I will review this nomination. – Editør (talk) 22:10, 25 May 2025 (UTC)
The article is new enough (promoted to GA on 21 May 2025), is long enough (12367 characters of prose), has no sourcing or copyright issues (per GA review), and presentable (per GA review and readthrough). The first hook is cited, short enough, and interesting; however, in the iHeart interview, Swift compares the metaphor used in the song/its lyrics to a metaphor from Crime and Punishment, but she doesn't say that the book was the actual source of inspiration for the lyrics, how I read it, it could also have been a similarity she discovered after the song was finished. So based on this source alone, this hook is problematic. Could you find another source that makes it clear that the book was the inspiration? If so, I would support the first hook. Or could you rephrase the hook to fit what Swift says in the interview? I think ALT1 is sort of okay, ALT2 seems a bit too random, ALT3 seems to divert attention to another song. QPQ is done. – Editør (talk) 22:42, 25 May 2025 (UTC)

Thanks for the review! I've tweaked ALT0 above. Lmk if it works, Ippantekina (talk) 09:34, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

I would recommend not editing the hook, but adding a new alternative instead, because it gets confusing rather easily in these discussions. I think the hook doesn't need the quotation marks and could be shortened:

ALT4... that Taylor Swift compared the metaphors in her song "...Ready for It?" to those in the novel Crime and Punishment?

What do you think? – Editør (talk) 11:36, 26 May 2025 (UTC)

Ah, ok I didn't know the thing about editing hooks. Yes, ALT4 should work. Tysm, Ippantekina (talk) 03:24, 27 May 2025 (UTC)

Some people edit hooks, some people write alternatives.

I approve ALT4. – Editør (talk) 09:49, 27 May 2025 (UTC)
