Swift performs it in the key of C major in a vocal range span from G to A. Musically, the track has been described as a `` electro - pop love song ''. The singer used a vocoder to create an `` emotional '' and `` vulnerable '' sound for the track. She explains that the song is about `` what happens when you meet somebody that you really want in your life and then you start worrying about what they 've heard before they met you. '' Swift went on to call the song `` the first point of vulnerability in the record '' Music video The video was filmed at the Millennium Biltmore Hotel ( above ) and the 7th Street / Metro Center station. ( below ) The music video for `` Delicate '' premiered on March 11, 2018 at the 2018 iHeartRadio Music Awards after Swift accepted her award for `` Female Artist of the Year ''. Directed by Joseph Kahn, it was shot in various locations around Los Angeles including the Millennium Biltmore Hotel, the 7th Street / Metro Center station, the Los Angeles Theater and adjacent St. Vincent 's Court, and the Golden Gopher bar. It features Swift discovering that she is invisible after a mystery man hands her a note, and is a satire and symbolic of Taylor being herself for the first time, and not caring about how others view her. The video gained almost 13 million views in the first 24 hours of release. As of May 2018, the music video has gained over 170 million views on YouTube. Synopsis Swift is seen looking vacant on the red carpet, snapping to attention as hordes of reporters shove microphones at her. A mysterious figure slips a piece of paper into her hands. In a hotel lobby, people turn and stare as she walks by surrounded by four bodyguards. As she tries to take a photo with fans, a bellhop tries to grab her and security drag him away. Swift rolls her eyes and continues to walk with her security team, testing how they mimic her every move. In a dressing room she makes silly faces in the mirror before being interrupted by a group of women : turning back to the mirror, the piece of paper glows on the counter and she ca n't see her reflection anymore. Delighted to have freedom, she breaks out into joyful dance all over the hotel, although she gets sad when she realizes she can not engage in close conversation with a stranger. Swift moves from the hotel into the Los Angeles subway and onto rain - drenched streets. Soaked but happy, she arrives at the dive bar she references in the song, opening the glowing note, seemingly removing her invisibility as she is choosing to reveal herself to some. People turn to look as she comes in, drenched, and she realizes she is no longer invisible - but she smiles as she seems to recognize someone there. Vertical video On March 30, 2018, Swift uploaded an alternate video exclusively to Spotify which was made available for users in the US, UK, Sweden, and Latin America. The video was filmed in one take in a vertical format. It features Swift walking in the woods while singing and also referencing her relationship with Joe Alwyn by `` clutching her necklace with a J on the pendant ''. The video was later released on YouTube on May 16. To date the video has over two million views. Critical reception Geoff Nelson of Consequence of Sound coined the track as one of Reputation 's strongest moments, along with `` Gorgeous '' and `` Call It What You Want ''. Zach Schonfeld of Newsweek called it as `` the album 's first real moment of vulnerability '', and it succeeds by `` peeling back all the bravado and EDM aggression of the opening tracks ''. In another positive review, Roisin O'Connor of The Independent stated that `` Taylor Swift produced some of her most honest and direct songwriting to date '', and `` '' Delicate '' was one of the best examples of that ``. Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone named it the best song of 2017, and was also included in Vanity Fair 's The 17 Best Pop Songs of 2017, stating that `` even at her most publicly beset, Taylor Swift possesses a secret weapon that separates her from the competition : truly unimpeachable songcraft ''. Acoustic version The track was re-recorded at The Tracking Room in Nashville for Taylor 's installment of the Spotify Singles series. The acoustic version was released on April 13th exclusively on Spotify along with Swift 's cover of Earth, Wind & Fire 's song `` September ''. Remix A remix for the song featuring American musicians Ryan Tedder and Sawyr was released on May 25, 2018. The remix was well received by critics with some stating it better than the original.
