Well, Taylor Swift is back and “Reputation” has die-hard Taylor Swift fans shaking. This album was well-worth the wait and is full of many lyrical gems. Here are the best lyrics from every song on “Reputation” that you’ll see all over Instagram captions and that will have you in the feels.

1. “...Ready For It?”

“In the middle of the night, in my dreams, you should see the things we do.”

I couldn’t think of a better opening track for Reputation because of the title. Taylor literally is asking us if we’re ready for this album, and to be completely honest, I don’t think I was.

2. “End Game”

“I don’t wanna touch you, I don’t wanna be just another ex-love you don’t want to see.”

I’m still waiting on this song to grow on me like the rest of the album. If you’re a fan of Future, though, you’ll love this song because it features him really well.

3. “I Did Something Bad”

“If a man talks shit, then I owe him nothing. I don’t regret it one bit, ‘cause he had it coming.”

It’s so obvious to me who this song is about, and I’m SO here for it. I’m living for Taylor’s feisty, take-no-shit phase.

4. “Don’t Blame Me”

“My drug is my baby I’ll be usin’ for the rest of my life.”

Taylor’s vocals in this song SLAY. This is a perfect example of her really getting into the mood of the song vocally and she’s killing it.

5. “Delicate”

“Sometimes when I look into your eyes I pretend you’re mine, all the damn time.”

This song is so chill and laid-back and I love that about it. I’m yet to find a lot that stands out about this track, but I’m still a fan.

6. “Look What You Made Me Do”

“I don’t trust nobody and nobody trusts me, I’ll be the actress starring in your bad dreams.”

This track isn’t a good representation of the album whatsoever. It does well as a lead single because it’s good for radio and to get people interested, but in comparison to the other songs on this album, this one lacks substance.

7. “So It Goes”

“You know I’m not a bad girl, but I do bad things for you.”

The overall sound and instrumentation of this track is my absolute favorite. This track clearly has its own, unique sound to it which makes it stand out quite a bit.

8. “Gorgeous”

“You’ve ruined my life by not being mine.”

I loved this song the first time I heard it and I still do. It’s the best single Taylor released before the album and still one of the best songs on the album overall.

9. “Getaway Car”

“I wanted to leave him, I needed a reason.”

Maybe it’s because this track is towards the middle of the album, but I typically forget it exists.

10. “King of My Heart”

“Your love is a secret I’m hoping, dreaming, dying to keep.”

At first I didn’t really like this song, but it’s starting to grow on me. Not only can you easily dance to this song (which is always a plus) but it’s also full of some stand-out lyrics.

11. “Dancing With Our Hands Tied”

“I’m a mess but I’m the mess that you wanted.”

The chorus of this song is so powerful and really stands out. It’s taken awhile for this song to grow on me, but it’s starting to for sure.

12. “Dress”

“Say my name and everything just stops, I don’t want you like a best friend. Only bought this dress so you could take it off.”

YES. JUST YES. This song is my favorite off of reputation. It’s basically the more mature version of Wildest Dreams, because there’s no doubt in your mind that this song is about sex.

13. “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things”

“And here’s to my mama, had to listen to all this drama.”

I like this song because it’s funny and witty and clever. It’s not the deepest song on the album by any means but Taylor drops major tea in this track and it’s hilarious.

14. “Call It What You Want”

“I want to wear his initial on a chain ‘round my neck, not because he owns me, but because he really knows me.”

I really love this song. It’s a very realistic view of love, which many would say Taylor Swift lacks. It shows Taylor’s maturity as a person along with as an artist perfectly.

15. “New Year’s Day”

“Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you.”

This is one of the only slow songs on the album, but it ends the album hitting you right in the feels. This song has the perfect dash of old-Taylor feels and sound. Now, who is going to fall in love with me by New Year’s so I can play this song in the back of my mind?

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
