On Taylor Swift's birthday, listen to these underrated gems of singer

Taylor Swift: She has 11 Grammys to her credit. She is the first singer to occupy the entire Billboard Top 10 chart in a single week with her last album Midnights. Taylor Swift, who turns 33 today, is quite matchless in what she does.

But there is more to the singer than her overplayed chart-toppers that she is known for. Many of her songs have also remained underrated. These songs also cover misfortunes that young woman can relate to. She has everything to offer - getting over an unrequited love, being afraid or entering a new phase in life. While many of these songs may not be very popular, they help define the singer as a whole.

Here on her birthday, we bring to you five of Taylor Swift songs that showcase her genius. They have been unappreciated and overlooked but they will help you get through your blues.

1. "Mean"

Album: Speak Now

Lyrics: Someday I'll be big enough so you can't hit me / And all you're ever gonna be is mean / Why you gotta be so mean?

Are you brave enough to call someone mean? The lyrics of this song are simple but are heavily loaded. Swift admits that there are always going to be people who will try to tear you down. What’s your revenge? Work hard and be successful. They may die of jealousy.

2. "Change"

Album: Fearless

Lyrics: Tonight we stand, get off our knees / Fight for what we've worked for all these years / And the battle was long, it's the fight of our lives / But we'll stand up champions tonight

Selected for the 2008 Summer Olympics, the theme of "Change" is persistence, resolution. Life may be a struggle, but there is hope too. Difficulties are never permanent. Hang in there and things will, in the end, work in your favor.

3. "Long Live"

Album: Speak Now

Lyrics: Long live all the mountains we moved / I had the time of my life fighting dragons with you / One day, we will be remembered

This coming-of-age song deals with fears within while going through change in life. While Swift agrees that ambiguity can be scary, you must hold on to your fondest memories. And always remember life is all about making new memories.

4. "The Story of Us"

Album: Speak Now

Lyrics: Now I'm standing alone in a crowded room and we're not speaking / And I'm dying to know is it killing you like it's killing me?

Most underrated, this song you about the most uncomfortable experience that one goes through when coming across your ex in public. Her advice? stay strong, hold your head high, and put an end to that chapter of the relationship.

5. "Clean"

Album: 1989

Lyrics: Rain came pouring down when I was drowning / That's when I could finally breathe / And by morning gone was any trace of you / I think I am finally clean

The song about cleansing; moving on, getting over him. No more longing for that relationship. You don't need a man to define who you are. Find yourself instead of finding a man.
