From Reputation (2017). Reputation is the sixth studio album by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Fender American Professional II Telecaster through a Fender '65 Twin Reverb Reissue, the nearest rig we use for Taylor Swift's other songs, stands in. Set the amp to a light crunch and use the bridge pickup.
Common Questions About the "...Ready for It?" Tone
What guitar did Taylor Swift use on "...Ready for It?"?
The guitar on "...Ready for It?" (released 2017) isn't documented; the Fender American Professional II Telecaster above gets the sound. Pickup selector: bridge pickup on the guitar.

Settings for this sound: Gain 4.5, Bass 5, Mid 6, Treble 6.5, Presence 6, Volume 6.5. Each value is on the standard 0–10 amp scale; match them on your amp first, then nudge to taste. ToneMirror can translate these positions for whatever amp you actually own.
Can I play "...Ready for It?" without the original gear?
Yes. ToneMirror takes the settings above and adapts it to your guitar, amp, and pedals - so you can chase the "...Ready for It?" tone on a Katana, a Helix, a tube combo, or anything else. The translation accounts for EQ curve, gain structure, and pickup type so the result actually sounds like the record, not just the same knob numbers on different gear.
