Singer and songwriter Taylor Swift has released her first single off of her sixth studio album, “Reputation,” and the internet doesn’t know how to feel about it.

The song, “Look What You Made Me Do,” has been praised for this “new era” of Taylor Swift and her music. From what I’ve have heard about this so far, it’s what I expect will be one of the worst Swift eras we’ve seen. Having already changed her style and genre several times before in her career, the country singer turned pop star has had several chart-topping albums and singles, each album a new chapter in her life and career.

Don’t get me wrong, country era Taylor was iconic, and her songs like Love Story and Teardrops On My Guitar spark an impromptu sing-along every time. However, ever since her 2014 album, “1989,” was released, Swift’s music has gone downhill.

It seems as though the singer changes her style constantly to cater to whatever has been popular, instead of staying to her music roots. Fans and critics alike seem to agree with the rumored conclusions of Swift copying the style, dance, and overall sound from other performers. Most recently, the music video for “Look What You Made Me Do” has been heavily criticized for its dance routine, appearing to be far too close to Beyonce’s latest videos and dances.

Is this Swift’s comeback song from all the drama? The lyrics “I don’t trust nobody and nobody trusts me” surfaces several times, and fans were quick to try and connect this to all the recent drama Taylor Swift has had publicized throughout the past year, most notably, the “Kim and Kanye” drama. Kanye West had used Swift’s name in his song, when later she claimed it was without her consent, and Kim Kardashian proved to the world on her Snapchat that Swift was lying with a video recording of her giving West permission, claiming she “loved the song.”

More recently, Swift won a highly-publicized sexual assault case against former radio DJ David Mueller, winning a symbolic $1 after a two-year trial process. Swift accused Mueller of groping her at a concert meet-and-greet back in 2013, when the singer was 23.

Swift’s newest song, in its entirety is okay the first time you listen to it; otherwise, you have to admit it’s a bit tacky. The sickly catchy lyrics and overused pop melodies add to the song’s overall unsatisfying taste and makes me wish for a time when Swift and her music had the essence of poetic country music. Hopefully, I’ll be wrong and this new album will bring back some old Taylor Swift vibes.
