Taylor's Swift long-awaited and anticipated return to the music industry has FINALLY arrived and her 6th studio album 'reputation' finally dropped on November 10th. The album is filled with wonderful lyrics, some being love lyrics and some being a little... shady.
Here's a track-by-track list of the best lyrics from every song.
1. ...Ready For It?
Let me just tell you that I was NOT ready for this song.
"Some boys are trying too hard, he don't try at all though. Younger than my exes but he act like such a man so"
"He can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor". (What a great Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton reference)
2. End Game (ft. Ed Sheeran and Future)
I love me some Taylor Swift and Ed Sheeran ("Everything Has Changed" will forever hold a special place in my heart), so this song brought back some RED vibes.
"And I bury hatchets, but I keep maps of where I put 'em"
"Reputation precedes me, they told you I'm crazy"
"I swear I don't love the drama, it loves me"
3. I Did Something Bad
"If a man talks shit, then I owe him nothing"
(Not gonna lie, my jaw DROPPED when I heard this line)
" I don't regret it one bit, 'cause he had it coming"
"You gotta leave before you get left"
"They got their pitchforks and proof, their receipts and reasons "
(Is this a diss towards Kim K after she posted those "receipts" on Snapchat?)
4. Don't Blame Me
"I've been breakin' hearts a long time and toyin' with them older guys"
"Your love made me crazy, if it doesn't, you ain't doin' it right "
"Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby, I'll be usin' for the rest of my life "
"I once was poison ivy, but now I'm your daisy"
5. Delicate
"My reputation's never been worse"
(OK, so at this point, Taylor has mentioned her reputation quite a few times, which is fitting for obvious reasons...)
"Sometimes when I look into your eyes, I pretend you're mine all the damn time"
6. Look What You Made Me Do
Not only was this song a wonderful comeback for Taylor, but the lyrics are genius.
"Don't like your titled stage"
(Hey, Kanye.)
"I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, because she's dead!"
7. So It Goes...
"You know I'm not a bad girl but I do bad things with you"
"I'm yours to keep and I'm yours to lose"
"You did a number on me, but, honestly, baby, who's counting?"
8. Gorgeous
"You should take it as a compliment that I got drunk and made fun of the way you talk"
"I got a boyfriend, he's older than us. He's in the club doing I don't know what"
(Seriously, though. What does Calvin do in the club?)
"There's nothing I hate more than what I can't have"
9. Getaway Car
"We never had a shotgun shot in the dark"
"X marks the spot where we fell apart"
"Should've known I'd be the first to leave, think about the place you first met me"
10. King of My Heart
"And all at once, you are the one I have been waiting for"
"The taste of your lips is my idea of luxury"
11. Dancing With Our Hands Tied
"Picture of your face in an invisible locket"
(Does this sound like the locket Calvin got Taylor for their one year anniversary?
"I loved you in spite of deep fears that the world would divide us"
12. Dress
Apparently, Taylor's parents had to leave the room while this song was on...
"Only bought this dress so you could take it off"
"Carve your name into my bedpost"
"Even in my worst times, you could see the best of me"
13. This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
This song is hands down one of the best on the album, so don't @ me.
"So why'd you have to rain on my parade?"
"It was so nice being friends again. There I was giving you a second chance, but you stabbed my back while shaking my hand and therein lies the issue. Friends don't try to trick you, get you on the phone and mind-twist you"
(This is a huge hint towards Kanye and I am LIVING for it)
"Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do"
(And then in comes Taylor laughing and saying, "I can't say that with a straight face")
14. Call It What You Want
"My castle crumbled overnight."
"I brought a knife to a gun fight."
"All the liars are calling me one. Nobody's heard from me for months. I'm doing better than I ever was"
15. New Year's Day
So, apparently, Taylor had told some people at a secret session that this song was about how everyone is usually focused on who they're going to kiss at midnight, but what's more important is who stays until the next day and I have to say, this song may or may not be my favorite on the album.
"Hold onto the memories, they will hold onto you"
"Please don't become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere"
"But I stay when it's hard or it's wrong or we're making mistakes"
