I don’t know why the video isn’t showing up like it does for others when they post, but here’s the link!

It didn’t make a difference. It’s alright. I was just hoping to put the video there is all.

Thanks for posting the video! Loved it! Love the song even more. Yes, its simple and not doing a whole lot of challenging musically. But I don't think that is the point. And I love that she and Katy "pair"! And here is proof that a video can in fact affect the progress of a song. TS does not consider her videos to be just filler. And this video is going to live for a long time. Money very well spent I would say.

I can tolerate the song better after the video...But yeah, she's now releasing children's music.

For me the song is sooo calculated that it takes away from me actually like the song. I'm sure I'll like it more as time passes but right now its detracting away from a rather harmless song. It is interesting that she released two songs so similar in sound. Hopefully the next promotional song will be a more mature sound.
The video was well put together. I detested the whole Katy vs. Taylor on both sides, but I thought the pair was cute together and really worked. My one criticism is a bunch of the people in the video are famous for throwing shade. I loved seeing all the "female" artists in the video standing together I think it fit the line perfectly and at the same time fit the message of the song.

Yes, but hasn't she always? Maybe it's more obvious now that she is a 30 year old woman. But it's always been kid's pop!

Cute video. Nicely done and imo, helps people connect with the song more. This single might smash thanks to the video and how she is vocal with her LGBTQ support.
Personally, if not because of the video, the song itself burns out on me quickly. Even quicker than "Me!". Best description I have read about the lyrics is that it feels like a mom trying to look cool and hip to younger generation. Cringy and a little embarassing coming from a 30 year old woman.
That said, it's two singles in a row now that I am left wanting more from her. Actually..... since 1989, aside from Delicate or maybe Gorgeous, her songs have been disappointing.
Still waiting for quality writing to appear.

Reputation is what made me become a recent fan and so when she announced this new album I got excited! So far I really enjoy You Need To Calm Down. But I’m still left wanting more and I hope the rest of the album doesn’t disappoint

I think Taylor also doesn't want to constantly feel like she has to outdo herself which is why she stopped caring about how well her songs are crafted lyrically. She just wanted to make songs that resonate with people. I'm pretty sure she is aware of how her current lyrics compare to her previous material.
That being said, she has mentioned in recent interviews that this is more of a singer-songwriter album. Both "Me!" And "You Need to Calm Down" do not demonstrate that. So maybe she's keeping that material for when the album is released.

She has never been this bad I don't think. I mean the chorus is basically just ooooooooh

Is anyone following her on the charts?
I know her songs are always garnered #1's but I am just curious how they are resonating.

Boy, that was quick!
Is BiB Top 100 based on spins? Or is it a fuller view of the songs impact (streams/downloads/spinis)

"ME!" has been a 'flop' by her standard. It did stay in the Top 10 for a month after peaking at No 2. "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together", "Shake It Off", and "Look What You Made Me Do" were all multi-week blockbuster No 1 smashes, so people are clearly not resonating with it. "Mine" peaked at No 3 but at that time, she was still country and the song leaked and was released midweek, just like "Love Story" (No 4).
"You Need To Calm Down" has been better received. "...Ready For It" (No 4), "Blank Space" (No 1 during album release week), "Begin Again" (Top 10, but country-only)/"I Knew You Were Trouble." (No 2), "Back To December" (Top 10), "You Belong With Me" (No 2) showed that YNTCD is doing on par with her previous second singles. But it's very, very early to tell, especially with Pride being this month and all, inflating its impact.
The album will still sell well right out of the gate, but she clearly has lost her power to debut No 1 with her singles after the last era. She has always been an album artist however, and whilst both "Mine" and LWTMMD were underperformers, their parent albums still shifted more than a million copies. I think the biggest obstacle for her to extend her million-opening streak right now is the overall climate, since everyone is selling very poorly, and "ME!" also did much less than what LWYMMD did. She also doesn't have groundbreaking streams to push her over the million mark with SPS. I think for now we're still looking at comfortably above half a million units, but I think it will be more like 800k. It's so difficult to tell with the sales market collapsing the rate it has.
