The best Taylor Swift songs for each time of day, from exercising to relaxing

By Ellissa Bain

From cooking to studying, there’s no wrong time to listen to Taylor Swift – but it’s important to pick the right song for each time of day.

A new study has revealed the best time to listen to each track from the star’s latest album, to wake you up, boost focus or help you wind down.

Best Taylor Swift songs for each time of day

QR Code Generator analyzed the Beats Per Minute (BMP) of every song on The Tortured Poets Department and used this to determine the optimal time to listen to it. BPM determines a piece of music’s tempo, which can vary from extremely slow (20 BPM) to very fast (200 BPM).

Waking up

When you first wake up, it’s a great idea shake off that tiredness and prepare for the day ahead with a slightly upbeat but calm tempo between 104 and 110 BPM.

Some good options include The Tortured Poets Department (110 BPM), I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can) (107 BPM), and imgonnagetyouback (110 BPM).

Exercising

If you’re planning on doing some medium-intensity cardio, like a Hot Girl Walk, bike ride or light jog, songs with a medium tempo of around 120 to 140 BPM are great.

I Can Do It With a Broken Heart (130 BPM), Cassandra (140 BPM) and Whos Afraid of Little Old Me? (120 BPM) are all perfect options.

Working and studying

While working or studying, it’s important to choose a song with a slower tempo that will focus your mind and increase productivity without being too distracting.

Opt for Fortnight (feat. Post Malone) (96 BPM), thanK you aIMee (96 BPM) and My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys (97 BPM).�

Boosting your mood

If you’re looking for an upbeat track that will give you an afternoon pick-me-up or get you in the mood for a party, Taylor’s fastest songs with a BPM of 150 or higher are perfect.

This includes So High School (176 BPM), Down Bad (160 BPM) and Florida!!! (feat. Florence + The Machine) (150 BPM).

Relaxing and sleeping

When winding down for the evening, it’s best to choose a slow, calm track with a BPM of 90 or lower that will ease your mind and help you drift off to sleep.

Some great options are loml (87 BPM), But Daddy I Love Him (79 BPM) and Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus (70 BPM).�
