Taylor Swift - "Delicate"

[born]

This started off as my second least favorite on the album and it's currently in my top 5 on the album. Such a great, chill song. I want this to be the "Clean" of the tour. I want those top notch, artsy, Tumblr-ish visuals.

[deepston]

I could see this working as a single tbh.

She needs something simple and fresh like this after the singles we've had so far.

What I like about this song is that it's something you'd expect from a song titled "Delicate". Isn't it?

Isn't it isn't it isn't it...

My favourite on the album after ...Ready For It?

Looking at streams in Lastfm to gauge popularity, this song is doing pretty well. It looks like the tracks at the beginning at the album are being played more, probably because a lot of people start playing the album from the beginning and don't make it to the end. So if you adjust for that, looks like the tracks rank like this (not including the tracks on spotify - those that are are getting more plays for obvious reasons)

1. Dancing With Our Hands Tied
2. I Did Something Bad
3. Getaway Car
4. Don't Blame Me
5. Delicate
6. This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
7. New Year's Day
8. Dress
9. King Of My Heart
10. End Game
11. So It Goes...
(I just did this by plotting a line of best fit through a plot of track number vs play count and seeing which track was highest above/below the line of best fit)

Unadjusted ranking, just going by total play count
1. I Did Something Bad
2. Don't Blame Me
3. End Game
4. Delicate
5. Getaway Car
6. Dancing With Our Hands Tied
7. King Of My Heart
8. So It Goes...
9. Dress
10. This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
11. New Year's Day

[deepston]

I'm probably inflating those statistics since I have 755 scrobbles from the album jk  
1. Dancing With Our Hands Tied
2. Getaway Car
3. Don't Blame Me
4. So It Goes
5. End Game
6. Delicate
Those are my most listened songs from the album excluding the ones released before the album.

I believe this will be a single after End Game.

[Bwol]

My 3rd most listened and 3rd most favorite off of the album behind Getaway Car and End Game. I’m still shook from the bridge. PerfectION. I think that this is the second BEST song on the album, because the...everything lol but End Game gets my spins more lol.

[Dammn Baby]

So lush and lovely in its softness and the CRJ comparisons are apt - a terrific antidote to the relentless staccato of the rest of the album. Coincidentally, it's practically the only song on the album where she doesn't sound like a vapid, self-entitled, narcissistic brat. And it's the only track I'll ever revisit. The rest was swiftly delivered to the trash bin.

Ugh  :'(

This should be a single after End Game, to clear away all this polarizing mess and bring a cute track to the mix. Pls Taylor!

[Choco]

I like this a lot. It sounds straight out of 1989, which is a huge compliment.

[YourFaveIsAFlop]

This is one of the few tracks where I don't feel like she's faking it

[nickd]

Rob Sheffield from Rolling Stone seems to like it.

[Duca]

I still adore this. Needs to be a spring/summer single.

Strange. Hope it's the next single after "End Game", though.

What the hell is going on with this era?!

1. Look What You Made Me Do

~Gorgeous (potential next single!)
2. ...Ready for It? (j/k we're going with this)
~Call It What You Want
3. Gorgeous (UK only, tho, guys)
4. New Year's Day (country only, tho, guys)
~End Game (no one dares confirm this, tho)
~Delicate

[NeRD]

Lol at this added to TTH.

It's obvious this is what radio and the GP wants from her. I just hope they give End Game a chance beforehand.

[g8erboi]

This is the clear highlight from the album.

[dbhmr]

Yep, this is really great. Love it.

[deepston]

Obvious single after End Game.
It's really funny that Taylor is having little control over her singles lol From RFI onwards they were all chosen by the radio and I think this one won't be any different.

[Elusive Chanteuse]

Good choice. I was concerned they’d go with I Did Something Bad. This is the best track off Reputation. However, I have to say that I do think there going forward a little too quickly. By the time it finally start its run on radio, it could be removed from the playlist. We’ve seen that happen to many songs, and I think it’d have been more wise to save it for a bit so streaming and airplay can correlate better for a higher peak on the charts. But again, that’s just me.

[NeRD]

Meh, a number of stations played Style from the time the album was released until it was officially announced as the third single and it still went #1 on Pop. If the demand is there, this won't have a problem even if it's not released until the spring.

[deepston]

This song is shaping up to be the 'Style' of the album. A chill song that is adored by the critics, hope this can do as well as 'Style' after 'End Game'.

[Deleted]

Yep. This is pop girl gold.

[Caviar]

Yeah. I'd say this is on par with "Style".

[Choco]

I've been revisiting this one recently and it does sound like a potential single. It's a nice change from the first three singles. (And it does reminds me of Style which is the highest compliment I can give a TS song).

[cause_for_celebration]

This song is so perfect

[Kurt]

Impacts March 13. The right choice imo!

[franklin]

Yasssss

[dbhmr]

No idea what to expect from this chart-wise but this was the right call--best song on the album.
