History Music / Reputation

* TermsOfEndangerment:
** The RevengeBallad "Look What You Made Me Do" says:
--->''Honey'', I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time\\
I've got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined
** "[[TitleDrop This is why we can't have nice things]], ''darling''."

* AnswerSong: "Look What You Made Me Do," to Music/{{Katy Perry}}'s "Swish Swish," [[TakeThatTitForTat itself an Answer Song to]] Swift's "Bad Blood."
* AppropriatedAppellation: After Creator/KimKardashian released the recording of the phone call that seemed to show Swift approving Music/{{Kanye West}}'s lyric about her in "Famous" (which Swift had previously denied knowledge of), detractors flooded Taylor's social media accounts with serpent emojis, calling her a [[SnakesAreSinister "lying snake."]] Swift, perhaps inspired by the animal's [[SerpentOfImmortality connections with immortality]], chose to reclaim the insult. Months later, she blacked out all her accounts, then posted a set of snake [=GIFs=] on her Instagram to announce the upcoming ''reputation''. Snakes went on [[AnimalMotif to feature as something of an]] ArcSymbol to the album, appearing on her rings and around her throne in the music video to "Look What You Made Me Do," [[{{Ouroboros}} featuring prominently]] in the lyric video for the same, and adorning the stage in massive scale on the Reputation Stadium Tour.

'''The rest''': Oh, '''SHUT UP!'''

** "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things" is generally agreed to be about Kanye West and his [[HeelFaceRevolvingDoor repeated betrayals]] of her trust after she forgave him for the infamous incident where he barged his way onstage to interrupt her acceptance speech at the 2009 [=VMA=] Awards.

'''[=VMA=] Taylor:''' Um-- I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative.\\
