Mixed. We'll call the reaction mixed.

"Is she a singer/songwriter or a rapper? I don't get it." - Jordan after watching Taylor Swift on #SNL.November 12, 2017
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. 😕 #SNLNovember 12, 2017

Watching Taylor Swift attempt to dance to her own music on SNL is one of the most uncomfortable things I've ever seen.November 12, 2017
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 #reputationNovember 12, 2017
