In Defense of Taylor Swift's Reputation Album

In Defense of My Fave is a podcast where guests defend albums through track-by-track tier rankings, hot takes, context, lore, and personal stories, with Season 1 focused on Taylor Swift. For this episode, Bev and the host Morgan defend Taylor Swift’s Reputation to Raina, a country-era Swift fan. The discussion covers 2017’s darker pop landscape, Taylor’s media backlash after 1989 and the Kanye/Kim controversy, and how Reputation functions as a bait-and-switch concept album mixing public-image songs with Joe Alwyn love songs. They debate production choices, fandom culture, and favorite tracks. Morgan reveals how the albums stack up against each other in her personal preference, backed by math, of course!
