1. "So It Goes..."
   "I Did Something Bad"

1. "Safe and Sound"
   "Don't Blame Me"
2. "Dress"
   "Blank Space"

"Blank Space" performed well on the music charts and took the top spot on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. In doing so, Swift was the first female artist to replace herself at the top, as "Shake It Off" had held the space before it was replaced.

1. "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together"
   "You Belong With Me"
2. "I Knew You Were Trouble"
   "Blank Space"

1. "I Think He Knows"
   "Hey Stephen"
2. "All You Had to Do Was Stay"
   "Mine"

"Mine" was originally supposed to be released on August 18, 2010. After the song was leaked to the internet, however, Swift moved the release date up to August 4th, as a means to beat the leak.

1. "I Think He Knows"
   "Cornelia Street"
2. "Lover"
   "London Boy"

1. "Beautiful Eyes"
   "Gorgeous"
2. "End Game"
   "...Ready for It?"

The opening sounds of "Gorgeous" involve a young child uttering the title. The child in the track is James, the daughter of Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively. James loved the lyrics, so Taylor included her in the song.

1. "Love Story"
   "All Too Well"
2. "Breathe"
   "New Year's Day"

While searching for a castle to film the music video for "Love Story," Swift and her video team considered going to Europe to find one that would be safe enough to work in. Luckily, Castle Gwynn, located in Nashville, was found.

1. "Red"
   "Treacherous"

   "Our Song"
2. "How You Get the Girl"

1. "Mary's Song"
   "Holy Ground"
2. "Never Grow Up"
   "Best Day"

Written for her mother, Andrea Swift, Taylor wrote and recorded the song in secret, surprising her mother on Christmas. Because her mom would cry every time Taylor sang it, "Best Day" had to be taken off the Fearless tour setlist.

1. "False God"
   "Me!"
2. "Daylight"
   "It's Nice to Have a Friend"

The music video for "Me!" was released on April 26, 2019, and reached 65.2 million views in the first 24 hours alone. This broke the record that was previously held by "Thank U, Next" by Ariana Grande.

1. "Don't Blame Me"
   "Haunted"

   "I Forgot That You Existed"
2. "Death by a Thousand Cuts"
