    Her best album so far. The lyrics are on point and the production of the songs are great. The album shows her talent as a lyricist and songwriter. Her vocals are on point also. The savior of pop in the year 2017.

    Album do ano, Taylor conseguiu se renovar mais uma vez. Letras bem trabalhadas com batidas que casam perfeitamente, até mesmo a ordem das musicas é importante. Não vai haver reputação, só vai haver reputação.

    Swift proved once again why she is one of the biggest pop artists of her time. Reputation is different from everything she ever did, but it still sounds like Taylor Swift, the strong and emotional lyrics are there. It’s the best album of the year

    Although I love the bumpy, roller-coaster ride of emotions Red and Speak Now are, Reputation's smoother, more polished and cohesive sound was like a Disney World Attraction. Don't get me wrong, though - it is still emotionally complex in its own right and the way she puts feelings into words is as Swiftian as ever. The way each track compliments the next is genius.

Even Gorgeous, a song that made me doubt the album for a while, sounded so much better when I heard the whole thing. I can't even pinpoint a favorite track. Reputation is a whole body of work, not an album of cute singles.… Expand

    i love you is art This is obviously the best pop album of the year. And that's saying something, because Lorde's sophomore album was very good as well. Taylor took everything people are saying about her and turned it into lyrical gold-as she always does. Buy it. Buy one for your grandma, grandpa, dog, cat, fish, sugar bowl. Literally, everything could use a little reputation in its life. :)

    O melhor àlbum já escrito por taylor e seu parceiros de composição. Eu amei e minhas favoritas sem duvidas foram: i did something bad, dress dont blame me, e todas as outras.

    this is definitely her best record. she has more to write about this time around and she definitely delivered! This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things is a cute Jay-Z/Kimye drag and Look What You Made Me Do is another cute drag at all her feuds this past year. in my opinion, I Did Something Bad and Dress are my top two favourite tracks.

    Álbum do ano no Grammy 2019. É absolutamente perfeito - desde sua produção as suas letras simples e complexas ao mesmo tempo. É definitivamente o álbum mais coeso e com os vocais mais maduros que a Taylor já mostrou.

    This is certainly an album of the year, with "reputation" Taylor did it again, She reinvented herself as an artist and that's absolutely incredible. I can't stop listening to this pop perfection masterpiece.

    This album is focused, intense, and dazzlingly brilliant. I can not give enough praise to this masterpiece of an album. Taylor Swift has proven once again that she knows what she's doing, her melodies and lyrics are sharper than ever! Album Of The Year material without a doubt.

    Her lyrics are very descriptive and her melodies are very catchy. The pop beats are like that of 1989 but more modern. There is a dark feel to the album and I think it definitely brings her songs to life. There is depth as well as very dance-like tracks that the average listener can rock out to.

    Lots of collaboration here without much originality. Swift gets writing credits for every song but in actuality Martin and Shellback wrote 2/3 of the album. You have to laugh when she said she would never autotune her voice given how much it is done here. And all the 10s on Mcritics, seriously people. Have you never heard great music before? Typical Swift simple singing lines withLots of collaboration here without much originality. Swift gets writing credits for every song but in actuality Martin and Shellback wrote 2/3 of the album.

Typical Swift simple singing lines with emphasized parts. Catchy hooks for a few songs and good production-which she paid to the nose for. Future seems out of it. The lyrics are narcicistic and jeuvenile. Gorgeous is about her falling for a hot guy. Getaway car sounds like 1989's "Out of the Woods", no Martin/Shellback so we're getting full Swift and it isn't that good. Glad I'm not wasting money on this one.… Expand

    Not good as 1989. The melodies are not catchy and are forgettable. Experiments in some of the tracks are successful while others make no sense. The lyrical content doesn't progress. A little bit disappointed. She is better at country and synth-pop.
    ...Ready For It?-5/10(pre-chorus sounds good, but other parts are too dark and sound like no melody)

    Delicate-6/10(too flat)
    Look What You Made Me Do-5/10(horrible chorus and pre-chorus, love lyrics "The old Taylor is dead")

    Gorgeous-8/10(OK track)

    Dress-7.5/10(not a skip but kind of boring)

    Call It What You Want-7.5/10(as the song goes on it becomes better)

    The moody Taylor is an interesting exploration, but it overstays its length and doesn't receive any favors from her featured artists.

    LWYMMD really had me fooled. This is a fantastic pop album by Taylor, and I can't wait for what this era brings. I Did Something Bad, This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things, Ready For It, Getaway Car, and Dress are my favorites.

    She explained everything that she passed on the last years and she did it very well. All the news and gossips about her made her strong and more creative. This album it's her best so far.

    She came with her real perspective, she came as the best songwriter we have seen so far. This is her best work and will not surprise anyone by selling millions copies of this masterpiece.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. "reputation" - a new role Taylor, revealing her to the audience in a completely new way, but keeping her individuality.
    This album shows what ultimately came Taylor - a smooth transition from the "true country" in the face "Taylor Swift" and "Fearless" to have more pop, but still country "Speak Now", which turned out to filled with simple motifs and primitive, but genuine and incredible sounding "Red", after which we heard directed at the mass audience "1989", full of iconic pop style.
    And in the end we got a "reputation", which completely showing only her strong and tough side and killing the image of Taylor as a singer, singing only about her next ex-boyfriend. Despite the abundance of electronic sound, melody and vocal melody in "reputation" will not disappear - there's a beautiful contrast (especially noticeable in the song "End Game", recorded together with absolutely different-sounding singers - Ed Sheeran and raper Future), which showing Swift as one of the greatest performers of our time, who can combine electronic beats with beautiful smooth vocals.
    It's definitely something new for Taylor, and for the modern music industry too. So... wait.
    Taylor Swift now is a main for modern music industry, isn't it?    … Expand

    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.
