ALBUM OF THE DAY: Taylor Swift - reputation (2017) (3/?)
WHICH PEDRO BOY IS BASED ON? Javier Peña
ALBUM VIBES (listen to it on Spotify)
A Taylor Swift classic, a telltale about finding love while navigating the worst time of your life. Despite the darker aesthetics, reputation has some of the happiest Swift songs to this day, making it a balance of good and bad karma like Javier Peña’s arc in Narcos. Revenge, crime metaphors and even running away from a previous lover are themes both in the lyrics and Javi’s scenes. Pretty much every song has a lyric that connects with him, the list below is big.
