Taylor Swift and Max Martin have a huge combined back catalogue of songs, with him having helped write and produce a number of her most-famous tracks, including many in the ‘1989’ era.

Some fans are only just getting to hear one of their songs too, after Taylor added one of the first songs they made together, ‘Message in a Bottle’, to ‘Red – Taylor’s Version’ in 2021 as a track ‘From the Vault’. ‘Vault’ songs are songs that were written for the original records but never made the final cut, which Taylor's been added to her re-releases.

‘Message in a Bottle’ (Red – Taylor’s Version) is just one of these examples, a song Max helped write for the first version of the album but we didn’t get to hear until ‘Red – TV’ came out in 2021.

But what other songs did Max Martin help write? Here’s a complete list of songs Max worked on with Taylor.

Taylor began working with Max in 2012 but he didn’t get involved in Taylor’s re-recordings project, something fans reckon is due to Taylor wanting to take a more active role in producing her new versions and the fact Max has taken a step back from producing as much as he used to.

However, it’s clear they’re still good friends as Taylor dedicated her acoustic part of the Eras Tour in Stockholm to Max, calling it the ‘Max Martin Medley’ knowing he was in the crowd.

Taylor then performed a mashup of 'Message In A Bottle', 'How You Get The Girl' and 'New Romantics'.
