It’s either you’ll “love her” or hate her, according to several reports these days about Taylor Swift. And this kind of headlines have become so much apparent after the release of her latest single, You Need To Calm Down.
As it happens, a lot of people had a lot to say about her new music. Some are excited for more, but some are annoyed. And as for others, it seems that they consider Taylor as an irrelevant factor in today’s happenings. Even so, this only goes to show that the ME! Artist, along with her upcoming album, Lover, is making a huge noise in the industry.
The commotion about her and her music started before the release of ME!. Through a series of Easter eggs and tiers of clues, Taylor Swift spearheaded her own hunting game for the sole benefit of her upcoming album.
As per reports and critics, there is nothing wrong about this kind of publicity stunt and advertising technique. Besides, it works for her almost all the time.
But things and times have changed. And this is quite obvious when ME! Was not able to reach the top spot of the Billboard chart, which is a new thing for Taylor Swift.
Although the hopes for You Need To Calm Down have become so much more serious in becoming the hottest among all, it seemingly appears that these are not enough. In the end, Taylor failed again to grab the top spot on the charts.
Aside from being placed again at number 2, the reports and allegations about her are becoming more serious and unpleasant. This is because many believe that Taylor is just using the LGBTQ community for the sake of her new album’s popularity and sales. Will Young shared in an interview with Metro UK that he does not “buy” it – as a gay man.
If anyone would recall, You Need To Calm Down is Taylor’s way of calling out all the “homophobic.” This is also the avenue that she utilized the celebrate Pride. And while the fans have truly loved it, others, however, perceived it as a means of capitalization in the community.
From all of these allegations and unpleasant reports, no word has heard from Taylor Swift yet. But Billboard contends that Taylor remains to be calm amid all the drama as she posted a new selfie photo with a caption that says so.
Also, it seemingly appears that she is not that affected from all the critics that she has been receiving these days considering that she just continues to create music and appear on stage to perform and headline events.
