Taylor Swift has revealed a second track off her upcoming Reputation with new song "…Ready for It?" A portion of the song premiered Saturday during the broadcast of the Alabama vs. Florida State college football game before Swift dropped the complete track Sunday morning.

I kicked myself later because I got the regular edition. When later on the Deluxe edition had one of my favorite songs of all time now: "You are in Love"
I am a huge Taylor Swift Fan (or waft as you call it ;) )as well. Even I admit that she is a commercial package, who has to run her songs by the corporate system and get their approval to market her product.
But, "You are in Love" has just a little soul to it.
Just a little something more there.
I don't like this song -- TS the rapper just doesn't cut it; does not show her talented voice.
I thought you’d come up with a cool new term, and I was planning to use it in the future. Now you’ve blown it ...
I learned “lit” from my 6th grade Sunday School class this year. It means something like “cool” or “interesting.” (As opposed to “drunk,” which is what it used to mean.
Sigh. I’m just never quite cool enough. ;)
Spend enough time with sixth-graders, and you, too, can be lit!
Wildest Dreams is my favorite on 1989 by far. Very sexy and obviously about a married famous guy. No, I have no idea whom. I love it though.
Maybe I can be based. Lol. I have a K and an 8th grader so I’m somewhere between omnipotent and really really dumb. Ha ha.
I’ve been waiting for this new album too. Now I’m worried it will all be too cool for school. I’m ok with her going through phases, I just want the writing to be genuine, the music to be good, and not artifice.
Me too. It sounds like the trendy songs coming from another 7 or 8 female entertainers and she doesn’t pull it off as well as some of the others do.
Yeah, I can see that. I haven’t yet attempted to be based.
The country stuff was catchy, I liked Red a lot, and I sincerely, truthfully believe that 1989 will be the definitive album of Swift's career. Like you said, there isn't a bad song on the album. Even the throwaways are good. And the good songs are absolute dynamite. The album as a whole is a towering musical achievement that stands should-to-shoulder with some of pop music's greatest releases.
Now Taylor Swift finds herself in the same spot as U2 after Joshua Tree, Price after Purple Rain, Jackson after Thriller, Zeppelin after Physical Graffiti, the Stones after Exile...
You've released your career-defining masterpiece. How do you follow it up? The truth is, you can't.
And what I'm hearing underscores my point. The songs are ok but they're missing that spark of magic. She's still young, not yet 28, with good music in her future, but there will never be another 1989. Those career-defining albums don't happen twice.
I’m tempted to give it a listen, but since everything else she’s produced to date sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me, I think I’ll pass.
In support of your point, I say "Andrews, Julie." :)
All I know Scott Eastwood is the guy in the Music Video.
A Perfect Song and video to go with it :)
She played the slower version during the "1989" World Tour.
A pity, since I think the regular version would have rammed up her concert even more.
We also have this.
