Taylor Swift is set to release her sixth studio album, Reputation, on Friday, Nov. 10. And, regardless of your thoughts on the 27-year-old, she’s always had a way with words.

Which is why for months (years, arguably), die-hard fans, gossip lovers and even the media have been anxious to get a true glimpse into Swift’s life over the past three years.

Taylor Swift Drops Heartfelt New Single 'Call It What You Want' -- Listen!

The GRAMMY-winning artist has always let the music do the talking – it’s one of her greatest strengths. Heck, when she released 1989, she included packs of Polaroid photos in each hard copy – with a handwritten lyric from the album printed on each one. And we’re confident that this album will be no different. We’ve learned so much from the songs she’s already released -- not to mention the caption she left on an Instagram post on Aug. 25 after announcing the album: “There will be no further explanation. There will just be reputation.”

Whether she’s singing about romance, heartbreak or friendship, Swift has a way of crafting smart, timeless, vibrant and universal lyrics that are easily applicable to anyone’s life.
