Data Insight

Reputation is Taylor Swift's darker, electropop reinvention, and she co-wrote all fifteen of its tracks. She made it with Max Martin, Shellback, and Jack Antonoff, leaning into synth-pop and hip-hop textures. The comeback single Look What You Made Me Do reframed her public image and topped the Billboard Hot 100.

Reputation is Taylor Swift's sixth studio album, released November 10, 2017, through Big Machine Records. Coming after a year-long public withdrawal following feuds with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian, the album leaned into a darker, more guarded persona constructed around electronic production, trap-influenced beats, and themes of celebrity manipulation. It became the best-selling album of 2017 in the United States and the fastest-selling in Taylor Swift's career at the time, despite zero promotional appearances or media interviews. Jack Antonoff co-wrote and co-produced most of the album's warmer second half, 'Getaway Car,' 'Dress,' 'Call It What You Want,' 'New Year's Day', while Max Martin and Shellback handled the harder-edged lead singles. The album's two collaborations, 'End Game' (with Ed Sheeran and Future) and 'Gorgeous,' signal a more permissive attitude toward the trap influences that would recede by her next record.
