Over 15 years and 11 Grammy wins, Swift has received criticism for writing silly love songs for girls, for dating too many men, for writing songs about her exes, for allegedly being a “snake” (thanks Kanye & Kim). The hate never ends!
In this episode, we’re joined by long-time Swifities Soph, Lizzy and Joss to discuss how Swift squashed the criticism with her sixth album Reputation (2017). After a year of silence from Swift, she dropped Reputation’s lead single “Look What You Made Me Do” – a scathing middle finger to the music industry and the media filled with snakes, vaults of money and 15 different Taylor Swifts from various eras.
Reputation was the moment Swift stopped caring what the media said about her, stepping into the most authentic version of herself. With the release of Folklore and Evermore in 2020, Swift has finally gained the approval of the media (and took home a Grammy for Album of the Year along the way). But with her turbulent history, how long will the media love Swift?
