After making fans wait three years and two weeks exactly, Taylor Swift is finally about to drop her eagerly anticipated new album.

The US pop superstar kicked off the promo for Reputation last month by drip feeding fans with teasers of snake clips before unveiling the new Taylor and declaring the old one “dead”.

With less than 24 hours to go until fans can get their hands on the album, here’s everything you need to know:

What is it about?

Swift has marked her musical comeback with an image overhaul and a clap back at her haters. Look What You Made Me Do was dubbed a “revenge” track by fans who believe it is directed at Kim Kardashian and Kanye West following their public spat. There are also apparent swipes at Katy Perry who she has been embroiled in a lengthy feud with over backing dancers and also her ex Calvin Harris who lambasted her on Twitter over a song credit.

But fans can also expect tracks about her boyfriend Joe Alwyn who she describes as having “ocean blue eyes” on Gorgeous and subtly references in Ready For It.

Will there be collaborations?

Swift released the track list on Instagram earlier this week after it was leaked online. Fans went wild after it was revealed she had collaborated with Ed Sheeran and Future on End Game.

The fill track list:

1. ...Ready For It

2. End Game [Feat. Ed Sheeran and Future]

3. I Did Something Bad

4. Don't Blame Me

5. Delicate

6. Look What You Made Me Do

7. So It Goes...

8. Gorgeous

9. Getaway Car

10. King Of My Heart

11. Dancing With Our Hands Tied

12. Dress

13. This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things

14. Call It What You Want

15. New Year's Day

How can I listen to it?

The only way to binge the album is to part with some cash and buy it. Rumour has it that it won’t be available to stream online for at least a week as she is said to still be in talks to secure a deal.

Swift’s back catalogue was only added to Spotify in June, three years after she pulled it.

Will she tour the album?

Swift has yet to announce plans, but she will no doubt give fans a taster of the new music when she headlines Capital’s Jingle Bell Ball in December.

The gig will mark her first UK live date in over two years following her 2015 gig at British Summer Time. Fans are expecting a duet with Sheeran after he was confirmed to play.

When is it out?
