Early Sunday morning, Taylor Swift took to Twitter to ask a simple question: Are you ready for it?

Apparently, it didn’t matter if the answer to that query was “yes” or “no,” because Swift, only 10 days after releasing “Look What You Made Me Do,” the first single off her new album Reputation, dropped another track Sunday morning.
This one is called “Ready For It,” and it’s an EDM-inspired tune in which Swift seems to embrace her late-night sexuality and the dreams that fulfill it (Marie Claire theorizes that the tune is about her boyfriend, Joe Alwyn).
“Look What You Made Me Do” received a mixed reaction when it was released with people comparing her to Right Said Fred and bashing the lyrics that read, “I’m sorry, but the old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, ’cause she’s dead.”
Unsurprisingly, Twitter also had plenty to say in the immediate aftermath of “Ready For It.”

New Taylor Swift songs sound like they didn’t make the cut for Lorde’s album.
