You Need To Calm Down
Taylor SwiftYou are somebody that I don't
But you're shots at me like it's Patrón
And I'm just like, "Damn!
It's 7 AM"
Say it in the , that's a knock-out
But you say it in a , that's a cop-out
And I'm just like, "Hey!
Are you OK?"
And I ain't tryna with your self-expression
But I've the lesson
That stressing and
'Bout somebody else is no
And snakes and never broke my bones
So, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh!
You need to calm
You're being too
And I'm just like
"Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh!
You need to just stop
Like, can you just not step on my gown?
You need to calm down"
You are somebody that we don't know
But you're coming at my like a missile
Why are you
When you could be GLAAD?
(You could be GLAAD)
Sunshine on the street at the
But you would rather be in the dark
Just making that
Must've taken all
You just need to take several
And then try to restore the
And control your to scream
About all the people you
'Cause made anybody less gay
So, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh!
You need to calm down
You're being too loud
And I'm just like
"Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh!
You need to just stop
Like, can you just not step on his gown
You need to calm down"
And we see you over there on the Internet
Comparing all the girls who are killing it
But we figured you out
We all know now
We all got
You need to calm down
So, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh!
You need to calm down
(You need to calm down)
You're being too loud
(You're being too loud)
And I'm just like
"Oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh, oh oh!
You need to just stop
(Can you stop?)
Like, can you just not step on our gowns
You need to calm down"
In a Spotify storyline, Swift explained:
"I wrote this song about the energy and effort that some people put into spreading negativity. With all of the trolling, cancel culture, telling people how to live their lives or pitting women against each other... you're being too loud. This is a song where I'm saying, 'You need to calm down. Go outside. It's the summer.'"
The video contained several easter eggs, including changing the word "glad" to GLAAD, and highlighting "EA" letters as a reference to the Equality

A long elegant dress worn on formal occasions
When someone is doin' too much (or trying to hard) and just need to sit down somewhere and be quiet because they sound stupid.
