Taylor Swift is taking her time to consider the music that best defines her prolific songwriting catalog—but she is starting to narrow it down.
During an appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert on December 10, the 35-year-old singer-songwriter opened up about the difficult task of choosing her top five songs. When Colbert asked Swift the same question he has posed to music legends like Elton John, Dolly Parton, and Bruce Springsteen, she hesitated before offering a partial list, to huge rounds of applause from the crowd.
"I'm going to say I'm going to need a little time to get back to you on all the five," Swift told Colbert. "I think I require a bit of time to appreciate my work in a way...I think number one is 'All Too Well,' the 10-minute version."
