Taylor Swift releases new single You Need To Calm Down

Singer-songwriter Taylor Swift needs us to calm down but with the release of her latest single we just can’t! The 29-year-old singer dropped her new single titled You Need To Calm Down from her upcoming studio album Lover.
The artist shared the lyrical video of the song on her official YouTube handle.
The upbeat number was first announced yesterday in an Instagram Live, along with the details of the upcoming album.
In the catchy single, Swift sings against social media haters and internet feuds, while at the same time seemingly throwing a little shade of her own with the lyrics, “Snakes and stones never broke my bones.”
In the catchy song she sings, “You need to calm down / you’re being too loud / and I am just like ooh ooh / you need to just stop / like can you just not step on our gowns?”
In the second verse, she is getting socially conscious in a way that will surprise everyone, singing, “Why are you mad when you could be GLAAD?” she asks, echoing the last phrase for good measure. “Sunshine on the street at the parade / But you would rather be in the dark ages / Makin’ that sign must’ve taken all night.”
