I also just don't think this song stands out enough. It never really has, which is why I think they should have stopped after Out of the Woods. It's a fun middle of the road pop song, but that's not enough to be the smash hit everyone here wants it to be.

I feel this is all a little more planned out. For now, the 'hot 100' masses will catch on to this song in time, like 'Style'.

Wow this has to be the first negative update of "New Romantics". I hate the fact that it's slowing down on both radio and sales. She could just drop the music video last Friday.. I hope she's going for a premiere at the iHeartRadio Music Awards. If she isn't dropping a video at all then RIP.
Looks like she doesn't really care but if that's true, why bother releasing a 7th single?

Also, lack of streaming is hurting this, a lot.
Girl must get out of that "I hate Spotify" limbo pronto

To continue pushing album sales through her tour I'd suspect. Though at this point, I wouldn't think a minor hit would push album sales that much since almost 6 million people already own it.

I have a feeling Taylor pushed for this to be released as a single since it's one of her favourites, but like... why bother if she's not going to promote it or release it to Apple Music? Or release a video? Just seems like a pointless release and an unnecessary mar to her chart history.

I simply don't like this song, my less fave single with Bad Blood.
Taylor used to have only two hit songs every album, so this albums was a full pop transition and she went way further on the singles, but momentum is gone.
She should work (calmy) in her next album. 1989 did amazing and there will be tons of buzz for her comeback. And if she doesn't want to stay out of the focus for too long, she has plenty of singer friends (Ed Sheeran, Sam Smith) who will be working in their next albums, so a collaborations always work well for keeping you in the spotlight (specially if you collaboration is with another A lister

She filmed a music video for this, right? Or did that not happen?

Taylor kinda should lay low for once now tbh So many songs are attaining high positions on the charts that it might have a chance to flush her out. But honestly, she surely isn't doing that just yet, maybe by summer she'll lay low and work on a new album. Then again, I have this feeling that she's just not going to leave the spotlight at all for a long time still.

How is she already not "laying low"? Her last appearance was the Grammys almost two months ago, and before that it was the VMAs.
I think the amount of paparazzi/tabloid attention she gets makes it seem like she's everywhere, but she's been more under the radar than most of her contemporaries lately.

Most of her contemporaries get 7 singles out of 3 albums instead of 1 though lol. That alone is enough for her to not be laying off at all. She might not be doing excessive promotion right now but her brand (whatever that includes) has been literally everywhere since 2014 so yeah, she's not exactly being missed or dropped off the face of the earth.

Well, they don't get the same amount of singles 1989 is getting because the singles don't do well enough or give enough return on investment as Taylor's singles have been giving.
Fair enough if people think her having 7 singles over 18-19 months is excessive, that's understandable (although I don't quite agree). My point was that she's not actively pushing herself onto every media platform to continue this campaign. The nature of the "Taylor Swift Brand" is such that she will get mounds of attention for any minute thing she does, and this will continue even when this album campaign has completed its run. She's doing what she can by severely limiting her promotional spots, but that's pretty much all she can do.
I think the only reason she/her label released this is as a single was to please the fan base that was clamoring for it, and to give them one last hurrah before she goes on a break. I fully believe she's not going to release another album until sometime in 2017.

One of my acquaintances is a friend of Taylor's and she told me she's been back in the studio recording. That could be for a number of possible projects but I'm fully expecting a new album at the end of the year. I can't see Taylor just stopping at the peak of her career and taking an extended break. I think she loves music and touring too much to do that.
