How to stream Taylor Swift’s new album Reputation when it arrives
Looking to listen to all of Reputation when Taylor Swift releases it on Nov. 10? You don’t have to wait until morning if you’re willing to stay up.
It’s finally here: the night before Taylor Swift finally unleashes Reputation on the world. And you may already have your pre-order in place. But if you just can’t wait, or you haven’t decided whether or not to spend the money on it, you may be wondering where on earth you can stream it and get a taste of what the whole album sounds like.
In an emailed press release, iHeartRadio has confirmed that as of at 12:01 a.m. ET on Nov. 10, it’ll be home to reputation in the form of, you guessed it, an online radio station.
In fact, it’s this radio station:
Unfortunately, you’ll have to wade through other classic tracks — the description itself even points out that “Her Greatest Hits” are also going to pop up on this station, and the press release includes the deal that there will be one new track “at the top of every hour” — so you’ll have to come back or just keep listening. But what’s not to enjoy about a Swift palate cleanser before diving back into the new stuff?
The press release also points out that it will be the “only place to stream or hear … for free,” which means that if you were hoping to head over to Spotify or Apple Music … you’ll be out of luck, at least for a week, according to Cult of Mac and ultimately Bloomberg.
Of course, should you be ready for it, if by it you mean “paying for the album,” you’ll be able to go through all the usual suspects like iTunes, although Google Play, as of this writing, does not have a pre-order up on its artist page for her.

Either way, Reputation is coming.
