Reputation Hits Harder when you know the story behind it. One of the Best Comeback in the History imo. And Don't Get Me Started on the Reputation Stadium Tour. She brought the album into life. A true masterpiece. Still waiting for Rep TV!
As for the backstory: After the massive success of 1989, she was heavily cancelled. The hashtag TaylorSwiftIsOverParty was number 1 trending worldwide back in July 2016. How many people have to hate you for that to happen? People swarmed over her Instagram and Twitter and flooded her posts with snake emojis. That is one of the most difficult and trying times to be a swiftie. But we stood behind her, defended her, and remained on her side until she came back. Despite the truth coming out in 2020, the damage has been done and we already have suffered an insurmountable grief in hell for four years. Indeed. I will never get tired of saying *reputation* is the comeback of the century. Nothing can convince me otherwise. The full album rollout is the definition of epicness itself. From the social media blackout, to the drop of LWYMMD lyric video, as well as the premiere of the most epic music video ever conceived in the history of mankind during MTV VMAs 2017 that Katy hosted. She even embraced the snake motif that people used to bully her. As well as the epic album rollout from August 23, 2017 to November 10, 2017 despite the _there is no explanation, there will just be reputation_ campaign. Despite critics saying that *reputation* isn't a comeback album since the preceding album, 1989, was her most successful (before 1989 Taylor's Version was released), considering the cancellation and the hardships we went through, *reputation* will be our comeback album, and it is undeniably the comeback of the century. Since she was cancelled before, predictions say that the *reputation stadium tour* in 2018 is too ambitious (as it is an all stadium tour) and she will be playing in near-empty stadiums. Jokes on them since the *reputation stadium tour* was the most successful North American tour (until it was overtaken by The Eras Tour). Now that people are finally awake and are able to appreciate her brilliance, now is the best and happiest time to be a swifty. I hope we stay happy for a long time.
Love reputation. It’s the perfect revenge album. She’s angry in some songs, but the rest are love songs, which is the best kind of revenge. She’s just singing about being in love & letting karma work it’s magic
am gonna keep sayin this how is not liking taylor swift songs means not respecting women , i dont like her song but i like lana del ray , olivia rodrigo and many other Artists , wait according to swifties i dont respect women nvm comments like this make people actually hate on taylor swift fans fr fr
@@LordM7-ln1dbyou didn’t understand the point of OP’s comment. It’s about the men who shit on her for the sake of doing so, that have no real valid criticisms as to why they don’t like her, and how THAT comes from misogyny. Particularly the dudes who are crying about her being shown at Chiefs games for less than 25 seconds in an entire 3 hour game. Art is subjective, if Taylor isn’t your thing, that’s cool. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
This is such a top tier album for me because the lyrics and the production are so in sync with how the lyrics are supposed to make you feel/how Taylor felt when she was going through it. She mentioned that she always wants to be able to take a song & have it be tripped back down acoustically, despite whatever production was added to it which I sooo much appreciate. A 10/10 no skip album.
I think Reputation has got one of the best love songs ever written and I thank Joe for being there for taylor during the hardest times of her life. As much as I'm so excited for Reputation TV, I still wonder how Taylor's gonna re-record the songs without thinking of Joe
So much of this album is a love letter to Joe and it really reminds us that, for awhile, he was exactly who and what she needed. I love this album and I cannot wait for the vault tracks.
New Year’s Day hits different for me now. My mom passed in May this year and she had this incredible huge laugh. It was embarrassing as a kid. What I’d give to hear it one more time. I’d recognize it anywhere ❤️❤️
i think the songs on this album benefit from being listened to all together because of how the themes & stories intertwine. once you’ve listened to the album in whole a few times the songs themselves all become stronger when listened to on their own!! so it makes sense that y’all didn’t revisit many of the one-off songs you reacted to from rep the first time around & had better appreciations for them this time!! great reaction, thanks yall 🫶🏼
You guys absolutely LOVING my favorite song (DWOHT) made my day. I'm so happy that you guys enjoyed it so much. The lyrics are amazing and so are the melodies and vibes. The netflix tour film has her doing it acoustically and it's absolutely gorgeous. You'll love it!!
I love how sincere and thoughtful you guys are with your observations. Even when you're not crazy about the song, you're so respectful, I'm pumped for your reaction to the concert.
This is why I could never hate Joe 😢 He inspired most of these wonderful love songs and loved Taylor when she felt like the whole world was against her - and something about that is so pure 🥺🤍
Same! I could never join the hate train most people have for him. Yeah, they broke up, but he doesn't deserve the hate. Nobody does. Whatever happened between them is THEIR business. And if their love runs its course, then so be it. Life happens.
OH MY GOD THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!! 😭❤ Reputation is suchhhh a VIBE! Your OG reaction video to Ready for It, Endgame & Dress (& Getaway Car too) will always slap but I was waiting for the full reaction to see your 1st reactions to the rest of the songs cuz the production is INSANE (I wish I would’ve gotten to see your OG react to Dong Blame Me cuz I’ve seen a short clip of it somewhere)! Love you guys! Just a friendly suggestion for the editing: PLZZZ don't cut out the bridges of the songs!!! 😭😭😭 Also, It would be nice to see the whole screen with the lyrics and the Twich chat too like the older videos...
Guys u have no idea how much i cried when reputation was released after all the backlash, media critics, hates and world cancelling she's been thru this album proves she can still reign. Its been so hard for Swifties as well during that time because left and right we defended TS. Then years later the truth came out Taylor Swift never lied. 😭
it hurts now to listen to some of the songs and specially new year's day after their breakup.... knowing she wrote most of this for him and now he has become a stranger whose laugh she would recognize anywhere
ahhh, i've been waiting for this reaction! this album and era in and of itself was so so special to experience and continues to be as the years pass by. taylor and her discography's been by my side through every success and hardship i've experienced as i've grown. with that being said, it's so special to witness y'alls first-time reactions to the soundtrack of my life. much love to you guys -- can't wait for more 🖤🖤🖤
She has a bunch of videos of her and others writing/recording/producing these songs. Y’all should watch that it’s actually really fun to see her create.
fun fact: Olivia Rodrigo used the same chords as Taylor in New Year’s Day in her song 1 step forward, 3 steps back off SOUR and gave Taylor writers credits!
Why is that a fun fact Taylor Swift obviously dosnt want Olivia Rodrigo to succeed as an artist. Taylor swift music is really good but it seems like she dosnt want Olivia Rodrigo to do well in her career.
Darriel's face when she said "trust him like a brother" 👀 dont worry, that was me too the first time I heard it! Sometimes I just wish she wouldn't but I love her
The men have the best reading comprehension. I’ve been a swifty for years, know all the words, and don’t understand the songs as well as they do on their first listen
'She's in love with somebody in this album'..... absolutely agree....it took me a looooong time to realise this album had some of her BEST LOVE SONGS!!!
King of My Heart live performance is literally my favorite thing I've ever seen her do. It's so joyful and full of love, and I love how tribal they made it and how focused they were on her and her main dancer. Gorgeous stage production. I could cry just thinking about it. 💖💗💖💗💖
When this album came out I was not ready for the sound. I honestly didn’t like Look What You Made Me Do, at the time I didn’t know the beef going on, and she deleted everything on her Twitter and posted that music video and I was SO confused. Then I revisited while watching the Stadium Tour on Netflix when that came out and I was in LOVE. I really missed out not going to see it live.
You should react to the eras concert "Don't blame me + look what you made me do" the choreography is amazing. It is the most dramatic performance in eras tour.
When y’all started this did you ever think you’d know Taylor’s whole discography 😂 you’ve seen all the eras in 1 year basically. I love that Miss Swift can bring out the stink face from both of you on look what you made me do
You guys are so awesome, I just love watching the looks on your faces when you realize a song hit just right for you. Such an awesome journey! Keep it up gentlemen!😎❤🫶
A little bummed out that King Of My Heart didn't get appreciation😢, but it's ok haha, I get that not many people liked KOMH😅 Also reputation is an S-Tier Album, along with Red and 1989, convince me otherwise with T.S. merches😂😂 reputation bridges are to die for: Don't Blame Me, Delicate, Gorgeous, Getaway Car, King Of My Heart, Dancing With Our Hands Tied, Dress, Call It What You Want, New Year's Day. I mean even So It Goes...,... Ready For It?, End Game, I Did Something Bad, This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things, Look What You Made Me Do having weak bridges compared to the former songs are great
