Critical reception
Rob Sheffield of Rolling Stone ranked "New Romantics" as the 2nd best song of 2014, stating "I have no idea why she left a song this urgent and glittery and perfect off her album (it's a bonus track), but geniuses are weird".[7]

A music video for New Romantics was officially released on April 6 as an Apple Music exclusive, and was made available on Swift's Vevo and YouTube channels on April 13, 2016.[8][9] The video contains various clips of performances and behind-the-scenes taken from The 1989 World Tour.
