“Delicate” is a raw, emotional track that tells a story of the very beginning of a relationship.

The media doesn’t get much attention in this song but she does speak about her reputation and trying to handle the beginning stages of this relationship in a delicate way.

“My reputation’s never been worse so, you must like me for me,” she sings in the pre-chorus, which is one of the best lyrics on reputation. While others may think poorly of her, this guy loves her no matter what. He sees the best in her when everyone else would rather judge.

She reminds us that she’s human just like us and sometimes she’s nervous, shy, and uncertain about situations in her life. “Delicate” is a beautiful masterpiece all on its own and Swift has done a perfectly good job displaying real moments of vulnerability throughout the song.
