I think that's the most "by-the-numbers Taylor Swift" song She's ever made, and it just falls flat because of it. It's not lyrically good enough to be mentioned alongside Her best-written works, not emotional enough to be mentioned alongside Her most emotional tracks, and its production is kinda generic and unnoteworthy.
It's just... A nice lil Taylor Swift single. I feel like there's nothing special about it.
