Taylor Swift is the queen of catchy hooks, relatable lyrics, and anthems that get stuck in your head. If "Shake It Off" got you dancing and shaking off all drama, you are probably by now curious what other tracks this legend has to give. Fortunately, for us, Taylor can run a catalogue of her songs from self-acceptance to heartbreak-all with her style and she-bang. So, if you're in the mood to vibe to more of Taylor's musical magic, here's a lineup of songs that'll have you dancing, thinking, and definitely singing along.

1. "You Belong With Me"

Remember those high school days when you were this close to telling your crush how you really felt? Well, Taylor nails that awkward "I'm-not-sure-what-to-say-but-I-know-you-belong-with-me" vibe. This track is such a bright, happy anthem for all of us who've been in the friend zone and wondered, perhaps-you know-just maybe-you're the one they need. Much like "Shake It Off", this is one of those songs that you can't help but want to scream at the top of your lungs with friends and forget about any little drama.

2. "22"

This song is an excuse, if one needs one, just to act a little goofy and not give any cares in the world. Featuring lyrics of freedom, fun, and endless possibility, "22" surely is an anthem to youth, friendship, and living in the now. Not different from "Shake It Off," Taylor unleashes her joy about young, carefree living where the girls forget worries and troubles for good fun times. That is the essence of this utter party tune.

3. "Blank Space"

If "Shake It Off" is about shaking off negativity, then "Blank Space" is Taylor embracing her darker, more playful side. Here, she sings of being the woman who's got a long list of ex-lovers while laughing at the stereotypes and misconceptions about her. The upbeat tempo and witty lyrics make this a fun, self-aware track from start to finish. [Also], the hook is surely to have you tapping/singing along as if it's some guilty pleasure.

4. "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together"

There's something so freeing about saying "no" to toxic relationships, and Taylor nails it with this breakup anthem. Upbeat, with playful lyrics, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" is quite a statement-there are those times when you have just got to move on. The track captures the feeling of empowerment one feels when he/she realizes they're done with the drama, which perfectly fits the upbeat "I'm done with it all" vibe of "Shake It Off.".

5. "Bad Blood"

Let's face it: Everyone's life, at one point or another, is disrupted by some people who only create chaos. With "Bad Blood," Taylor reflects on the pain of a wrecked friendship or a bad relationship. The song's fierce beat, combined with Taylor's fiery vocals, makes it an anthem for anyone who's ever been burned by someone they trusted. Just consider this like a far more intense but also catchy reprise of "Shake It Off," as they both do speak to shaking off the negative, but with a bit of an edge to it.

6. "Lover"

In the realm of dreamy and pretty Taylor's discography, "Lover" tends to take the lead. The track is dreamy, easy-flowing, and showcases love at its finest-most of the quiet and peaceful moments. After all the upbeat energy of "Shake It Off," "Lover" is a refreshing change in pace, sweetly escaping into the shared moments in life and cozy memories. It is fully packed with imagery that may make one dream about the simple joys of being in love. That turns this song into perfect contrast with some of her more intense and upbeat tracks.

7. "Cruel Summer"

If you're looking for catchy hooks with that summer vibe, "Cruel Summer" would be the right fit. With painful and complicated parts of love in this song, it has this energetic beat and chorus that gives off the carefree vibe that one just wants to roll the windows down and scream it at the top of their lungs. It has the same catchy and anthemic vibe as "Shake It Off," only with a bit more emotional turn. And that chorus? Total earworm.

8. "Love Story"

Throw it back to when fairy tale love stories ran the airwaves. The classic romantic song, Shakespearean Romeo and Juliet, and all that-good, happy-ending kind of story. It's a trip down memory lane to Taylor's country upbringing and shares the same singable, addictive qualities that force you to bellow out the hook like a musical star. If "Shake It Off" makes you feel liberated, "Love Story" makes you feel like you're part of a beautiful, timeless love.

9. "Wildest Dreams"

Wildest Dreams" is perhaps the track that captures this bitter-sweet emotion of lost love through its dreamy vibe and introspective lyrics. Less explosive than some of her other biggest hits, it's no less potent. Filled with narratives and visuals, "Wildest Dreams" articulates a tinge of romance, flavored with a pinch of nostalgia. It's like watching a beautiful movie unfold, with everything vibrant, intense, and bound to fade away.

10. "Fearless"

Not to be overlooked, there's "Fearless," the track that titled one of her most popular albums. Indeed, it captures an optimistic and positive vibe from the feeling of walking into something new and great without being afraid. Just as "Shake It Off," "Fearless" is a track about pushing life's uncertainties, dancing despite the struggles, and taking bold steps toward the future.

They all just worm their way into your brain and aren't about to leave anytime soon, either. Some chime in to sing and dance their way to empowerment with the listener; others do, well, a little bit of everything in between to get you just that little bit more-such as having that great rhyme or that lyric in there that you somehow can relate to. If "Shake It Off" had you hitting repeat, these jams will do it, too!
