A Track-by-Track Review of Taylor Swift's 'Reputation'

A closeted Swift superfan breaks down each's song's significance in 140 characters.

On Friday, Taylor Swift unleased her Reputation on the world and it is unsurprisingly a well-written, slickly produced, ostentatiously expensive piece of pop perfection.

Swift is obviously a controversial figure, so when Out asked a gay Taylor Swift superfan to give their honest review of Reputation, the fan in question had two stipulations: that they could remain anonymous ("the stans are crazy and I don't need the receipts") and that each track could be reviewed in 140 characters or less. Because if you can't give an in-depth analysis of a Taylor Swift song in the length of a single tweet, are you even a Swifty? And yes, that is actually what her fans call themselves.

For the purposes of this review, in case anyone from the Witness protection program wants to know, we'll call our intrepid reviewer pix2burn1522@aol.com. All capitalization is not only intended but important, and may in fact hold a secret message.
