Taylor Swift performed two songs from her latest album, Reputation, on Saturday Night Live this week. Aside from a performance of "New Year's Day" during Scandal's commercial break, these mark her first performances from her new Reputation era.
Taylor performed "...Ready For It?" complete with choreography:
And an acoustic version of "Call It What You Want":
Twitter, predictably, had thoughts.
When @taylorswift13 is performing I feel like a proud parent watching a daughter I don't remember birthing.

Watching SNL, I see that Taylor Swift's "Testing the Limits of White Privilege Tour" continues unabated

"Is she a singer/songwriter or a rapper? I don't get it." - Jordan after watching Taylor Swift on #SNL.

Taylor Swift reminds me of a girl that watched way too many urban videos and now believes she can do it just like them....she just ends up looking awkward. 😕 #SNL

@taylorswift13 's accustic version of Call It What You Want may be the only thing I'll ever listen to again. 😻😻 #TaylorOnSNL #TaylorSwift #SNL pic.twitter.com/uS5zCJafHM

Watching Taylor Swift attempt to dance to her own music on SNL is one of the most uncomfortable things I've ever seen.

FYI, @taylorswift13’s choreography for Ready For It on SNL is exactly the same as what I’ve been doing for a month in my bedroom #reputation

Taylor Swifts performance last night was exactly the same routine as the girlband I was in briefly in Year 6. We did "lady marmalade" #snl

Taylor is liking Tumblr posts during #SNL because there is "surprisingly good WIFI here for such a tall building!" 😂 pic.twitter.com/GSp8fjVQq2
