Rap Fans React to “End Game” | Taylor Swift FT Future & Ed Sheeran | Reputation

Rap fans react to Taylor Swift’s “End Game” featuring Future and Ed Sheeran from the Reputation album and this might be our most surprising Taylor Swift reaction yet!

Going into this, Robert and Rick were curious and slightly skeptical. Taylor Swift, Future and Ed Sheeran on the same track? Three completely different styles of music. How does that even work?

We break down the full music video with lyrics on screen and they immediately realize this isn’t what they expected.

Future opens the track with his signature flow, and we discuss his delivery, his cadence, and what his verse feeds to the vibe of End Game. Rick gives honest thoughts on Future’s rap style and discusses a huge call-out Snoop Dogg did towards modern rap artists like Future and Migos.. but that's a story for another day.

Then Ed Sheeran comes in.... rapping! And they were NOT ready for it! The boys were fully expecting him to sing. Instead, he delivers a storytelling verse about the ups and downs of his relationship, staying in the pocket, hitting the flow, and surprising both of the boys with his ability to switch styles, show off his accent and tell a story all at once.

We replay his verse twice because the boys loved it so much and Robert even calls it “nasty" and tries to learn the words in real time!

We also dive into how Taylor Swift shoots her music videos, how major artists avoid leaks by using click tracks, and why Robert compares her strategy to 90s and early 2000s rappers.

When Taylor comes in with her own rap verse, the energy shifts again. We break down her delivery, her swag, and specific lines like:

“Your eyes are liquor, it’s like your body is gold.”

We talk about how she structured the song, how she let Future and Ed Sheeran shine, and why the collaboration feels balanced instead of forced.

Robert calls End Game a masterpiece.

Rick calls it a classic.

And we compare it to late 90s / early 2000s rap and R&B collaborations that had Millennials in a chokehold.

Was this the perfect Reputation single?

Did Taylor Swift prove she can hang in a hip-hop space while bringing her own style and swag to the conversation?

Let us know in the comments.
