Every "Reputation" Lyric That Made My Jaw Drop
RollingStone

Taylor Swift's lyrics never cease to amaze me, but when Swift deleted everything off of her social media accounts and started posting pictures of snakes, I knew she really meant business this time. "Reputation," released Nov. 10, sold 1.05 million copies within four days of its release according to Billboard. And the album certainly did not disappoint. Here's a comprehensive list of every lyric on "Reputation" that made my jaw drop while I listened to it on my way home from purchasing it at midnight Nov. 10:

1. "I swear I don't love the drama, it loves me."

You tell 'em, girl. I'm jamming just thinking about this line.

2. "If a man talks shit, then I owe him nothing/ I don't regret it one bit, 'cause he had it coming."

Attention, ladies everywhere: Taylor Swift has some advice for y’all to follow.

3. "And I bury hatchets, but I keep maps of where I put 'em."

If you did her wrong, there is a 0% chance she forgot about it.

4. "Reputation precedes me and rumors are knee-deep/ The truth is, it's easier to ignore it, believe me."

This is the first time on the album Taylor addresses her reputation. An insight into the past few years of her life.

5. "And you understand the good and bad end up in a song."

If you date Taylor Swift, she will write a song about it. She doesn’t deny it. She has never denied it.

6. "They say I did something bad/ But why'd it feel so good?/ Most fun I ever had/ And I'd do it over and over and over again if I could."

I’m laughing because she has no regrets at all.

7. "I never trust a playboy, but they love me/ So I fly 'em all around the world/ And I let them think they saved me."

Hey, "Blank Space" Taylor. You’re not dead.

8. "But if he drops my name, then I owe him nothin'."

“I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex/ Why?/ I made that bitch famous”

9. "They're burning all the witches, even if you aren't one/ So light me up."

*at least 10 fire emojis*

10. "Don't blame me, your love made me crazy/ If it doesn't, you ain't doing it right."

She’s right.

11. "I once was poison ivy, but now I'm your daisy."

I dig it.

12. "Look at you/ Oh damn, never seen that color blue."

I’m not going to bring out the receipts, but Taylor Swift likes guys with blue eyes.

13. "Handsome, your mansion with a view/ Do the girls back home touch you like I do?"

…And also British guys.

14. "Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time."

Ah, yes. I remember when everyone said her career was over.

15. "And then the world moves on, but one thing's for sure/ Maybe I got mine, but you'll all get yours."

Hisssss.

16. "I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now/ Why?/ Oh, 'cause she's dead!"

This was the first lyric that made my jaw drop back in August.

17. "You should think about the consequence/ Of your magnetic field being a little too strong"

I’m not even entirely sure what this means, but I like it.

18. "I got a boyfriend, he's older than us/ He's in the club doing I don't know what."

Whoops. Called out, CH.

19. "You've ruined my life, by not being mine."

She is so dramatic. It’s great.

20. "Guess I'll just stumble on home to my cats/ Alone/ Unless you wanna come along."

Her famous kitties have finally made it into a song.

21. "So prove to me I'm your American Queen."

You are, honey, and you’re doing great.

22. "'Cause all the boys and their expensive cars/ With their Range Rovers and their Jaguars/ Never took me quite where you do."

…You did go to Rome, though. We all saw it happen.

23. "All of this silence and patience, pining and anticipation/ My hands are shaking from holding back from you."

This song is just… so pretty.

24. "Only bought this dress so you could take it off, take it off/ Carve your name into my bedpost."

Girl!

25. "It was so nice throwing big parties/ Jump into the pool from the balcony/ Everyone swimming in a champagne sea/ And there are no rules when you show up here/ Bass beat rattling the chandelier/ Feeling so Gatsby for that whole year."

Super upset that my invitation got lost in the mail :(

26. "This is why we can't have nice things, darling/ Because you break them/ I had to take them away."

Is she talking to a little kid?

27. "And therein lies the issue/ Friends don't try to trick you/ Get you on the phone and mind-twist you."

WHOOMP, THERE IT IS.

28. "And here's to my momma/ Had to listen to all this drama/ And here's to you/ 'Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do/ Hahaha, I can't even say it with a straight face."

Every time I hear this I laugh so loud Taylor Swift can probably hear me in New York.

29. "Nobody's heard from me for months/ I'm doing better than I ever was."

She was disconnected and thriving. Nice.

30. "There's glitter on the floor after the party/ Girls carrying their shoes down in the lobby/ Candle wax and Polaroids on the hardwood floor/ You and me forevermore."

Again, my invitation. Where’d it go? No, but really: this gorgeous song will toss you back a few eras.

31. "Don't read the last page/ But I stay."

This? Is? So? Cute? What a great way to end the album!


Listen to "Reputation." It's amazing.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

177792

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
