I guess it's good that she's having a 2nd solo hit, but omg how annoying this song is!! I really don't understand what makes a song become a hit or not. I can never listen to this in full.

Taylor chose to work with someone who posts problematic things like thisIsn't this a sarcastic tweet? Joseph Kahn is super against pitbulls and guns and etc. Just check his twitter.

It IS sexist because you would never say that about Drake for example. Plus, Taylor has plenty of songs outside that box you put her into. Go study.

I'd say Kesha is preparing her Grammy moment now. We should see some performances for Woman after that.

I like International Smile. It's cute and fun. This Is How We Do is a joke, but a semi-enjoyable joke. But even though the second half of Prism is often regarded as forgettable and filler (and lord knows I don't disagree), to me, IS and TIHWD are even better examples of filler: They're fun, but they just don't accomplish anything that other tracks on the album don't accomplish better. Certainly with TIHWD, there's so many other cheeky corny songs she had done (it was her damn brand), what was the point of This Is How We Do? It's just a wasted track, when it could've been replaced by something more interesting, more unique. That's how Katy ends up as a singles artist, who bombs if the singles don't hit it big, and Taylor sells albums. It's not about that reputation is "better" than Witness (though it is), it's just that most Taylor tracks (on her pop albums) try to accomplish something different and differentiate from each other than Katy Perry's tend to. (Not like Taylor is immune --- U R In Love and This Love are still samey-snoozefests). Act My Age feels like the most authentic thing to come from the Witness era (plus it's a jam!) -- and it's a damn bonus track. Girl, that song is just the worst. Don't you come for her lyrics and themes when Taylor is writing a song about her reputation again and yet another fairy tale romance with a chorus that goes: Is it cool that I said all that Is it too soon to do this yet? 'Cause I know that it's delicate Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it? Isn't it?Del i cate Those "genius" pen game, smart lyrical themes talking points are no longer a card you have to play. She writes there songs: songs about herself, songs about obsessing over a boy, and songs in which she plays the victim after she's dumped. What u talking about? Delicate's chorus is very well written, both lyrically and melodically.

She's not one of the girls anymore. She has to set herself apart from the industry in order to stay sane. There's no reason she should go to the Grammys, all eyes will be on her and she's clearly not in that mood. She doesn't need to promote her album, it's probably doing exactly how she expected it to, considering the lack of promo and messy rollout. I think she's saving it all to the fans that stick with her, so it seems she's putting all her efforts on the tour.

I hope they don't rush the next single. I think they should wait until End Game is completely out of the top 50 to send a new one out. If she has unreleased songs in the bag, she could try a re-release to sort of start fresh, but I'd go with Don't Blame Me and do a Blank Space video continuation, in the same setting. Save Delicate for later or leave as great album track. Getaway Car can go for country radio but I can't see it working on pop radio.

I hope she comes very experimental and crazy, I don't like to see her cater to radio.

I hate this too. It's such a corny, out-of-date song, it's just beyond why she would record it let alone release it.

Please, Taylor is great music icon, like her or not. She has some great songs, you can't deny it.

Hmm not sure about the song, like the groove but at the same time it's sort of throwawy Prince. That's the first thing I thought, reminds me of Prince. I still don't have an opinion about this, which is usually a good thing.

While I think Delicate is definately a highlight in her career, I'm not sure it would work out as a single. It seems to me Call It What You Want could fare better as a 4th single.

Man, the chorus in this is embarassing.
This era started so promising with Chained. I was glad we were getting a more serious Katy, it was really the right time. Even if the era flopped, I think it woulda been important for a long career. I don't understand why she changed it all up and returned to goofy Katy full-time, but not goofy-fun, she became goofy-annoying. Plus, Witness is doing absolutely nothing for her career, the songs are not good, videos are all trying to hard, I really don't understand this release.

I feel like the album is in great shape to be re-released with a brand new song/single. I'm not sure she'd be up for it but the timing is perfect.

IMO the country single from the album is Getaway Car, I can see they following up with it, if they want to try.

While I think Look was the perfect 1st single, If they had a tie-in for Ready For It with a commercial and they had to release it so close to Look, I think they should have just gone with RFI as a buzz single and held the era a bit. RFI is such a strong, in-your-face song, it was never gonna go unnoticed as Out Of The Woods went. It would explode as a buzz single. Then in the new year release Look and announce reputation. I know they wanted the 4th quarter sales, but I think that would have paid off in the end.

All of the material we've heard from this album has been very safe, boring and just overall crap. She's worked with so many big names and this is all they really could come up with?. That makes no sense. How can anyone say her vocals are "safe" in this song? It makes me wanna hide away. I hate it, but I can't say she's being safe at all. Heck, I don't even think Havana was a safe single.

WTF is this? They can't be serious with this release. I'm waiting for a last minute change.

Are all those views coming from Brazil? I cant imagine us in North America having bad tastes to watch that horrific video and sappy ass song. Cause you guys in North America are known for your good taste.

Overall I think the album is good. It would make a very good 12-track album if some songs became bonus tracks (Gorgeous, King of my Heart, Dancing with Our Hands...). "Don't Blame Me" and "Delicate" are easy highlights, and I still love "Look What You Made Me Do". It's an agressive pop album, I like that she's adressing her reputation issues. Even if it sometimes ends up being too egocentrical, I think it's needed for her career to be able to move past it. I give it a B+, the same I give 1989.

I'm really impressed with this run. I sure thought this would flop massively.

I hope Woman gets released. I prefer it over the other options for sure.

This girl is a terrible singer. I can't get through 30 seconds of any of her songs.
