Taylor Swift's "You Need to Calm Down" Lyrics Decoded

Taylor Swift's new song, "You Need to Calm Down," is finally here!

After teasing the single during an Instagram Live yesterday, the 29-year-old singer released the tune on Friday. Along with sharing the lyric video for the instant hit on YouTube, Swift posted some cover art for the song on Instagram. The photo showed a picture of the 10-time Grammy winner rocking a giant back tattoo. The ink featured a bunch of butterflies flying up above a snake—a key symbol from her reputation era.

Swift spoke about her inspiration for the song during a recent interview with Apple Music's Beats 1.

"I've 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, 'You need to just calm down. Like, you're stressing yourself out. This seems like it's more about you than what you're going off about. Like, just calm down,'" she said.

For a deeper dive into the new song's lyrics, read on below.

It led to the play they were appearing in - Rotterdam at the NST Campus theatre in Southampton - being cancelled on Saturday.

The actors were "hugely shaken" by what happened, a statement on the production's Twitter account said.

Nun claims Katy Perry has 'blood on her hands' over property deal after death of fellow sister

A nun who was engaged in a property dispute with pop star Katy Perry has said the singer has "blood on her hands".

Rita Callanan's best friend Catherine Rose Holzman, a fellow nun, collapsed and died as they prepared to face Perry's legal team in a Los Angeles Court in March 2018.

Sister Callanan, 81, told the New York Post that Sister Holzman's last words were: "Katy Perry. Please stop."

She added that Perry had "blood on her hands" over the 89-year-old's death.

The two nuns were challenging the singer's attempted purchase of a former Los Angeles convent.

Perry agreed to buy the eight-acre property and its Roman villa-style buildings from the Los Angeles archdiocese for $14.5m ($10.4m) in 2015.

The deal failed when its former residents objected.
