this outfit deserves a doctorate in communications due to how it speaks to me on a deep level

finally another dress stan! Iām a late sleeper swiftie, came on after folklore but have worn her entire discography out ever since and i gotta say, Iām attached to rep cause despite supposedly not being ārelatableā, the more sincere deep cuts really cut me deep. she doesnāt have to promise us fairytale, or burning heartbreak, or bombastic wildest dreams anymore because pieces like call it what you want, dress, getaway car carry her signature intensity in vague situations that we can all find ourselves in

I vividly remember how everyone in media was really rooting for her to fail before the album had even dropped and even more vividly remember how every single journalist that reviewed the album seemed to have not even listened to it front to back. You need to throw on a pair of binoculars to find the 'revenge' tracks on reputation. It truly felt like we were all rooting for the underdog at that time. "Trauma bond" is the best way to describe it, for real.

I truly don't think new Swifties, or even the general public, can comprehend what the reputation era was like for Swifties at the time. People think folklore was a departure, but that was nothing (and imo really wasn't that far out of the norm) compared to reputation. I think you had to experience the transition from country to pop, to the 2016 downfall, to truly understand just how significant reputation was. Taylor wasn't just reappearing after an extended break, this was her clawing her way back to the top (as we see in LWYMMD video) of superstardom. It may not have been the commercial juggernaut of 1989, but it laid the groundwork for Taylor to go outside of her comfort zone and experiment in ways she never had before, and I think without it we never would have had folkmore, which really revived her reputation in ways no one could have predicted.
I think an interesting future video would be an analysis into Taylor's fans and how she's kept us wrapped around her finger for so long. You kind of touch on it a bit in this video, but I think with Taylor's social media blackout a lot of the things that made us fans of Taylor aren't accessible to people anymore, besides hearing it secondhand from veteran Swifties. There is just SO much lore behind being a Swiftie that gets lost to time, so doing a deep dive into the history could be very interesting!

I love Reputation. Iām the type of fan whose favorite Taylor album changes constantly, but if Rep may be the album I come back to most. Itās special to me because itās the first era I was became a Swiftie in instead of a more casual fan. I love it in all of its messiness, its bravado and its vulnerability.

Reputation will forever be my favorite era from her, hands down. It's simply ICONIC. It's the antithesis of Fearless in her discography, it put her (back) on the map and on the right track.

as a veteran swiftie, the lead-up to reputation was one of the few times as a taylor fan that i felt true, genuine fear lmao. EVERYONE around me was saying it would flop, her career was dead, she's a snake, etc. etc. and i have to say that while i was not ready to cancel her or give up my fan status, the response/handling of the kimye stuff was... messy. and i was definitely unsure how things would recover and if taylor was truly in the right here. i was in grad school when lwymmd dropped and i vividly remember listening to it for the first time on my way home from one of my night classes and i was literally shaken to my core. shocked. unable to process. rep quickly rose to my number one at the time in my taylor album rankings. shock of the century but i believe in lowercase album title supremacy!

āSo it goesā¦ā is such a sleeper! Last year when I ran my Spotify through this most-played-of-all-time generator, thatās what came out as my number 1 most listened to song on Spotify ever. Sadly, I donāt think she loves it as much as we do since it never got the love and care it deserved on tour :(

I feel like during rep she learned to set boudaries and learned that its ok to mess up and make mistakes. Rep is my favorite era and album for many reasons but it truly, at least I think holds a deeper meaning, especially what happened before.

Even though I am a softcore Taylor Swift fan, and I love the content of your videos, I find myself always coming back to watch you because I find your oratory utterly hypnotizing. Your power of rhetoric is my literal goal

Another excellent video. I will still remember how I felt when I refreshed my Instagram page and saw that Taylor had posted a green-ish blob flickering on to the screen. And then I went on to her page and saw her posts being deleted one by oneā¦needless to say the girls were shaking, the girls were having seizuresā¦the girls were worried she was hacked! But, ultimately, the girls fell into a deep coma when she released the title of the album. I was digging a grave for myself right next to the old Taylor. The LWYMMD video remains one of my favourite Taylor videos ever. Newer fans probably wouldnāt be fazed by her tongue in cheek and very direct references in that video but for us older fans, it was like whiplash. I genuinely couldnāt believe that sheād included a 2009 Grammy version of herself. I was quaking when she said ābitchā. It was UNPRECEDENTED and sadly I will never experience that amount of whiplash again.

I WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHY THIS FANDOM HATES SO IT GOES... IT'S SUCH A GOOD SONGGG

For me personally, when 1989 hit, I genuinely felt like I couldnāt relate to this new image Taylor was going for. The emphasis on the squad and the way she portrayed herself during that time period just didnāt connect with me during a time when my dad had just passed away, I had no real friends to turn to, and I was in a super toxic relationship with my ex. When Snakegate happened, I was in the middle of one of the lowest points of my life, so Reputation became one of her most relatable albums to me and I loved the sort of ābad guyā character she played in a part of my life where my reputation was also completely compromised and I was being portrayed in a light that was very false. I grew up in a poor household, so the Rep tour was my first Taylor concert experience after Iād been saving money like a fiend for months to be able to go and the absolute magnitude of that show and experience will forever be etched in my heart. Iām definitely out of my Rep era now, but itās a time that I look back on fondly because of Taylor and I can still say that Rep is my favorite Taylor project and probably always will be.

rep was the first era i experienced as a āswiftie.ā and it was definitely the most important album of her career. it saved her from falling into irrelevancy. it was very easy for her to go into a new era like nothing happened, or for her to have played the wounded victim (which she did do,) but instead she responded to the backlash with a character. i think that helped her to not only talk about all of the terrible things that had happened to her in the public eye, but also to talk about her london boy; this new love that she found in the middle of this terrible moment in her career. i also think that keeping the sonic pallet of the album similar to what was going on in the pop stratosphere gave her an extra boost of appeal. obviously, she didnāt get the great reception that repās predecessor got, but Taylor was definitely expecting that. she was bound to have criticism after everything that happened before itās release. you said once that rep was more of an album that she had to make than one that she wanted to make, and thatās a really good way to put it. she needed to come back with a bang, even if it spawned negative criticism, and lwymmd was a great way to do that. in hindsight, rep works as a time capsule, something that we havenāt seen from many other records that came out during this time. itās aged much better then i thought it would. rep is a excellent body of work, and will live on as one of the defining albums of the 2010ās!š«¶š¼

I first joined the Taylor swift ācommunityā when reputation came out. I remember that exact moment when I heard ālook what you made me doā on the radio. Literally the best moment of my life. After that car ride, I went home, and jumped straight into the Taylor swift rabbit hole. After I found out all the meanings, and hidden secrets, in reputation, I literally became the biggest swiftie ever. Reputation will ALWAYS have a very very special place in my heart.

As someone who wasnāt a swiftie during the reputation era, this video definitely caught me up on what I missed. Sounds like the most iconic era to ever exist. Wish I couldāve been a swiftie then, but your channel has informed me so much on her career so itās all good. But tbh it probably wouldāve been difficult to be a swiftie in 2017, so idek. Loved the video as alwaysš

VIDEO IDEA: Although this idea isn't related to this particular video, I've been meaning to request a detailed video on Taylor and Harry's relationship since it is something that still has a lasting effect on Taylor and her music today. I never truly realized how greatly he was the "one that got away" until your Midnights videos/podcast episodes so I would be interested in a relationship timeline/deep dive to learn about it even further š

Reputation isnāt her most successful album but it is undeniably her most important one. Itās the album that saved her career and brought her back to the game. Like you said itās also heavily underrated by critics and the GP alike. Even from the fans : itās either their top album (like it is for me) or the worst because itās just different. But also like you said, thereās not one bad song in that album. Theyāre all different and even the lyrical content is diverse while being very cohesive at the same time. Personally i love Lover and Midnights even more than 1989 for example, but i agree that from an objective point of view 1989 and Reputation are her only pop albums that can be qualified as perfect
