The pre-chorus had me completely shook and I was getting my life to this so badly. I listened to it on repeat for 8 hours with no break and played it over 250 times on the day of release 😂😍 It quickly became my most streamed song of all time <3 Then the video had me completely shook, I was coming back from reading when it premiered so I was exhausted but when I watched the video properly I was completely taken aback. The video is visually incredible and one of my favourite videos of all time and every Look Taylor served was instantly iconic, especially the Taylor Mountain . I'm so glad Taylor finally managed to get a UK #1 with this anthem and I think it did pretty well for the lead single (tho it's frontloadedness is made to look a lot worse by the debacle of a mess of releases that came after it in the following months), yh it didn't reach Taylor's high standards but it certainly got hype going and I def think it would've been seen as a much better success had they got the 2nd single right! Also the video was snubbed so badly at VMA's Anyway despite me adoring and being obsessed with the single version, I actually prefer the tour version (which I've posted below) and would have loved that to be the single version! (Without the intro bit so the last 4:10 seconds of the video as the single version + ofc with Taylor speaking the dead part over the instrumental and without the ringing/Tiffany tour version). The instrumental goes off SO badly (the karma verse . the final chorus . all the choruses in general .) and I feel the song would've gotten a better critical reputation had this version been released as the single!! This was the highlight of the Rep tour for me and it explodes live on stage ❤️❤️ Tell me what you guys think of the tour version? ❤️ M2Abtx7IWOw 🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍🐍

That tour version goes OFF as well . it kinda makes me even more sad I didn't go to the rep tour though
