Overall well done. I agree with much of this reporting. I would put 1989 at 1, as I believe that is her best album top to bottom. My only gripe is with “Reputation.” While there are many good tunes on that album, “Look What You Made Me Do” is so bad that it ruins the whole rest of the album. I cannot overstate how bad that song is. Listening to that song is like forcing someone to rub sand paper aggressively over their ears for five minutes, and then punching them in the face. So bad. In place of “Reputation,” I contend that “Fearless” would round out this list nicely. In closing, “Look What You Made Me Do” is the W.O.A.T.
