Taylor Swift's music has a reputation for being very standard musically: most of her songs are in 4/4, in major keys, and contain no chromaticism.

This market will resolve to the number of her songs that I am aware of that contain any features that are nonstandard by the extremely low bar that the rest of her music sets. In particular, features that are nonstandard include, but are not limited to:

  • Being in a minor key

  • Being in a time signature other than 4/4

  • Containing a borrowed chord

  • Containing a key change

  • Changing time signatures

  • Containing almost any chromaticism at all

Even chord progressions that don't contain any borrowed chords might count if they're weird!

Once again, this market is basically a bounty for people to find me results.

I imagine that the key change one in particular will yield some results. I have a related market specifically looking at minor keys that may contain some relevant information, and please note that my definition of "being in a minor key" is the same here as it is on that market:

This market closes on June 30th.

Here is my list off the top of my head of songs that I know contain some weirdness:

  1. Look What You Made Me Do

    1. (is in a minor key)

  2. no body, no crime

    1. (is in a minor key)

  3. Vigilante Shit

    1. (is in a minor key)

  4. Getaway Car

    1. (contains a borrowed iv chord)

    2. (changes keys)

  5. The Way I Loved You

    1. (contains a borrowed iv chord — actually, several of them)

  6. tolerate it

    1. (is in 5/4, which is actually interesting)

  7. Dear John

    1. (is in 3/4, which is one of the most boring ways to not be in 4/4)

  8. Love Story

    1. (changes keys)

  9. betty

    1. (contains a borrowed iv chord)

    2. (changes keys)

  10. closure

    1. (is mostly in 5/4, but sometimes changes to 4/4)

I got bored with looking through them and nobody else suggested any to look at so I’m resolving this to the number I discovered.
