Unreliable source in article: Headline Planet

Just a polite fyi that Headline Planet is not a reliable source (has never been considered as such despite some incorrectly believing otherwise) and should not be used. This article cites information referenced from 4 diff HP articles so I am going to remove those refs+tag for citation needed (as I did on Folklore). I am sure the editors of this page will have no trouble finding actual reliable sources to supplement. Please see this discussion here for reference.--Carlobunnie (talk) 19:55, 5 August 2020 (UTC) (UTC)[reply]

Track listing, Dixie Chicks -> The Chicks

Hello,

I am suggesting an edit to the track listing to edit the track "Soon You'll Get Better (feat. the Dixie Chicks)" -> "... (feat. The Chicks)". This is how the track listing is listed on Spotify and iTunes/Apple Music, and is the group's updated name. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.57.194.155 (talk) 04:25, 3 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thank You, but the credits are based on album booklet notes and the Lover album was released before the name change, so no. BawinV (talk) 10:42, 11 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Per MOS:NEE, we say "the Dixie Chicks" as that was their name at the time of release. Case in point: Katy Hudson (album) was released by Katy Perry, but the name listed in the article is "Katy Hudson", as that was Perry's name at the time of recording.

Promo singles

Should "Death by a Thousand Cuts", "Daylight", and "Cornelia Street" be listed as promotional singles, given that the live versions were released onto iTunes? HĐ (talk) 10:13, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@HĐ: I don’t think so. She just chose to perform them in Paris, and the live versions were released. As well, this was the last Lover-related promo before Folklore came out, so what would she be promoting? D🐶ggy54321 ^{(let's chat!)} 14:24, 9 March 2021 (UTC) (please ping on reply)[reply]

No, I don't think so. they were just live versions. BawinV (talk) 15:17, 9 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

They certainly should as they were released as singles on iTunes & Spotify rather than as part of an EP or album. They had the same form of release as many songs considered full singles in the digital era, so there's no good reason not to. 2601:180:8200:63D0:29FF:FA5C:A571:604C (talk) 18:54, 7 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Lover Announcement

In the Category Promotion and release and further in the singles section it says ""Lover", the title track, was announced as the third single on August 16, 2019, by Swift at the 2019 Teen Choice Awards.[143] On August 15, 2019, Swift announced on her social media that the music video for the song would premiere during a live Q&A session on YouTube the day before the album release, on August 22, 2019" Should the dates be switched because how can the music video be announced before the song is announced? or is this actually the case.

Done. I went through the source and the actual date of the awards event was August 11, not the 16th; somebody's typo I guess. Thank you for highlighting. BawinV (talk) 17:44, 1 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Edit request

From the Background section: "At midnight, she released the lead single Of TS7, "Me!" featuring Brendon Urie of Panic! at the Disco, along with its music video." should be changed to "At midnight, she released the lead single of "TS7," "Me!" featuring Brendon Urie of Panic! at the Disco, along with its music video."
