1. She removed it from radio to make way for the 2nd single, which would explain the drop.
2. She still shits on your fav artists.
3. Anything else?
Can I get a receipt of the record getting pulled?
She definitey removed it. It was stalling at #4 on Pop radio and then her team used payola to get it to #1 and now she's pulling it to make room for Ready For It.
This isn't uncommon. Earlier this year, Katy pulled Chained from the radios to make room for Bon Appetit. In the days leading up to Bon Appetit's release, Chained to the Rhythm was getting -5M updates on Pop radio.

You honestly have no proof of that.
The song did not perform well on streaming platforms, and the sales were not very great. Also the radio call out scores were bad.
This song simply did not connect with the public.
The label pulling it excuse has no weight, because it has been having lackluster radio updates for about a month now.
It's literally normal for labels to pull a song from radio to make room for the next single. Regardless of CTTR's poor streaming performance, it was still in the Top 10 of Pop radio and they pulled it to make room for Bon Appetit.
Taylor is doing the same thing. She's pulling LWYMMD from radio to make room for Ready For It. She's releasing the video late Thursday night at the start of the tracking week and we can expect Ready For It to have a radio deal on Friday.
Taylor is gonna do whatever it takes to get a hit (props to her). Let's not forget she has an album coming out in 2 weeks so she's gonna do anything she can to promote the album.
Happens all the time!
You have ZERO proof of this. Don't tell me what ATRLers tell each other to soften the blow for their fave's music being dropped.
The song did not connect beyond the first few weeks, and has been struggling at radio for a month. The radio, sales & streaming response are all consistent with a song that did not connect well beyond initial hype. This was not something that happened as a result of the label sending out some alert.
She had another song ready to go that's already Top 20 at Pop, and now she's rolling it out.
The amount of money it costs to work a song on pop. I can?t see anyone pulling a song. Unless it?s been 6 months of heavy rotations. The way the charts are now songs can?t easily chart simultaneously.
YEAH.
She didn't pull it. After the call out scores came in negative, radio started dropping spins. And it's been having a slow death over the last few weeks. It honestly started once "Ready For It?" dropped, and it just gradually slowed down. It seemed like radio couldn't wait to drop it. LOL.
He's acting like the song was smashing, and then her label sent out an alert to drop the song to make way for "REady For It?". First of all, that doesn't even make sense, because "RFI?" is already Top 20. Secondly, a simple impact or adds date would have done the trick.
The song just had zero longevity. And people really didn't like it. She could have burped for 3 minutes, and her first single was going to go #1 coming off the 1989 era.
