Yes! Taylor has once again teamed up with Target, this time to release an exclusive 72-page booklet with handwritten lyrics, commentary, and more.

It’s official! According to Billboard, the album sold a total of 1.2 million copies in its first week!

That sum – reflecting the tracking week ending Nov. 16 – is the 10th-largest sales week for any album since Nielsen Music began electronically tracking sales in 1991 and Swift’s fourth million-selling week. She is the only artist in Nielsen Music history to achieve four million-selling weeks. (Previously, both Swift and Adele had three million-selling frames.) Reputation is Swift’s sixth studio album and was released on Nov. 10 through Big Machine Records. Swift earlier earned million-selling weeks with the debut weeks of each of her last three studio sets: 1989 (1.287 million in 2014), Red (1.208 million, 2012) and Speak Now (1.047 million, 2010)."

According to a fan who attended the London Secret Sessions, Taylor’s dad, Scott, said reputation is his favorite album of hers.

Jack told Entertainment Weekly:

It’s an intense album, and that’s what I care about. In the course of a day — in the course of two minutes — you can feel like you can conquer the world, or you can feel like the biggest piece of garbage that ever existed. An album or song should feel that way too. It should have the whole gamut of what it actually is like for the artist to be alive at that moment. The sessions were just her and I. She would come over to my apartment, and we would talk and eat and talk more, and the things we talked about turned into songs. She is great at remembering the heart and soul of the process. Some people forget it — sometimes something works and everyone starts to rewire it. But she’s really great at knowing what it’s about: talking about what the hell is going on in your life and somehow finding a way to take that exact emotion and make a song out of it. That was the theme of those sessions: ‘Let’s just tell this story, whatever that story is, because that’s the whole point.’ […] 1989 was different. I would send her tracks, and she would write to that. We did reputation sitting in the room together. There were lyric ideas or things like that [that she would bring], but I would say the majority of it came from scratch. Things would just happen in the room. It was a special time.

Taylor told Rolling Stone:

Creating reputation felt different to any other album I’ve ever made because it felt a lot less fragmented in its storytelling. It was about a journey, from one emotional place to another. Other albums I’ve made have felt like a scrapbook of different memories, but there was something overarching about the theme of this album for me. I wanted it to sound like losing something you thought you wanted, and in the end, gaining something you really needed.

Yes! Swift told Entertainment Weekly that much of the album was influenced by HBO’s smash hit Game of Thrones.

These songs were half based on what I was going through, but seeing them through a Game of Thrones filter. ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ is literally Arya Stark’s kill list. ‘King of My Heart’ was influenced by Khal Drogo and Daenerys. It’s even got this post-hook of drums — I wanted them to sound like Dothraki drums […] ‘I Did Something Bad,’ I wrote after Arya and Sansa conspire to kill Littlefinger.
