My ranking of the songs of reputation along with a review of the song. 
So before i start with this ranking i just want to say that this review is coming from a pretty neutral pov. I’m neither a fan of taylor swift nor am i a hater. 15. Look what you made me do. Honestly, Idk what was she even thinking while making this track. This may be one of the worst tracks she has ever recorded. It may have done well in the charts / broken records initially due to the hype but it fell down pretty quickly cause there is no substance. Bland lyrics, bad chorus. The music video saved it tho and made it borderline tolerable.  14. So it goes... Nothing special about it. Its basic af. Also its pretty forgettable.    13. Dancing with our hands tied Another filler track. 12. King of my heart Much of these computerized vocal effect strips the particulars and character of her voice. She has better love songs than these. This..is nothing special. 11. ...Ready for it ? Taylor swift trying to rap is cringey. The chorus is the best part of the song and the only thing that sounds like her. This song could’ve been sung by anybody. ( it sounds like a song rejected by rihanna ) It lacks that taylor swift mark.  10. End game I’m pretty sure she will release this as a single considering the collaboration being too big to fail. But that doesn’t make it any less weird. Its a really bad song  and the future verse is wasted. Also she tries to rap again and um...lets just leave it to that. 9. Gorgeous. The old taylor ain’t dead after all. This song manages to prove that. Its not a great love song but its alright. It would’ve been better in her last album. 8. Dress I’ll be very honest with you, i was way too hyped about it. Because literally everyone was like “this is way too sexy” and then i listened to it and i was just like - ...???!? Its not at all sexy. Tbh when beyonce sings sexual songs she REALLY does sound way too sexual and they turn out to be great bedroom songs ( See : Partition , drunk in love, Rocket, Blow, Naughty girl ) When rihanna does that, it sounds edgy, dark and sexy ( See: S&M , Skin ) But Taylor doesn’t know how to sound sexy and sensual. The song is borderline catchy and a lil bit romantic but it never turns sexy which is something that she definitely wanted it to be.  Also the “Ah ah ah ahhh” part makes me cringe.  7. This is why we can’t have nice things. The Bad blood of reputation but with some real shade. The references are obvious and that loud cackle is infectious. Also the reference to his broken friendship with jay z made me gasp. The whole toast to her friends, her baby, her momma and him ( *coughs* kanye ) is so damn good.
6. Don’t blame me A thick gospel vibe, catchy hook and the “my drug is my baby” reference makes it one of the best tracks of the album. It could be a potential single. Its a great track. 5. Delicate “My reputation’s never been worse, so you must like me for me” is a great lyric. This track peels back all the EDM aggression and shows real vulnerability. Also the “isn’t it isn’t it” chant is amazing. 
 4. Getaway Car. Oh damn. It could easily pass off as a 1989 track but that doesn’t mean its not good. Idk why she didn’t release this as a single. This is something that i would play on repeat. It is so catchy and the lyrics are really good. No wonder its a fan favourite.  3. I did something bad The real “bad girl” track of the album. This is some hot tea. Each lyric hits the bullseye.  That frighteningly irresistible "Da-da-da-da" vocal loop, the whole blank space 2.0 persona, the witch hunt thing. Everything adds on to the charm of this track. i really hope she makes a kickass video for this.  2. Call it what you want. After three bad singles, we were blessed with this and it reignited my hope that the album may have more tracks like this. It didn’t... but the last two tracks kinda make up for it. I’ll just ignore the “trust him like a brother” part because that sounds weird but otherwise this track is honestly a blessing. You can almost hear the pride in her voice when she says “My baby” 
1. New years day It’s still not on “All too well” level of lyrics. But honestly, this track is still a blessing. She saved the best for the last. Its the calm after the storm and i’m here for this track. This one is a keeper. “Please don’t ever become a stranger whose laugh i could recognize anywhere” hit me right in the feels. Overall, this album is better than 1989 but saying that its much better than red is a reach. I think people felt that way because she;s pulling off the whole mean girl persona while also remaining happy and in love unlike red which has more sad tracks tbh. But that doesn’t make it better than the fine lyrics and controlled / stripped off vocals of Red. Still, Reputation is a fine album. Better than a lot of non-fans expected after listening to the initial singles. 
Ofcourse, this is just my opinion and i would love to know your opinions about this album
