Taylor Swift: Reputation Review – Superb songcraft meets extreme Drama
Some versions of the sixth Taylor Swift album come complete with a sleeve note, penned by the 27-year-old singer-songwriter. It opens with some general thoughts on social media: the rumours that abound on it are not always true, the images people present of themselves there not always reflective of reality. Then it moves on to the pressures of life in the glare of the media’s spotlight – “My heartbreaks have been used as entertainment” – and offers a swift rebuke to those who might attempt to interpret Swift’s songs as being about her personal life. “When this album comes out, gossip blogs will scour the lyrics for the men they can attribute to each song … there will be slideshows of photos backing up each incorrect theory.”
