As most of the world already knows, Taylor Swift released her new single last week, “Look What You Made Me Do,” making it known that the old Taylor is dead.
Along with the new single came a new music video that premiered Sunday night at the VMA’s. Some thought the video was creative and impressive, others thought it was petty. Personally, I fell into the petty category.
The music video started with Taylor crawling from beneath her own headstone, that read “Here lies Taylor Swift’s Reputation,” while looking like a zombie. In another scene, Taylor gets into a car crash while holding a Grammy and dressed like Katy Perry.
Towards the end of the video, there’s about ten Taylors from past music videos and past award shows. Taylor basically mocks herself saying to herself, or the other Taylors (try and stay with me, this can get confusing,) things like “there she goes playing the victim again,” and “You can’t possibly be that surprised all the time.”
She’s not wrong.
She doesn’t just make fun of herself though, she says things that could be towards Kim and Kayne and towards other people you have said negative things about her in the past.
This is where I get really annoyed.
Taylor always has a problem with somebody and seems to can’t let anything go. All her music is about past boyfriends or people she has a problem with.
LET IT GO GIRL.
She insinuates in this song that drama isn’t for her and she just lets karma do the work ... Then why are you being petty and writing a song about those who have ‘wronged’ you?
In my opinion, the song doesn’t make any sense anyways. What did all these people really make you do?
If it wasn’t for all these people, all your “haters”, you wouldn’t be where you are now in your career. So please, like you said in your music video, stop playing the victim.
Is Taylor going through an identity crisis or is this just her way of keeping hold of her fans? It’s a toss-up really. With her Instagram being deleted and then filled with clues to her new album, is this single a hint of more to come?
Is this what her upcoming album will sound like? I’m not sticking around to find out.
If you haven’t heard her new single yet, prepare yourself. My ears were bleeding by the end of it.
