The Best Lyrics From Each Song On “Reputation”
Instagram

Reputation has been out for a week now and it has been on repeat ever since. Now it’s time to look a little deeper in the comprehensive album. I've already written a full album review (check that out!) but this album is too good to not pay attention to the lyrics. We all know Taylor is known for her lyrics always being elaborate and detailed- and this album did not disappoint. Here are my favorite lyrics from each song.

1. ...Ready for It?

“Baby, let the games begin”

2. End Game
(feat. Ed Sheeran & Future)

“Reputation precedes me and rumors are knee-deep, the truth is, it’s easier to ignore it, believe me”

3. I Did Something Bad

“If a man talks shit, then I owe him nothing

I don’t regret it one bit cause he had it coming”

(the first curse word ever on a Taylor Swift album)

4. “Don’t Blame Me” (a personal favorite)

“My drug is my baby I’ll be usin’ for the rest of my life.”

5. Delicate

“This ain’t for the best

My reputation’s never been worse, so

You must like me for me…”

One of my favorite lyrics on the whole album.

6. “Look What You Made Me Do”

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

Obviously.

7. “So It Goes…”

“You know I’m not a bad girl but I would do bad things with you”

8. “Gorgeous”

“You’ve ruined my life by not being mine”

Relatable.

9. “Getaway Car”

“And a circus ain’t a love story. And now we’re both sorry”

10. “King of My Heart”

“Is this the end of all endings? My broken bones are mending”

11. “Dancing with Our Hands Tied”

“I had a bad feeling, but we were dancing”

Shout out to Calvin Harris!

12. “Dress”

“Our secret moments in a crowded room”

13. “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things”

“And here’s to you cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do….HAHA I can’t even say it with a straight face”

What’s up, Kanye?!

14. Call It What You Want

“I want to wear his initial on a chain ‘round my neck, not because he owns me, but because he really knows me.”

15. New Year’s Day”

“Hold on to the memories, they will hold on to you”

My all-time favorite on Reputation.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into.

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.
