Taylor Swift Delivers Huge First 'Reputation' Live Performances on SNL
You need to see these...
Taylor Swift may have kicked off her reputation era in August but the star has been relatively quiet since then. She released the record-breaking 'Look What You Made Me Do' video and some excellent teaser tracks but she avoided live performances.
That is until now. The 'Blank Space' hitmaker just gave two huge Saturday Night Live performances.
Wonder how many girls he had loved and left haunted
But if he's a ghost, then I can be a phantom
Holdin' him for ransom
Some, some boys are tryin' too hard
He don't try at all, though
Younger than my exes but he act like such a man, so
I see nothing better, I keep him forever
Like a vendetta-ta
I-I-I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you
So I take my time
Are you ready for it?
Me, I was a robber first time that he saw me
Stealing hearts and running off and never saying sorry
But if I'm a thief, then he can join the heist
And we'll move to an island-and
And he can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor
Every lover known in comparison is a failure
I forget their names now, I'm so very tame now
Never be the same now, now
I-I-I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know
(No one has to know)
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby
In the middle of the night in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you
So I take my time
Are you ready for it?
Ooh, are you ready for it?
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
I-I-I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you
So I take my time
In the middle of the night
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
Are you ready for it?
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
Are you ready for it?
IT IS OFFICIAL. TAYLOR SWIFT IS FINALLY BACK AND PERFORMING LIVE ON TELEVISION.
The 'I Knew You Were Trouble' star first sang her brand new single '...Ready for It?' backed by four backing vocalists/dancers. Dressed all in black, serving choreography, it was easily one of the most adventurous performances of Taylor's career.
We weren't ready for it at all. It's so good to see Taylor back on stage exactly where she belongs.

Taylor also performed reputation's instant grat, 'Call It What You Want', on the beloved show.
Returning to her singer-songwriter roots, the 'We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together' delivered a stunning live rendition of the mid-tempo ballad sat on a stall. It's one of the more emotional cuts on reputation and it was great to hear it live.
As much as we love to see Taylor perform, it's always enchanting to simply hear her sing.

With a Capital' Jingle Bell Ball performance lined up, Taylor isn't going anywhere.
We cannot wait to see what she does next, as the reputation era finally unfolds.
