Taylor Swift has finally revealed details of her highly-anticipated seventh album Lover, as well as releasing new banger "You Need To Calm Down".
"You Need To Calm Down" is the second taster of Swift's forthcoming record, arriving after April's "ME!".
The new single is an attempt to disperse negativity, and is significantly less annoying than Swift's last single.
Back in May Swift also revealed that her new album title was in the video for "ME!" - but said that no one had guessed the title at the time.
Lover is Swift's first record since 2017's reputation.
"You Need To Calm Down" is out now. Taylor Swift's Lover album drops 23 August, and is available to pre-order now.
