Ladies and gentlemen... We have REACHED my favourite Taylor album ever, THE reputation herself. Words cannot describe how much I love this album. NOTE that I love >every< single song on this album, yes, even #15 I truly adore so so much. This was tough to rank in some places, and honestly in one year my ranking of this could shift here and there, but as of now, this is how I would - AGAIN THIS WAS VERY HARD SO PLS I'd rather you pay attention to my comments rather than the spots themselves!
(I would talk more about reputa but most of y'all don't read this so)
------
15. New Year's Day - Honestly I do not hate this song at ALL, I actually have lots of appreciation for this one... It's such a beautiful one, it takes me to another place, but I prefer to listen to it alone rather than IN the reputation album. But it's so so beautiful, I enjoyed her performance of it on the tour too... I wish I didn't have to put it at #15 but ugh.
14. Gorgeous - Y'all hate this, I know you do... But I don't! Yes, it's not top 5 on reputa, but damn is it some GOOD fun! I love the song, stumble alone home to your cats queen, cats are the best anyway...
13. This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things - BOP!! Interesting though, this is kinda like Bad Blood, where it's a "petty" song I LOVED and had at my top 5 on release day, but it's definitely dropped over time. But I still enjoy this song SO SO much, it's such fun. Kanye you are a L O S E R, your older music was much better anyway...
12. Delicate - It's the way this used to be my least favourite on reputation back in 2017... I HATED this so much... and for what? This song is SO good, but tbh, I have to thank the music video for making me "open my heart" to it. It's such an iconic and good song, it is! It's really such a vibe tho, I could never skip this song anymore like I used to.. Also the BRIDGE is a highlight!!! Also, I realised how hard I can relate to this song, and I can relate it to someone... sigh! (ALSO I LOVE THIS SO PLS DONT KILL ME FOR THIS SPOT ITS HARD)
11. End Game (feat. Ed Sheeran & Future) - I do know that some of y'all hate this.. But I LOVE love this song. Big reputation, big reputation // I swear I don't love the drama it loves me... Like? All these iconic LINES.. And I love the choreo in the video too, idk it's such a fun song. Future is eh but the song overall is good (thanks to the queen herself duh) so it's like you forget about Future's mediocrity
10. Getaway Car - Fun fact, I always thought this one was overrated back then... And tbh it ain't in my top 5 BUT! It's an amazing song. I've noticed details in production, melodies etc... and it just makes me appreciate the song more. And honestly the bridge-to-outro is kind of THE moment of the song. This is truly a incredible song, and her and Jack did a great job on it!
9. King of My Heart - It's the way I got tired of this song at one point and suddenly as of recently, it went UP again... like how, idk?! But it's amazing, again, the details here are what make this special. It's truly a sing-a-long song too, like, the type of song you'd know most if not all the lyrics.
8. Dress - Whew.. Ok like... This was also my least favourite at one point, like maybe in 2018, but DAMN the way it grew on me lately... Especially since I watched the Reputation Stadium Tour, and it really really helped elevate this magical song. I used to only like the verses, but there's also other details and melodies that I just DIE for. Say my name and everything just STOPS!...
7. Look What You Made Me Do - LEGEND! Whew... If you told me you weren't shook when this (and especially the video) dropped, THEN YOU A LIAR! I don't trust you!! This song is truly that bitch. Taylor came with VENGEANCE, she reclaimed her crown, she embraced the snake persona, THE introduction to the reputation era. This was an amazing moment, it was...
6. Call It What You Want - The way I know the lyrics to this song by heart, CHILE this album is something else! Honestly though there's nothing much to say about this - I LOVE this song, it's beautiful, it's chill, it has some groove to it too, and I love happy Taylor, as much as I love her being vengeful/petty! Stary eyes sparking up my darkest nights... *_*
5. So It Goes... - Oh y'all underrate this one and I'm LIVID about it. I love love love this one, it's another one where I can't really explain why I love it so much, but I REALLY do. Her getting freaky with the "scratches down your back"?? Old Taylor IS dead girls!
4. Don't Blame Me - Honestly this is kinda perfect after I Did Something Bad, both lyrically AND sonically - it piggybacks off the idea of the previous song, and I love how it's still such a production masterpiece yet it's chiller (so a bitch can calm down bc whew...). But yeah, this is also such a huge highlight of reputation, I LOVE this song. Vocals for DAYS. Give me gospel WITH future bass bitch.
3. Dancing With Our Hands Tied - Perfection. I love it when Taylor goes future bass on us, the production here is IMMACULATE, one of the best on reputation. I love the lyrics so much too... Like I DID make a line from this song my skype motto.
2. ...Ready For It? - We were NOT ready for it, we were not. I was not. My wig was SNATCHED day 1... Literally sis delivered this HARD sound, and then give me some soft amazingness, like how iconic and amazing is this GEM?? Y'all, words cannot describe how much I stan this song. Let the games begin bay bee!
1. I Did Something Bad - Ladies and gentlemen, it is MY favourite Taylor song of ALL-TIME. IF A MAN TALKS SHIT THEN I OWE HIM NOTHING!!! THE pinnacle of reputation! THIS is the song that left my jaw on the floor on first listen, and 3 years later, it STILL bangs and gets me hyped up. Words cannot describe how much I enjoy this song... the vocals, the lyrics, the PRODUCTION, the vocal effects on that breakdown, the bridge (witches and kanye shade? Sign me UP!)... If I had to make an essay on how flawless this song is, I would. One of my favourite songs of all time for SURE. OH and Taylor? Cancelled for not making THIS a single...
------
delicate and new years day outsold... so it goes sucks, ready for it is a bop but def not top 5 material, dancing with our hands tied is alright but idt i would have it that high, but id also have dont blame me and i did something bad in my top 4
Petro omg no don't diss so it goes like that... and i cant at 2 DWOHT nay-sayers already :((( and I absolutely love new years day and delicate, they'd probably be higher but it's tough to rank for me!
Alright, this is the album I've been waiting for...
New Years Day- What a beautiful song... its not in my top because I agree it doesn't fit well with the album as a whole, but damn this song never gets a skip... its just so pretty.
Gorgeous- Kinda robbed in the placement ngl... she talks about stumbling home to her cats and this song kinda goes off hard.
This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things- I can't believe you rigged this petty ass banger of a song so low... but its my lucky number so its fine, I'll accept. The verses and bridge of this song go off so hard.
Delicate- This is def at the lower end of my rankings too, I liked the song but after it became a sleeper hit on the radio it kind of started bothering me. I like it but there is better IMO.
End Game- I've said it before and I'll say it again... the BEST verse on the entire album comes from Taylor in this song... but the inclusion of Ed Sheeran just drops the song in the rankings so low and its kinda not fair to it but I get the urge to fast forward through his verse in the middle of the song every time and that sucks.
Getaway Car- This is the perfect middle of the road ranking song IMO. not like top tier but its still such a good song I could never rank it low. The song kind of pops off ngl.
King Of My Heart- This song has consistently stayed at the lower end of my rankings for reputation... I haven't listened to it in a minute, maybe I should? There are some really fun components of it (like how she says jaguar) but it never stood out to be as a S tier song.
Dress- I LOVED this song when it came out, ADORED it. However, the one negative thing I will say about it is... False God kind of did the theme of this song 100 times better, and after that came out it just pales in comparison to it.
Look What You Made Me Do- This song deserves top five because of the music video alone. I will never NOT say "sorry the old taylor cant come to the phone right now, why? oh cause shes dead" FUCKING GOES OFF SO GOOD.
Call It What You Want- I go up and down with this one between loving it and overplaying it for myself. The lyrics are so fucking good and just this is a love song I can stand behind fully.
So It Goes...- LITERALLY ROBBED OF BEING THE ONLY SONG SHE DIDN'T SING FROM THIS ALBUM ON THE TOUR. THIS SONG IS SO GOOD IDEC.
Don't Blame Me- This is EASILY my #1 song on this album. I. LOVE. IT. Everything about this song... like I have nothing negative to say. The verses pop off, the chorus pops off, the bridge and then her high notes. MOM gave me her #1 song of all time with this one.
Dancing With Our Hands Tied- This song to me is similar to getaway car/king of my heart they are songs that I love but can all rearrange positions with themselves whenever I rank the album.
...Ready For It?- YES. TAYLOR RAPPING WAS SO GOOD. I LOVE WHEN I HEAR THIS SONG IN THE GROCERY STORE! This was a GREAT start to the album and I think its underrated.
I Did Something Bad- kinda tea, ths song and don't blame me built off each other. This is easily my #2 song on the album bc I think don't blame me is better... but still this song goes off HARD.
All in all, I agree all 15 songs are great. This is her best album and it will always be, idec.
