Taylor Swift’s upcoming album, Reputation, is shrouded in secrecy. From the three singles she’s released so far—”Look What You Made Me Do,” “Ready for It?,” and “Gorgeous”—we know it’s her most emotionally charged effort yet, but that’s about it. The fans who’ve attended Swift’s Reputation secret listening sessions can’t stop raving about the record, but how much of an indicator is that? They’re stans. Swift could Auto-Tune a burp and they’d say, “Bravo! Grammy! So many layers!” (No shade to them, either. I do the same thing with Madonna.)

But Swift’s bestie Selena Gomez offered some new tea about Reputation in a recent interview with Zane Lowe. The radio DJ asked Gomez if Reputation is “incredible,” and here’s what she had to say:

“Would you expect anything less? It’s so inspiring. It’s really cool
to surround yourself with people and be involved with people who are
inspiring and changing the way they dictate what they love, whether
it’s acting or music, and she’s one of those people who will continue
to do that.”

At first, this doesn’t seem like much. Gomez is one of Swift’s good friends, so of course her review of Reputation is positive. But read between the lines a little bit: Gomez implies that on Reputation Swift “changes the way she dictates what she loves.” That’s a sign we have a major reinvention on our hands. Sonically, we heard this with “Look What You Made Me Do,” but what if there are other changes in store? Perhaps the record is more diverse than we thought. The three songs out right now are all pretty much electronic pop, but maybe the others are different.

Gomez added that Swift personally played the record for her (natch) and that it’s “everything you would want and more.”

“I obviously love her so much, and I want her to do what she does. She’s killing it,” she said. “So, [I’m] very proud, and obviously a major fan.”
