Taylor Swift's album "Reputation" came out in November 2017, and it was a pretty big deal. It was different from her earlier stuff - darker and more personal.
With this album, Taylor was kind of responding to all the drama and media attention she'd been getting. Songs like "Look What You Made Me Do" were pretty much her way of clapping back at her critics.
But it wasn't all tough talk. In songs like "Delicate," Taylor showed a more vulnerable side. This made fans feel closer to her, like they were seeing the real Taylor.
"Reputation" was also about Taylor taking control of her own story. She wasn't letting other people define who she was anymore. The whole album was about her dealing with her reputation and coming out stronger.
The album did really well commercially. It hit number one on the charts and had some big hit songs. The tour was huge too.
Critics liked it as well. They thought Taylor was taking risks and growing as an artist.
"Reputation" wasn't just about the music, though. Taylor started speaking out more about political and social issues around this time, which was new for her.
Since "Reputation," Taylor's kept changing and growing as an artist. She's put out more albums like "Lover," "Folklore," and "Evermore." But "Reputation" is still seen as a big turning point in her career.
It showed that Taylor could handle tough times, change her style, and still come out on top. It really cemented her place as one of the biggest stars in music.
