Reputation HITS DIFFERENT when you know the history behind it. One of The Best Comeback in History imo, and don't get me started on the REPUTATION STADIUM TOUR, she really brought the masterpiece of an album into Life! Can't wait for Rep TV and the Vault Tracks!
What is the history behind it?
@@retalmiyy6023 to make it short: it's about Kanye and the Kardashions ruining her reputation and all the media hating on Taylor, so it really hurt her mental health and she was hiding for a whole year only to came back and use what they said about her (like the snake thing) and used it for herself. It was iconic and still is. Especially since later the unedited version of the infamous phone call proved that Taylor was saying the truth all along.
“HITS DIFFERENT” *I see what you did there*
The rep tour film actually completely changed my mind about the album- I HATED it at first, but it’s in my top 3 fave albums of hers now
“Everyone would tune out of a three hour reaction video” - have you met us? 😂 her concert is 3.5 hours and we watch it all the time lol but honestly, do whatever you feel more comfortable with, we like all reactions anyways
Came here to say this. Swifties are always hungry for content.
Exactly! I would absolutely tune in for a 4+ hour reaction. I hung out for hours with Knox Hill while he was breaking down Hamilton in a live stream.
@@inmyReputation-Era I love Knox hill! 😂!
@@IvyCowboy I’d bring popcorn 🫡
Reputation was her 2nd pop album, her first was 1989, but 1989 was bright 80s pop with no darkness or distortion.

as a swiftie, i always go for the LONGEST reaction videos :D
so pleas consider that. love your reactions so much btw
Appreciate it!
@@WesLinkza lot of use do
who likes cut reactions right hahahah
the RATTTATTATTAT in I Did Something Bad is indeed her voice. She woke up in the middle of the night when that sound came to her, and then she recorded it on her phone xD
as a swiftie i didnt know this! omgggg
@@Joel-nm6xn if you want to see when she recorded it and talked about how she thought of that in the middle of the night watch "Taylor Swift Now - the making of a song" by love, swifties. Its a really good video.
@@Joel-nm6xnyou should check out Taylor's "The Making of..." which is her making the songs of Rep
We love non-Swifties actually giving her a chance 🖤
I would argue that reputation is one of the best albums in her discography for JUST the story behind it and the full context! Production wise it’s very experimental and that’s why everyone loves it so much (it’s personally one my favorites) but if you want songwriting and more deep cuts Folklore and Evermore are for sure the best albums for that
And now Tortured Poets Department
dude your reaction videos to taylor swift albums are so genuine and humble as a man, i myself as a man get critisisied so much for bening swifty, its so refreshing seeing a dude react to TS albums and actually like them for what they are...keep it up, i subbed (BTW sorry for my english, i'm not a native, nor do i live in english speaking country) i live in Iran
Makes me so happy to see more men being introduced to Taylor, whether it be from their girlfriends, the internet, the eras tour, or just pure curiosity. It does make me sad however that many men who support Taylor or listen to her music are shamed or judged. I’ve noticed this with the men in my life. My boyfriend of 5 years was not a Taylor fan and was kind of on the bandwagon most men were on about how she’s just an annoying pop star with radio hits about her exes. He ended up coming to the Eras tour with me and is now a full swiftie, even though there is stigma around it. My brother who is 12, is also a swiftie and I have seen that he tends to not be as vocal about it as his friends/peers judge him for this. I told him to embrace what he likes and it does not matter what other people think or say about it, now he collects her vinyls and posters in his room on full display and blasts her music proudly. Good for you for not being affected by others and liking what you like. And your English was just fine, well done :)
fun fact : don't blame me wasn't a single😭
Reputation Lore alert!!
Reputation was actually one of the biggest comebacks ever by an artist in the music industry. Idk if u r aware but Kanye West (with Kim Kardashian) had a long feud with Taylor and that led to Taylor being hated by literally the whole internet. She has a documentary talking about it and that time in her life. # fucktaylorswift was trending in twitter worldwide, while hate for Taylor was being spread by Kanye, with highlight one of his concerts where him and all of his fans were shouting "Fuck Taylor Swift". She went on a hiatus, nobody saw her anywhere for a whole year. Until she came back with "Look what u made me do" and everyone went mad. Ppl loved it, especially her fans, seeing how badly she was treated everywhere and finally she had broken her silence. This whole album is, basically, her coming back stronger than ever (which is maybe the reason why the sound in this record is darker than her usual stuff), while simultaneously falling madly in love with a person that ended up being her partner for 7 tears! Thats why this album and era is dear to all swifties, and i assure u, everyone loved it at that time and they still do, years later.
We went insaaaaaane when this came out. It was THE come back. She pretty much saved herself from being exiled from the music industry. It was a middle finger for everyone who crossed her. And it has aged like fine wine because it is one of our favourite “eras.” Each TS album is an era, btw.
And this was her second pop album, it came out after 1989.
RepTV is going to be insane... And with the recent garbage in the media, it's coming at a perfect time!
“King of My Heart” performed during the Reputation tour goes 1 million times harder 😊
can’t wait for you to react to folklore and evermore!! you should definitely do the deluxe versions since it’s just one/two songs more than the standard
This was my #1 album every year since…it was exactly what she needed to put out. I’m eagerly awaiting Taylor’s version - can’t wait to hear the vault tracks!
The live performance and music videos for Reputation are iconic. Since you've already reacted to the songs, you don't need to react to these videos, but you really ought to at least see them:

Also, there is a million hours worth of Tay-lore floating around on the internet and a lot of it is essential to life. Since you liked the "rat-ta-ta-ta-tatya in "I Did Something Bad" I will offer this as an example. (I suggest starting around the 4:00 mark if you want to go straight to the awesome stuff.)
Taylor Swift NOW: The Making Of A Song (I Did Something Bad)
czcams.com/video/WwJ_hHT5vw8/video.html
Seriously: The visual aspects of Taylor's discography are amazing.
What about the End Game Video. That is good one too.
Fun fact: track 5 in her albums are always the most personal and vulnerable
I’ve never gotten the endgame hate 😔 thank you for enjoying one of my favorite songs on this album!! 😊 another great vid!
End game superiority ❤
It's my fav
Mine too!!
I feel like over the years, the hate eventually ended and people started appreciating it especially tay's verse
Endgame for me is an ok song just because I feel like the future's part isn't as good as Ed's or Taylor's and I don't like rap. I don't dislike it.
My wife has been a swifty since we were in high school. I have always heard her music but never listened until midnights. Now having gone back through her discography in no particular order midnights, reputation, and folklore are top 3 for me. Song writing on folklore is amazing. All to well 10 minute version is one of her best songs also imo
YES! I’m so happy you’re continuing your journey! ❤️ excited for the rest!
Reputation is different. It was her feeling exiled, persecuted, judged, yet vulnerable and no longer caring. Letting those toxic people that hurt her go. Finding love again.we were all here and supportive and couldn’t wait to hear what she had to say however she wanted to say it. That’s the thing with Swifties, we have loved and supported her through it all. We don’t care the genre or the style,we just want to hear what she does next.
this album is definitely the most different Taylor has compared to the others, but it was necessary. It was her catharsis for the difficult personal time she had during 2016. Great reaction anyway. We will wait for your reaction to Folklore and Evermore, two incredible gems 😊
Also, I think if you watch the music video for "Look What You Made Me Do," it just hits differently. The visuals are stunning, paired with the music. I used to dislike that song just because it was so overplayed, but learning about her history with Kim and Kanye, the lyrics honestly CUTTTTTT.
Her 5th tracks are more vulnerable and sad so track 5 is a big deal for the fandom
Watching this AFTER the new album was announced and giggling at your opening comment.
thanks for listening to her discography and enjoying it :) it’s so fun watching people listen to good stuff for the first time!
I love reputation because it begins with bitterness and “I don’t need anyone” and stepping into the role the world had painted for you but over time almost against her will it turns into falling in love with someone who lives outside of all that vitriol and loves her for the soft parts of her and teaches her to let that side of herself thrive again 😢
When Reputation first came out, I really didn’t like it. It was a huge change from the sound we were used to hearing from her. About a year after it came out I revisited it and since then it has been my favourite album of hers ever and in fact my favourite album of all time. There isn’t a single day that goes by that I haven’t listened to Reputation. It’s honestly just a masterpiece.
Same happened to me!!!!!
Same!!! Literally SAME 😂 absolutely hated it at first, it’s my favourite now
Can't wait for rep tv and everyone knows with EVERY re-recording comes with VAULT SONGS
Love it! I know you said Folklore next and I think that it's a good warm-up for Evermore because I think you will love the production there. Looking forward to more!
When you listen to the Taylor’s Versions. Split them up. One video to react to the original tracks on the album. The second video could be the vault tracks. Especially with Red TV and Fearless TV, you’ll want to do that. Then your videos won’t be too horribly long. The only albums out of her first 6 that don’t have “Taylor’s Version” yet are Reputation and her self-titled album. :) LOVE YOUR TS CONTENT BTW
You have to do her Folklore album next
tbh if hes going to pop he might aswell go to 1989
Yes, please do Folklore
based on your reaction you just have to see “folklore” next cause it has hands down the best songwriting, i just love it
Taylor is a prolific story teller…Amazing!
I forgot to leave my thoughts about when Reputation first came out, the song "Look What You Made Me Do" was a shock, but after watching the MV and reading the comments, it came together what it was about, the tilted stage, Kanye performed on a tilted stage, and of course, at the very end of the video there are all the Taylors from previous MV and performances in line and one said "what's with that b!tch" and the reply was "don't call me that" the lyric in Kanye's song Famous "I made that b!tch famous" all came together. All the love songs are of her boyfriend Joe Alwyn, a British actor, he was with her from Reputation, Lover, folklore, evermore and Midnights, so she was with the same guy for over 6 years. It kind of irked me when you kept saying she dated a lot of men. If a man does it, nothing is said. The reality is she has only dated about 12 guys and has had her heart broken too, at the age of 34, 12 is not that bad. Anyway, Reputation has aged well and is my favorite album.
If you want an album with mind blowing lyrics, you need to listen to folklore and evermore 😊 - love your reactions 🤭🩵
Is so funny your pick up at 1:12:23 about Midnights, because pretty much both albums and songs in reputation and midnights is about the same relationtionship/person, but reputation is the start of it and midnights is about the break up
Yes, she dated Joe for 6 years.
As a swiftie, I appreciate your honest opinion! I love rep, but completely understand where you’re coming from regarding her experimenting and the difference between this and midnights. Your videos helped with my study session so much appreciated!
Rep was only her second Pop album and its vastly different to the previous pop album, 1989
You could still listen to the Taylor’s version of the albums and just stick to reacting to the songs on the original album to begin with. So that then it wouldn’t be too long and you could support Taylor at the same time :) love your reactions btw!
I love your reactions. I highly suggest doing folklore next if you want to check out her slower stuff but i think you should react to it by watching the long pond studio sessions movie. It gives so much important context.
Yass Reputation my no. 1 fav album!🖤
Also if u want slower album then go for evermore or folklore
I would definitely recommend checking out the videos for the albums you’ve reacted to at some point. They’re on another level.
Swiftie since I was 12 (now 25) and I will never forget the first time I heard Ready For It. It is SO different from anything else she ever did before this.
most of these songs are written about joe alwyn actually
Look What You Made Me Do and This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things are about The Kim-YE accident
Hahah it's funny what you said about her songwriting, she definitely went more light breeze with some lyrics on this album, but she had her definitive singer-songwriter albums years back with RED, where she does incredible storytelling and lyricism and incredible catchy melodies. Before that she did speak now composing alone. It's fair that you took it like: look at his face, but is her being just fun, because this girl not only can compose a melody/music that would stuck in your head forever but she does incredible lyricism.
Her songwriting has been great for the longest time, you MUST listen to her solo-write album which is Speak Now. I agree that Midnights lyrics are better since it's not a fully pop album like reputation. I feel like Midnights is an alternative pop album.
You’ve got to watch Don’t Blame Me live!!
“My little party mood 🎉” I’m right there with you 😆
I just know you’d love the live tour there’s a rock element to it because of her band and she sounds amazing live
You can divide the video. Like part 1 and 2
For me REPUTATION is my religion when it comes to Taylor swift
We loved Rep then, and we still love it now. 🎉
if you wanna hear her slower music folklore and evermore are amazing!
Other video ideas for reaction:
*2014 SWIFTMAS - when Taylor stalked her fans online then surprised them with Christmas presents
*Reputation Secret Sessions - when Taylor had hand-picked fans to attend a secret release of Reputation
*SNL appearances (skits & music appearances) incl the All To Well 10 min version performance
*appearances on Seth Meyers late night show, Stephen Colbert late night show
As a lifetime swiftie I really had to grow to love Rep. it was not a favorite when it first came out. But her first single had then line of “the old Taylor can’t come to the phone cause she’s dead” and that made me feel so kind of way. But it’s now my top album ❤
I'd been a long-term Taylor fan by the time Rep came out, and I was so excited for it. And then I hated it like I've rarely hated music before in my life and didn't listen to it again for about 3 years. Still listened to everything else, but I just could not get past. When I did eventually come back to it at a different stage in my life, I didn't immediately like it exactly, but I didn't viscerally hate it that time around and I started letting the songs play when they came up in playlists. Now, it features some of my all time fave Taylor songs, so I definitely think it aged very well
"Some of these songs are about my life, some of these songs are about fictional characters that I created, but my hope in all of this at the end of the day, these songs will be songs that you think are about your life and that you feel genuinely are about your own life." "These songs were once about my life. They are now about yours." Both TayTat quotes. You are absolutely correct that the songs are up to your interpretation and meaning to you. SOME swifties act like you absolutely HAVE to know the 'lore' to appreciate her music and they are wrong.
For me, the lyrics on Reputation are actually my favourite she’s ever written because personally they are definitely very relatable and when you really study the lyrics they have actually got a lot of meaning and are very deep.
I'm still salty she didn't get a Grammy nomination for this one.
you can react to her taylors version albums without a longer vids, you can make it like part 1 and part 2, for example part 2 for the "from the vault" tracks
Reputation is my favorite Taylor album and it has been since I first listened to it the second it released
please make sure in the future if you do:
Fearless
Speak Now
1989
Red
that they’re TAYLORS VERSIONS. Don’t stream the original, listen to the rerelease! Support her and not the old label that stole her shit
Yes then we get all the tea in the vault tracks 🥰
No you are so right lol reputation love songs are about Travis from now on, especially after the game yesterday 😂❤😊
But the muse was joe Alwyn just sayin
@@tothelakes sure, that's fair. I'm just happy that she is so happy now 🫶
@@LanaJulie33 yeah me too
the ratata in i did something bad is just taylors voice with a bunch of effects and stuff, theres a making of video on it
I really hope you can react to her album called Lover.. I mean it is almost Valentine’s Day and would make perfect sense right🤪? Anyways End Game literally makes sense to be about Travis it’s like she was manifesting him back then and didn’t know it yet. I really enjoy watching the longer videos love to see your reaction and interpretation of each song 👍
You gotta watch the video for “look what you made me do”…it’ll change your outlook 🎉❤😊
The ratatatatatat that you love so much is Taylor's VOICE!! You should find the YT video of her creating it. It's such a fun watch!!
Her live performances of "Don't Blame Me" hit even HARDER than the track. Both from Rep Tour and Eras Tour. But the Eras Tour one transitions into "Look What You Made Me Do" and it's sooooo freaking epic!!!
Speak now next please!! 🙏 it was completely self written between 18-20.
"and i bury hatchets but i keep maps of where I put em" in endgame song is such a creative way of saying "I forgive but I never forget".
And reputation is considered her weakest in songwriting and lyrically? Yeah maybe. But lyrics on reputation are still soo cool if you know the context behind this album. No generic pop songs will have such lyrics imo.
I recommend you to watch Reputation tour performances, it enhances the songs 100% and visually tell the story of this album.
If you love midnights like I do, I would really like to see your reactions to the extra songs on the midnights 3am version. There are 7 songs, and they are amazing! Plus the song called “Losing Me” is also an extra sonf…and it’s heartbreaking and worth the listen. So total of 8 songs! You will love them, they really add to my love of midnights.
well deluxe songs from taylor is not the same as from other artists i would say though, they are as great songs as standard version songs, it’s just too many songs and she put them on different editions, especially 3am edition of Midnights
I’m sure someone’s already mentioned but on “I did something bad”- that sound u liked is a voice note she created in the middle of the night. (U can see the making of it in a video on here )
Thought you might enjoy seeing the making of "I Did Something Bad" and the "ratatatatata" sound. There's a whole series of these - of her writing & producing Reputation. Swifties would probably love it if you reacted to the whole thing ijs. I'm very curious to see what you'll think of Folklore/Evermore. Her best written albums imo.
czcams.com/video/WwJ_hHT5vw8/video.htmlsi=Vsx70laYYFP4q8QY (Making of I Did Something Bad)
Babe you can do parts. We NEED to see you react to Midnights 3am and Till Dawn, and also all of the vault songs from the other albums pleaseeEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
I recommend listening to Folklore albume (original or Long pond session). It’s a lot slower but amazing lyrics and voice (most of them are imaginary stories not about her life).
My tears ricochet- it’s assumed (by her fans) to be about her old music label that stole her music
Cardigan - August -Betty are 3 songs about an imaginary love triangle (each from a different pov)
Folklore NeXT please 🩶😊
This is my favorite album. ❤❤❤
if you liked the album version of don't blame, you would LOVE the live at the reputation stadium tour
It’s Taylor doing the vocal bit.
OK, but of course I would prefer if you would review Taylor‘s version albums which are the ones she owns. Her or Taylor‘s version of reputation album should be coming out very soon and I very much hope you go back and review that as well as the vault songs that will contain.
For me I loved this album and cant wait for the re release Taylors version. The Reputation Live Tour is kick a**. I call it her Revenge Tour since it deals with the media, Kanye West, Kim Kardashion and the haters. So she reinvented herself and was like go ahead and light me up. She flipped the tables and used it to her advantage. You should listen to her live Reputation Tour. Also her Folklore long pond sessions in her studio. Stay safe❤
Definitely with Taylor a must is Lyrics, Live and Video. They are all a must!! Don't Blame Me - Take me to church, Taylor!!
You would be blown away if you saw the live performances.
I like your hair! And I recommend you listen to Folklore
Omg i clicked so fast ❤❤❤
so yeah first half is vigilante shit but more aggressive sonically, and the album turns into a love album. not really on my top 5 but this record is something that really is a worth visiting to if you’re gonna dive into her discography.
i gotta say this is the weakest album lyrically but getaway car is the only song here that reminds me of her classic story-telling, vividly pictured style of songwriting which makes it a real standout to the record. probably even one of the best pop songs she has ever made.
Her reputation with men has always rubbed me the wrong way, considering she was dating the same guy for all of her last 5 albums including this one.
not that it's justified still, but in fairness to when this album came out, that wasn't the case. Still bugs me how much of a double standard there was for her back then, but I think her reputation with men is different now. It's not so much that she "goes through guys" but that she writes songs based on her life experiences and romantic feelings. But when this album came out, there was WAY more speculation on her dating life because she'd jumped around more. Not an unreasonable amount, don't get me wrong. Just more than she has in these past years.
Less of a problem of "she doesn't deserve this because it isn't true" and more "no one deserves this because why the hell do people care so much" lol
That ratatatata part was actually Taylor's voice distorted
You should do folklore and red (taylor’s version)
This album is one of the best comeback in history 🖤🐍
It’s fine to listen to the OGs, don’t let the more extreme swifties convince you otherwise; sometimes the rerecordings are great, some are a little botched.
Also, she has writing credits on every song, so she always makes money. And she’s a billionaire. She’ll be ok.
Vaults are worth checking out, mostly its clear why they’ve been cut but there’s some incredible ones. The Red vault has gems.
Saaaaame, they don't understand that the re-recordings are a side project, she's reclaiming her songs but she still makes money off the originals, plus, she has failed to capture all the emotions of the OGs, TVs just don't hit the same whether they want to accept it or not
You’re so bloody good looking
“Taylor Swift” (aka Debut), “Fearless” and “Speak Now” are all country. Then during “Red” she started going a bit to pop. So that album is part country, part pop. 1989, Reputation and Lover are pop. Folklore and Evermore are more of a folk type albums. Then she went back to pop for midnights.
If you can ..can u react to her music videos they are really good like youve done midnight and rep so now you xan react to rep and midnight nusic videos
FINALLY
Sir, you are hilarious. I’m only 15 minutes in lol during I Did Something Bad, the rtatattatata lol that’s Taylor herself
