Please refrain from adding, removing or changing genres, as you did to Don't Start Now, without providing a source or establishing a consensus on the article's talk page first. Genre changes to suit your own point of view are considered disruptive. Thank you.  Cool Marc  ✉   06:12, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

But I did source it. Kingswool (talk) 14:15, 12 May 2020 (UTC)
 * , establish consensus on the article's talk page first. There are more than 10 sources that call it a nu-disco song that have been provided on the talk page, your one source calling it pop doesn't warrant its inclusion.  Cool Marc  ✉   14:25, 12 May 2020 (UTC)

The Bones
The comparison to "Shake It Off" is apples to oranges and you know that. That was a pop song that charted from unsolicited airplay on country radio for one week without being released to the format. "The Bones" may be more or less a pop song sonically, but it was recorded and released on a primarily country album, by a primarily country music artist, on a country music label, to country radio. It was promoted to the country radio format for 30+ weeks and was a major #1 hit there. This is not a case of 'well it just happened to chart there somehow briefly.' Its release as a single to country radio (and subsequent success at the format) is no less of a valid source than some reporter on a website referring to the song as explicitly country in some brief write-up.

 * , okay, the "Shake It Off" comparison wasn't good. But another Swift song, "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" is also from a country album, country artist, country label, and was sent to country radio. It also topped the country chart. However, the song's genres on Wikipedia are bubblegum pop, dance-pop and pop rock, which is far from country. This is because the critics labeled the song using those genres. "The Bones" was labeled as pop by Taste of Country. And Taste of Country knows the difference between pop and country. Kingswool (talk) 23:54, 14 May 2020 (UTC)
