Before the official release of Reputation, Swift already received praise about the album. Fans were invited to exclusive listening parties and completely lost their sh*t over the album, but were careful not to leak any info.

Other waves of praise came from Swift's close friends like Selena Gomez. While doing press for "Wolves," the topic of Reputation came up (of course). During an interview with Zane Lowe for Beats Radio 1, Gomez was asked: "Have you heard the Taylor album? Is it good, is it incredible?"

Gomez answered: "Would you expect any less?" She added,

It's so inspiring. It's really cool to surround yourself with people and be involved with people who are aspiring and changing the way that they dictate what they love, whether it's acting or music, and she's one of those people who will continue to do that.
Another celebrity endorsement for Reputation came from Ed Sheeran. He stayed a little more tight-lipped than Gomez. During a recent interview with Roman Kemp on Capital Breakfast, Sheeran said about the album,

Yeah, I think the songs are great, I think the visuals, she’s really putting everything into the visuals as well, the visuals are really impressive. I think people will like the album!
I weigh this review pretty heavy because Sheeran can be brutally honest. Plus, he and Swift are close friends. There have been rumors that there will be a collaboration track featuring Sheeran, but nothing has been confirmed as of now. HOW AMAZING WOULD THAT BE THOUGH?!

We are literally just hours away from the release of Reputation. There are a lot of high hopes, and, so far, Swift has not disappointed. I AM SO READY
