'LWYMMD' Director Says Taylor Swift's New Album Is A 'Monster'
The anticipation for 'Reputation' just got even bigger...
In case you’ve been living under a rock, Taylor Swift’s musical return is pretty huge.
After a quick social media blackout that embraced her ‘snake’ persona, the singer announced her new album Reputation and released its catchy lead single ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ that has quickly topped the charts worldwide and broke all kinds of records.
The massive success hasn’t come without controversy, which the video’s director Joseph Kahn has chatted about in a new interview with Variety… where he also revealed some very exciting things about the album.
Don't like your tilted stage
The role you made me play of the fool
No, I don't like you
I don't like your perfect crime
How you laugh when you lie
You said the gun was mine
Isn't cool, no, I don't like you
But I got smarter; I got harder in the nick of time
Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time
I got a list of names, and yours is in red, underlined
I check it once, then I check it twice, oh!
Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me...
Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me do
I don't like your kingdom keys
They once belonged to me
You asked me for a place to sleep
Locked me out and threw a feast (What?)
The world moves on, another day another drama, drama
But not for me, not for me, all I think about is karma
And then the world moves on, but one thing's for sure
Maybe I got mine, but you'll all get yours
But I got smarter
I got harder in the nick of time (Nick of time)
Honey, I rose up from the dead
I do it all the time (I do it all the time)
I got a list of names, and yours is in red, underlined
I check it once, then I check it twice, oh!
Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me...
Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me do
I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me
I'll be the actress starring in your bad dreams
I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me
I'll be the actress starring in your bad dreams
I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me
I'll be the actress starring in your bad dreams
I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me
I'll be the actress starring in your bad dreams
"I'm sorry
But the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now
Why? Oh, 'cause she's dead"
Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me...
Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me do
Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me...
Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me do
First off, he generally just takes a moment to stan Taylor and comments on her new direction, which has famously created the 'Old Taylor' and seemingly portrays 2017 Taylor Swift as a whole new woman.
“Her imaging may be changing depending on what the thematics of the art is that she’s producing [but] the person remains the same, there’s a core person there that’s really a fantastic human being.”
He dismisses the notion that she is ‘manipulative’, stating that "Bottom line? Great person, smart, an artist.”
He confirms that he has heard Reputation in its entirety and - NO ONE PANIC - he says it's “spectacular”.
“The album is truly […] What she does is magical. It’s always impressive to me every single time. I’ll just say that the album is a monster."
While monsters aren't always our thing, this is one we're fine to get on board with.

WATCH TAYLOR SWIFT AND ZAYN MALIK'S 'I DON'T WANNA LIVE FOREVER' VIDEO
Behind these four walls, hoping you'd call
It's just a cruel existence like it's no point hoping at all
Baby, baby, I feel crazy
Up all night, all night and every day
Give me something, oh, but you say nothing
What is happening to me?
I don't wanna live forever, 'cause I know I'll be living in vain
And I don't wanna fit wherever
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home
I'm sitting eyes wide open and I got one thing stuck in my mind
Wondering if I dodged a bullet or just lost the love of my life
Baby, baby, I feel crazy
Up all night, all night and every day
I gave you something, but you gave me nothing
What is happening to me?
I don't wanna live forever, 'cause I know I'll be living in vain
And I don't wanna fit (fit, babe) wherever (wherever)
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home
I've been looking sad in all the nicest places
Baby, baby, I feel crazy
I see you around in all these empty faces
Up all night, all night and every day
I've been looking sad in all the nicest places
Give me something, oh, but you say nothing
Now I'm in a cab, I tell 'em where your place is
What is happening to me?
I don't wanna live forever, 'cause I know I'll be living in vain
And I don't wanna fit wherever
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name
Until you come back home
Until you come back home
