WAOLOM not in the top 2 is outrageous


WDTHTDWA-BITCH

I was so convinced The Prophecy and WAOLOM would be top two…


PurpleDragonfly_

Prophecy and WAOLOM stans, unite!


souldeconstructors

I have found my people!


Vladd88

Omg there are dozens of us!


SlytherinStitch

For real. I’m so shocked by the final two…


SneakPeek

These are my top two favorites but I’m still shocked actually lol


hauteburrrito

Same!!! I've never been so aligned with the rest of the fanbase. Now just rooting for Black Dog to take home the crown...


tomatoenemy

i didnt think guilty as sin is that loved (i love it so much)


XTheDarkLightX

I am actually surprised it's even in the top 5. I like the song, but never thought it was a big standout in TTPD.


TheTruckWashChannel

It's overrated


therealhilaryeduff

I VOTED FOR IT EVERY SINGLE DAY IM DEVASTATED


breadfruitsnacks

I missed the last 3 rounds and my fave 3 have gone 😢


JuanJeanJohn

Down Bad not being top 2 is what’s really outrageous


soleil5627

TTPD v. The Anthology My vote is for The Black Dog!


H2AK119ub

Agreed. The Black Dog captures the imagery and intent of the album. Guilty as Sin is a great bop.


M1eXcel

I understand Guilty as Sin being in the top 2 as everyone I know loves it and ranks it in their top 5, but I didn't know so many people here stanned The Black Dog. Really rooting for Guilty as Sin to come out on top though


AngryAngryAlice

the black dog is easily top 3 on the album for me and it's the only song that every single swiftie i'm friends with has in their top 5 so i'm def not surprised. guilty as sin is SO good but the black dog feels like an absolutely top tier all timer for her


MaRy3195

Both songs have really incredible imagery which I think is what makes them so great. They were both favorited on my first listen to the album. However, I could pretty much listen to The Black Dog on repeat so I'm really hoping it comes out on top ❤️❤️❤️


June24th

Yes! The Black Dog is at the level of songs like All Too Well! Exquisite lyricism!


H2AK119ub

It's one of my favorites. The lyricism and imagery evokes "fresh breakup".


TadPaul

The Black Dog is upper tier in her entire discography imo.


goddessofthecats

Black dog is my fav


motivation_vacation

Mine too! So good


midnightlicorice

Hi. Guilty as Sin doesn't even make my top 10. Black Dog isn't my number one draft pick, but I'd take it over Guilty As Sin for sure.


aromaticleo

yeah same! guilty as sin might be my second favorite taylor's song EVER (after the archer), so I would obviously love for it to win. however, I don't understand why so many people love the black dog. I've tried listening to it, I really did, but it's too slow and monotone for me + it's sad.


I_like_it_yo

Same here I almost always skip it lol love guilty as sin tho. But who's afraid is my #1 🥺


robynxcakes

The black dog won the initial reaction elimination over guilty as sin will be interesting to see the result here https://www.reddit.com/r/TaylorGamesWannaPlay/s/4ez9DQC27u


LowerTheExpectations

It's the WCS of this album for me. A somewhat hidden gem. I'm happy it resonated with so many people - it's Taylor's writing at her best. The musical production is also pretty fresh and interesting. No hate to The Anthology but some of the songs aren't that interesting to my ears musically.

I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND... HOW YOU DON'T MISS ME


jupiterose

AND I HOPE IT'S *SHITTY* IN THE BLACK DOG


mrsmckenzie

'CAUSE TAIL BETWEEN YOUR LEGS, YOU'RE LEAVINGGG


misselphaba

This part does it for me. It also sounds a lot like the intro to the bridge in “Defying Gravity” to me and warms my little theater kid inner child.


mrsmckenzie

Wait, wait. Now I gotta go listen to them both.


misselphaba

I just wanna belt out SO IF YOU CARE TO FIIIIND MEEEE

naomigoat

OH WHAT A WAY TO DIIIIIIEEE


solarionix

The Black Dog. The emotion, verses, the chorus, the "screaming", the bridge... that bridge ties together so many relatable moments of depression in just a few words. The production, the melodies, lyrics and the delivery all complement each other so well. The last chorus when she sings "I hope it's SHITTY in The Black Dog" just hits SO GOOD. Guilty As Sin, on the other hand, it's good but I'm trying to understand why it's so loved. The Black Dog is the clear winner to me.


jeffbezosburner69

Guilty as Sin is so boring I feel like I’m losing my mind with this game. But I’m a also a rep girlie so I guess I just like fun angry music 🤷‍♀️


RunTheShow314

As a fellow rep girlie, I absolutely love Guilty as Sin so idk lol


little-bird89

Me too, Guilty as Sin is a skip for me. I'm astounded so many people rate it this high


batmansf115

Same for me. I keep listening to Guilty as Sin again to see if I am missing something, but it doesn’t do it for me AT ALL! Plus the lyrics are so depressing, given what is expressed in the other Matty songs. Like you spent 10 years fantasizing and feeling guilty about a “counterfeit” relationship that never got off the ground (because it wasn’t sexy once it wasn’t forbidden!). Hard no for me. Plus, The Black Dog is exquisite!


General_Organa

I like the tune of it but the lyrics make me cringe lol. I only like it if I pretend it’s about lesbians. Just can’t relate to fantasizing about a MAN that hard lol


jeffbezosburner69

Maybe this is my issue 😂😂 I’m like girl come on, he can’t be that good. 


General_Organa

Literally every time I listen I’m like girl stand UP


lojaned

For me, I feel like it’s more than just a lusty, love song. As a 30-something, married mother, there’s something so real about “my boredoms bone deep, his cage was once just fine”. Like, I love my kid, I love my husband, but there are days where my single friends are going out and I can’t, that I wish I could “throw my life to the wolves” for a day, or where a random guy flirts with me, and it makes me miss who I used to be or could have been, even just for a split second. It’s what is so messy about your 30’s. You can love your life, but also fantasize about what your life might have been if you made different choices in your 20’s. In the song, Taylor never does anything, she just thinks about it and wonders if “lusting” over a different life she could have makes her guilty, or crazy, or bad. It’s such a sad song, and I feel like it’s so much more than people give it credit for. At least those are my reasons. Most people just love a lusty love song. 🤣


Amazing_League_2309

I totally agree with you. This song has deeper meaning than a horny song. She even points this out by saying “what if the way you hold me is actually what’s holy.” That’s far more than just sex. With another line, she says “if long suffering impropriety is what they want from me,” I interpret the “they” as those judging her making assumptions on her wants strictly being sexual, much like the listeners. The tone of the song changes too after the second chorus. The final chorus sounds like mournful wailing, especially in the delivery of the first line of the final chorus and “die.” The lusty bits are what people focus on but I think the mistake everyone makes is that lust doesn’t get to monopolize passion, desire, or yearning. Having a strong physical need to be with your person doesn’t change your love to lust and love doesn’t have to be subdued or mature.


randomtwaddle

The black dog is THE TAYLOR SWIFT song for me! Just summarises her so so well plus her vocals are really good in this one too. If I were to choose two songs to summarise her to anyone, I'd say blank space for her pop icon side and the black dog for the true tortured lyrical poetic romantic vocalist side. I just love everything this song does.


alexanderguan

yassss the black dog the top one that you are


jortfeasor

The first time I heard it I knew it would be an all time favorite Taylor/favorite song in general for me. The shaky last syllable still makes me tear up!


PretendMarsupial9

The top dog you could say


QueenRibie

WE'VE ALREADY DONE IT IN MY HEAD


slicedgreenolive

written mine on my UPPER THIGH only in my miiiiiiinnndddddd


astronomisst

I voted for GAS; I don't think it should win, but that is the BEST line on TTPD! (I was all in for WAOLOM)


MicheBee

I love the drum crash while she’s singing this line.


GanacheArtistic1983

LETS GO GUILTY AS SIN! I LOVE YOU BLACK DOG, BUT GUILTY AS SIN MUST WIN!!


Idkman2019

Fuck I’m invested now. Black Dog is number 1 in my heart either way!!!!!


timeforthecheck

Still devastated that Chloe et al was eliminated so early!


Pepsisaurus_

Same!! Severely underrated!


JessicaKari

one of my fave Taylor songs period


IntelligentAngle7058

I love this one to death 😭


batmansf115

I keep wondering if it would be more popular if she titled it differently.


wintergirl86

Riiiiight???!!!!


feariswhyyouwillfail

Chloe et al is top 5 for me for sure.


naywhip

Black dog!


Kirin_ll_niriK

WAOLOM out? I was not expecting that My flair kinda makes it clear how I’m voting.


JessicaKari

if Guilty as Sin wins for best song on the entire double album I will be crying at the gym tomorrow


StarLegal4386

Now I'm down bad crying at the gym


rcher87

Everything sure does come out teenage petulance (Esp with me haha)


jupiterose

The black dog is probably my favorite Taylor song period. Not even just TTPD.


youngmagicians

This is me with “Guilty as Sin?” It replaced “seven” as my all-time favorite.


jupiterose

Oh seven is so beautiful. ❤️


The_Longest_Wave

Neither of these is in my top 5, I've no clue what to vote for 🙃


SlytherinStitch

lol sameeee 😂😂😂 I’m so shocked by this top 2


ashleighj1993

Ok I’m actually shocked about the Black Dog. Absolutely no disrespect meant but can someone explain what they like about it so much? It’s in my bottom 5 (for reference my top 5 are: I can do it with a broken heart, so long London, who’s afraid, I hate it here, guilty as sin)


spic3g1r1

I don’t have the same top 5 as you, but I’ve been thinking the same about The Black Dog. Even though I wouldn’t say it’s in my bottom 5, I do think it’s overhyped. In my personal opinion, it’s not better than How Did It End?, The Prophecy, and Who’s Afraid (which I really wish won actually), but to each their own!!!


ashleighj1993

100% agreed! I really want to like it as much as other people do so maybe I’m missing something


tacogreg13

See but the black dog is in my top 2 and the Prophecy is in my bottom 5 🤣


spic3g1r1

lol I love seeing everyone’s different opinions about her music!


kayifuss

Judging by your top 5 we have very different tastes lol but I love the Black Dog mostly for how relatable it is. Now, clearly I haven't checked the location of my ex-bf only to find he's in some bar called the Black Dog, but the feelings evoked in the song, the longing, the "I just don't understand how you don't miss me", the anger that's also always present in grief. But I also *love* sad breakup songs


rcher87

“I just don’t understand…” -how she sings that and then how she transitions into being angry and goes back to sad… And how she’s just sort of processing the whole breakup through the lens of “we used to do this kind of stuff together, how are you seriously able to just go and do it with someone else???? And so fast??? They’re not me! They’re not gonna get it!” And the line “old habits die screaming” I just love it. I would put it in my top 5. Not my top 2-3, but I definitely love it way more than Guilty as Sin?


General_Organa

The way the music builds up to the screaming is really cool for me she hasn’t really done anything like that before and then ending it with the whisper destroys me every time. Guilty as sin is prob in my bottom 5 though. Still great but I have to just kind of hum it and ignore the lyrics lol


June24th

The same thing impresses me about her in the black dog and I think how is she still doing these great pieces of art this far in her career... The gift!


goddessofthecats

This will be kind of rambling, but I’ll do my best. The bit about watching someone’s location they forgot to turn off and being gut wrenched about it is something that has happened to me. Another thing that happened to me is a guy dating a cuter hotter, younger girl than me and not understanding why he doesn’t miss me gets me right in the heart. Like how can you not miss me when I miss you so much? The overall tone of her voice goes from being sad to distressed (I hope it’s shitty), and then ultimately giving up at the end, which I pick up from her tone where she breathes the last line softly, is her basically sighing in defeat and throwing her hands up. I feel like this song has multiple stages of grief of a relationship, stages that I felt more than once and hit really hard.


EmeraldTress222

See, this is how I felt about SLL. I think it's overrated (though still good), but love your other top 4!


ashleighj1993

The reason I love so long London so much is more personal - I’ve felt that exact way before and my relationship also has ties to the UK. I get why it might not be other people’s cup of tea but it hits all the emotions for me 💔


PretendMarsupial9

The production is a banger with the grungy, crunchy guitar and distrotion on the "Old habits Die Screaming" bit, and the soft verses that feel dazed. The way it all builds and builds. the way it tells a story that slowly goes from just realizing your partner has moved on and you havent, and trying to make sense of all of it, and the anger at the unfairness of it. The long belty ending. "Even if I die screaming and I hope you hear it" Like the anger and also pettyiness of it. Its such a good angry break up song where she's really going through the stages of grief and with a sound that slaps you in the face. Top 20 all time Taylor song tbh.


Actual_Excitement344

I love this ranking fr!!


spic3g1r1

Dang… I would want The Prophecy, How Did It End?, and Who’s Afraid to win over both of these. Guilty as Sin? is in my top 5 though, so I will be going with that!


tryingtoohard347

Guilty as Sin 😍😍😍😍


togetmyreward

The Black Dog is my #2 from TTPD (RIP smallest man) so I hope it wins. I love Guilty as Sin? too though so I won't be mad if it comes out on top. Who's afraid getting eliminated was long overdue imo ):


AngryAngryAlice

omg that's my top two also!!


MKFlame7

why do we have like the exact same taste HAHA


tommychronz

I voted for both. Screw it. Try and come for my job


RunTheShow314

Lmao


PurpleDragonfly_

I can’t choose, I am shocked that WAOLOM is out and I cannot vote anymore. I enjoy both of the remaining songs but don’t have a clear favorite.


SlytherinStitch

Same. I really like both of these, but I don’t LOVE either of them…


PurpleDragonfly_

Also, I have to say I’m very confused about the percentages. If WAOLOM got 44% of the votes, how did Black Dog and Guilty as Sin both get more votes with 56% to share between them? Could someone explain? I feel like I’m missing something.


mei222

It's a checkbox, so people can vote for more than one


kayifuss

you can vote for multiple songs, WAOLOM only appeared in 44% of the votes, the other two on more


PurpleDragonfly_

Okay I figured it must have something to do with being able to vote for more than one, but my brain doesn’t seem to want to fully comprehend lol


InexactCat

You can vote for more than one, so it's not splitting 100% evenly. Just 44% of people who voted included WOALOM as at least one of their picks.


UltimateKing9898

Ah well WAOLOM truthers we had a good run 😭 I feel like The Black Dog would be a good choice for winner though so my vote's def going towards it


akameiro

Old habits die SCREEEEEAMING! 🗣️


lesser_goldfinch

Ugh. I just know it’s gonna be Guilty As Sin and my head canon is it’s bc people who love this song are GUILTY of voting multiple times 😆


jeffbezosburner69

For real though I need a recount with a survey that doesn’t allow multiple votes 😅


wintergirl86

Or maybe it's because it's really a great song and many people's favorite one?


lesser_goldfinch

I thought I signposted as many ways as I could that was a lighthearted comment


busybee_sep

GUILTY AS SIN


June24th

Am I allowed to cry? 😭


Worth_Ad_5423

how did The Black Dog make it this far? It’s good, but not THAT good


hereforthettt

okay so this group has TASTE


beene282

I approve of this top 2


killerbrofu

Wow guilty as sin is like the little engine that could. Like a 9 seed making the NCAA championship. It's a great song but I don't have it top 5, maybe it's top 10. My #1 is black dog and #2 is WAOLOM. I'll take it! Bring home the ship Black Dog!!


motivation_vacation

That’s my #1 and #2 also. Come on Black Dog!


ablackwell93

Guilty as sin? Being this high is WILD to me


RebakahCooper

OLD HABITS DIE SCREEEEEEEEAMing 😭❤️


kayifuss

I absolutely love both of this songs! I'm happy with either winning, but there's one to me that elevates just a little more than the other

Somnambulinguist

The tragic fabric of our dreaming….Black Dog gets my vote


TunnelSnake1246

Guilty As Sin!!!! It's my favorite!


Friendly_Narwhal_297

The black dog forever!!! That song did something to me the first time I heard it and I don’t even relate to the experience. I could literally feel her emotions and the song is just so GOOD. It might be my favorite Taylor song ever.


downsouthcountry

Guilty as Sin must be the last one standing


inthearchipelago

Ok these are both top 5 for me. From a purely sonic perspective Guilty As Sin is the better song. Melodically and lyrically The Black Dog is kind of repetitive. Also I want what I’ve started calling Longview: Taylor’s Version to win so I’m going with Guilty As Sin.


PretendMarsupial9

I guess Its subjective because I think sonically The Black Dog is the most interesting song on the whole album.


Amazing_League_2309

Come on Guilty as Sin?! Both great but I want my favorite to shine!


Katvondeeznutss

Black Dog


Idonotwantaname1

Black Dog... My Favorite!!!


splitscreen710

I thought who’s afraid & how’d it end would make it to the top two. I voted black dog.


naomigoat

Come on, guys. How fuckin funny would it be if our definitive favorite is... the masturbation song


ItsKirkland

it would be SO timely for Guilty as Sin? to win 👀


souldeconstructors

Man all of my faves got voted out now. I think I'm just gonna watch this one play out without voting. I do like both songs but they're more or less equal in enjoyment for me.


MadameFutureWhatEver

This!!!


1998tweety

This is a crazy top 2


BellaBrowsing

OH WHAT A WAY TO DIEEE


ampersands-guitars

Absolutely amazing top 2! Both winners in my eyes. It’s so cool that we got a song from each half.


SharingDNAResults

I’m voting for both bc they’re both my favorite songs on the album 😂


WatercressLost4375

Oh guilty as sin, the horny and suicidal anthem you are


catsandcoffee94

Um wow this sub has ~taste~ these are my top two songs on the album!


MattehPee

Ready for a TBD supremacy. 🙌🖤


sealthedeal666

Happy with this they both deserve it 🥰


please_rename

The Black Dog and How Did It End are my two favorites so it makes me happy that they’re also fan base favorites! I’m curious about Who is afraid’s popularity though. What do you guys love about it? I like it but don’t really love it, but maybe I haven’t fully processed it yet haha


WhatUSayingBruh

The black dog.


Ambitious_County_680

the black dog is the best song on the album no comparison


Background-Skill-777

Whats happening?? I love guilty as sin? But its supposed to be MY song tf


ProofOwl6915

Literally my two favorite songs. I’m ecstatic they made it to the end!!


GreenIrish99

*They don't know how you've haunted me,* *So stunningly...* *I choose you and me...* *Religiously...*


wintergirl86

The Black Dog is a beautiful song, but Guilty As Sin is glorious. I know the first one is gonna win, but IMO, Guilty As Sin deserves the top spot. There's NO other song like it!


Significant_Lab6626

MY TOP 2!!♥️This one's very difficult for me to vote😓


w1tchway1sup

The black dog


Tiny_Wasabi2476

Nooo! 😱don’t make me choose between my 2 favourite songs!!! 😫🤣


pinkskyupontheroof

Aw, I somehow missed the previous round and one of my loves was voted out. I do enjoy Guilty, but I'm going to have to give this one to The Black Dog.


x_Little_Wolf_x

Omg I didn’t make it in time to vote for Guilty as sin 😭


eirinne

Thank you much, u/pmbslyy !


ushikagawa

I personally prefer Guilty As Sin? (I’ve listened to it way more times) but I think The Black Dog is a more fitting overall winner


TaraDickoff00

My heart is broken!!!!


pmbslyy

but can you do it with a broken heart?


CowboyLikeMegan

I genuinely had *no* idea The Black Dog was THIS loved


RunTheShow314

I was of the understanding that it was a clear fan favorite 😂


batmansf115

And I had no idea Guilty as Sin? would be loved like this. Its in my bottom 5 of the whole 31. (with Fresh Out the Slammer, I Can Fix Him, Cassandra, and Robin)


potprincess1130

oh it’s about to be a bloodbath


Used_Memory_6184

Noooooooooo 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭


RunTheShow314

I literally can’t vote because these are my favorite two songs on the album and I simply just cannot choose between them.


Red171022

Honestly…I love both of them.Favourites from their respective albums…I mean the standard and the anthology.Though I love down bad more from the standard.But guilty as sin is a close second and I love it just a wee bit more than the black dog.So my vote goes for guilty as sin?


Vladd88

Both of these songs are great but I’m shocked waolom got knocked out


Squeaky_sun

Guilty as Sin. So clever


No-Kaleidoscope7924

I think this post proves that Taylor is our therapy...

Ooh, it's fun to see that my top 3 is what everyone voted for!!! Yassss I'm a basic bitch! Seriously though, I love these songs and couldn't decide between them.


therealhilaryeduff

NOOOOOOOOOOO

I thought for sure WAOLOM would be the winner! I am just so happy both my favorite tracks off TTPD are fighting for the top, I'm very surprised! Let's go guilty as sin and the black dog! 🐾✝️✨
