Since you have two articles pending review, it is only fair for me to wipe one out! --K. Peake 08:11, 7 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Infobox looks good!
Add commas around the featuring part in the first sentence
This sentence should end with "from her second re-recorded album," and place the release year in brackets, as exact date is not notable for the lead

The title of the album has brackets so another pair of brackets for the release year would be confusing; the release date is also helpful to corroborate the release date in the infobox.

Cut the second sentence down after produced to "for the album." because the previous sentence will have mentioned the title
Mention in the first para that she wrote the song in March 2012
Remove the word understated since this is not notable here
Remove wikilinks on guitar
""Nothing New" reached the" → "the song reached the"

Wikilink Phoebe Bridgers on the img text
Remove commas from around Red
The exact release date and media debate are not sourced
"her contract with the label granted her" → "the new contract granted her"
Pipe master recordings to Mastering (audio)
The exact release date of the Fearless re-recording is not sourced
Remove the comma before Red (Taylor's Version)
The vault having been written originally but not released on the album is not sourced
Wikilink Phoebe Bridgers

The lyrical sentence should be the third one instead and Swift is not sourced as the writer
The folk genre is not sourced, plus you can add that the song is a ballad to that sentence per Pitchfork ref

Pipe chorus to Refrain
Remove wikilink on refrain
"contains the lyric," → "contains the line"
"herself describes the song: "[I]t's about" → "herself describes the song as "about"
"say that the song is" → "say that it is" to avoid overusage of "it"

"lyrical capabilities (although Lipshutz" → "lyrical capabilities, although Lipshutz" since this is relevant enough to not warrant brackets
Lindsay Lozadz is not the correct name of the NYT writer
The New Yorker source does not mention the song

It does ("For 'Nothing New,' Swift invited the indie-rock darling Phoebe Bridgers to record with her. The song, a downcast acoustic track, sounds more of a piece with the folksy poeticism of Swift's latest albums, 'folklore' and 'evermore,' than with 'Red.' ") Maybe by the time you accessed to it your amount of free accesses had expired?

On hold until all of the issues are fixed; I forgot to add this message initially. --K. Peake 08:03, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for the review. I have resolved all except where I responded above. Ippantekina (talk) 05:23, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ippantekina Thanks for the quick response; the only issues I still have are that while the release year probably isn't appropriate in brackets for the lead, the exact date needn't be used since it's already written in the body, sourcing the infobox. Also, you have forgotten to fix the Billboard citation on ref 14. --K. Peake 08:03, 8 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ippantekina ✓ Pass now, well done on being so co-operative! --K. Peake 07:18, 9 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
