    In her comeback album, Taylor Swift’s lyrics are mature and dark, with some more fun songs scattered along. The production here is a masterpiece; it has unique qualities you can’t find anywhere else!

    El mejor álbum, gran producción sin duda merecía Grammy, tan solo escuchando ready for it te das cuenta el esfuerzo que conllevó la producción, no hay ninguna canción de relleno, grandes singles, buenas letras, aún creo que todos nos quedamos con ganas de que i did something bad fuera single.

    What a comeback! Call it what you want is one of my favourite songs! King of my heart and Delicate too. Gorgeous is such a fun song and she describes so well the way you feel whwn you have a crush on someone. After you listen to the album please watch reputation stadium tour on netflix and you will apreciate the album even more.

    Un álbum que necesitaba en su carrera y en su vida. Un álbum que a pesar de parecer oscuro es un álbum lleno de amor. Que nos narra una historia de amor de principio a fin. Con piezas hermosas como Delicate y Kung of my Heart. Y la obra maestra Call it what you want❤️

    As expected, Taylor returns after three years with phenomenal work. Best pop album of the year and her best work in pop (1989 who?). I dare say she saved this year, which was pretty poor with weak releases compared to last year and earlier. Thank you for another masterpiece, Taylor.

A lot of people hated, or will hate, because Taylor decided she was going to tell her version of the history on some tracks and in the magazines, but what I saw most in this album was a woman in love and happy, talking about her life with no fears.

    What I love about this album is that rather than it being about hatred and revenge, instead, it's about finding love through your bad reputation. That message is amazing, it's powerful, it's inspirational. Song wise its great. The production and experiments taken place are beyond incredible and fun to listen to. For a long wait for new music, this is a solid 10/10.

    a facet of taylor we had never seen before. a dark era. a fierce and ferocious taylor. yet she also shows vulnerability with “delicate” and her loving essence with “call it what you want” and they make the perfect balance in the album. “i did something bad” is empowering and powerful. “getaway car” and “dancing with our hands tied” are songs to sing at the top of our lungs. reputation isa facet of taylor we had never seen before. a dark era. a fierce and ferocious taylor. yet she also shows vulnerability with “delicate” and her loving essence with “call it what you want” and they make the perfect balance in the album. “i did something bad” is empowering and powerful. “getaway car” and “dancing with our hands tied” are songs to sing at the top of our lungs. reputation is an album with two distinct sides and the rest of the songs contribute to either one or the other. a masterpiece! i will always love this album and have it as one of my favorites!

    This is my rank of Taylor’s albums so far:

    1st: Lover & 1989 (I can’t decide between them)
    2nd: Speak Now & reputation (I can’t decide between them as well)
    3rd: RED
    4th: Fearless
    5th: Self-Titled Album (“Taylor Swift”)

    I still don’t know about “folklore”. I have to listen to it more to decide where to put it, but it wouldn’t be in 1st or 2nd place.

    Wow, what happened? Taylor Swift used to be one of my favorite artists, but now she has started to conform to the popular drum track and Autotune area. These generic tracks are in almost every song, but luckily Swift’s ability to write amazing lyrics has not been phased out (for the most part). A lot of these songs have potential to be amazing, but either the annoying drum tracks (...Ready For It, This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things) or the overpowering electronic synths (Dancing With Our Hands Tied, King Of My Heart) prevent the songs from getting to where I would enjoy it more (For instance, I really liked the music part of Look What You Made Me Do, but not during the choruses when the lyrics turned pretty monotone and the drums and synth kicked in). A lot of the songs sounded similar as well. I understand why Swift would want to go in this direction, since now it’s the “popular” thing, but hopefully she will return to using real instruments like in Red and Speak Now (Spoiler-alert: Lover is a huge improvement over reputation.). Highlight: Getaway Car.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This album is a perfect mix of love, privacy, fame, and of course, reputation. Since her drama in 2016, this album has a very important role in saving Taylor's reputation and her career. Unfortunately, this album was underrated. I think for me "reputation" deserve more than what it got. My favorite tracks are : Ready For It, Don't Blame Me, Look What You Made Me Do. Expand

    Taylor Swift came back with blood in her eyes, and brought us good tracks with qualities and compositions and median bands with production that if she becomes suspicious if it comes from the Taylor star. Great vocals on some tracks, but we have totally boring tracks and that seems to be off the album or something discarded.

    The best album of Taylor Swift's career. A milestone in her life and in pop culture. Perfect pop songs, lyrics of genius and a pop that we never heard from her.

    Her most misunderstood album. This album is pop perfection and most unlike any of her other albums.

    sucessor natural do 1989 e claramente um amadurecimento da Taylor. pena que os singles foram mal escolhidos e não contaram com divulgação

    Never has she sounded freer than she does here, a self-styled villain biting the forbidden fruit of gossip and letting its juices run down her neck.

Besides, it's a little sad that the moments on «reputation» that Swifties appreciate the most are likely the ones casual listeners will be quickest to dismiss. Expand

    Sometimes overly busy album. ... Swift soars when she is most herself. [Jan 2018, p.112]

    Part rumination on engaging with the pop icon and part deep end even after eating the meal, Reputation keeps the ball in the air, argues for moving forward, even if it’s herky jerky.

    Swift’s unencumbered analysis of the tectonic shifts within her personal and public life are equal parts razor sharp and self-indulgent. But as a pop album, Reputation is never revolutionary, the adrenalin rush heady but ultimately short-lived.
