Taylor Swift Drops New Album
Taylor Swift has just released her newest album, and it’s already breaking records. This is her first album in four years, and fans are ecstatic. The album has already reached number one on iTunes, and it’s only been out for a few hours.
“Reputation” is full of references to Swift’s past
Taylor Swift’s sixth album, “Reputation,” was released on Friday, and fans are already dissecting all of the Easter eggs and references to Swift’s past.
There are full-on diss tracks about Kanye West and Kim Kardashian (who Swift has been feuding with for years), as well as more subtle references to her ex-boyfriends, her never-ending battle with the tabloids, and even her good friend Selena Gomez.
Here are some of the most notable references on “Reputation”:
“Look What You Made Me Do” is full of references to Swift’s past feuds
The lead single off of “Reputation” is an obvious jab at Kanye West, who Swift has been feuding with since he interrupted her acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards.
But the song also includes several other references to Swift’s past: “I don’t like your little games / Don’t like your titled stage,” she sings. “The role you made me play / Of the fool, no, I don’t like you.”
This is likely a reference to West’s 2016 song “Famous,” in which he raps, “I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b—h famous.” (Swift has denied giving West permission to use her name in the song.)
Swift also takes aim at Katy Perry in the song: “But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time / Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time.” This is likely a reference to Perry’s 13-day stint as a backup dancer for one of Swift’s tours.
The album is being praised by fans and critics alike
Taylor Swift has just released her latest album, ” Folklore,” and it’s already getting rave reviews. The New York Times called it “a triumph” and said it was “full of surprises.” Pitchfork said the album was ” one of the best of the year.”
Fans are also loving the album, with many taking to social media to share their thoughts. One fan wrote on Twitter, ” Folklore is a work of art and I can’t stop listening to it.” Another said, “I’m not even a big Taylor Swift fan but this album is amazing.”
If you’re a fan of pop music, this is definitely an album you won’t want to miss.
