Taylor Swift dances atop hotel reception, in a subway, in the rain!

When Taylor Swift's latest album Reputation was released, the track 'Delicate' was assumed to be a tribute to her rumoured new boyfriend actor Joe Alwyn. Because of on the nose lyrics.
Therefore when during the iHeartRadio Music Awards on Monday (IST) she released the video for the track, these speculations only gained more ground.
The track showed off her goofy side and admiration for the beau.

In the video for 'Delicate,' Taylor Swift covers many famous landmarks in Downtown Los Angeles. Golden Gopher bar, the Los Angeles Theatre and Millennium Biltmore Hotel among others.
At the beginning of the video we see her do red carpet interviews and followed by fans, some of whom cross the line to hug her. The lyrics for song go,
This ain't for the best
My reputation's never been worse,
So You must like me for me
This has been interpreted as an homage to the beginning of Swift's relationship with Alwyn.
Swift is then handed a magical note which makes her invisible to everyone around her. The 'Blank Space' singer then indulges in quirky dance moves that include marching atop hotel reception, waltzing into a subway station, splashing in the rain, basically shaking it off everywhere!
Bearing resemblance to the coffee run scene in Edgar Wright's movie Baby Driver, Swift's track also shows graffiti on storefronts. For example, 'Track 5,' 'Reputation,' 'Echoes of your footsteps,' 'It's delicate.' One particular shot of a Joe's Deli looks like a quick nod to Alwyn. The common thread of all the videos in Reputation, the snake, is also present in the form of a ring on her finger.
Watch the video
Fans were quick to react.
