Taylor Swift’s career has spanned genres, decades, and more Hot 100 entries than any other female artist in history. From her country beginnings to her polished pop reinventions, Swift has crafted a catalog of songs that have defined eras, sparked trends, and broken records—often all at once.
While every Swiftie has their own list of favorites, this ranking is based purely on Billboard Hot 100 performance through December 2024. That includes weeks at No. 1, longevity in the top 10, and overall chart impact. Here are the 10 biggest Billboard Hot 100 hits of Taylor Swift’s career (so far).
Swift’s moody collaboration with Zayn for the Fifty Shades Darker soundtrack marked her first new music after 1989 and quickly became a chart force. The sultry slow-burn climbed to No. 2 in early 2017, powered by its steamy music video and cinematic edge. Its dark-pop production showed another facet of Swift’s versatility—and helped solidify her status as a pop heavyweight in every lane.
9. “Bad Blood” (feat. Kendrick Lamar)
Drama met mainstream appeal in this fiery diss track, elevated to No. 1 on the Hot 100 by its all-star music video and Kendrick Lamar’s fierce verses. A highlight of the 1989 era, “Bad Blood” ruled the airwaves in 2015, further proving that Swift could turn personal feuds into pop culture gold—and chart-topping success.
8. “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together”
Swift’s first No. 1 hit on the Hot 100 was a full embrace of her pop potential. With its punchy hook and spoken-word sass, this Red era anthem spent three weeks at the top in 2012. It not only marked a turning point in her sound but became a generational breakup classic for anyone refusing to go through one more emotional rollercoaster.
7. “I Knew You Were Trouble.”
Another standout from Red, this genre-blending hit debuted at No. 3 and peaked at No. 2, helped along by its glitchy dubstep production and emotionally charged lyrics. Swift’s performance of the track at the 2012 AMAs cemented its status as a turning point—both sonically and stylistically—in her evolution from country star to global pop phenomenon.
6. “Love Story”
With its Shakespearean theme and sweeping melody, this 2008 hit remains one of Swift’s most iconic songs. “Love Story” reached No. 4 on the Hot 100 and became a crossover smash, ushering country-pop into the mainstream and making Swift a household name long before her first No. 1. It’s still a staple at weddings, proms, and Swift’s live shows.
5. “Blank Space”
One of her sharpest satires, “Blank Space” reigned at No. 1 for seven weeks in late 2014 and early 2015. Swift masterfully played the tabloid version of herself, pairing biting lyrics with a meme-worthy video. The success of this 1989 standout proved she wasn’t just dominating pop—she was redefining it.
4. “You Belong With Me”
This country-pop crossover made Swift a star across genres, peaking at No. 2 on the Hot 100 in 2009. Its relatability, catchy chorus, and high school-themed music video resonated with fans everywhere. The song’s radio ubiquity and emotional clarity helped cement Swift’s reputation as a master of teen heartbreak anthems.
3. “Anti-Hero”
“Anti-Hero” debuted at No. 1 in October 2022 and logged eight total weeks at the summit. With its self-aware lyrics and infectious chorus—“It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me”—the Midnights lead single became an instant Swift classic. It was also the anchor of her history-making Hot 100 top 10 sweep and her longest-reigning solo No. 1 hit to date.
2. “Cruel Summer”
Originally released in 2019 on Lover, “Cruel Summer” didn’t reach No. 1 until 2023—but it did so with a bang. Its late-blooming success turned it into a modern fan favorite and one of Swift’s most enduring hits. Its synth-heavy sound, euphoric bridge, and viral resurgence helped fuel her Eras Tour domination.
1. “Shake It Off”
Swift’s ultimate reinvention anthem debuted at No. 1 in 2014 and spent four weeks there, becoming the defining track of her 1989 era. With nearly six months in the top 10, “Shake It Off” is her longest-charting top-tier hit and her most successful Hot 100 song overall. Its carefree vibe, polished pop hooks, and universal message of ignoring the haters made it an instant—and lasting—chart juggernaut.
