    I recognize that reputation is lyrically one of Taylor’s worst albums, but something just AWAKENS in me every time I hear the intro to …ready for it?

    Did I get to see the eras tour live??? No, but did YOU 🫵🏻 get to see Taylor perform radioactive with imagine dragons at the 1989 tour in detroit? I think not.

    Anyway!!! Ranking of Taylor’s albums 😚:

    1. evermore
    2. folklore
