This weekend our town is hosting a Taylor Swift party with several of the small, local businesses hosting live music playing her songs, selling Swiftie fan-made merch, and trading friendship bracelets and I'm going to be honest... I felt a little left out! 

Kidding, but there are several Swifties that grace the halls of Mass Depot and in honor of loving our city of Neosho and the people and small businesses that make it what it is, here is a list of Taylor Swift songs that are easy and fun to jam to while out on the off-roads!

I asked AI to make this list and here is what it gave me:

"Shake It Off" - 1989 

• Upbeat and energizing, perfect for getting into the off-roading spirit.

"Ready for It?" - Reputation

• The intense beats and empowering lyrics are ideal for navigating rugged terrain.

"I Knew You Were Trouble" - Red

• A mix of emotions and a driving beat to match the unpredictability of the mountain trails.

"Wildest Dreams" - 1989

• A dreamy vibe that fits the scenic views and the freedom of the open air.

"The Man" - Lover

• A confident, bold anthem to keep the adrenaline pumping as you conquer the trails.

"Out of the Woods" - 1989

• The title says it all—an adventurous track for winding through the forested paths.

"Style" - 1989

• Smooth and cool, this track keeps the journey stylish and fun.

"Bad Blood" - 1989

• The intensity of this song is perfect for powering through tough spots on the trail.

"The Last Great American Dynasty" - Folklore

• A storytelling track that pairs well with the reflective moments of the ride.

"Welcome to New York" - 1989

• A celebratory track for when you finally reach the peak or a breathtaking viewpoint.

"Don’t Blame Me" - Reputation

• The deep, resonant beats are great for tackling steep inclines.

"Getaway Car" - Reputation

• Pretty self explanatory, right?

"Cruel Summer" - Lover

• A vibrant, energetic song to keep the momentum going as you explore the mountains.

"Red" - Red

• Passionate and dynamic, perfect for capturing the emotions of the journey.

"Fearless" - Fearless

• The name says it all—an empowering anthem for fearless exploration.

I would say AI did a pretty decent job at choosing songs for an off-road trip! Especially since almost all of these songs have been covered by a rock band at some point, so if Rock N Roll is more your style, you can still enjoy the brilliant lyricism while travelling scenic terrain.

As a Swiftie since '06 and the author of this blog, I would like to add my own choices to give you the full playlist experience while you're out on the trails:

The Bolter - The Tortured Poets Department

Florida!!! (feat. Florence + The Machine) - The Tortured Poets Department

ME! (feat. Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco) - Lover

And for some country vibes:

Should've Said No - Taylor Swift (debut album)

Stay Beautiful - Taylor Swift (debut album)

Happy Trails! Peace, Love, Taylor Swift.
