    15. "Look What You Made Me Do"

    I admit when this song came out I liked it, but now that I've listened to it more it's "meh." 

    Best Lyric: "I'm sorry

    But the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now

    Why? Oh, 'cause she's dead (oh)"

    Score: 5.5/10 

    14. "King Of My Heart"

    Honestly this song just isn't my vibe, and it isn't exactly upbeat either. I don't hate it, but it's not my favorite. Just because this song isn't in the top ten doesn't mean it's bad, it just could've been better. 

    Best lyric: "And all at once

    You are the one I have been waiting for

    King of my heart, body and soul, oh-whoa" 

    Score: 9/10

    13. "Dancing With Our Hands Tied"

    A really catchy, electric song with great lyrics. The reason why this isn't higher is because I like the other songs from this album better. I just LIKE this song, I don't LOVE it. 

    Best lyric: "But we were dancing

    Dancing with our hands tied, hands tied

    Yeah, we were dancing" 

    Score: 8.5/10

    12. "New Year's Day"

    By far the saddest song on the album, the reason why this song isn't higher is 'cause the other songs overtook this song. Likewise, it's still a really great song. I wouldn't have expected there to be a sad song on Reputation but here we are!

    Best lyric: "Hold on to the memories

    They will hold on to you

    Hold on to the memories" 

    Score: 8/10

    11. "End Game" (Ft. Ed Sheeran, Future)

    One of the songs when Taylor tries something new... and it kind of works, but not exactly. I'll admit it's an OK song, but it's not God-tier. 

    Best lyric: "Big reputation, big reputation

    Ooh you and me we got big reputations, ah

    And you heard about me, ooh

    I got some big enemies" 

    Score: 9/10

    10. "Delicate"

    Ah, behold a Track 5 song. Mellow and slow, this and "New Year's Day" are the saddest songs on the album. This is a really personal, vulnerable, track, and somehow it managed to fit in with the rest of the album. 

    Best lyric: "Dark jeans and your Nikes, look at you

    Oh, damn, never seen that color blue

    Just think of the fun things we could do" 

    Score: 10/10

    9. "Call It What You Want"

    Another mellow song! Except this one's a little faster and has a little more "I don't give a f**k" Taylor than "New Year's Day," and "Delicate." Love!

    Best lyric: "I want to wear his initial

    On a chain 'round my neck

    Chain 'round my neck

    Not because he owns me

    But 'cause he really knows me" 

    Score: 40/10

    8. "So it Goes..."

    An underrated track! Definitely one of the most danceable songs on the album, despite people saying lyrically this is her worst song (no it's not)! 

    Score: 20/10

    Best lyric: "All eyes on you, my magician" 

    7. "Gorgeous"

    The music is such a slay! I love how the song starts with a kid yelling "gorgeous!" Such a fun, catchy song. The beat and the melody are content and cheerful. 

    Best lyric: "You should take it as a compliment

    That I got drunk and made fun of the way you talk" 

    Score: 50/10

    6. "Dress"

    Ooh, what a sexy, seductive song on the album. This song def gives me the feels.

    Best lyric: "'Cause I don't want you like a best friend

    Only bought this dress so you could take it off" 

    Score: 40/10

    5. "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things"

    Another underrated classic on this album! This gives, "that's what you get, karma," vibes. What a cute (and bad*ss) song.

    Best lyric: "'Cause forgiveness is a nice thing to do

    Hahaha, I can't even say it with a straight face!" 

    Score: 20/10

    4. "Don't Blame Me"

    A classic. The vocals on this song are GIVING!! The bridge *literally* took me to church.

    Best lyric: "Oh, Lord, save me, my drug is my baby

    I'll be usin' for the rest of my life" 

    Score: 30/10

    3. "...Ready For It"

    The best opener for an album. This screamed, "are you ready for this slay album?"

    Best lyric: "And he can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor

    Every lover known in comparison is a failure" 

    Score: 10/10

    2. "I Did Something Bad"

    A song that deserved more attention. The beat is unbelievably catchy, and the chorus, OMG!

    Best lyric: "I never trust a narcissist, but they love me

    So I play 'em like a violin" 

    Score: 20/10

    1. "Getaway Car"

    WORDS CAN'T EVEN EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I LOOOOOVE THIS SONG. The bridge, the chorus, the melody, everything is EVERYTHING. This song deserved to be a single. Especially the bridge!!!!!!!!!!! 

    Best lyric: "We were jet-set, Bonnie and Clyde (oh-oh)

    Until I switched to the other side, to the other side" 

    Score: 100/10
