and beyond. It climbed to number 2 on the charts back in 2009.

“I Knew You Were Trouble” talks about the break-up of Swift and One Direction’s Harry Styles.

“We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” is another popular break-up song by Swift. This time about her ex-boyfriend actor Jake Gyllenhaal.

“Our Song” was on the charts at #1 for six weeks. A song from Swift’s debut album, Swift says she wrote the song for her high school talent show when she was in the ninth grade.

“Eyes Open” is a song on the Hunger Games soundtrack.

Swift has become known for love songs. Although Swift hasn’t revealed who”Love Story” is about, it was another one of her wildly successful songs about romance.

The satirical “Blank Space” became an instant favorite as Swift mocks herself and the media is the catchy tune.

A Taylor Swift song list is not complete without mentioning the outrageously catchy “Shake it Off”, which Swift told Good Morning America is about living in a takedown culture, in which you have to live your life  in spite of those who don’t understand you.
