While fans may have initially thoughtTaylor Swift’s latest album was merely about the complicated reputation she’s acquired, love is actually at the center of the release.
“[I] think there was abit of a bait-and-switchthat happened with this album when we put out ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ and we’re like, ‘Guys, this album is gonna be one thing.’ And when the album came out, it’s legitimately an album about finding love throughout all the noise,” Swift told a crowd of fans at an intimateTaylor Swift Nowconcert in Chicago, seemingly referencing her relationship with boyfriendJoe Alwyn, according toEntertainment Tonight.
Explaining the journey at the center ofreputation, the “Delicate” singer, 28, remarked, “It starts with the noise and how that makes all you feel, and how it makes you feel when people are saying things about you that you feel, like, aren’t true and living your life sort of in defiance of that.”

And doesn’t it matter the most to you that you knowwho your real friends arenow?”
