Reputation has been out for a week now and it has been on repeat ever since. Now it’s time to look a little deeper in the comprehensive album. I've already written a full album review (check that out!) but this album is too good to not pay attention to the lyrics. We all know Taylor is known for her lyrics always being elaborate and detailed- and this album did not disappoint. Here are my favorite lyrics from each song.
1. ...Ready for It?
“Baby, let the games begin”
2. End Game
(feat. Ed Sheeran & Future)
“Reputation precedes me and rumors are knee-deep, the truth is, it’s easier to ignore it, believe me”
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”
(the first curse word ever on a Taylor Swift album)
4. “Don’t Blame Me” (a personal favorite)
“My drug is my baby I’ll be usin’ for the rest of my life.”
5. Delicate
“This ain’t for the best
My reputation’s never been worse, so
You must like me for me…”
One of my favorite lyrics on the whole album.
6. “Look What You Made Me Do”
"I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now"
"Why?"
"Oh, 'cause she's dead!"
Obviously.
7. “So It Goes…”
“You know I’m not a bad girl but I would do bad things with you”
8. “Gorgeous”
“You’ve ruined my life by not being mine”
Relatable.
9. “Getaway Car”
“And a circus ain’t a love story. And now we’re both sorry”
10. “King of My Heart”
“Is this the end of all endings? My broken bones are mending”
11. “Dancing with Our Hands Tied”
“I had a bad feeling, but we were dancing”
Shout out to Calvin Harris!
12. “Dress”
“Our secret moments in a crowded room”
13. “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things”
“And here’s to you cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do….HAHA I can’t even say it with a straight face”
What’s up, Kanye?!
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.”
15. New Year’s Day”
“Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you”
My all-time favorite on Reputation.
