Though 2017’s reputation might have been perceived as a gorgeously constructed piece of dramatic theater-its attendant heroes and villains all real-life characters from Swift's public feuds-all that spectacle proved an attention-grabbing cover for her most romantic album yet. If you use a Mac computer (macOS), the old stand-alone iTunes Store app no longer exists. If you have an iPhone or iPad (iOS), the iTunes Store can be downloaded as an app from the App store.

Buying music on the iTunes store depends on your operating system. Her early, youthful love songs heralded 2010's newly self-possessed Speak Now-which showed off her scathing wit-and evolved into knowing, ironclad pop fare that held its own against boisterous Max Martin production on 1989, her fifth album, titled after her birth year. And the thrill of following Swift’s rise has been watching her execute it flawlessly, largely because her melodic intelligence is equal to that ambition.
