apparently her (first ever) political instagram post and endorsement led to a surge in voter registration.
it's true, Swift is the only person in America campaigning for voter registration, with this one instagram post

I saw her Sydney show a few nights ago, and she seemed way more relaxed and engaged than her 1989 tour where she seemed stiff, self-conscious and like she was performing to the cameras rather than the audience (may have just been because that particular show was being filmed for her tour documentary). Really good show. My girlfriend has bumped reputation non-stop for the last year, and I've grown to appreciate it a lot more through all the repeated listens. I understand why LWYMMD and Ready for It were the lead singles, but they're also pretty much the worst things about the album, and I think it killed most people's enthusiasm for it. But I think she's ended this album cycle on a high note - her tour was great, the album has aged well, Kanye now looks like a far bigger moron than she ever did, and she took the political stand that a lot of people had been waiting for.

People are freaking out thinking that Taylor Swift is counting backwards on Instagram with tomorrow being the deadline.
She's also written an article for Elle: https://www.elle.com/uk/life-and-culture/a26546099/taylor-swift-pop-music/

I hope this is a non-album single.

I watched the 'premiere.' video was ok, missed that wes anderson directed it, didn't seem like it. bizarre color palette - sugar overload/cake flavored ice cream aesthetic? I was with the song until the chorus, more anonymous new muzak. is this for a kids movie?

i like it. also it totally makes sense given she’s in CATS

this is worse than "look what you made me do" which still isn't good but was at least a bit endearing in a "what the hell is she trying to do" way

"Spelling is fun" and you "can't spell awesome without me" is abominable, condescending. Terrible choices. That said, I still kind of like this somehow and it's bound to be a huge inescapable hit in the same vein as Can't Stop The Feeling. Fun and lighthearted works better for her than the dark me vs. the world Taylor.
The overall immediate reaction seems pretty mixed to negative, though. One of the surprising things to me about the initial reaction to this is how much people seemingly ended up coming around on reputation.

I never came around on Reputation -- save a few cuts -- and this song feels even more forced.
