A Definitive Ranking Of Insane Taylor Swift Moments in 2023 

I thought Taylor standing up for Harry as folks heckled him for winning AOTY was a huge moment.

Taylor taking in Sophie Turner was WILD to me-double Joever

Zachery you’re going to have to STOP posting videos at midnight in Australia. I neeed to go to bed this is ridiculous

One of the best shifts in the Taylor-verse this year is that she is more open to letting us in to her secrets again. She waits until something has died down enough, and then gives us a major reveal (like Jack posting the YLM timeline, or the existence of Is it over now?). I'm thrilled grateful & fed to be allowed back into her secrets after so many years of being more cryptic

The funniest thing about the whole Ratty situation is that it happened IN APRIL, not June 😭 She was broken up and that happened not even two weeks later. Saying "I love you" after two weeks is truly something...

19:00 The one flex I have this year is that I had better seats than Karlie Kloss for Eras Tour.

It’s so crazy how much we’ve seen of Taylor this year when she’d been so private and shut away for so many years before. I only began following Taylor closely around the folklevermore era, so her public image reset was such a welcome surprise.

Your Scooter/Scott prayers and references to Joe as the heirloom turkey never fail to make me laugh. Great video and Taylor Swift content. Thank you!

"because he's never accomplished anything in his life" DRAG HIM LMAO

I think it’s pretty cool that Taylor is making the eras tour so long because she’s going to a bunch of places she’s never been to or hasn’t been to since one of the very early tour runs and the international Swifties deserve it because they’ve been over looked for forever and it’s crazy that it’s taken her until now to go to all these places she’s going to

i’m glad i discovered your channel this year, you make the best swiftie content

I think that when she released the rerecorded versions of Eyes Open, Safe & Sound and If This Was a Movie and the previously leaked All Of The Girls all in one day were worth mentioning. The way she was able to get The Civil Wars back together for a rerecord of an old Hunger Games song, how she literally removed If This Was A Movie from Speak Now TV and Taylor acknowledging a leak and giving us one of the songs from it but completely ignoring Need... I thought it was iconic and they were some of my most streamed songs this year.

This was like my 1st whole calendar year as a full-on swiftie (not just a casual enjoyer of her music) and all I can say is it was PURE delicious chaos.

Nice overall recap of this crazy year. This is not a complaint btw, but there are some of significant moments that came to my mind that you didn't mention in the video: - her appearance at 1975 concert (presumably pre-Joever, out of nowhere) to perform Anti-Hero for the first time (thought there are already enough multiple Swift-Healy moments in this video so maybe we don't need another one lol) - you already mentioned the Eras tour movie of course, but the direct AMC deal (and skipping the major film studios) was said to be revolutionary - the whole Swiftnomics and the billion $ net worth reports thing

i had honestly never been a huge taylor fan, but this year she decided to gun for world domination and i was reeled into the fandom. 😭😭 thank you so much for your messy boots on the ground reporting zac! you helped me navigate her crazy world better than anyone else. here's to u, the unofficial mayor of the taylor nation, for keeping us all in the loop! ur my official tour guide in this taylorverse 👑

i started this year with not a care in the world about taylor swift or what she does to fully being invested in her music, life and just her general well being. what an insane year. so happy to be here and share this experience with so many people, truly a blessing. i wished i found out this is what its like being a swiftie way earlier lol

That top is SLAY. ATE. Whatever it is the kiddos call it now. It looks very nice on you and you look very nice in it.

I'm so glad we finally got not one but two proper Tayoncé moments this year. Publications were still reusing the 2009 VMA pictures for stories of the two of them because any interactions that happened since were captured in blurry pictures, including the 2016 MET Gala carpet pictures. Now it's the Eras Red carpet image for the default.

You should do a tier list ranking pop girliess

The "this song is about you, you know who you are, i love you" is still one of the funniest, most unhinged things to me because it was so obviously just them f*cking with us bc of the rumors that started literally out of nowhere 😂 AND PEOPLE STILL THINK they were actually saying they loved each other or that those songs were abt each other when there's just no way

Thank you for helping to make my 2023 a little bit brighter 💫 Zach, you really do make the whole place shimmer!

The same year that I start to actually follow Taylor is the same year that all this chaos happens, love that for me, and only makes me want to follow along for the next year and many more 😁

I'm so grateful I found your channel this year! Thanks for the hard work and good times!

I recently discover your channel & it has become one of my favorite. Your content is so refreshing & I love you always have constructive criticism. 🩷 Happy 2024 ✨🥂

What a year! Thanks to the Swiftologist's diligence in keeping us fed all throughout 2023. And to mother, Taylor Swift. See you again in 2024, Zach! ❤

Zach, I found your channel via the algorithm during the initial Midnights era frenzy, October 2022. I took a chance clicking on the video (a reaction to the album, I think. I wanted to celebrate the new music with someone who really cared). From there I started listening to Evolution of a Snake, and listened through ALL of the “history of Taylor throughout the years” episodes plus many more. I feel so much joy EVERY time you release a video on here and an episode of the pod, because you bring such a fresh, thoughtful, nuanced perspective to what’s going on in the Taylorsphere and to other pop culture icons and subjects. You have educated me on a ton of the history and lore (even though I’ve been a fan since Debut). Even though I love, love, love her to literal tears, you have helped open my eyes to plenty of things in this arena. I really connect with your personality, and your videos often crack me UP! I admire you so much for your firm boundaries and not letting people bully you for ridiculous things in the comments or elsewhere. Truly good 👏🏻 for 👏🏻 you. 👏🏻 Thank goodness for your independent journalism! You have truly been a bright spot of the last year+, which is so appreciated. I am truly happy that your channel is growing so much because I can’t think of anyone more deserving. May 2024 shower you with adventures, joy, and abundance! 🫶🏻🤍

The mashup of “Is it Over Now” and “OOTW” making the list is EVERYTHING! I lost my mind watching on livestream!

I'm here after TTPD 😂 enjoying all the bangers that came from the Matty Healy affair

your video essays have become my latest addiction. subscribed and ready for all the 2024 content!

What an iconic and phenomenal year for Taylor! Not for me though (in my personal life) 💀 But so happy for our productive Queen!! 👸🏼

January grammy month sounds so intriguing to me. So excited for the content to come in 2024. Your channel, podcast, and patreon is EVERYTHING

The FIT IS FIIIIIITTTINGGGG. Swiftie you look AMAZING

2023 began with Taylor performing at The 1975 concert in January in the very bejeweled dress 👀 And then there was iHeartRadio Music Awards. I really liked the outfit!

Thank you, I love your videos about Taylor. I also have to say the top you are wearing is stunning. Everything about it. Love it!

I found your channel towards the end of this year but I have already watched almost all the videos. Your channel is one of the highlights of this year! Thank you for all the content! 💜

We should have known this year would be chaotic. When it literally started with Taylor performing at The 1975 concert out of nowhere. We should have known...

2023 was truly for the history books, this was such an amazing year to be a Swiftie. What´s crazy is that during any one month happened more than during first 3 years of this decade, We´ve really been fed after so many years. I´m super excited for 2024 and i think the best way how to start the year will be finally win Song Of The Year at the Grammys, fingers crossed it´ll finally happen.

Dear Swiftologist Thank you for making my Sunday 10000% better

Zack, thank you for all of the amazing content you have put out this year, you have singlehandedly revived my Swiftiesm and I could not be more grateful (I unfortunately ended up abandoning ship in the Lover era, can you blame me?)! Her and her crazy antics bring such lighthearted fun into my life 😄 I can’t wait to go see her floor seats when she visits Stockholm! I wish you an amazing holiday! ❄️😊

Zach.. your ranking videos are the besstt!!! 🥰❤

Your videos are literally my favorite. You're so smart and talented, thanks for sharing your magic with us. Every video is such a gem!

What a great, chaotic, unhinged year. Thanks for being our guide, Zach! Hope everyone has a great holiday, and cheers to 2024! ❤ 🥂 🐍

Meanwhile that blue outfit along with the blue folklore with the cape sleeves are my 2 favorite outfits. Cape Sleeves have been in my wedding folder since June and I'm looking at fabric to make the other outfit.

Thank you for your videos this year, such a highlight for me

you’re so entertaining i could watch you yapping for hours and hours

Thank you, Zach. 2023 was the year that I found your channel and needless to say that we learnt so much from you and your analytical skills and of course, about our beloved pop star in charge! Have a wonderful holiday! 😍🙏🏻🎄 you are the best! 🏆 🥇 🎤

It’s 2AM in London and I’m staying up for Zachery’s best video yet 😂🎉

20:29 "i promise that youll never find another like.... me hee hee.... hu hu and furthermore hu" I CRIEDDDDD THE PAIN IN YOUR VOICE WAS HILARIOUS

I agree. Originally Taylor planned a music video for Slut but, unfortunately, it didn’t go as planned…

The day I discovered your channel was my lucky day! I adore your videos ❤❤

Zach!! Please make an iceberg video about Taylor that would be so fun and interesting!

Cant believe Zach is on his way to 100k!!

1000000% Foolish One is the best SN vault track, yes yes yes

6:23 I’m actually never gonna believe anything until u post about it

GAGGED. Zach, thank you so much for creating this space. Phenomenal video as per usual.

this year was so unhinged and i definitely think next year will be even moreso especially with rep tv… the context we’ll hopefully get with those vaults will be interesting i’m reeeeally hoping the eras tour extends into 2025. i’m a Canadian swiftie who can’t afford to travel outside of the country and the whole handling and announcing of Canadian dates was such an insane mess. for those who don’t know, she announced six dates in Toronto which had the whole of Canada vying for tickets since that’s the only city she’s come to for the past few tours and then a month or two later she announced three dates in Vancouver which also had the whole of Canada vying for them and now everyone who did manage to get tickets are trying to trade for whichever show is closest to them and there’s still a bunch of us who got waitlisted. I’ve come to the realization that I’ll probably have to be doing a lot of acceptance work in therapy because it doesn’t seem likely I’ll be seeing the show live… at least I can RENT the movie on prime for $20 🤡

thank you jesus, this video was a moment most pleasing to me lol. super fun to revisit all these iconic moments!

Can you please help me understand the title “heirloom turkey”? I don’t disagree. I’ve spent time researching what an heirloom turkey is but I just don’t understand. Need a full explanation for those of us who are accountants and not good with words.

Zac is just so chaotic and I love it

I will be forever grateful to Taylor for singing the Is it over Now x OOTW mashup on my show, 11/11 ♥️🇦🇷 we literally won

the whole matty and taylor thing was so unhinged i cant believe it actually happened

I feel blessed because I went to the night where the [IION mashup OOTW + Karma is the guy on the chiefs + Her running to kiss Travis] happened

At the moment when it was happening the Matty and Taylor relationship seemed so unhinged, but after time has gone by I find myself loving the moment when Matty dedicated "About You" to Taylor. The romantic in me loves the idea of Matty loving Taylor from afar after so many years after their original fling. Isn't this how we all want are ex's to be? 😅 *Also will never stop coming after John Mayer-he's a menace bahahaha *Also love Foolish One

No no, Zach, you have to keep it going until the 31st. I don't know what I'll do with my life if I don't receive more of your content during the holidays.

The fact that ALL OF THIS HAPPENED IN ONE YEAR…time isn’t real. We have been through it and we deserve a severance package, esp nodaysoffologist

Discovering your channel and podcast was truly one of the best moments of my year. I have been searching for years for a Swiftie content creator that is insightful and entertaining!

So happy to be subscribed and notified when you post a new video 🤓

Cannot waaaait to see your fits for the Eras Tour 2024! Love your content, thank you for doing what you do 🩵🩵

Honestly been in Argentina at the Eras tour when she sang the mash up of Is it over now? and OOTW was the best moment of my year lol

Thank you Zac! Happy Holidays

The most charming and witty Swiftologist.

“Heirloom Turkey slander never stops on this channel” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

thank you for all the wonderful videos this year Zach, happy holidays! 🤍

Great video as always, but mainly came down to the comments to say: damn what a shirt! 10/10 Happy holdiays and a great new year.

I love how you refer to Joe as a turkey LOLOL

So happy I found your channel this year. Thank you for all your hard work

That shirt is slayyyyying!!!

It’s been so fun to watch and rewatch all your videos! It’s insane what Taylor swift, EOAS and you have done this year! I really hope we can meet during one of the Singapore shows next year!! Happy new year, and I am eagerly waiting for your videos right where you left me :D ❤❤

Happy Holidays! Thank you for all the amazing content!

You are going to keep going strong! Scooter ain’t see nutin’ yet!!!

The Ashley content you guys have made is my sleep companion for MANY many nights. I put it on and it's all so insane and funny that my brain just shuts off ❤️

please do more swifite eras outfit reviews next year that was so much fun (like doing each leg of tour)

I am obsessed with the prayer today

Thank you for speaking the truth about Foolish One and the Speak Now vault tracks!!!

Zach, you really never EVER miss when it comes to content. You come out with videos that I’ve been wanting at the perfect time. Are you a mind reader? ❤🔮🔮

Thanks for the analysis! Follow-up question… You mentioned the Eras tour (and everything surrounding it this year) changed the way you perceive T.S. I’d be interested to know how and why? BTW: If you’ve already addressed this in another video -sorry! I try to keep up with your videos, but I miss one from time to time. I’d be more than happy to be pointed to any existing videos.😊 Thanks again and happy holidays!

"me he he he ... ho ho and furthermore, ho."

Please do another pop culture year in review. 2022 video was so fucking funny

I would've loved to hear you talking about the Eras tour in Latin America. It was a huge thing for us, it was her first time being here. I went to the concert in Mexico City. Also something absolutely tragic happened in Brazil when a fan died, I think those things were also really important :/

THANK YOU FOR THIS MEAL WERE ABOUT TO RECEIVE (how i feel when there's a new swiftologist video)

I love the lavender haze video !!!

One of my favourite parts of these ranking videos are simply Zach’s iconic tier names, they’re just too good 😂

I love Zach so much hes literally teaching me (a new fan) to not be a overobsessed swiftie ❤

Oh correction, it wasn’t the 3am edition with hits different and more Lana Del Rey. That was the Til’ Dawn edition. 3AM just gave us the extra tracks ending with Dear Reader, which is still the perfect album closer and the essence of midnights for me, as it feels like a song she would’ve written at 3am.

As a new swiftie you made sure I was fed and I can’t be more grateful merry Christmas

thanks for all the content this year!

THANK YOU FOR SAYING FOOLISH ONE IS THE BEST VAULT SONG 😭 cuz it's so true. Everyone says Timeless (which is great) but Foolish One is ITTT

Thank you for your service also Zach. What a year. It is not over yet and I am sure Taylor will do something else that you will have to address.🥰

i was present when taylor performed the one for the 1st time .. GAG

Yessss~ Love these TS 2023 moments compilations ranking from you 🤩 & may SB stay far far farrrrrrr away from you.
