MATAPOS ihayag ang release date at titulo ng kanyang upcoming album na Lover, inilabas ni Taylor Swift nitong Biyernes ang kanyang second single, na You Need to Calm Down.
‘Tila patama ang kanta sa mean keyboard warriors at nagsilbing Pride anthem—na kasabay sa pagdiriwang ng Pride Month, ulat ng People.
“Say it in the street that’s a knock out/But you say it in a tweet that’s a cop out,” bahagi ng lyrics, napatama sa mga internet trolls. “Snakes and stones never broke my bones.”
“You need to calm down/You’re being too loud/And I’m just like oh oh/You need to just stop/Like can you just not step on my gown/You need to calm down,” patuloy pa ng lyrics.
Sinasapol din ng bagong single ni Taylor ang mga anti-Pride protestors, na tinawag niyang “stuck in the dark ages.”
Nitong Huwebes, ibinahagi ng Love Story hitmaker sa Instagram Live na tampok sa kanyang seventh studio album ang 18 tracks.
“So a lot of people, I saw, had a theory regarding the idea of ‘Calm etc. etc.’ I can confirm that I have a new single coming out tonight at midnight. It’s called ‘You Need to Calm Down.’ I’m so excited for you to hear it,” pagbabahagi ni Taylor, na sinabing sa Hunyo 17 ang premiere ng kanyang music video sa Good Morning America. “The video is very worth the wait. There’s a lot going on in the video; I wanted that to be a separate discovery.”
“This album in tone, it’s very romantic — and not just thematically, like it’s all love songs,” ani Taylor. “I think the idea of something being romantic, it doesn’t have to be a happy song. You can find romance in loneliness or sadness or going through a conflict or dealing with things in your life … It looks at things with a very romantic gaze.”
Nitong Abril, inilabas ni Taylor ang kanyang first single ng Lover, ang Me kung saan n i y a n a k a - d u e t si Brendon Urie.
