This isn't even her worst song on Lover.

ME! is the f—- up of that album. I bet The Man gets to 1B before ME!

[Dolce Vita]

ngl it kinda knocks a bit, i'll give it that

[naval23]

This was her "cardigan" after setting the bar so low with "ME"

 

Didn't deserve to be overhated the way it was - it's such a fun bop and the MV is so cute

It was overhated because ME! was so bad. It really affected both YNTCD and Lover's performance on the charts.

 

YNTCD should have been the lead single, Cruel Summer the 2nd, and Lover the 3rd. If they really needed to do ME!, it should have been as the 4th single (which would have been killed off by the pandemic).

[Assassin]

took forever.

[Letters From Adi]

It's a bit childish but is a certified bop. ME! on the other hand...

[FlyOnTheWall]

Her WORST song, talent lost with that one

[Walk_Away21]

ME! clears this song I fear. The beat is good but the lyrics...

There's no world where the perfect rollout for Lover would include ME, YNTCD or The Man. It should have been Cruel Summer, Lover, Death By A Thousand Cuts and Afterglow. Throw in Paper Rings if she wanted to release another bop.

Anyway, on topic, YNTCD is the absolute proof that the Gaylor conspiracy theory is garbage, because literally no queer person would have ever wrote this as a LGBT anthem. So that's a positive thing it has going for it. 

[ImpressMeMuch]

the republican-approved lgbt anthem

[By the Water]

A flop for Taylor is a smash for other girls part 267399 

[Feanor]

Another billion-streamed song for 'Lover'

[byzantium]

It's wild to think that only two years ago she only had 2 songs with more than 1 billion streams.  

[PurrKaty]

24 of the 31 songs off TTPD have now crossed 100M streams. Here's the remaining 7 and their current numbers.

 

The Albatross - 99,146,343

thanK you aIMee - 97,003,498

The Bolter - 95,668,558

I Look In People's Windows - 87,043,360

Cassandra - 84,253,569

The Manuscript - 68,500,277

Robin - 61,487,904

 

The Albatross should cross 100M in about a week, thanK you aIMee and The Bolter should both cross 100M in December.

[Michael196]

It would be insane if out of everything, this is the one to actually breakout from the album, even if it doesn't reach DBM or August's level. And even if it's not in my top 10, I'd take anything if it means for evermore to pick up some steam…

Cruel Summer still gagging PTSD's horrible single choices even in the winter . Guilty as Sin, Down Bad, Fresh Out the Slammer were right there!
