50 free Reputation (Taylor Swift Album) trivia questions with answers — music quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Reputation arrived in November 2017 after Taylor Swift had spent a year out of public view, and it is still the most argued-over release in her catalogue. On the surface it is loud, defensive and funny. Underneath, it is a love story told in order, from a first spark to a quiet morning after a party. This quiz covers the album from every side: what the songs refer to and who helped write them, the hidden jokes in the music videos, the marketing stunts before release day, the stadium tour and what happened to the album afterwards. Lyrics cannot be reprinted here, so the lyric questions ask what a line names or describes instead of asking you to fill in a blank. It is written for fans who know the era well, with plenty of easier questions for anyone who mostly knows the singles.
