Taylor Swift‘s “Look What You Made Me Do” dominated the charts and the conversation in the music world last week, but its reign is now being threatened… by another Taylor Swift song.
Early Sunday morning, Swift released the next single off her upcoming “Reputation” album titled, “…Ready For It?”, and the song has quickly soared to the No. 2 spot on the iTunes download charts and given the pop star the top two spots on the list. The two songs topped Logic’s “1-800-273-8255” and the big hit of the summer, Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee’s “Despacito.”
“…Ready For It?” was first teased on Saturday, as a snippet from the song was used on ESPN to introduce the Alabama/Florida State football game. The song takes a darker turn than much of Swift’s past work and describes the start of a new relationship.
“Knew he was a killer/ First time that I saw him,” read the lyrics. “Wondered how many girls/ he had loved and left haunted…Younger than my exes/ But he act like such a man, so/ I see nothing better/ I keep him forever/ Like a vendetta…”
Swift‘s “Reputation” will be released Nov. 10. Check out fans’ reaction to the new single below.
