The Most Healing Taylor Swift Song From Each Album
As I patiently wait for the release of Midnights, I thought that it would be fun to pour over TaylorSwift’s entire discography and choose what I believe are her top 10 songs for healing.
We all know that Taylor Swift has the uncanny ability to make us feel SEEN. So depending on what you’re going through, any song she has written has potential to heal.
But it wasn’t until I sat down and examined each of her albums that I realized how many therapeutic interventions, metaphors, and lessons can be found in her music.
So, after much time and deliberation, I have chosen what I believe to be Dr. Swift’s most healing songs by selecting 1 from each of her albums, plus 1 from The Vault to make it an even 10.
Before I delve in, please keep in mind that you 1000% do not have to agree with this list!
Whatever Taylor Swift songs you think are the best for healing are valid.
Learning to trust yourself and what works for you is an important piece of one’s healing journey.

Does anyone remember the #6 song in America in 1991? I’ll give you a hint…the artist had a mullet at the time.
That song would be “Place In This World” by the legendary Michael W. Smith. for KING + COUNTRY have brought this song back to life 34 YEARS LATER with their own version in collaboration with Michael himself. This is the first song released on the soundtrack for the upcoming film,

Unsung Hero
tells the story of how Luke and Joel Smallbone’s mother and father immigrated to America from Australia and raised 6 kids (including this duo and their sister Rebecca St. James) to start a new life.
The lyrics of this song perfectly capture the journey of the Smallbone family’s heart in this movie.
“The wind is moving but I am standing still. A life of pages waiting to be filled. A heart that’s hopeful, a head that’s full of dreams. But this becoming is harder than it seems. Feels like I’m, looking for a reason, roaming through the night to find, my place in this world.” | Michael W. Smith

Today is Taylor's 23rd birthday! Happy Birthday Taylor! In honor of her birthday the meaning of today's song is "A Place In This World" from her "Taylor Swift" album.
It's about Taylor and her desire to find a place in this world through her music.
"I was thirteen when I wrote the song "A Place In This World" and I was just kind of looking around at all these big buildings and all these important people and wondering how I was going to fit in."
In the beginning of the song Taylor is doubtful and unsure of what she wants, "I don't know what I want, so don't ask me/Cause I'm still trying to figure it out." In the middle of the song she knows that "I'm just a girl, trying to find a place is/This world/And tomorrow's just a mystery, oh yeah." By the end of the song she is more confident and expresses this thought
"Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission/But I'm ready to fly"
knowing she needs to find her place in this world.

What was her place in this world? What did she want more than anything?
In "A Place In This World" documentary Taylor says, "My big dream is to look out into
I don't know what I want, so don't ask me
Cause I'm still trying to figure it out
Don't know what's down this road
I'm just walking
Trying to see through the rain coming down
Even though I'm not the only one
Who feels the way I do
[Chorus]
I'm alone, on my own
And that's all I know,
I'll be strong, I'll be wrong
Oh, but life goes on
Oh, I'm just a girl
Trying to find a place in this world
Got the radio on, my old blue jeans
And I'm wearing my heart on my sleeve
Feeling lucky today, got the sunshine
Could you tell me what more do I need?
And tomorrow's just a mystery, oh yeah
But that's okay
[Chorus]
Maybe I'm just a girl on a mission
But I'm ready to fly
I'm alone, on my own
And that's all I know
Oh, I'll be strong, I'll be wrong
Oh, but life goes on
Oh, I'm alone, on my own
And that's all I know
Oh, I'm just a girl
Trying to find a place in this world
Oh, I'm just a girl
Oh, I'm just a girl, oh, oh
Oh, I'm just a girl
