Taylor Swift’s new album entitled, “Reputation” is one of Swift’s most intimate albums, as she ditches the “good girl” image she has built up over the years and demonstrates total control of her music and her reputation. After being out of the spotlight for a little over two years, “Reputation” dives into the experiences she’s curated over her hiatus.

Swift, 27, comes across from a more introspective and deeper view, shifting from chasing and pining for love to having life fall into place. All 15 songs off the album are sonically cohesive, and form a new sound of pop that illustrates the life of a young adult. Her lyrics manifest the more sultry and darker sides of romance with drinking and partying.

Songs like “Call it What you Want” and “New Year’s Day” continue Swift’s tradition of love songs, showcasing the sweet sides of relationships, with lyrics like, “I’m laughing with my lover / makin’ forts undercovers,” from the fourteenth track, “Call it what you Want.” However, songs like “Dress” and “King of my Heart” remain true to Swift’s tradition of love songs. They have matured, moving towards the more lascivious nature of her personal relationships with lyrics like, “You know I’m not a bad girl, but I / Do bad things with you,” from the seventh track “So It Goes.”

Other tracks on the album show Swift’s transition from being the “victim” to owning herself, and her actions over the past year. “I Did Something Bad,” and “This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” are both songs that demonstrate the power Swift carries and the little remorse she has for people who have wronged her, both in the industry and in relationships. Lyrics like,  “Friends don’t try to trick you / get you on the phone and mind twist you,” from the thirteenth track, “This is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things” display the lack of remorse and forgiveness towards the media and her enemies, as she now stands up for herself and defends her actions.

Overall, Swift’s bombtastic music marks a new sound of pop and an entirely new Taylor, as she has shed the old country star and has progressed into one of the greatest female pop musicians of the era.
