Taylor Swift Song Quiz

You hear one second of a real Taylor Swift recording and name it. Land it straight away and the round is worth five points. Miss or skip and the clip grows to two seconds, then four, seven and eleven, worth less every time. Five Taylor Swift tracks per run, roughly two minutes, and the guess box suggests titles as you type so spelling never costs you a round.

Tracks are pulled live from the public catalogue, so the five you get change every run. Expect titles like Love Story, Blank Space, Shake It Off, Anti-Hero, Cruel Summer. Each round also starts at a random point in the recording, so Love Story opening on a verse and Love Story opening on the chorus are two completely different puzzles.

Harder than the mixed pop & hits quiz. When every round is Taylor Swift, the genre and era clues you normally lean on in the first second are gone, so you are separating Blank Space from Shake It Off on texture alone. Most casual listeners need three or four seconds a track; regulars get there in one.

No, but it helps. Knowing Taylor Swift and recognising Taylor Swift in a single second turn out to be very different skills, which is why the first round humbles almost everyone. If it bites, try the wider Pop & Hits quiz first and come back.
