"Delicate" is a song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, appearing on her sixth studio album, ''Reputation'' (2017). It was written by Swift and its producers, Max Martin and Shellback. Swift described "Delicate" as one of the songs about vulnerability on ''Reputation'', contrary to the album's recurring themes of vengeance and feigned disinterest in her perceived image.

To create a sound accompanying the vulnerable sentiment, Martin and Shellback manipulated Swift's vocals with a vocoder.
