The Best Albums of 2017, According to Us

"While I was hesitant to meet 'the new Taylor Swift,' after listening to Reputation all the way through for the first time, I just couldn't shake it off. With each new album, Swift sets out to do something completely different from her last, and she certainly went above and beyond this time around. While this style of music is unlike anything she's ever done before, Swift certainly hasn't lost her touch when it comes to witty lyrics and hidden references. It's no wonder Reputation is this year's top-selling album." — Kelsie Gibson, assistant editor
