The song was the lead single for Taylor's 11th studio album The Tortured Poets Department, which has been at number one on the Billboard 200 for 13 weeks.

Taylor also had nods for Best Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Visual Effects and Best Art Direction; she has 10 nominations in total, the most of any artist.
