Later, it was revealed an \u201cold-timey, 1940s-sounding instrumental version\u201d of the song played in the background in the scene. On June 13, 2019, Taylor announced on a livestream on <em>Instagram<\/em> that her upcoming album\u2019s second single, entitled \u201cYou Need to Calm Down\u201d, was to be released at midnight on June 14.\n<br><br>\nA lyric video for the song was released together with the song on <em>YouTube<\/em>. The video contained several easter eggs, including changing the word \u201cglad\u201d to GLAAD, and highlighting \u201cEA\u201d letters as a reference to the Equality Act. The references followed Taylor\u2019s donation to GLAAD in support of Pride Month, and her <em>Change.org<\/em> petition for the United States Senate to pass the Equality Act. The petition has attracted more than 500,000 signatures, including from Democrats such as Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, Beto O\u2019Rourke, and Kirsten Gillibrand. Following the release of the song, GLAAD reported an \u201cinflux\u201d of donations in the amount of $13, a reference to Taylor\u2019s favorite number.

In her 2019 <em>Entertainment Weekly<\/em> interview, she candidly mused: \u201cOur priorities can get messed up existing in a society that puts a currency on curating the way people see your life. Social media has given people a way to express their art. I use it to connect with fans. But on the downside you feel like there are 3 trillion new invisible hoops that you have to jump through, and you feel like you\u2019ll never be able to jump through them all correctly. I \u2014 along with a lot of my friends and fans \u2014 am trying to figure out how to navigate living my life and not just curating what I want people to think living my life is. I\u2019m not always able to maintain a balance, and I think that\u2019s important for everyone to know about. We\u2019re always learning, and that\u2019s something that I also had to learn \u2014 that I\u2019ve got to be brave enough to learn. Learning in public is so humiliating sometimes\u2026. Do I feel more balanced in my life than I ever have before? Um, probably yeah. But is that permanent? No. And I think being okay with that has put me in a bit of a better position.\u201d\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b5e8daa elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"b5e8daa\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Music Video<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f1d41c1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f1d41c1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tA music video for the song was released on June 17, 2019 after its official premiere on <em>Good Morning America<\/em>.

Need to Calm Down Single | Lover (2019) \u201cYou Need to Calm Down\u201d is track fourteen and the second single from Taylor\u2019s seventh studio album, Lover\u00a0(2019). It sees her addressing various detractors who post hurtful comments online, following themes of self-love and being true to one\u2019s identity.\u201dYou Need to Calm Down\u201d acts as Taylor\u2019s sassy response to internet trolls that drag her and others. It\u2019s poppy, infectious, and makes a case for positivity. Table of Contents Background and Composition On April 26, 2019, the title of the song was teased in the intro for the music video for \u201cME!\u201d when Brendon Urie shouted the title in French. Later, it was revealed an \u201cold-timey, 1940s-sounding instrumental version\u201d of the song played in the background in the scene. On June 13, 2019, Taylor announced on a livestream on Instagram that her upcoming album\u2019s second single, entitled \u201cYou Need to Calm Down\u201d, was to be released at midnight on June 14. A lyric video for the song was released together with the song on YouTube. The video contained several easter eggs, including changing the word \u201cglad\u201d to GLAAD, and highlighting \u201cEA\u201d letters as a reference to the Equality Act. The references followed Taylor\u2019s donation to GLAAD in support of Pride Month, and her Change.org petition for the United States Senate to pass the Equality Act. The petition has attracted more than 500,000 signatures, including from Democrats such as Cory Booker, Elizabeth Warren, Beto O\u2019Rourke, and Kirsten Gillibrand. Following the release of the song, GLAAD reported an \u201cinflux\u201d of donations in the amount of $13, a reference to Taylor\u2019s favorite number. A vertical video premiered exclusively on Spotify on June 24, 2019. A remix for the song by British electronic music band Clean Bandit was released on August 20, 2019. Lyrical Theme \u201cYou Need to Calm Down\u201d finds Taylor addressing various detractors who post hurtful comments online, following themes of self-love and being true to one\u2019s identity which previously appeared on \u201cME!\u201d from April 2019. In the second verse, Taylor shows her support for the LGBTQ+ community, following a June 2019 letter to Senator Lamar Alexander, as well as a petition she created to fight for legal equality among all people, regardless of sexuality or gender. Taylor told Beats 1: \u00abIt\u2019s about how I\u2019ve observed a lot of different people in our society who just put so much energy and effort into negativity, and it just made me feel like, \u2018You need to just calm down, like you\u2019re stressing yourself out. This seems like it\u2019s more about you than what you\u2019re going off about. Like, just calm down.\u00bb Taylor Swift For context, Taylor has talked a little about the impact social media has had on her. In her 2019 Entertainment Weekly interview, she candidly mused: \u201cOur priorities can get messed up existing in a society that puts a currency on curating the way people see your life. Social media has given people a way to express their art. I use it to connect with fans. But on the downside you feel like there are 3 trillion new invisible hoops that you have to jump through, and you feel like you\u2019ll never be able to jump through them all correctly. I \u2014 along with a lot of my friends and fans \u2014 am trying to figure out how to navigate living my life and not just curating what I want people to think living my life is. I\u2019m not always able to maintain a balance, and I think that\u2019s important for everyone to know about. We\u2019re always learning, and that\u2019s something that I also had to learn \u2014 that I\u2019ve got to be brave enough to learn. Learning in public is so humiliating sometimes\u2026. Do I feel more balanced in my life than I ever have before? Um, probably yeah. But is that permanent? No. And I think being okay with that has put me in a bit of a better position.\u201d Music Video A music video for the song was released on June 17, 2019 after its official premiere on Good Morning America. It features cameos from several LGBTQ+ celebrities, including Hayley Kiyoko, Laverne Cox, the cast of Queer Eye, and Todrick Hall, who co-executive produced the video. At the end of the video, Katy Perry appears in the midst of a food fight, signifying the end of her \u201cfeud\u201d with Taylor. Taylor opened up about their reconciliation: \u00ab[Katy] and I have really been on good terms for a while. She sent me a really nice note and an olive branch \u2014 like an actual olive branch \u2014 to my tour when it started, the \u2018reputation Stadium Tour\u2019, a while ago. From that point on, we\u2019ve been on good terms. We saw each other at a party and walked up to each other and hugged it out and talked about things. Then saw each other again and hung out at another party. It was just like something felt so much lighter about my life when things became really good between us. You know, she and I have been fine for a while and really on good terms but we didn\u2019t know if we were ever gonna really tell people about it. We wanted to make sure that was solid between us before we ever made the public aware.\u00bb Taylor Swift Live Performances Taylor performed the song live for the first time at the Amazon Prime Day Concert on July 10, 2019. On August 22, she performed the song at a Good Morning America concert in New York City\u2019s Central Park. The next day, she sang an acoustic rendition of the song at a SiriusXM Town Hall.
