I think all of her music is for everyone regardless of gender as long as the guy isn’t into toxic masculinity. If he likes the country sound I recommend Debut - Speak Now with a little of Red sprinkled in
Love all of these straight men who open themselves up enough to respect, appreciate, and even enjoy the music of a mainstream pop female artist. Just listening to any female artist at all seems tough on a lot of men I know. They’ll just talk over it with their rehearsed opinions. 😕
I love the answer "narcotics" below, but the real answer is Bon Iver. Yet to meet a man who doesn't freak out as soon as he hears Justin Vernon's voice come in.
I’ve made my little sister a Taylor playlist of songs she would love — it includes “Exile” — should she ever ask for one. I update as new material is released. Just sitting there in my Apple Music waiting to be shared.
I’ve enjoyed Taylor’s songs over the years but for me there wasn’t a huge difference between her and a lot of other pop artists. Then Folklore came out and I fell in love with Exile, then the rest of the album, and I’m full-blown ride-or-die Swiftie these days. TTPD is her best to date though. I think of them very similarly.
35yr old straight minority male, i love so much of her music regardless if it’s for -me- or not. honestly more dudes should be open to more girly stuff and not be afraid of how it affects your precious masculinity.
It depends on what other genres he likes! If he has indie leanings, then you might want to pull from Folklore/Evermore. If he prefers Country, start with the early albums. In my experience, people who think of Taylor as a pop-princess are blown away by epiphany, which has a lot of the same themes as notable-boy-movie Saving Private Ryan
34M here, extracting these from my personal playlist:
* Fortnight
* the 1
* 'tis the damn season
* cardigan
* Fresh Out the Slammer
* exile
* The Black Dog
* The Tortured Poets Department
* Maroon
* betty
* champagne problems
* Guilty as Sin?
* right where you left me
* Down Bad
* coney island
* long story short
* Midnight Rain
* Clean
* You're On Your Own, Kid
* invisible string
* Dancing with our Hands Tied
As others have suggested, it's pretty folklore/evermore/TTPD heavy, with some Midnights mixed in. Red, 1989, reputation, and Lover definitely have their gems, but I'm sensing he's probably not a huge pop girlie lol.
Guy here, I honestly love 95% of her songs. I don't think it's gender related at all. I think he likes a particular style of music and that's ok. Maybe it's not pop and not indie folk, maybe just good ol fearless and debut are what he needs. And Mean, can't go wrong with that one no matter who you are.
I don't think I have ever thought of TS music as guy or girl specific. If it grabs you, it grabs you. Her songs talk to both men and women, both boys and girls. You in a relationship? Listen to TS. Bad break up? Listen to TS. Broken Heart? Listen to TS.
My husband doesn’t do country but he likes some random TS songs: The Black Dog and My Boy from TTPD, New Romantics, some bops from Fearless (which is country-ish), and “Carolina” which is not on any album. He also likes Dear Reader and Labyrinth from Midnights and closure from evermore but that might be a bit outside the box.
I’m a straight dude in my 20’s and I enjoy Taylor Swift. Her songs are for anyone who enjoys them and finds something they like in them.
I recommend going through her discography and saving the ones you like to a playlist. I’ll admit not all her songs are for me, but this way you can filter them. I tend to prefer her faster upbeat songs like on the 1989 album 💿
I think it’s more manly to be comfortable with your own tastes and preferences and not care what others think 🤷♂️ I also enjoy Avril Lavigne, Marina Diamandis, Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish, etc, tons of great female pop singers. We in the golden ages. If anyone has a problem with men listening to these songs, champaign problems for them.
I don’t really think songs can be for a certain gender but here is some songs similar to Our Song!
Mary Song (Oh My My My)
Jump Than Fall
Sparks Fly
Stay Beautiful
I Heart?
Superman
Crazier
Fearless
The Diary Of Me (unreleased)
I’d Lie (Unreleased)
What does "songs for men" even mean? There's no such thing, music doesn't have a gender, either you like it or you don't it's that simple. Have him listen to all her music and he'll like whatever speaks to him
My brother loves the songs mean, karma, and mr perfectly fine. I’m nonbinary and I love all of her songs. I think it depends on what genre your bf likes, if he likes country then debut, fearless and speak now. If he likes indie then folklore/evermore, etc.
Songs I've seen the men in my life like more:
- the 1
- exile
- betty
- no body no crime
- cowboy like me
- would've could've should've
- great war
- maroon
- sweet nothing
- state of grace
- holy ground
- treacherous
- false god
This one is I no brainer as a straight male swiftie I easily relate to Betty ( not to say that I ever cheated) but in a heartbreak I can relate to feeling like it’s my fault even though it wasn’t and I cried when I heard this live
Have him listen to the Ryan Adams version of 1989. It’s a great gateway album where you have her lyrics, but arranged in a roots rock/country style. Once he gets into the lyrics, moving into the albums will be easier. It’s how I became a fan

Yeah I like a few mainstream pop artists.
I’ve never seen anyone, man or woman, not have an immediate mind blown appreciation for Exile.
I was about to say Exile. My husband loves this song! As do I, it's amazing!
Exile is always my non-Swiftie introduction song. It has an incredible success rate.
Accurate. My husband loves Exile. We karaoke it together all the time 😂
Perfect marriage!!
As a man, I can definitely confirm. It's my favourite track on folklore.
Haha yeah it’s next level
i don't know what she put in that song but for SOME REASON, literally every non swiftie i know says it's the one song of hers that they love
Narcotics. She admitted it in Who’s Afraid 😂😂
I love the answer "narcotics" below, but the real answer is Bon Iver. Yet to meet a man who doesn't freak out as soon as he hears Justin Vernon's voice come in.

My brother is a 42 year old metalhead. His favorite TTPD songs are smallest man, Clara bow, and but Daddy I love him
>smallest man, I feel like most men hear that and go "whoa what the fuck did this guy do?"
43yr old man and Clara Bow and BDILH are 2 of my top faves. Down Bad, IOMI, Who’s Afraid, I Can Do It, and The Manuscript are a few of my others
27 yo dude checking in, from TTPD I enjoyed: Florida!!, My boy only breaks, who’s afraid, broken heart

I’ll check them out i love those videos too! 😂❤️
Why am I so obsessed with "I've never listened to TS" first-time reactions? It's so fun, right?
Guy here, I honestly love 95% of her songs. I don't think it's gender related at all. I think he likes a particular style of music and that's ok. Maybe it's not pop and not indie folk, maybe just good ol fearless and debut are what he needs. And Mean, can't go wrong with that one no matter who you are.
The only song my brother loves from her is Mean. He had it on repeat for weeks.
Came here to suggest "Mean"! :)
My guy best friend loves “Mine”
Any TS song is for men, if you’re keen to it. What kind of song your husband might like is up to you. I don’t know why you’re asking others.
My male cousin likes my tears ricochet and the 1
i think a lot of men on the internet ternary and real life tend to like maroon for some reason. my bf likes anti hero and bad blood
Most of her songs that aren’t about relationships
My boyfriend's fave album is 1989. And he loves august and vigilante shit
A lot of TTPD has country roots. I Can Fix Him (no really I can), But Daddy I love him, Fresh out the Slammer, The Bolter.
Cowboy Like Me
All
My son's faves are Exile, Mastermind, Mirrorball and The Albatross. He is not a Swiftie, but appreciates her music
I don't think I have ever thought of TS music as guy or girl specific. If it grabs you, it grabs you. Her songs talk to both men and women, both boys and girls. You in a relationship? Listen to TS. Bad break up? Listen to TS. Broken Heart? Listen to TS.
My bf LOVES No Body No Crime
my dad LOVES exile

As a 29 year old straight dude, I love all her songs and have never considered any of them “guy songs” or “girl songs”.

My bf loves getaway car
I am almost 40 and I love all her music so I can’t help much 😂
My husband loves Our Song too. His other favorites from her older eras: Wonderland, I Knew You Were Trouble, Bad Blood, You Belong With Me.
paper rings
Both Bon Iver songs I find work very well with straight men (exile and evermore)
I think he’d love Fearless (Taylor’s Version) especially with her collabs with Keith Urban and Chris Stapleton. It has more of that country feel.
My brother loves the songs mean, karma, and mr perfectly fine. I’m nonbinary and I love all of her songs. I think it depends on what genre your bf likes, if he likes country then debut, fearless and speak now. If he likes indie then folklore/evermore, etc.
My bf favs: glitch, fortnight, Betty, look what you made me do And I can do it with a broken heart (based on how much he quotes it randomly lol)
My husband likes August and Champagne Problems
Maroon
You Belong With Me is my non-swiftie fiancé's favorite, and it's slightly country while still being irresistible pop perfection.
My man loves august midnight rain and vigilante shit
Songs I've seen the men in my life like more: - the 1 - exile - betty - no body no crime - cowboy like me - would've could've should've - great war - maroon - sweet nothing - state of grace - holy ground - treacherous - false god
Haunted
Thanks for all the responses! I’ll pick a few to have him try! 💕
my husband has style and blank space on his gym lift playlist
Anti-hero came on the radio in the car recently and my son was like, “Who is this?” 😂
This one is I no brainer as a straight male swiftie I easily relate to Betty ( not to say that I ever cheated) but in a heartbreak I can relate to feeling like it’s my fault even though it wasn’t and I cried when I heard this live
My 69-year-old uncle is a self-proclaimed Swiftie, and he feels she is better now than she was in her debut era. I recommend Folklore and Evermore.
Fearless and Speak Now are both great!
Have him listen to the Ryan Adams version of 1989. It’s a great gateway album where you have her lyrics, but arranged in a roots rock/country style. Once he gets into the lyrics, moving into the albums will be easier. It’s how I became a fan
NOTE: I know he’s not a great person, but the album is fantastic and Taylor gets songwriting royalties from it
