The rumour mill is in COMPLETE OVERDRIVE regarding Taylor Swift and her next album, I'm going to copy and paste various rumours from ATRL and see what we have!

Someone emailed TaylorSwift.com / messaged TaylorNation saying this:

Almost all of the 1989 merchandise is on sale, but some are not being restocked. Correct? Is this because taylorswift.com is making room for TS6 merch?
Thank you!

After which they were replied to with this:

Hi Abbey,
Unfortunately, the 1989 items will not be restocked. We will however, have new merchandise before Christmas.

She then asked to what type of merchandise and if it was TS6 related, to which they replied:

You'll have to wait and see

Posted by: Hadji 12th October 2016, 05:23 PM

I doubt she'll get another top 40 hit

Posted by: Ryan. 12th October 2016, 05:25 PM

Even if she stays away from Spotify, I'm pretty sure a Taylor lead single would shift 15k sales on iTunes to go top 40

Posted by: Regina 12th October 2016, 05:45 PM

Looking forward to the Hiddleston inspired lead single.

Time for her to convince me 1989 wasn't just a fluke.

I would be really intrigued to see Taylor do a surprise album release! I can't really see her matching the first-week sales of 1989 even with her traditional hyped-up release strategy, so a surprise release would be a little less predictable sales-wise. She has a lot to live up to in terms of the music too, of course, and I'm curious to see if all the media attention over the past two years will have an effect on her career.

1989 was so trite and atrocious except for the singles that I hope this will be a return to Red but with less ropey vocals.

Yes she is! I'm not sure it's really going to offer much more than an extra 1 or 2k in the UK as I'm not sure it's a big deal at all here even now, but in the US I imagine Apple Music is knocking on Spotify's door to be most popular.

All of Taylor's music is returning to Spotify and other streaming services today!!!!! So so happy cause I use predominantly Spotify and it was only Taylor that was never on there on songs I cared about!

Also rumours going around that the single will come soon (I'm guessing mid August again!) and supposedly the album is done and she played it to her record label!

Not ready for this era omg I can't wait for it to start *.*

Posted by: UltraGreenLight 9th June 2017, 11:04 AM

I'm listening to all 5 albums today and I am re-ranking them! (watch me about quadruple post in this thread in a row now if no one else posts!! )

Taylor Swift Ranking:
1) Our Song
2) Should've Said No
3) Teardrops On My Guitar (Pop Version)
4) Picture To Burn
5) Cold As You
6) Teardrops On My Guitar (Original Version)
7) Tim McGraw
8) I'm Only Me When I'm With You
9) Stay Beautiful
10) A Perfectly Good Heart
11) The Outside
12) Tied Together With A Smile
13) A Place In This World
14) Mary's Song (Oh My My My)
15) Invisible

The top 7 are Taylor classics, love #8-#9, 10 is great, 11-14 are good but in all honesty I don't ever listen to them much as well and Invisible is quite weak

Posted by: ~josh~ 9th June 2017, 01:57 PM

1) Blank Space
2) Bad Blood

Nothing like chucking your entire back catalogue onto Spotify the day your biggest rival releases her new album.

Posted by: UltraGreenLight 9th June 2017, 02:18 PM

yasss more rankings *.* 1989 rly is fab About to start listening to Red! <3

Fearless Ranking:
1) You Belong With Me
2) Love Story
3) You're Not Sorry
4) Forever & Always
5) Forever & Always (Piano Version)
6) White Horse
7) Fearless
8) Breathe
9) The Best Day
10) Hey Stephen
11) The Other Side Of The Door
12) Tell Me Why
13) Jump Then Fall
14) Change
15) The Way I Loved You
16) Fifteen
17) Untouchable
18) Come In With The Rain
19) SuperStar

I find it so hard between deciding whether I prefer this or selftitled! The highs on this are so much stronger but TS has stronger songs overall! The first 5 songs here are up there with Taylor's best and are better on anything on her first album, I pretty much really like half the other songs and the other half I find good but below average for Taylor. There is also a reason why most of those deluxe tracks were not on the main album x

Speak Now Ranking:
1) Enchanted
2) Mine (UK or US version)
3) Haunted
4) Mean
5) Better Than Revenge
6) Sparks Fly
7) The Story Of Us
8) Speak Now
9) Never Give Up
10) Superman
11) Back To December
12) Last Kiss
13) Dear John
14) Long Live
15) If This Was A Movie
16) Ours
17) Innocent

One of my favourite albums of all time! Enchanted has actually overtaken Mine for me now, it is just so stunning! Both songs are beyond incredible though. Literally my top 10 are all 10/10 tracks and above and I love 11-14, the other two bonus tracks are pretty good and Innocent is vile and remains the worst song Taylor has ever done Enchanted/Mine/Haunted/Mean/BTR/SF/TSOU are definitely up there with my favourite Taylor tracks! <3

Posted by: UltraRedLight 9th June 2017, 04:46 PM

And another double post

Listening to 1989 now and then I've listened to every Taylor album today *.*

Red Ranking:
1) All Too Well
2) I Knew You Were Trouble
3) We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
4) Red
5) State Of Grace
6) 22
7) The Moment I Knew
8) Starlight
9) Girl At Home
10) Stay Stay Stay
11) Holy Ground
12) Everything Has Changed
13) Begin Again
14) Treacherous
15) Come Back... Be Here
16) Sad Beautiful Tragic
17) The Lucky One
18) I Almost Do
19) The Last Time

This album is still beyond incredible <3 All Too Well is a masterpiece. My top 14 are all 9+/10's <3 The last few tracks are quite fillery tbh (TLT verging on bad)! Though I really wish a couple of the deluxe tracks made the main album!

1989 Ranking:
1) Shake It Off
2) Wildest Dreams
3) I Know Places
4) Out of the Woods
5) New Romantics
6) Blank Space
7) Bad Blood (Remix)
8) Style
9) Welcome to New York
10) All You Had to Do Was Stay
11) Bad Blood (Original)
12) Wonderland
13) How You Get the Girl
14) This Love
15) You Are in Love
16) Clean
17) I Wish You Would

Still a perfect pop album. SIO is still Taylor's best, #2-#5 are all in her top 10 songs ever and BS/BB/S are all 11/10! This whole album slays so badly still *.* (bar I Wish You Would). Also NR should've been on the main album!

Posted by: cqmerqn 9th June 2017, 04:52 PM

Will she do a Katy Perry and underperform this time around?

Posted by: Jack 9th June 2017, 04:56 PM

I wouldn't be surprised if she does underperform, she has a lot of hate since the last album and the public love to hate on any female pop star at the chance.

tbh I think as long as she sticks to something that isn't completely different 1989, she'll still be massive. She may lose a few people's interest here and there for 'events' over the last couple of years but her core fanbase is still as strong as ever and I don't think the backlash will affect this era. At worst I think it'll do a Prism (but with higher album sales)

Posted by: J▲hq 9th June 2017, 05:41 PM

All the negativity started before "I Don't Wanna Live Forever" and that managed to become a big hit. I think she'll be fine providing she doesn't put out something as awful as "Bon Appetit"

Presumably because the "total number of streams of a song" has updated at some point today, so it includes streams that have occurred since what counted towards the global chart.

(You get the figures by hovering over the popularity bar within the album!)

Ooh, thank you!

Posted by: Liаm 11th June 2017, 12:52 AM

My album ranks:

Taylor Swift
01 Should've Said No
02 Picture To Burn
03 Our Song
04 Teardrops On My Guitar (Original)
05 I'm Only Me When I'm With You
06 Tim McGraw
07 Teardrops On My Guitar (Pop)
08 Cold As You
09 A Place In This World
10 Stay Beautiful
11 Invisible
12 Mary's Song
13 Tied Together With A Smile
14 A Perfectly Good Heart
15 The Outside

For being her weakest single,this does well as I do love the top 8 still! Nothing on it is awful it's just everything below Stay Beautiful is pretty forgettable, just nice at best really.

Fearless
01 Love Story
02 You're Not Sorry
03 White Horse
04 Fearless
05 You Belong With Me
06 Tell Me Why
07 Breathe
08 The Way I Loved You
09 Forever & Always
10 Fifteen
11 Change
12 Hey Stephen
13 Jump Then Fall
14 Forever & Always (Piano)
15 The Other Side Of The Door
16 Come In With The Rain
17 Untouchable
18 Superstar
19 The Best Day

An album of two halves really (well, just about more than half is fab), I love down to Fifteen but never really go back to anything below that. I thin the deluxe with the added songs is a bit bloated, the UK edition that I have from release is much better for me as it has the big few highlights from the self-titled apart from Picture To Burn.

Speak Now
01 Enchanted
02 Back To December
03 Haunted
04 Mean
05 Sparks Fly
06 Speak Now
07 Dear John
08 Mine
09 Better Than Revenge
10 The Story Of Us
11 Innocent
12 If This Was A Movie
13 Ours
14 Long Live
15 Last Kiss
16 Superman
17 Never Grow Up

It feels like hersey to put The Story Of Us as 10th, such a strong album I don't really go back to the bottom 5 but I think everything down to Mine is 10/10 and then TSOU and BTR are 9s! On balance, I think it's this and Red about tied for her best album but probably this slightly ahead as there are so many flawless songs. Shame it's bogged down by possibly her worst song, Never Grow Up.

Red
01 All Too Well
02 Red
03 State Of Grace
04 We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
05 I Knew You Were Trouble.
06 Everything Has Changed
07 22
08 Starlight
09 Begin Again
10 The Moment I Knew
11 Holy Ground
12 Stay Stay Stay
13 Treacherous
14 The Lucky One
15 I Almost Do
16 The Last Time
17 Girl At Home
18 Come Back... Be Here
19 Sad Beautiful Tragic

All Too Well is f***ing STUNNING and breaks me every single time, I think it has to be my fave Taylor song just pipping Love Story to the post. I adore my top 6 on this album especially but it's really consistent down to I Almost Do, the last 4 I hardly go back to and I think SBT might be my least fave of hers next to Never Grow Up.

1989
01 Shake It Off
02 Welcome To New York
03 Blank Space
04 Out Of The Woods
05 Wildest Dreams
06 All You Had To Do Was Stay
07 New Romantics
08 Bad Blood (Original)
09 Style
10 Wonderland
11 Bad Blood (Remix)
12 I Know Places
13 I Wish You Would
14 Clean
15 How You Get The Girl
16 This Love
17 You Are In Love

This isn't far off SN or Red for me, in fact it might beat Red actually! I found this really hard to order, had my definite top 6 but then between NR and I Wish You Would they could be in basically any order.


I think my overall top 10 of hers would be something like:
01 All Too Well
02 Love Story
03 Enchanted
04 Back To December
05 Should've Said No
06 Shake It Off
07 Mean
08 Red
09 State Of Grace
10 Haunted

I was never even remotely a 'Swiftie' until '1989' arrived so I have not heard any of her previous albums in full, will get round to them eventually! I really liked 'You Belong With Me' at the time but nothing else of hers grabbed me again until 'I Knew You Were Trouble.' arrived which I was floored by! That is still my favourite song by her Then 'Shake It Off' and 'Blank Space' happened and I didn't really massively get either of them (have done a u-turn on the latter though!! that eventually clicked with me) but then I was introduced to '1989' and was shocked by how good it was! When I worked at HMV they would constantly play it and I fell in love with some of the songs that I would keep hearing. 'Bad Blood' was initially my least favourite but grew on me massively with the single treatment as the production was far more slick and the addition of Kendrick was brilliant. 'Out Of The Woods' was my instant highlight and is still the best song from the album I think my top 5 to come out of the era are: 01) Out Of The Woods 02) All You Had To Do Was Stay 03) Bad Blood (Remix) 04) Wildest Dreams 05) Style, with 'Blank Space' and the beautiful and underrated 'This Love' just outside. Such a good album, so off the back of it I am very hyped for the new era!

Overall T-Swizzle top 15 out of those I know:

01) I Knew You Were Trouble.
02) Out Of The Woods
03) All You Had To Do Was Stay
04) Bad Blood (Remix)
05) Wildest Dreams
06) Style
07) You Belong With Me
08) This Love
09) Blank Space
10) Safe & Sound
11) I Wish You Would
12) Red
13) New Romantics
14) The Story Of Us
15) Back To December

It definitely just needs to end because I'm fed up of the fact that if either one so much as breathes, the two fanbases and media will have a field day that it was shade It's getting so tiring as a huge Taylor stan and someone who really likes Katy by and large, some of our lot act like you're the devil incarnate for liking Katy and vice versa for Katy fans when you like Taylor, and I'm fed up of the pettiness of the fanbases. But most of all I'm fed up of the media stirring things, I'm sure it'll be a "publicity stunt" in the minds of some though if they did publicly move on

Posted by: UltraReputation 27th August 2017, 01:00 AM

Amongst all the LWYMMD hype and seeing this have 15 songs, I completely missed LWYMMD is track #6 on the album! That's the same tracklist number as Shake It Off and I've seen some theories on Instagram that this could be part of a theme like the first 5 tracks are typical Taylor before the album changes style with the new Taylor or the opposite way round with it getting darker and darker until Taylor 'dies' on track 6!

November is too far away!!

Is it just me that feels like all the hype for this era has gone already? Ik this is her 'dark' era or whatever but LLYMMD is falling hard in the UK and to an extent the US, in the Netherlands it's already down to #39 behind old ass songs like Shape Of You and Attention

Posted by: Ryan. 5th October 2017, 09:07 PM

I do think they need to move on to single 2, Look What You Made Me Do did an excellent job but it was always going to be a short-term single. I think the fact they seem to have moved away from properly pushing Ready For It? means that they are going to launch a new single 2 shortly, I think they need to do so within the next 2 weeks.

They definitely need a second single, LWYMMD was one of t hose songs that made a huge impact for a bit but burnt out once the "omg this video is amazing" hype died out. RFI just hasn't been pushed enough to remedy that because it presumably isn't actually the second single.

I actually don’t think Taylor is going to do as well as everyone predicts, I mean ‘Ready For It’ hasn’t really performed well and and look what you made Me Do had to get discounted to stop the free fall in America! I mean sure she’s going to get number one worldwide, just not with the sales I originally expected!

Posted by: Jonjo 15th October 2017, 12:47 PM

What did Red and 1989 open with in both UK and US? I can't decide whether it'll open bigger than 1989 or just about fall short..

Oh and I didn't realise about the tour bundles and stuff. So yeah, she'd probs still beat Eminem.

Posted by: Liаm 15th October 2017, 12:55 PM

She's got 600k from Target and iTunes pre-orders alone apparently So she's got this yaaass.

Red opened with 1.21 million and 1989 opened with 1.28. I think it'll probably just fall short of those but still clear of a million.

Of course we must listen all songs, but based on the first two singles my main association - it's her "Erotica".

Hoping Getaway Car can join Taylor's other iconic track 9's in being in the top 3 songs on the album! <3 (Should've Said No, You're Not Sorry, Enchanted & Wildest Dreams were all track 9's *.*)

I don't understand why her/her team are so bothered about a tracklist 'leaking' early. Like, the whole thing is out in three days, she should have announced it officially two weeks ago rather than giving us half-arsed promo singles/videos.

Posted by: SKOB 8th November 2017, 04:21 PM

Given that there are fewer and fewer places to buy albums, that sounds very high. I know it has huge preorder numbers from Target but it must still move 500k units elsewhere too

Go ahead and light me up
Light me up

They say I did something bad, then why does it feel so good?
Most fun I’ve ever had, and I’d do it over and over and over again if I could

Not Taylor making an accidental white supremacist anthem on an album where she's using hip-hop production and attempting to rap~

I look forward to the reviews tomorrow.

Posted by: UltraReputation 9th November 2017, 06:14 PM

First listen ranking:

12/10
1. Look What You Made me Do
2. Don't Blame Me - a masterpiece
3. End Game - so impressed, on trend and a modern smash

11/10
4. Getaway Car - mini OOTW, this goes off
5. Call It What You Want
6. Ready For It
7. I Did Something Bad - love the verses and chorus + prediction is killer

10/10
8. Dancing With Our Hands Tied - the verses are 13/10 and it goes off
9. King Of My Heart - just a fab pop song! The verses and chorus are highlights of the album but I need to get used to the pre-chorus and the chorus breakdown!
10. This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things - love this, a bop

9/10
11. New Years Day - beautiful but missing that extra spark to make this a highlight
12. Delicate - fab song but doesn't stand out compared to the rest of the album, love the reputation lyric *.*
13. Gorgeous - lyrics that could cut glass

7.5/10
14. So It Goes - good but filler

6.5/10
15. Dress - average filler

I'm so impressed ❤️❤️

Delicate
Getaway Car
King of My Heart
Dancing With Our Hands Tied
Call It What You Want
New Year's Day

This sound is the kind of 1989 follow-up I would have been happy with. The production on this album is good but too homogeneous. End Game is going to be a big hit though, although it's v meh

You can tell Jack really produces what his artists want rather than him imposing his ideas on them.

Posted by: UltraReputation 9th November 2017, 07:03 PM

I'm starting to think I already prefer Don't Blame Me to LWYMMD I am utterly obsessed with it. <3

I'm intrigued to see what the growers will be! I Know Places was my least fave on 1989 during its release week but is now comfortably in my top 5 on the album!!

I feel nothing listening to this album. It's all very much just there but nothing stands out in a good or bad way.

Posted by: Davidson 9th November 2017, 10:00 PM

About to give this my first listen.

Kind of tentative as I haven't been impressed with the material so far this era and I am finding her more and more insufferable. '1989' was a fantastic pop album though and I am willing myself to like this.

Let's see how this goes.

Posted by: Juliano 9th November 2017, 10:37 PM

A strong album! End Game will of course be a single, I can see I Did Something Bad being popular and having a great video. I really loved Delicate at first listen. Dancing With Our Hands Tied is SUCH a fantastic surprise! Could imagine a DJ Fresh remix. Dress is the most meh track for me, plus the lyrics are so used. This Is Why We Can't Have Nice things is also a surprise, definitely takes off from where Look What You Made Me Do left off. The singles of course are strong, I'd say I would like an era like this:

Single 3: End Game
Single 4: I Did Something Bad
Single 5: Delicate
Single 6: Dancing With Our Hands Tied

And this is just after 2 listens.

Posted by: Davidson 9th November 2017, 10:43 PM

First listen rate:

01.5 ...Ready For It? (still think the verses are one of the most tragic things I have heard this year)
05.0 End Game (Future is actually the highlight on this - these kind of lyrics are exactly what I was hoping the album wouldn't be full of)
00.0 I Did Something Bad (what a f***ing mess, the production is awful and the lyrics again are tragic and show she just doesn't get it)
06.0 Don't Blame Me
08.0 Delicate (the first song to be at all likable, the chorus really is incredibly melodic and actually rather lovely)
03.0 Look At What You Made Me Do (still absolute shite)
05.0 So It Goes...
08.0 Gorgeous (I was hoping for more songs similar to this on here but the standard has been much worse so far)
07.0 Getaway Car
06.0 King Of My Heart (why is the production on this album so jarring and why does she insist on pretend rapping over potentially good songs - so much wasted potential)
06.0 Dancing With Our Hands Tied (again I was enjoying until that trashy production on the chorus, ffs)
05.0 Dress
-01.0 This Why We Can't Have Nice Things (possibly one of the worst songs of the year? on what planet was she on when she thought this was good)
06.5 Call It What You Want (trying to be this album's 'Wildest Moments' but it is lacking a chorus and ends up feeling pleasant but flat)
04.0 New Year's Day


NOPE. '1989' must have been a fluke because this is even worse than I was expecting. I was expecting it to be bad lyrically but was at least expecting some strong choruses and undeniably high production value and I got neither.

I'll keep 'Gorgeous', 'Delicate', 'Getaway Car' and at a push 'Call It What You Want' but even that is kinda disposable. What a massive comedown from '1989' where I genuinely enjoyed every song.

Posted by: Ryan. 9th November 2017, 10:58 PM

This is EVEN better than 1989 was on first listen! I remember 1989 took two or three listens for its amazingness to properly sink in whereas this one is an instant wow. Initial highlights from the album tracks are probably End Game, Don't Blame Me, Getaway Car and This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things. I think So It Goes..., King of My Heart and Dress are probably the only "filler"-type songs and they are still very very good fillers. 1989 had just as many "fillers" (the last three tracks) and that's a shorter album.

Once again Taylor has SMASHED it out of the park and this is the best album of the year for me. Will it become my favourite Taylor album, time will tell! It's currently a close fight between Speak Now and 1989 for that depending whether I'm on a country day or a pop day, maybe reputation will take over 1989?

Posted by: mdh 9th November 2017, 11:04 PM

how has she managed to make this album sound so contrived and void of any creativity i'll never know, surely has to be a contender for one of the worst of the year? 1989 was great but this is a massive step down.

It’s an album of two halves for me. Half is lovely, romantic, 80s synthy production. And half is bitter punches in the face with really clunky lyrics that show that Kim and Kanye got under her skin way too much and clouded her songwriting abilities.

Posted by: Liаm 9th November 2017, 11:39 PM

First proper full listen rate (heard some of them more than once from the earlier leaks when just a couple of songs leaked):

10 ...Ready For It? (really hits as an opener, it hypes you up so much to hear the rest! Let the games begin indeed x)
10 End Game (ok this is HUGE, has to be the next single, if this isn't a multi week number 1 I'll be shocked! Ed sounds so much better on a song like this than the dreary Westlife cast off he's currently peddling)
11 I Did Something Bad (HUGE, LORD JESUS CHRIST the production!!!)
09.5 Don't Blame Me (this GOES OFF)
07.5 Delicate (this feels a bit off in the tracklist as it's more subdued coming after two bangers, but it's subtly lovely and I can see this being the grower that really creeps up on you on further listens as you pick out different bits)
10 Look What You Made Me Do (still as much a tune as first listen *.*)
08 So It Goes (I think some of the other songs on the album do this vibe better but I love the chorus!)
09.5 Gorgeous (the lyrics still make this for me, totally nails that unrequited crush feeling and the production is lovely)
09.5 Getaway Car (v 80s, not QUITE a highlight for me but this is deffo gonna be a fan fave)
09 King Of My Heart (again love the production and chorus *.*)
07.5 Dancing With Our Hands Tied (boppy enough but others on the album do this better)
07 Dress (nice vibe but I can't imagine me going back to it much outside of just listening to the whole album
09 This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things (gives me slight Royals teas in places, I love the melody but it's deffo gonna be one the "haters" can go for lyrically lmao)
08.5 Call It What You Want (definitely growing on me a lot)
07 New Years Eve (lovely at its core but it sounds like it should be a bonus track on Red or sth, it feels a bit off coming after the bangers and slickness on offer prior to it, I think it will grow as a standalone song as I go back to it)

Not loony at all x I get th comments about the production being quite homogeneous, but that works as a bod of work for me.

Posted by: Jonjo 10th November 2017, 01:33 AM

10.0 ...Ready For It?
08.5 End Game > Ed sounds so good on this! Would love to hear him on a grander pop track like this in the future. Future also sounds great. <
09.0 I Did Something Bad
08.0 Don't Blame Me
09.0 Delicate > The production elevates this massively for me! So lush. It reminds me a tiny bit of 'Just Luv Me' by Britney (except not as raw)! <
07.0 Look At What You Made Me Do
06.0 So It Goes...
07.5 Gorgeous
11.0 Getaway Car > So euphoric. Instant fave! Hardly surprising with it essentially being OOTW pt 2 <
08.0 King Of My Heart
07.5 Dancing With Our Hands Tied
07.0 Dress
08.0 This Why We Can't Have Nice Things > I really like this until it gets to that stupid middle 8 part where she's like "see, I can't even sing that with a straight face. Lolololol" it's really immature and everything that I hate about her... It's a bop though <
08.0 Call It What You Want
07.0 New Year's Day > Sweet, but it is definitely 'Red' album track. <

Ryan Adams released his version of '1989' and this album is pretty much what you would get if Lorde did the same thing

Overall, it's good, even if it's a bit too much like Lorde for my full enjoyment. Some of the lyrics are a bit grating/immature, but most of the time I can overlook them. Doesn't compare to 1989 for me but I don't think I ever expected it to, so I didn't have too high expectations.

'Getaway Car' is definitely my fave

Regardless if these rumours are true or false it’s ridiculous. There is a demand for people to hear her music and invest in HER career so let them hear it. If they aren’t false people need to stop making fake news, it’s boring and detracts from what the focus should be - the music and the hype for fans on release day.

Posted by: Liаm 10th November 2017, 10:16 PM

People need to stop writing this shite, it's so tiring when most of it is obv false, it's like an easy article for journalists to jump on a non-story like that, it's lazy journalism. I very much doubt that the stores will be withheld copies, she/her team are hardly going to harm their sales like that when they've done so ell to build up an event of a release and are maximizing "proper" sales by keeping it off streaming, having songs album only etc. Also did they not receive their stock earlier anyway lmao for them to have played it in the first place...

Posted by: THEO. 10th November 2017, 10:20 PM

UK people who cannot be bothered downloading, the full songs played on Radio 1 this morning can be heard on the iPlayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p05mmsbw ("End Game", "Delicate", "Getaway Car", "King of My Heart", "This is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" and "New Year's Day" alongside the four pre-album singles).

I've just heard the first two so far and they are SO boring. I thought "Call it What You Want" was the dullest thing that she's done but she really has trumped that with "Delicate". I would say I'm disappointed after the excellence that is '1989' but after 3/4 of what she put out before 'reputation.' was trash, I'm really not surprised.

Great that shes on 46k already, Will be good see how her sales hold up. I'll guessing she will end up on around 80k-ish by the end of the week. Probably would of matched 1989 if she was on streaming.

Posted by: UltraReputation 11th November 2017, 11:56 AM

Also Look is up to 38 on iTunes and CIWYW is down to 52, with the former also being higher on spotify as well I presume LWYMMD will re-enter the top 100 and CIWYW will become ineligible!

End Game is definitely a smash. I’m really impressed with this album, there are some very strong melodies, I was worried as I haven’t really been obsessed with any of the four songs we heard pre-release.

My other early favourite is Dancing With Our Hands Tied. Adore the production and the vibe reminded me of Carly Rae. Also seems pretty catchy so I’m surprised all of the reviews so far in here are passing it off as filler, it’s an easy 9.5/10 for me!

Given this a fair few listens now so I feel like it has all settled in. It's nowhere near as good as 1989 really but it has its big highs still despite having way more filler on the whole. "Ready For It" to "Look What You Made Me Do" (and Gorgeous too) on the tracklist are all fantastic songs but pretty much the whole of the second half just feels forgettable They're still decent pop songs and there are no actual bad songs on the album at all so I can't complain too much but it just feels a little disappointing after how much I enjoyed the singles that came before the album release.

"I Did Something Bad" is THAT song though, next single pleeeeaaase!!

Posted by: JosephStyles 11th November 2017, 10:12 PM

Hard to do a proper rate so soon, but my highlights right now are End Game, I Did Something Bad and Getaway Car plus a few others! My album rank:

1. Speak Now (doubt she'll ever top this)
2. 1989
3. Red
4. reputation (not far behind Red)
(big gap)
5. Fearless
6. Taylor Swift

6.5 from Pitchfork. It's a good review and praises the album a lot, whilst not ignoring some the problems it has lyrically etc. I was worried Pitchfork would give it a really low score to make a point (Like they did with Ed Sheeran) or give it a score higher than it deserves like a few other critics have done, but I think 6 - 7 out of ten is about right.

Posted by: SKOB 13th November 2017, 01:50 PM

11 ...Ready For It? - Amazing, unique and fantastic production.
08 End Game - A bit ‘i hope this is a streaming hit’ but good nonetheless the ‘big reputation’ parts are huge.
06 I Did Something Bad - A somewhat jarring bop
09 Don’t Blame Me - Huge Chorus.
07 Delicate - Loved this at first but I prefer others now, it’s gotten a bit boring.
06 Look What You Made Me Do - It isn’t much more than a way to grab headlines. A petty bop that I’ll enjoy on a night out.
05 So It Goes... - Meh
03 Gorgeous - Meh
09 Getaway Car - That middle 8!
05 King Of My Heart
07 Dancing With Our Hands Tied
10 Dress - This one doesn’t seem to get enough praise. I love.
01 This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things - ‘Sorry but I’m not your friend anymore’ an annoying and petty album.
10 Call It What You Want

Why do I feel like Taylor is having a bit of an identity crisis here? Part of the album is 1989 with fewer calories and another part of the album is her screaming “die bitch die” to everyone who “wronged” her.

Posted by: HausAlone 2nd December 2017, 09:58 PM

'Delicate' is the centrepiece of the album for me. It's her lamenting her awful reputation but in a coy, likeable way. "My reputation's never been worse so.." makes my heart sort of bleed for her and given her catty attitude recently that's saying something. I absolutely adore her vocals on it, so silky smooth. The "isn't it" refrain is genius.. each listen leaves you questioning so much. A true gem in the middle of an already gem-filled album. A similar affect to 'Wildest Dreams' from 1989 so hopefully single treatment in the future. Makes me feel SO EMOTIONAL and whimsical.

The more I listen to the album, the more I disagree with reviews saying it's her least cohesive album. I am pretty much in love with it all and the story it tells. Yes I don't agree with a lot of what has happened in the creation of the project but I love her final word on the matter and its execution.

I've sat with this album for while now. And it really is a hot mess of an album with some really dodgy themes (which mostly come to light in 'Nice Things'). Some of the dubstepish production feels a little bit below her and the sound is sonically all over the place. BUT, the highlights on the album; Dress, Ready For It, Delicate, Getaway Car are true discography highlights.

from the listen I gave of the album I found it quite a strong album. certainly feeling like I won't regret it if I got for Christmas now as I did have some doubts based off the singles (excluding RFI). 'getaway car' is my favourite along with RFI. It gives me those FEELS. I'd be surprised if it isn't a single tbh which I'm not sure will be the case and will be up there with best album tracks that were never made singles

'New years day' is also sweet.

Now Reputation has been out for a while, how does it compare to Taylor’s other albums for everyone else here?

Rep. is personally my favourite as I prefer the darker tones she explores, whilst she is still sticking to her poppy roots at times. I like the singles from Red & 1989 but didn’t go back to the albums too much (or at all ) but Reputation tracks I still listen to quite a lot

Posted by: UltraReputation 8th February 2018, 10:24 PM

For me I'd say its 2nd or 3rd (Speak Now 1st & I'm still not sure if I prefer this or 1989!)

I think my album ranking is this:

1) Look What You Made Me Do
2) Don't Blame Me

Go back to very often: (These could all be in a different order on another day)
3. Getaway Car
4. ...Ready For It?
5. End Game
6. Call It What You Want
7. I Did Something Bad

Also go back to regularly:
8. Delicate
9. Gorgeous
10. New Years Eve

Still great but I don't play them that much unless I listen to the album in full:
11. King Of My Heart
12. This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
13. Dancing With Our Hands Tied
14. Dress
15. So It Goes...

Posted by: JosephSprayberry 8th February 2018, 10:28 PM

I'd rank it third myself, behind Speak Now and 1989 in that order!

1. This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
2. Look What You Made Me Do
3. Call It What You Want
4. Getaway Car
5. End Game
6. Don't Blame Me
7. I Did Something Bad
8. ...Ready For It?
9. New Year's Eve
10. Delicate
11. Gorgeous
12. King of My Heart
13. Dancing With Our Hands Tied
14. Dress
15. So It Goes...

The top 8 are particularly great and I enjoy the next couple too. Don't return to the bottom 5 so much but they're not bad by any means.

This campaign has been a huge gigantic mess, this really was her Prism!

Radio don't seem to be pushing her as much but the fact that 'End Game' isn't a huge top 10 hit has really shocked me and it's even more shocking how much 'Gorgeous' and 'End Game' have bombed worldwide although the release strategy behind them is the main reason. 'Ready For It!' suffered dramatically too, it really could have been a bigger hit worldwide had it not been pushed aside then pushed again.

I don't think anything from 'Reputation' will do particularly well worldwide and it surprises me that the campaign could be over this quick!

I snatched that deal! The picture discs are cute but I don't know why they were selling it for so expensive anyway? £12.99 is what it's worth for the 5/6 good songs on it anyway.

I really love the music that Taylor Swift produces because she embodies what a girl wants to say to every boy but now evolving in the more mature tone, Taylor outdone herself to be an extreme writer, singer and composer not only for that but a phenomenal queen of music, I'm rooting for more Taylor Swift music, I hope she gets awards this year and next year for this album. Goodluck

I enjoyed this album for a very long time. IMO there were better album tracks on it than on Lover.

Posted by: Klumzeased* 11th May 2020, 10:24 PM

Just gave the album a listen for the first time all in one go! I have heard a few of the album tracks here and there but not enough to form much opinion of them, so here's some thoughts...

Look What You Made Me Do is still THAT song. *.* still one of the ultimate comeback songs in terms of initial impact and a song stands up and makes you pay attention. Obvs not a lasting hit due to its nature but couldn't have picked a better album lead.

End Game is probably my least favourite on the album :/ if you're going to have features on the track on an album that has no other features, they need to be worth it. However Ed and Future's verses feel a bit phoned in and don't add anything more to the track. I also feel that it's a pop song with pop production trying to be a rap crossover that makes it quite cringey and not very genuine? Like it needed someone other than Max Martin to produce as it feels lacklustre compared to its contemporaries.

Some album track highlights for me include: I Did Something Bad, New Year's Day, Getaway Car and Dancing With Our Hands Tied. My faves are probably the middle two of those.

Delicate is quite underrated and shame it didn't do better in the UK charts, quite a mature mid-tempo pop song and it stands out from the rest, reminded me of a couple moments from Lover. Reckon it would've been top 20 at least if it were single #2 or #3. Gorgeous wasn't as good as I remember it being and ...Ready For It felt a little awkward in places but there's a good song in there somewhere. I think having a underbaked chorus and then 'are you ready for it... boom boom boom' worked against each other rather than to elevate the song?

Posted by: Jonjo 11th May 2020, 10:50 PM

I think 'Dress' is the most underrated on the album. What a beaut.

Posted by: StupidLove 12th May 2020, 03:17 PM

This was so hard, I adore literally every song from 12 up :') Even the next two are 8/10's, it's just NYD which is 50 shades of yawn that I'm not keen on.

Posted by: UltraReputation 27th May 2020, 12:24 AM

omg me missing people posting rankings and thoughts on this album Yasss Andrew stan and I'm glad you checked out the album Klum and loved hearing your thoughts *.*

I think I'm at the place where I'd say Speak Now is the best Taylor album but Reputation is my favourite <3 I just love this album so much and I still go back to and listen to it in full SO regularly, more regularly in full than any other Taylor album. The tracklist flows so well and there's so many moments on this album <3 the production is fab and has aged great and there's something so special about this album

my ranking nowadays:

1. Look What You Made Me Do
2. Delicate
3. Don't Blame Me

4. Call It What You Want
5. Getaway Car
6. ...Ready For It?
7. I Did Something Bad
8. King Of My Heart
9. End Game
10. Dancing With Our Hands Tied

11. This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
12. New Year's Day
13. Gorgeous
14. So It Goes
15. Dress

The top 3 are the holy trinity and untouchable, all 11/10's in my top 10 Taylor songs of all time. 4 to 8 are all pretty close to each other and are all easy 10/10's that I listen to regularly <3 EG and DWOHT not too far behind them at all, the latter has aged so well. On a great day, TIWWCHNT and NYD are 10/10's as well. Gorgeous hasn't aged great but is still an underrated fun bop (9/10) and So It Goes is FINALLY growing on me a lot the past couple of months!!!! I think it's the first time it's not been last in my rankings aha. Dress remains I Don't Wanna Live Forever's inferior sister.

Posted by: UltraReputation 27th May 2020, 12:36 AM

I cba to look further back in the thread the forum as it's too hard but these are how the songs have ranked in my last 4 rankings of Reputation on the forum I can find! (Feb 2018, June 2018, Feb 2019 & April 2020)

Look What You Made Me Do 01-01-01-01
Don't Blame Me 02-03-03-03
Getaway Car 03-07-04-05
...Ready For It? 04-04-05-06
End Game 05-06-08-09
Call It What You Want 06-05-06-04
I Did Something Bad 07-08-09-07
Delicate 08-02-02-02
Gorgeous 09-10-11-13
New Year's Day 10-13-12-12
King Of My Heart 11-09-07-08
This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things 12-11-10-11
Dancing With Our Hands Tied 13-12-13-10
Dress 14-14-14-15
So It Goes... 15-15-15-14

Looking at this, the top 3 has been set in stone since Delicate's video release really clicked the song for me and most of 4 to 9 are pretty much the same in a different order each time round! King Of My Heart & DWOHT have gone up the most whilst End Game and Gorgeous have aged the poorest as both have fallen. few places since my initial reactions. 13 of the 15 tracks being in my top 10 at one point!!!! what an album <3

Posted by: Dexton 30th May 2020, 04:09 PM

Inspired by my post in the AF Idol thread

1. Delicate
2. Look What You Made Me Do
3. Don't Blame Me
4. ...Ready For It?

...RFI was my #1 for a while but gradually the others have climbed back up, either because of single pushes (Delicate), because I stopped overplaying it (LWYMMD), or just because it was a clear album highlight from the beginning and cannot be flawed (Don't Blame Me). All of these are 10/10 songs

5. I Did Something Bad
6. Getaway Car
7. Call It What You Want

More great songs although not ones I admittedly go back to overly often. I Did Something Bad is ICONIC and Getaway Car should have been a (properly pushed) single!

8. End Game
9. Gorgeous
10. King Of My Heart

End Game was a fantastic collaboration... that could have been. I love it but it was absolutely not what I was expecting I really wanted another 'Everything Has Changed' as unlikely as that was.

11. So It Goes
12. New Year's Day
13. This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
14. Dancing With Our Hands Tied
15. Dress

Getting lower and lower in my ranking there's kind of a steep drop after King Of My Heart tbh. I do enjoy these but at the same time this could be a 10 track album and I wouldn't have any issues.

Only over the last year around the point where I was excited for Lover to come out did some of the songs really click with me far more than before and I began to really see this album as a masterpiece, only slightly less than 1989 and Lover anyway.

01 // Call It What You Want
02 // ...Ready For It?
03 // Delicate
04 // Getaway Car
05 // I Did Something Bad
06 // Look What You Made Me Do
07 // This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
08 // Don't Blame Me
09 // End Game
10 // So It Goes
11 // King Of My Heart
12 // Dancing With Our Hands Tied
13 // New Year's Day
14 // Gorgeous
15 // Dress

01-06 are all 10/10s. CIWYW I always loved but hit me more than ever this year, it's such a stunning song. Gorgeous and Dress I don't dislike, I'd give them about a 6, but the former is a little cringey and Dress lacks what CIWYW and Delicate have in terms of the sort of song it is, it just feels empty.

Posted by: UltraReputation 7th June 2020, 11:15 PM

It's close between Rep and Lover (unpopular opinion?) but I think this edges it for me too She needed this album and it comes through in the production and songwriting. I haven't heard her self-titled, Fearless or Red (so many albums I need to go back and listen to ) but I love all the other four <3 Rep > Lover > Speak Now > 1989
