Whoops (song)
- ... that while announcing her song "Whoops", Meghan Trainor clarified that it was not about infidelity from her husband?
- Source: Instagram
- not a full review: this hook is only interesting because it raises the question of her husband's infidelity. Both are WP:BLP and the song appears to be not about that, and it doesn't seem that he's had any kind of notable affair? It's also cited only to a primary source. MaranoFan, could you offer an alternative hook? Rjjiii (talk) 04:59, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
- ALT1: ... that despite being happily married for five years, Meghan Trainor released a song about an ex-partner who cheated on her in 2024?
- ALT2: ... that when imagining what a collaboration between her and Jack Harlow would sound like, Meghan Trainor wrote a song about infidelity?
- @Rjjiii: These seem like good options to me, and I will open to suggestions as well. If the cheating theme has to be thrown out altogether, I could create a hook about the Tonight Show performance but this is way more interesting. Thanks.--NØ 05:19, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
ALT2 works. I don't see ALT1 in the article. The song's about cheating, so that's fine; I was wary of a hook that could be easily misread to imply something about a living person. WP:EARWIG is busted, so I did plagiarismdetector.net and quetext.com, and they both say it's all from Wikipedia. I spot-checked three sources,[1][2][3] and they all verified the article content. Looks good, and thanks for the quick reply, Rjjiii (talk) 05:43, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
per a discussion at WT:DYK, MaranoFan has redirected the article to Timeless (Meghan Trainor album). Thanks, all :) theleekycauldron (talk • she/her) 21:21, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
