Taylor Swift's latest single 'You Need To Calm Down' leads to 'influx' in GLAAD donations
"You Need To Calm Down" champions the LGBTQ community and even name-drops advocacy organization GLAAD.
Taylor Swift performs onstage at the 2019 iHeartRadio Wango Tango at the Dignity Health Sports Park on June 1, 2019, in Carson, California.Rather than calming anyone down, Taylor Swift's latest single is stoking activism. "You Need To Calm Down," which was released in the midst of Pride Month on Thursday, champions the LGBTQ community and has an anti-hate message. Since the song — the second single on her upcoming album"Lover" — was released, GLAAD has received an"influx" of donations in the amount of $13. The LGBTQ media advocacy organization suspects the donation amount is a nod to Swift's favorite number.
"And control your urges to scream about all the people you hate / 'Cause shade never made anybody less gay," the"Reputation" artist sings."Why are you mad when you could be GLAAD?" Swift, who released a lyric video on YouTube confirming her intended spelling and meaning of GLAAD, asks.
