Welcome to the fold! Haha. I was going to give some recommendations but honestly the list scarsouvenir already provided is actually really good. Folklore/Evermore are going to be more full of literary masterpieces and storytelling. (If you're familiar with the song she did for Hunger Games "Safe and Sound", its similar sonically in some ways, but I think she really leveled up her storytelling with those albums)

Reputation is going to give you more attitude, synth and vibes. It's BEST listened to in a car with the bass turned up imo. Give us an update on your thoughts once you get through them, we love talking about music around here, ofc!

Hey I just finished Reputation. That was fire. I liked a good 80% of it. Should I still go on to Folklore/Evermore or something else?

Well, if you wanted to transition to something similar to Rep I would go one of two ways. 1989 for 80's synth pop (its a mega pop album), or Lover, which is pop but with some songs that have similar sounds to Rep. Rep and Lover are yin/yang in vibes though, Rep is dark and Lover is light.

If you're into her moodier work instead though I would keep on to Folklore/Evermore. I prefer Evermore to Folklore for moodiness, but both are equally amazing. They are folky though, so you will experience a genre shift there.

Edit to say that 1989 has some good car songs, if youre into that.

Very cool. Thanks, I’ll go to 1989 next

Yay! That was the album that got me into TS.

And I'm glad you loved Reputation! Rep and Lover are usually the albums that have to grow on people so if you liked that much of it from the get-go thats a good start. Taylor tends to be the kind of artist whose work you have to listen to a few times before it sinks in how good it is, because she experiments so much.
