The Internet reacted to Taylor Swift’s new album it being her most explicit album so far.

“When does she have time to record a new album while on tour?” one user commented.

A second expressed concern after Apple Music rated it explicit, “Oh no! All the poor parents who defend and hail her as a role model to young people. One who doesn't cuss, whose lyrics are devoid of explicit language blah!blah!blah! "

“Apparently it's been two years in making, Taylor's words while announcing the album,” another shared a thought.

One person commented, “If she is going to put out explicit songs , she needs to stop behaving like a teenager, because it gets creepy.”

“Hopefully there is a “clean” version for the little swifties,” wrote a user.
