“My reputation has never been worse so he must like me for me.”

Taylor Swift, queen of heartbreak anthems and shaking it off, found herself in a culture where all the talk was on her imperfections. Instead of fighting back, she embraced her “issues” to create an album which is fearless, honest and dark.

Last night as soon as the clock struck midnight, her sixth album “Reputation” soared to number 1. In just 6 minutes it broke the record for fastest album to reach number 1 on the US iTunes album chart. In the first hour of its release over 800,000 fans tried to download the album causing the iTunes store to crash.

Swift’s album’s early sales prove she is unstoppable and timeless as this album is predicted to be her most successful ever. It evolves around her fragile public image which completely scatters with songs like “Delicate” and “This Is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things.”

She offers “End Game” which features two very successful men in the industry – Ed Sheeran and Future – pushing the boundary of pop by resembling more of an R&B infused track.Taylor’s electronic “I Did Something Bad,” immediately makes the blood rush with its infectious chorus.

T.S. still proves to be “America’s Sweetheart” with “Gorgeous” and “Getaway Car” but the sensational lyrics of “Dress” and the wild “Dancing With Our Hands Tied” illustrate she is more dangerous than expected.

“Reputation,” with Taylor’s poetic lyrics and dark pop syncopation prove to be worth the hype. Although the public’s first taste of her new sound was fighting back against celebrities like Katy  and Kanye with “Look What You Made Me Do”, she proves that she is definitely the one winning the war.
