Taylor Swift Just Dropped a Brand New Song Called 'Ready for It'
Well, well, Taylor Swift sure has been busy today. First, the pop singer made a “very sizable donation” to the Houston Food Bank to help with Hurricane Harvey relief. Then she made a rare public appearance in Martha’s Vineyard to serve as a bridesmaid for her high school best friend Abigail Anderson. And now, she just dropped the first minute of a brand new song, titled “Ready for It.” What a benevolent queen.
According to Just Jared, the snippet played during the pre-show intro of the college football game between Alabama and Florida State. Details about when the full song will be released and available for download aren’t available yet, but that one-minute clip has made its way online for your previewing pleasure.
Ready for it? (Hah, get it?) OK, enough dad jokes; listen here:
I’ll go ahead and say it: As much fun as I had deciphering the music video for “Look What You Made Me Do,” I’m already feeling “Ready for It” way more. “LWYMMD” pushed Taylor’s image and sound, yes, but we wanted a banger!
But now on to the important stuff: guessing who this song is about. According to Genuis, these are the lyrics. Let’s look for clues:
[Post-Chorus] Are you ready for it? So baby let the games begin The
games begin The games begin (Are you ready for it?) So baby let the
games begin The games begin The games begin (Are you ready for it?)
Are you ready for it?[Bridge] Oh! I-I-I see how this is gonna go Touch me and you’ll never
be alone I-Island breeze, lights down low No one has to know[Chorus] In the middle of the night In my dreams You should see the
things we do, baby (We do, baby) In the middle of the night In my
dreams (My dreams) I know I’m gonna be with you So I’ll take my time
In the middle of the night[Post-Chorus] So baby let the good things begin The good things begin
The good things begin (Are you ready for it?) So baby let the good
things begin The good things begin The good things begin (Are you
ready for it?)
Some might guess Calvin Harris. Some may say Tom Hiddleston. But my money’s on her new boyfriend, Joe Alwyn, because it’s referencing “good things” beginning (not ending)—and, if the rumors are true, this new “thing” with Joe is very good indeed.
