    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❤️

    Taylor always told the truth and it's sad that she had to do an all album to prove it. But she did it and did it perfectly. TAYLOR SWIFT IS THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.

    this album is genius. it's pop perfection, with taylor managing to mature her sound beyond her debut into pop with 1989. a fun and unapologetic album.

    Pese a los tantos enemigos que querían hundir a Taylor Swift, esta acabó con ellos fácilmente haciendo lo que mejor se le da hacer: música. Un álbum de venganza que no se merece otra cosa diferente a 10. Perfecto.

    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.

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. I hope everything goes well in this era and that "reputation" takes home the AOTY at the 2019 Grammy, deserves it. Expand

    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.

    Taylor has always made beautiful lyrics and we can see that in this record. The album age like wine and we are going to remember Reputation as a new era in the music industry.

    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.

    A very bizarre turn from Taylor Swift to make the production trap inspired and include hip hop artists like future. Her core storytelling and writing is here but with a much less distinguishable flair.

    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.
