If her global superstardom and inconceivably high net worth don’t make it obvious, let it be known that Taylor Swift knows how to create universally appreciated music. No matter your age, class, or nationality, the human experiences that she details all too well (lol) throughout her expansive discography justify why so many people connect with her. Miss Taylor Allison Swift has beautifully articulated how it feels to go through heartbreak, desire, and betrayal time and time again throughout her nearly 20-year career. But whether you’re a casual listener or a lifelong Swiftie, chances are you relate to one of her albums above the rest. That could be because you preferred one album's storytelling method over the others. Or because you're a country-era Taylor loyalist. Or it could be because of your zodiac sign.
I strongly believe your sign can reveal plenty about you. Whether that’s the perfume you should wear, how you should do your makeup, or, bear with me, the Taylor Swift era that embodies your energy the most. Because while Tay may be the most famous Sagittarius on Earth, plenty of her music resonates more with other signs within the zodiac. She’s proven that she's got range, and your sign is absolutely represented somewhere within it. So, without further ado, here’s the Taylor record that best captures your vibe.
Aries
Speak Now
“These songs are made up of words I didn’t say when the moment was right in front of me,” Taylor wrote in the booklet that originally accompanied this album. Aries energy isn’t comfortable bottling up feelings, and Speak Now is filled with confessions. It was an outlet for Taylor to release desires and frustrations long left unsaid. The album’s declarations are honest, in-your-face, and unafraid of long-term consequences—much like this fire sign’s general approach to everything. Life favors the bold. This record and this zodiac sign both understand that deeply.
Taurus
Evermore
On the surface, Evermore’s got cozy, intimate, rainy-day music. But when you peel the album’s layers back, its core message focuses on the power of perseverance. The title track details pushing through heartbreak and being better off for it. Tauruses are often recognized for their love of luxury and comfort, but this sign doesn’t get enough credit for its high tolerance for life’s emotional discomforts. They use pain to recharge, motivate, and better themselves. And their signature stubbornness makes it hard for them to accept setbacks without some sort of gain.
Gemini
Fearless
This sign moves through life with an almost childlike curiosity and a thirst for new experiences, due to being ruled by Mercury, the planet of learning and communication. Fearless arguably marks Taylor’s coming-of-age. It heavily highlights her early experiences with love and the lessons she gained from them, especially in songs like “Fifteen” and “Love Story.” Plus, this sign’s energy is undoubtedly brave. Restless Geminis live for a challenge that forces them out of their comfort zone; no one’s more fearless than them.
Cancer
Folklore
No sign holds a greater respect and appreciation for the past than Cancer, and Taylor’s 2020 hit is steeped in nostalgia. Taylor reflects on the “ifs” of her love life on “the 1” and the serendipitous origins of her relationship on “invisible string.” Cancerian energy romanticizes everything they’ve ever experienced—much like Taylor does on this record. But it’s not naive. While deeply attached to what once was, at their core, Cancers know what belongs in the rearview. Letting go can be tough…which is a central experience that Taylor details on this project.
Leo
The Life of a Showgirl
Taylor’s latest album feels dedicated to defining Taylor the spectacle versus Taylor the person, and representing the struggle that she’s experienced balancing the two. While Leo energy is comfortable sitting at center stage, there’s a lot of pressure and confusion that comes with that life—something Taylor reflects on here. But this fire sign’s energy is also unquestionably vibrant and fun, which this album’s overall (Max Martin-produced) sound encapsulates too.
Virgo
Taylor Swift (Self-Titled)
Reliably, at some point on every Taylor Swift album, she’ll hold the semi-critical microscope to her past relationships the same way Virgos do with literally everything they’ve ever gone through—to figure out what went wrong and how to improve. But Taylor also spent a lot of time on her debut trying to figure out who she was. She was in her mid-teens while making it, so it naturally became a bit of an identity exploration. The album’s clear-eyed observations mirror this earth sign’s meticulous, constantly analytical approach to life.
Libra
1989
This was Taylor’s ode to freedom, independence, and womanhood. And her bubbly and enthusiastic storytelling (see: “Wonderland”) really embodies the energy of the zodiac’s resident social butterfly. They’re outgoing, diplomatic, and love being out in the world, amongst the people. On 1989, Taylor narrates her move to a big new city, her experience stumbling through heartbreak, and how she still managed to enjoy herself through it all. “Shake It Off” captures the classic Libra coping mechanism: life throws curveballs, and they choose to shrug them off and focus on the light.
Scorpio
Reputation
Is this sign vengeful, passionate, and paranoid? For sure. But Scorpios are also regenerative. They bounce back from the depths of pain ten times stronger, a recovery that Reputation explores. Taylor is angry and out for blood on songs like “Look What You Made Me Do” and “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things.” But the album also features tracks that show her refinding peace and refusing to let hate consume her. This album was also a bold departure from Taylor’s usual themes and sounds. Scorpio energy thrives on being unpredictable.
Sagittarius
Red
Some (me) consider this Taylor’s magnum opus, and for that reason alone, it deserves to represent her own zodiac sign. But beyond that, Red, her first real pop girl moment, is biting and brimming with truth. Just listen to “All Too Well (10 Minute Version).” This fire sign’s commitment to honesty, even when it’s uncomfortable, is what makes them special. And “State of Grace” should be considered this sign’s anthem henceforth: We are alone with our changing minds / We fall in love ’til it hurts or bleeds, or fades in time.
Capricorn
The Tortured Poets Department
This album was a confessional like no other. Taylor herself described it as a cathartic release, or a “data dump.” First of all, to describe pent-up pain as data is very Capricorn-like. But beyond that, these people are practical and sometimes too buttoned-up, which is why their emotional releases can be intense when they finally let go… like 31-songs-long intense.
Aquarius
Midnights
Aquarians are independent, unpredictable, and distinct. Of all Taylor’s records, this one feels unique—not because of its themes (heartbreak, infidelity, regret, the main Swiftian subjects), but because of how she explores them. Its dreamy, synth-heavy production is cool, unexpected, and extremely Aquarian. This sign knows how to express deep emotions in a way that feels effortless and chic.
Pisces
Lover
This album exists in a dreamscape. Taylor wore her love as a badge of honor throughout, and this sign’s heart lives firmly on its sleeve. Taylor told Vogue that Lover was a “love letter to love, in all of its maddening, passionate, exciting, enchanting, horrific, tragic, wonderful glory.” And that’s exactly what Pisces excels at; embracing the beautiful and ugly parts of their deepest feelings, all while remaining creative… and a little delusional.
