I like this. pleasant and a bit basic, but this can be a nice radio single after the polarizing lwymmd.
well, or at least to buy time until the album release when everyone can make judgement for themselves which of the songs in reputation will they take straight to top 10 on release.

I like the production of it but I think this is the weakest of the 3 songs so far.

This song is just so bland, makes Look sound like a masterpiece.

I mean I'm going to have it on repeat for the next week and it makes me so happy and dreamy but NO. It's weak. Something an amateur would do. I love the verses but the chorus is too fluffy and cute for me. However, I love the production on the bridge. It's great.

The chorus is a little underwhelming but I love the verses cause that's how I typically act when someone I like is around me. I get zero 2nd single vibes from it though. I'm a little worried about the album now because outside of the final chorus of RFI nothing has blown me away thus far and even that was completely predictable because she's done it a million times already.

This song is just so meh, the skippable song of any album. This wouldn't find a place in Red and 1989, every song from those albums is 100x better. I'm getting really annoyed with the quality drop in this album, so far this sounds like a huge drop in quality from Red and 1989.

Kanye did it better on "Gorgeous" on MBDTF; available on Spotify, iTunes, and your local retail locations.

It's kinda cute! Verses, chorus and pre-chorus are all fine. The production is really light and summery.
The bridge is HEINOUS and the lyrics are awful in certain places, knocks it down a few letter grades.

This isn’t have as bad as everyone is making it out to be, besides there’s no confirmation that it’s the second single. Give her a break!

I think this is the last promo song and we get single #2 on November 3rd. That's great. We'll still have 11 new songs to listen to. That's as many as we had on '1989' before it dropped (excluding the deluxe edition bonus tracks). This isn’t have as bad as everyone is making it out to be, besides there’s no confirmation that it’s the second single. Give her a break! You think I should give a two-time Grammy Album of the Year recipient a break because she released a mediocre-at best-song? Goodbye sheep. Where is this track that the stans were lauding around on Twitter and Tumblr?! Oh yeah it's in their biased minds where all other forms of delusion reside.

My thing is, why would they give this song a lyric video, like the LEAD SINGLE, but not Ready for It?
That worries me..

I really like this song a lot..... come on.... haven't you ever been at a club your big crush is there and you're too scared to go talk to them?

I don't think this would be the song going through my head in that scenario. Brandy did it better on Sittin' Up In My Room. Go listen to that classic about being extremely coy around your crush.

If this isn't the best example of stan reviews equating to complete delusion, I don't know what is. Seriously, I read those tweets yesterday and was expecting to hear the ULTIMATE pop song of 2017... which this isn't. At all. At. All.
I hope this isn't the next single, because this isn't a single. This isn't even a strong album cut. Ick!

Hmm, I like this. The chorus isn't the greatest but the rest of of it is good. It's not the chorus is awful. Just the line "your gorgeous' over and over again is a little cheesy. She's usually a little more clever than that.
Is she collaborating with different people this era or giving them more freedom?

The choruses continue to be the best part of these songs (though I do actually love ...RFI?).
I dunno. Didn't feel much of anything from it, but this definitely seems like an album track and less of a single in hindsight.

They really should have waited on releasing RFI. I feel like if they released it now as a fresh new track and second official single, everybody would be on board.

I really wish the chorus was stronger. It's dragging down the rest which has some strong lyrics. The whole "cuz look at your face" is just weak. her chorus on all 3 songs so far is the worse part

Well it's already #1 on iTunes, giving credence to BMAC's "shitting on a back beat" theorem.

#1 iTunes. I'm happy for her considering this is a promo single. Still not feeling this song.

SO. On my way to work earlier this morning, my station talked about Taylor having a new song and played just the chorus. Afterwards, the host giggled and then said "well, I don't know. I guess it's cute...maybe?" I guess it's safe to say my station won't be playing it. Or at least during her slots at the station. They really should have waited on releasing RFI. I feel like if they released it now as a fresh new track and second official single, everybody would be on board. I completely agree.

Basic.
Lyrics are terrible, production is bland; there is nothing memorable about this.
This is borderline cringeworthy awful.
I thought "Look What You Made Me Do" was cringeworthy, but it had more redeeming qualities than this, while "...Ready for It?" was just forgettable.

I am not sure, but I don't think DJ's get to make the call on what songs are played on their station (for the most part).

On-air DJs are given already curated playlists by a music department. DJs are there to talk, music departments are there to handle playlisting (among other things).

“I guess I’ll just go home to my cats”
"you should think about the consequence of you touching my hand in a darkened room, dark room"
Oh yeah lyrics that cut through glass.
