Conceptual lyric video designs for Reputation (Taylor's Version) (Hallett's Version)

Hi! So, this is a post I've been mentioning for a while now, and it's the first part of a four-part series that will span over the next few weeks. If you don't know already, whenever Taylor Swift rerecords an album, she releases lyric videos for all of the songs on that album. A lot of them are actually really cool, with some almost functioning as proper music videos. Unlike the typical lyric videos, Taylor's lyric videos are generally set over a background that encapsulates the song or the era, sometimes multiple shifting backgrounds, and sometimes with a montage of photos (usually from the album's tour). Some of my personal favorites of the lyric videos so far are the ones for All Too Well, Clean, 22, Blank Space, Today Was A Fairytale, Jump Then Fall, The Lucky One, and I Can See You, so I recommend you should check those out!

Anyway, this is another fan design-style post that I've done a few of before, but it's different from the ones I've already done. I made conceptual designs for lyric videos for Reputation (Taylor's Version). No, I didn't make entire videos, just pictures with the core design ideas I had in mind. And yes, I made all of these without the help of AI because I'm extra like that. Also, as much time and effort as I put into getting these to look great, it's not like I perfected each design pixel-by-pixel, because... that's just simply not possible. There may very well be some errors, so I'm sorry if I didn't catch a minor typo in the lyrics, or a tiny camouflaged watermark on one of the random royalty-free stock photos I used, or one unnecessary pixel of fuchsia-ish-mauve in the middle of a blank space. Don't attack me for any misplaced pixels. I'm not Taylor Swift.

I'd love to hear in the comments which ones are your personal favorites. I think Gorgeous turned out the best (which may be because Gorgeous is my favorite song on Reputation so I put more effort into making that one... well, gorgeous) but I'm pretty proud of all of these, and there were none that felt particularly "low-effort" even though I can't imagine any of these truly being official lyric videos (except maybe Gorgeous... and maybe a few others, let me know what you think!) 

There will be no further explanation. There will just be... R E P U T A T I O N.
