Just three days remain until Taylor Swift unleashes new album ‘Reputation.’

Unlike prior efforts, the project has not been supported by an onslaught of promotion (at least not yet) and has instead been plugged by way of video and song premieres. A move that has, for now, proven fruitful (see: #1 charting of lead single ‘Look What You Made Me Do’).
