Talk:You Need to Calm Down

Is this real?
The subject of this article may not be real. The sources do not seem to talk about the subject and the song has not been confirmed… Billiekhalidfan (talk) 18:04, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

Never mind, it was confirmed. Billiekhalidfan (talk) 21:42, 13 June 2019 (UTC)

LGBT rights
After analyzing the lyrics and reading a few articles, it's highly possible this song is about homophobia and LGBT rights.

Yes, that is mentioned in the first paragraph says "Swift addresses her haters and homophones in the song." Also, don’t forget to sign your comments. Billiekhalidfan (talk) 20:20, 14 June 2019 (UTC)

Radio release
Ok I swear that this song was listed as being serviced to pop radio on June 18 on AllAccess when I added that bit. It was pulled before anyone could add it to the web archives. Maybe this will only be a promotional single now and be replaced by something else as the second single?—NØ 20:58, 14 June 2019 (UTC)


 * A source is needed to call the song a promotional single. Chase (talk &#124; contributions) 21:48, 14 June 2019 (UTC)
 * Agreed. The wording used in the article should be "single" unless otherwise announced. For context, this section was only created to declare that it was listed on AllAccess, since this looks confusing after the song was withdrawn from radio adds.—NØ 22:41, 14 June 2019 (UTC)


 * It is a single. Swift stated it served as the album's second single and as many sources also say. Billiekhalidfan (talk) 17:33, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

I know this is just a personal experience, but I heard the song on my local radio station today, so it was sent to some radio stations. Billiekhalidfan (talk) 15:08, 18 June 2019 (UTC)

Track listing
Is it really necessary to include a track listing for one song? The length is already in the info box and it really doesn’t add to the article because it is redundant. Billiekhalidfan (talk) 16:37, 15 June 2019 (UTC)

Edit war
There appears to be an ongoing edit war involving this sentence in the "commercial performance" section: "In its second week on the chart, "You Need to Calm Down" fell eleven positions to number 13 on the Hot 100, holding that spot in its third week." We should reach a consensus about whether or not this sentence belongs. I don't see a problem with it, so I think it should stay. Pinging if you have any thoughts.

 * Just pitching in to state that I support to keep it in the article. It’s factual information and there’s really no other justification for removing it than fancruft.—NØ 17:29, 16 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Edit: No comment now that it has been exposed as a sock addition.—NØ 01:50, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
 * Retracting support per above reason. Shuipzv3 (talk) 02:51, 18 July 2019 (UTC)
