As Swifties, we’ve been blessed with countless albums, surprise drops, and even Taylor’s Versions that include never-before-heard From the Vault tracks. Yet, there are still songs that remain elusive—tracks whispered about in fan circles, rumored titles that never made it to a public release. Here are 9 unreleased Taylor Swift songs that fans are dying to hear, hoping they’ll eventually see the light of day.

1. Let’s Go (Battle) 

One of the most talked-about unreleased songs is Let’s Go (Battle). This track is rumored to have been recorded during Taylor’s Reputation era, and fans speculate it captures the fierce, defiant energy that characterized much of the album. With its name alone suggesting a high-octane anthem, fans are eager to hear how this song would add to Taylor’s more combative, self-empowering tracks.

2. Need 

Another sought-after song is Need. Thought to be from the Lover era, this song’s title hints at an emotional vulnerability that fans have come to love from Taylor. Considering how Lover already explored longing and loving, Need dives even deeper into the themes of desire and loss, making fans curious about what this track could reveal.

3. Better Off 

Better Off is a rumored breakup anthem that could have easily fit within Taylor’s Fearless or Speak Now albums. Fans imagine it as a classic Taylor song where she realizes her strength post-heartbreak, delivering that cathartic feeling Swifties know so well. It’s the kind of song fans would love to belt out, knowing that sometimes, you’re better off on your own.

4. Bother Me 

This track, rumored to be from Taylor’s earlier songwriting days, would likely be filled with youthful frustration and defiance. Swifties believe Bother Me would have that quintessential Taylor sass, where she claps back at someone who just won’t leave her alone. Fans are ready to hear this track and add it to their playlist of self-empowerment anthems.

5. Dark Blue Tennessee 

This unreleased song is a fan favorite, with snippets circulating online. Believed to be written in Taylor’s teenage years, Dark Blue Tennessee evokes a sense of nostalgia, painting vivid imagery of longing and heartbreak. The deep, introspective lyrics fit perfectly within Taylor’s early work, and fans have long been hoping for an official release of this emotional ballad.

6. Permanent Marker 

A playful yet biting track, Permanent Marker was performed by Taylor during early live shows but never made it onto an album. In it, she delivers her signature witty commentary about a bad ex, using humor to soften the sting of heartache. Fans love Taylor’s ability to blend sharp lyrics with a fun melody, and *Permanent Marker* is a prime example of that skill.

7. I’d Lie 

One of the most well-known unreleased songs, I’d Lie  is a fan favorite from Taylor’s early days. The song tells the story of unspoken feelings for a close friend, wrapped up in the classic acoustic storytelling style of her Debut era. Swifties have been holding onto this gem for years, hoping Taylor might someday give it the studio treatment it deserves.

8. Thirteen Blocks (Can’t Call It Love Yet) 

Fans are always intrigued by songs that suggest an internal struggle, and Thirteen Blocks (Can’t Call It Love Yet) fits the bill. This track seems to explore that in-between space where you’re not quite sure if what you’re feeling is love. Swifties think this could have been a deep cut from

1989, capturing that transition from youth to adulthood in love and relationships.

9. Someone Just Told Me

This song has been speculated to be from the Fearless era, but its lyrics and message have remained a mystery. Fans imagine it as a reflective, introspective song where Taylor processes a life-altering piece of information—perhaps a twist in a relationship. With its enigmatic title, fans are curious about how this song could fit into Taylor’s broader discography.
