What counts as an official Taylor Swift song?
Official songs appear on a standard edition of a studio album released or rereleased by Swift or her label, distributed through major retailers or licensed streaming services.

Why do some albums have more songs than others?
Track counts vary based on artistic intent and format limits. For example, Red has 16 standard tracks, while Midnights has 13. Deluxe and Vault editions add bonus material, but the standard list reflects the canonical album.
Are the Taylor's Version rerecordings exact copies?
They match the original tracklist and song order, with minor production updates. Red (Taylor's Version) adds the 10-minute "All Too Well (10min version)" as a bonus track beyond the original 16.
