Any Taylor Swift die-hard fan would always defend her and ask everyone to wait for the second single before criticizing her music. But upon the release of You Need To Calm Down, which served as the second single of Lover, it seems that this belief has failed the fans.

Apparently, a lot of people, especially the critics, are not really happy with what Taylor is producing right now. This actually started when ME! was dropped on April 26. Based on the opinions and views of many people as per Vox, this new music from Taylor is kind of "bland" and "generic.

Accordingly, this is why the majority of the fans reminded almost everyone to wait for the other tracks, especially the second one. But as it appears, the second single is even worse.

You Need To Calm Down is reportedly a soon-to-be LGBTQ+ anthem. With the lyrics of the song that largely points out pride parades and issues in the community, it will not take anyone that long to figure out that this is a song rendered for the said community.

But while the gesture and thought are nice, it actually sends a confusing message to her fans and to the society, especially to the LGBTQ+ community, as explained by Esquire.

The first part of the song actually tackles Taylor Swift's experiences with online bullies. Even so, she pointed out that they are irrelevant and that "they need to calm down."

Many of the fans and critics see this as a wink to her 1989's Mean, which sends a similar message but with a much lighter and softer tone. But the newly released single tells a different story. As the song progresses, the tone gets different and eventually shifts to issues that pertain to the LGBTQ+ community.

It seemingly appears that Taylor Swift purposedly mixed out her personal issues with the LGBTQ+'s and made it all equal as seen in the lyrics of the song. This, unfortunately, made a lot of critics raise their eyebrows and eventually question the real essence of You Need To Calm Down and her new music as well.

On the other hand, there are still those avid fans who undoubtedly love what Taylor had to offer. And based on Vulture's intensive look on the newly released single, it seemingly appears that many of the Swifties have remained faithful to her and to her songs.

But of course, things will certainly be so much more intense and interesting in the coming weeks. Besides, these are just the first two tracks of Lover, and there are 16 more to come.

Lover is set to arrive on August 23.
