  • Length:The article has been expanded by at least Tartarus talk 15:54, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
  • Sourcing (V, RS, BLP): The three sources shown do acknowledge that it could be about her former lover, but I am unsure as to whether the sources themselves are reliable. Tartarus talk 15:54, 26 August 2011 (UTC)
I know. Plus Katy herself has never said who it is specifically about, which is why I put in reportedly. The media loves to play guessing games and all, but EW is generally a reliable source. Of course, I could always re-word it to better imply the media's role:
