Been thinking a lot about this topic. I forgot my AirPods on my two-week trip and while I had my noise-cancelling headphones for planes and trains, I didn't have anything to entertain me while walking around, which comprised most of my day. I found that I didn't miss my AirPods too much and was able to be much more present and appreciate hearing conversations in Chinese even when I didn't understand. I also brought my camera on the trip and that also helped me stay in the moment.
Your Taylor top 20 is very different from mine! I'm not the most active fan, so I have barely listened to anything since Lover and many of my favorites are from when I was in middle/high school. I really like some of the Taylor's Version remakes though, like Dear John, which benefit from her more mature singing voice and my own perspective as an adult who has been in an age gap relationship!!
