It's been almost 8 years since Taylor released her 6th highly anticipated studio album. Through the feuds and thinkpieces and disappearing for over a year, relationships and situations, a complicated masterpiece was born. I want to reexamine Reputation, the fall that lead to it and the love that made it the beloved album it became.

Snippet from the script:

Look at What you made me Do Was the gargantuan lead single. It broke YouTube and streaming records and made international news and it was not well like by the general public.  Many critics analysed the song to be a response to her feud with Kanye and Kim. And whereas I think this theory holds a lot of weight, I also think this song is about the public itself. We see from her latest album TTPD that Taylor can internalize the speculations and ideologies surrounding. This was her first response to the people who always talk about her and judge her. Taylor examines her abusive and toxic relationship to fame and the public. To the public she is both victim and villain; it just depends on the narrative they want to paint for that day. She has been so exploited and used, so over exposed that she has become like an abused predator. She lashes out and become volatile, makes enemies and seeks to destroy the people who have wronged her. And whereas some critics think that Taylor is gloating about this fact, I see it more as bravo. She is not happy about this person she has become. Especially after finding this love that is so different than anything she has ever experienced. She is anger because she feels like she has been forced to become this vengeful person and then all she got for it was being hated. The public has forced her to kill the innocence she has and then they vilified her for not still being that girl.
