6. Begin Again (2012)
With every breakup comes another relationship with a different story. Coming in at number six, Begin Again shows how one man’s flaws in a past relationship can be forgotten by an even greater guy. Taylor’s newest album, Red, provided this hit single. It can be argued that this song was written about Swift’s new beau, Conor Kennedy. After a nasty (and still nasty) breakup with John Mayer, Taylor needed Conor to show her that there are more great guys than guys who just want to hurt her.

5. Forever and Always (2008)
Taylor, Taylor, Taylor, shouldn’t you know that not everything is going to last forever and always? Coming in at number five, Forever and Always is the final touch to Taylor’s second album, Fearless. The song is based on the breakup of Taylor and Joe Jonas. After Jonas fell for another girl, he became extremely distant from Swift, and Swift became heart broken. Just because he said forever and always doesn’t mean it’s going to last Taylor.

2. Dear John (2010)
Just another song about another ex-boyfriend, Dear John hits the second spot on the Taylor Swift countdown. Found on Swift’s third album, Speak Now, this song is clearly about Taylor’s messy breakup with artist John Mayer. This song is about the many sides of Mayer and how he hurt Taylor more than anyone could know. Majority of the public disagree with this song as it bashes John Mayer and how he treated Taylor, but as she is notorious for writing about past relationships, it only seems fair that Mayer get a song dedicated to him too.
