So many fans don’t like this song but I always thought it was a goofy, fun song. I always loved the music video. I don’t think it was supposed to be serious at all so that is why I love it. Thanks for reacting.
The fans who dislike this don´t understand her 3 writing pens, this is a glitter gel pen song. And they also don´t like fun. As a swifite since 2008 I love ALL the shades and layers of Taylor, she is all of those pens and multifaceted🥰 AS Taylor herself said : The worst kind of person is someone who makes someone feel bad, dumb or stupid for being excited about something”
I love this song, for the same reason she made it. The snake turning into butterflies is her turning from the Reputation album and the dark themes to the Lover album and all the colors (including a node to the LGBTQ rainbow) and her being in a good mood and in love after being almost cancelled by Kanye and the Kardishans. Watch the documentary Miss Americana she explains in it the concept of the video (all the things we love that make you and make me, she tells the co-vocalist). It’s FUN. When you want a fun song while driving, cleaning, or just to be silly and have positive vibes - it’s the perfect song. I think people who don’t like it are the ones who loved the Reputation album and wanted more dark Taylor 😂 they don’t know how to do happy lol
@ZoeyPaigeLunaPhD I think it was fun, not my type of music but yes I do like many of her songs and I love who she is. ME! It is just fun to watch and listen too. But ya know, ya don't have to watch and ya don't have to leave messages about an artist ya don't like, you just simply scroll on by. If you comment here you will see more of her. so, there's your quick fix 😂 don't comment bro!
@@lisaestes4748 1. This song was picked by the Swifties as her worst song. Did you not pay attention to anything they said in the video? 2. I never said I “didn’t like the artist. I love her actually 4. You think someone named “Zoey” is a bro? This only scratches the surface of your assumptions, lack of attention to the information at hand, and flawed logic.
Never skip it... but I’ll skip a lot of her heavier songs which I also love depending on my mood or what I’m doing. But this is great getting ready in the morning or cleaning or perk you up after a long day etc. like I’ll skip a lot of folklore or evermore during those times of day but never ME 😂
I've ALWAYS liked Me by taylor and everything you saw in the music video, ALL her idea.... She actually told brendan the concept for the MV while he was busy recording his vocals for the song in the studio,on her documentary Miss Americana, there's also a little bts😊
I love ME! Just fun and with a great message. Not everything has to be intricate, dark and serious to be good. Taylor loves to have fun, to be her dorky self at times, and it's frustrating that there are those that dump on ME! because it doesn't meet their 'serious' takes on songs. Enough sh!t in the world, happy to have some cotton candy added to it. Thanks for your joyful reactions!
I like this song and love the video. Coming after Reputation is also appropriate to the narrative. People take themselves to seriously. She's having a blast.
You guys might like the decoding videos that pop up after she has a new music video. I've heard some reactors and seen comments from people who don't like ME! Their reasons mostly boil down to disappointment because they are huge fans of Reputation, wanted Taylor to have a chip on her shoulder and write big heavy songs aimed at her critics . It is stupid. This song is important to _Taylor_ . I know that because 1) it was the first single, with a music video. 2) it was a rare collaboration, this time with Brendon Urie; 3) it is showcased in her Miss Americana documentary both in the studio and on set for the video; 4) She did several live performances of the song before the album was out; 5) Taylor had some really bad days during her pre - Reputation period of isolation, and the song is about loving yourself. It is a mental health reminder. The song is also a reminder from Taylor that music is supposed to be fun. One of the main things people say about it is it is a children's song, or "too Disney" ---- while not acknowledging that Taylor was a huge Disney fan as a child, and that several of her songs over the years were put on albums because of her sense of humor (Stay Stay Stay: "it's so fun! giggle"). Personally, I love this song; the video is amazing. It was a song she wrote with Joel Little; maybe one of the first for the new album. It is like the people who dismiss Shake It Off as bubblegum; they didn't get it. Have fun, get rid of the stress, enjoy yourself. And the rainbows are an Easter Egg for the next single, YNTCD, an LGBTQ+ anthem released on Donald J Trump's BIRTHDAY. I've never felt angry about the existence of people who are different from me. Also, my mother died (of old age, and cancer) a few months before I heard this album. If you haven't listened to it, listen to Soon You'll Get Better. (also, for another song showcasing her humor: the opening track is "I Forgot That You Existed" (the quotes are part of the title, lol).
The French part was part of the start of easter egg's "You Need to Calm Down" and the cool chicks were the women, The Chicks" previously called the Dixie Chicks, are on the song "Soon You'll Get Better" (song about Taylor's mom having cancer). The 2 cats (Olivia and Merrideth) on the couch are Taylor's and the kitten she ended up adopting is Benjamin Button's. And of course, there are more, Taylor would put out a ton of clues, teasing Swifties like crazy.
@@HPReact Just remember this, if something seems odd, like purple goo coming out of an egg "Anti-Hero", it is an easter egg, a clue to something coming.
Taylor has mentioned in interviews how the Dixie Chicks were one on the bands she grew up listening to & is inspired by them. The song for Mamma Swift was emotional, personal & heart wrenching. This is so much fun! Music can be filled with so many emotions!
I don’t think Taylor knows what the word budget is in regards to her videos cause they are always over the top and I love it! I feel like there has been a lot less emphasis on music videos over the years and I miss it so I love when she releases a video.
There is a bit where they are recording the song and over the top was exactly what she was looking for. This is totally Taylor's vision for it! I have always loved it!
This one is just FUN! It belongs on a Broadway stage or in a musical film. The song itself is not the deepest in concept but I don't think it was meant to be. It's made for a sing-along while you're dancing around the house in your PJs. ❤
Chats & reacts have said numerous times that if we got a piano version of this song, there might be more to fathom as far as it being deeper than what it seems. Especially after we get tortured poets, I’m scared a lot of these songs where Taylor takes accountability for a lot of the relationship issues her and joe had will kind of change meaning... I’m so nervous lol
@@mayadrachmann5138 I was lucky enough to meet them at the meet up before the Santa Clara show! They’re everything you wish they were! Chatty and sweet and hilarious and tall and gorgeous! Then I saw them again at the show like next day and Emily ran over and totally remembered me lol… I’ll forever be a fan!
I like this song. People just hate extremely happy songs after Reputation being so dark. Also, the other song I know people hate is It’s Nice to Have a Friend. I don’t mind it. I know some don’t know that song was mostly written by a children’s music school and their teacher and asked her to write lyrics and didn’t go to deep on them because well it’s for the kids education. Also, she has it where all the sales and royalties from the song goes to that school. So I kinda get mad when people speak so poorly about it when it has a bigger purpose than just a song on the album when it’s for kids music education.
Taylor has a vision for her music, her success & her life. This package includes talented songwriter/ singer, smart business woman, kind & generous human, emotionally vulnerable, sexy woman and Yes Fun & Dorky too!! 😂 This one is the silly we love but it has an important message of self love - MASTERMIND! 🤍😊
watch the behind the scenes for this --- neither of them actually _speak_ French, and they had a coach to help them get it right. also, Taylor doesn't need to bother worrying about budgets for the videos --- they always make more than they cost.
I always loved this song too!!! Esp. because it so hugely encourages the idea of embracing what makes you, you and not trying to be one of the crowd just to be accepted or loved. Plus it's just plain silly, goofy and fun!!!
I enjoyed your reaction! 🙂 I liked the video pauses for comments in the moment. 👍 A 1-second comment with the video playing is okay...for longer comments I think a pause is better than talking over the video. 🤷 Again, I enjoyed your reaction! Thanks!
I love this song and video, not just because it’s fun and the video is amazing but even more for why it was written. In the Miss Americana documentary there’s so much great material about who she is, what she’s been through and what influences her songwriting. The film ends with both the Reputation tour and her recording of Lover and there’s a section on this song and her ideas for the video. I think people forget because the music was so good how dark a time in her life the year before Reputation was and how that influenced the album. Yes she found love and had a mega hit album but she also had to constantly live with that dark time and its image, the snake, for a long time. When she was writing Me she wanted something fun to metaphorically cleanse her palate for a new era (she’s all about eras). She wanted the snakes to become butterflies, she choose Brandon Urie (perfect I thought) who’s all about fun. She was happy, in love and wanted the first song of a great but unfortunately underrated by a lot of fans, album. She specifically mentions she wanted rainbows, unicorns, bright colours and over the top pop fun so there would be no doubt she had moved on to a much happier place. Her music always reflects her life which is a very important part of what makes her great. Yes unhappiness, sadness & feeling hated produced a great bounce back “in your face haters” album but she wouldn’t be human if there wasn’t a cost to that. If it didn’t always remind her of where that music came from, just like any trauma any of us have faced. She wanted to wipe the slate clean and reset, Reputation videos were amazing and over the top as well, just in a very dark palate. She wanted bright, happy and to create a new era free of the snake where colour and joy existed. I don’t think she could have made a better choice for that reset and she wouldn’t be the Taylor we love if she didn’t go all out doing it. She also still had some subtle fun in the lyrics with the media’s perception of her being dramatic or critical about her love life and basically said “you think I’m over the top, well I might as well have fun with it and be more out there then you can imagine”. Lover has so many amazing songs. Being happy didn’t make her less brilliant it just has for the most part a more positive outlook. No matter where that relationship ended I loved happy Taylor, it produced some incredible songs and one not happy but incredibly beautiful masterpiece that is so true and heartfelt I still tear up every time I listen to it. For good reason Taylor never made a video for this song and doesn’t perform it live except once during COVID for charity and because she knew how many people were feeling that specific type of emotion during those terrible days. I would love to see you react to Soon You’ll Get Better, the song she wrote about how she was feeling when her mother was battling cancer for the second time. I challenge anyone who’s ever lost a loved one or been with them through a battle with not just cancer but any disease (Covid, etc) to make it through this song without tears flowing. For me it was also my mom and we lost her, it was 2011 but listening to this song still brings it back and heals through the connection and understanding of this perfect in its emotional truth song. The Chicks add a beautiful layer on the harmonies and with the instrumentation and I love that she subtly thanked them & nodded to this song with the inclusion of a picture of The Chicks among a wall full of pictures of actual chicks to punctuate the “there’s a lot of cool chicks out there” line in the Me video (their picture is prominently shown over Brandon’s right shoulder when they cut back to the apartment. Sorry for the novel but I have a lot of strong feelings about how important and amazing Lover is and this song (link below) will never stop filling my heart. Soon You’ll Get Better - ruclips.net/video/2P-uLAQ9FCI/видео.htmlsi=wZCuUNdKd-_2bilA PS. You really need to react to Miss Americana (Netflix), its key to understanding the real Taylor and what shaped the woman she’s become.
I love the "ME!" song and the video. There will always be people who can't or won't see the fun in things that are meant to be fun. The beauty of Taylor's career is that she makes different types of music and in many genres. Some want to put her into specific boxes that they created for her. There will always be snobs who can't just enjoy things for what they are intended to be. Thanks for the reaction.
I love her for doing these types of things and not taking herself so seriously all the time. Sometimes it's about having fun, not all the songs have to be deep and emotional. She said she wanted to put everything that she liked and defined her in an overwhelming music video (it's on purpose), it's very sad people claim to hate it.
For me the song ME and video has very similar vibes to You Need to Calm Down, which they reference in the beginning French part of this. YNTCD has a different director, but Taylor always has clear ideas about the look and feel of her videos, so that is the common thread even when she's working with different production crews. I don't recall if you've watched that video yet, but it would be a good next song. On that one you may want to look up the list of cameos after you watch the video and then re-watch it. The ME! video is a technicolor explosion and it's awesome, but I have to say that the song itself isn't one I have on repeat. If there was a stripped down acoustic version (maybe there is??), I would definitely be more interested in that. As far as production of music videos goes, Taylor seemingly has massive budgets for all of her music videos and I've never seen a bad one in the mix. The ones that most newbies really like are ones where she worked with Joseph Khan. He won a Grammy for the Bad Blood mv. He also produced directed Blank Space, Wildest Dreams, Out of the Woods, ...Ready For It?, Look What You Made Me Do, End Game, and Delicate. Thanks to Wikipedia, I think that's all of them. He's worked with lots of other artists as well. In recent years, she has started taking on that producing & directing role herself without sacrificing the concepts or quality of the videos. On the ME mv Taylor worked with Dave Meyers, who has also worked with a bunch of other A-list artists including Taylor's good friends Selena and Ed Sheeran.
Usually, if someone doesn't like a Taylor song, they haven't fathomed it yet. I don't mean they don't understand it... I mean they are not able to place themselves in that situation and realize holy cow there's a song that perfectly describes what I'm feeling. A lot of people don't have a good view of themselves, so it's hard to truly jam to ME! without that self-love part at first.
In case no one has mentioned it, Taylor also directed this video. I've always liked this song, and the video is great. ❤ Oh, and most people don't notice this, at the beginning, when he sings about other cool chicks out there, the picture on the wall is the Dixie Chicks.
I love this song! I’ve particularly love it when I am in an energetic, happy mood. 😊 The making of a song video is fantastic. She loves this song! The expression on her face and she played it live at the Era's tour, and everyone sang along and enjoyed it-PRICELESS!. CRUEL Summercool was supposed to be the first single from this album, but they decided that might be a little inappropriate as it was summer of 2020. This one came out, and was a stark contrast to the Reputation album which had come out before people weren’t ready for it.
You should react to the Grammy museum. She talks about how she wrote and produced 1989 album. Then she performs a few songs live just her and her instruments. It would really help to gain more of an insight of her as a musician. Or even something off speak now album. She got lots of hate when she was younger and people said she didn’t write her own music. So when she was 18/19 she ended up writing an entire album with ZERO co writers just to prove a point ❤ (but if you react to anything before reputation make sure it’s Taylor’s version we don’t want to support scooter Braun lol)
Lots of nods to many classic films. Sidenote- she bought, restored & got landmark status for the Goldwyn estate (G of MGM studios) - also her brother studied film and handles her sync licenses to tv/film. Actress Grace Kelly (who learned french in school & moved to a country that spoke French) was from Philadelphia (which is the closest major city that TS grew up). I wonder if her grandparents were an influence with this exposure. She has always been interested in history, museums & vintage shopping - her producer & her bonded over Kennedy history. At one point she met JFK's brother's widow- and dated the grandson- she was mentioned in a Kennedy memoir. She references literature & history in her music- roaring 20s, 1950s, 90s trends, etc. Basically her music is a time capsule of pop culture from her viewpoint/interpretation.
It is objectively a good song and video. Ifffff it was from a Taylor Swift who entirely disengaged her brain and entered a candy pop trance. I think the perceived “dumbing down” is what most fans object to. If Katy Perry had released the same thing I’d expect it to go with a lot lighter criticism because completely mindless pop songs are her bag.
I think this song was a shocker for fans and caught some immediate flack because this and you need to calm down were the singles released for this album (Taylor is notorious for picking bad singles) and the transition from Reputation (the previous album) to this was JARRING. People were so annoyed by the “hey kids, spelling is fun” that Taylor actually cut it from the album version of the song. Which is sad because if you saw her perform it live she changed it to match the situation “hey kids, tonight is my birthday!” (iheart jingle ball) “Hey kids, Vegas is fun!” (Billboard music awards) She had a vision for it, but basically got bullied out of playing it, which is kind sad. She’s been on record of saying it was a tonal decision that was made in the studio because she wanted it to not take itself too seriously and want it to read that way. This and the scale change in the Anti-Hero music video are both fan triggered changes she has made since her move from Big Machine (and thus having more control over changes like this). The only other changes I can remember in her discography are insensitive lyrics from early albums. Picture to Burn being done while still at Big Machine and Better than Revenge being done on the re-record. I wouldn’t put those two changes in the same category as the two previous ones though.
Thanks for appreciating this song! Is it her best? No, but like you said it’s a lot of fun (especially singing along to it in your car) and if you’ve seen her „miss Americana“ documentary you also know that she had so much fun writing it. It’s about self-love and always changes my mood for the better when I listen to it. I don’t see how there could be anything wrong with a song like that.
I don't know why people hate on ME! so much. It's from the lover album which is more fun and light and upbeat so it fits with the vibe of the album. Personally I like that Taylor has so many different styles of songs so there is one that fits every occasion. Sometimes I just want to listen to pop songs that make me happy, and this one definitely makes me happy.
I love ME! This one comes on her 7th album, so this far in Taylor has more than proven she can write deep lyrics, with that knowledge it should be safe to assume she wanted this song to be just this: fun and lighthearted. I also love that while the song is called ME! It not self centered, but does also say "you're the only one of you, that's the fun of you." With so many high standards in society, it's nice to celebrate everyone and what makes them unique. She did say in the recording studio (shown in Miss Americana) that she wanted kids to happily sing the chorus "me he he, I'm the only one of me." And while I prefer her sad songs, there are just too happy days when I do not want to listen to This is Me Trying, Tolerate It, etc etc... I'm glad you had fun with this one, comment to you on the next one, guys! ✌🏼😊
This is also my first time watching this music video, but I have heard of this song before. i thought it was a really fun song. MV may be over the top, but I think it suits the song. And holy smokes, i did not realize, Taylor is super tall 😂💜
I’ve always thought this song is catchy as hell, a great silly factor and a great message! I’ve only seen this performed live though and I really liked it! The video…super fun!
I don't know if you guys would ever consider reacting to Taylor's movies but, if so, I would suggest Miss Americana and the Eras Tour movies as highest priorities. Also, although you've seen several clips from The Long Pond Sessions, the whole movies is great and you'd hear some songs you've never heard before. The same could be said for the Reputation Stadium Tour (although I don't know how to see that, at the moment) and the 1989 World Tour (which is available for free on RUclips). And, finally, if you're curious about her early days, you might like her Fearless Tour and Speak Now tours from ages ago. In any case, there is one performance in particular from the Speak Now Tour that you really ought to see for it's over-the-top melodramatic fun: Taylor Swift - Haunted (Speak Now World Tour) ruclips.net/video/rdO7uFT6Bh8/видео.html
Okay this song gets way too much hate. I LOVE this song! it's just so upbeat and self affirming. I really am the only one. There's only ONE of ME! hahahaha
I love this song, Just like I love BTS's Dynamite, and I know how deep their songs are. And I love both songs, and they are just pop hits, feel good songs. And there is nothing wrong with that.
To be perfectly honest I LOVE this song. I guess I get the hate because is WAY bubblegummy pop... BUT still, it is an amazing song and the message is also great. so I don't know what to tell ya'... everyone is entitled to their opinion... also per HER own words, this video was to show "everything that makes her, her" meaning "If you were to open her head up THIS is what would come out." it is all explained in Miss America when they recorded this song. and you can see her GENUINE joy at the idea not just of the song but ALSO of the video she WAS extremely excited. to answer your question this was the first single from "Lover" and as per usual there are some easter eggs (clues... a Taylor and Swifties tradition thing) that tell us more about the album or possible things to come... in this case when the video came out I believe no one knew the title of the album... so in a scene (on the roof, with the unicorn) you actually see the name of the album. The French-speaking was another clue regarding a small concert that was held IN Paris for the Lover album "The City of Lover...live from Paris)... it was meant to be the kick-off to the tour (I think) before COVID and everything got canceled after so that is the only show (as a concert) of that era. also, there was a picture on the wall of *The Chicks* because they had a collab in the album with a song.
My first time for the song too & the lyrics basically sounds like they are telling people to celebrate their originality. To me, this sounds like 'you do you' & accept yourself for who you are. And I don't think the rainbow colors are an accident... just sayin'. This old 71 year old broad loved it.
So the backstory is that Taylor really wanted the video be over the top… and the lyrics and tune to be something that kids wanted to sing and feel good about themselves (her merch said “Can’t spell Awesome without ME”). I hate that people hate it- they didn’t get what her goal was which was fun, appealing for kids (hinting at Mary Poppins, Wizard of Oz, etc). When she explains what her vision is to Brendan in the Miss Americana documentary it is clear what she was going for. I love that she wanted to lift up kids who she saw getting depressed online due to bullying, feeling invisible, etc.
The budget for this one was "yes". There's behind the scenes of her talking about and making this video that's really fun. For me, the video makes this song. It's not a bad song, it's just not a great representation of her skills imo.
This is a great cheery song. People think that things have to be edgy and deep to be good. They are wrong. In the Making Of video she tells someone that that she wants the video to look like what she sees in her head. By the way, obviously "Good" or "Bad" is subjective. I hate tomatoes, other people (for some reason) like them.
Only fake swifties don't like this song. They don't like fun songs. This is a great fun song. Not everything has to be serious. People should lighten up.
People who just listen her pop songs like this song will never understand how she is so talented after listening to folklore and evermore albums I knew how she is true artist.
Some of her pop stuff is great, primarily 1989 (except Bad Blood which is as bad as this song) and Reputation. None of it compares to the intelligent more complex albums she’s done in her 30s Some of Lover is downright terrible including this song
I had never seen this, but I thought it was great. I wonder if this song was released when she was transitioning through genres and the old genre fans just weren't on board with the new sound yet? Just speculation, I've no real idea. But colorful and fun.
TBH I liked most of Lover, and I'd adored Reputation. It was just jarring, I'd expected better single-picking with the new label, and the lyrics on this one are so... shallow, it was a real shock to the system. If it'd been a ballad with shallow lyrics I'd have been just as upset, it's not the upbeat nature that threw me. It's a skip for me, my kids like it, and that's fine! I definitely like other peppy poppy songs by her tho!
Best Taylor quote: "I think for ME!" 🤣🤣🤣 ME! isn't my favorite, but it doesn't deserve all the hate. It has a nice positive uplifting message and very catchy repetitive hook, but who am I to judge. Might be adressed to younger generations. The visuals are just stunning. Taylors MVs are always a beautiful extension of her lyrics and her vision. I feel like she cares more about the quality of her art than budget or profit. Remembering the Bad Blood MV, when she spent like 13 mio to have all her friends have cameos and much fun on set. I mean its business with fun and perfection combined. I have no idea how she does that, but I love her so much for it❤❤❤
Idk why this song gets so much hate. It's a glitter gel pen song... Just dance and don't be so serious. I physically can't not dance to it when it comes on.
Just in case you haven't heard the reference yet Taylor said she writes in 3 styles or "pens" Glitter Gel Pen(Bubble gum pop) Fountain Pen and Quill It's usually pretty easy to distinguish which is which.
I think that the biggest criticism towards ME! is the lyrics. The video is really high budget and well done. But Taylor is known for being a brilliant storyteller. When you have a song that is a fan favorite like All Too Well, which is an amazing story in song format, or songs like Peace, This Is Me Trying or older ones like Dear John or The Moment I knew, or recent ones like No Body No Crime, she writes sooooo well that it's odd when in this song the chorus is: Me he he, ho ho hoooo, I'm the only one of me... And the bridge (she is famous for writing the best bridges) in ME! the bridge is: Hey kids, spelling is fun!... Like, People didn't receive the lyrics very well. I love how fun the song is and on Miss Americana we can see a part of the song creation and Taylor was so happy writing it that it makes me feel bad that most people don't like the lyrics. But, it's like you guys said, her "low bar" is still good in comparison to many pop songs out there.
If Swifties somehow genuinely worried that this was suddenly going to become the new norm in her songwriting then I get the reaction - that’s the only way to take the reception it got from Swifties as anything other than an embarrassing overreaction. But how did anyone ever hear that “hey kids, spelling is fun!!!” bridge and not see how tongue in cheek this was? Brilliant, over the top (in a great way) MV. Love that the argument’s in French (“je suis calm!!!”). If people had seen it as a fun technicolor little side quest - and perhaps a happy, sly little jab at folks (media, Grammy voters) who would take years to properly appreciate Reputation - I feel like the reception would’ve been very different.
This is a great explanation of the issues! I think my biggest problem as a fan of hers was that this was the first single from her new label, and I'd been so, so hoping that the singles chosen would have more meat to them. 'There's a lot of lame chicks out there' is just NOT what I wanted. At all. FWIW I hate the 'sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby' line too, so I'm at least a consistent curmudgeon (but I love Anti-Hero and we all have lyrics that aren't faves!)

Fun Fact: the little kitten in the music video was up for adoption and Taylor fell in love with him so much so she adopted Benjamin. 🥰
Yea that cat was time person of the year 😂
@@Flixtex
Benjamin Button! 🎉😻
this is a GREAT song....dont know what people are talking about!! I love it
So many fans don’t like this song but I always thought it was a goofy, fun song. I always loved the music video. I don’t think it was supposed to be serious at all so that is why I love it. Thanks for reacting.
Exactly, those fans don´t get her glitter gel pen songs at all, or Taylor.
The fans who dislike this don´t understand her 3 writing pens, this is a glitter gel pen song. And they also don´t like fun. As a swifite since 2008 I love ALL the shades and layers of Taylor, she is all of those pens and multifaceted🥰 AS Taylor herself said : The worst kind of person is someone who makes someone feel bad, dumb or stupid for being excited about something”
couldn't have said it better myself.... cheers from a fellow OG since 2008
Long long time fan. I understand the different pens. Love fun and am not a fan of this one! Not all songs are for all people 🤷♀️
@@mm_A that is absolutely true. guess it just feels happy and brightens my day
I absolutely love this song and video!
I love this song, for the same reason she made it. The snake turning into butterflies is her turning from the Reputation album and the dark themes to the Lover album and all the colors (including a node to the LGBTQ rainbow) and her being in a good mood and in love after being almost cancelled by Kanye and the Kardishans. Watch the documentary Miss Americana she explains in it the concept of the video (all the things we love that make you and make me, she tells the co-vocalist). It’s FUN. When you want a fun song while driving, cleaning, or just to be silly and have positive vibes - it’s the perfect song. I think people who don’t like it are the ones who loved the Reputation album and wanted more dark Taylor 😂 they don’t know how to do happy lol
Rep is my favorite album, AND I love this song. I think people who don't like this song are assassins of fun 😂
@@wildly_heather they are allergic to awesomeness!😂😂
ME isn’t a bad song! It’s a self love and empowerment song. I love it
Swifties call Taylor Swift mother all the time!
One song where Taylor called us kids...
Swifties -> Burn the song 😅
It’s awful 😂
@ZoeyPaigeLunaPhD
I think it was fun, not my type of music but yes I do like many of her songs and I love who she is. ME! It is just fun to watch and listen too. But ya know, ya don't have to watch and ya don't have to leave messages about an artist ya don't like, you just simply scroll on by. If you comment here you will see more of her. so, there's your quick fix 😂 don't comment bro!

1. This song was picked by the Swifties as her worst song. Did you not pay attention to anything they said in the video?
2. I never said I “didn’t like the artist. I love her actually
4. You think someone named “Zoey” is a bro?
This only scratches the surface of your assumptions, lack of attention to the information at hand, and flawed logic.
@@ZoeyPaigeLunaPhD 😂😂😂😂 good talk
ME! stans... ASSEMBLE!!! 💪🏻❤
Never skip it... but I’ll skip a lot of her heavier songs which I also love depending on my mood or what I’m doing. But this is great getting ready in the morning or cleaning or perk you up after a long day etc. like I’ll skip a lot of folklore or evermore during those times of day but never ME 😂
I've ALWAYS liked Me by taylor and everything you saw in the music video, ALL her idea.... She actually told brendan the concept for the MV while he was busy recording his vocals for the song in the studio,on her documentary Miss Americana, there's also a little bts😊
These glitter pen songs make her discography lively and colourful.
I like Me! and I don’t get all the hate. Yes is it a bit cheesy and not as lyrically deep as other songs but it’s still fun and a good listen.
I love ME! Just fun and with a great message. Not everything has to be intricate, dark and serious to be good. Taylor loves to have fun, to be her dorky self at times, and it's frustrating that there are those that dump on ME! because it doesn't meet their 'serious' takes on songs. Enough sh!t in the world, happy to have some cotton candy added to it. Thanks for your joyful reactions!
Agreed!!👍
Taylor mentioned while writing this song she envisioned children shouting in glee singing the chorus (there never be anybody else like ME MEEE!!
The making of this song was so cute!
I like this song and love the video. Coming after Reputation is also appropriate to the narrative. People take themselves to seriously. She's having a blast.
I love the song. It is fun and happy. Not every song, movie, book, etc had to be deep and meaningful. Sometimes I just want dessert, not a whole meal
I love every shade of Taylor. She is brilliant and never boring
Ahhhh this is my moment!!! 😂😂😂 ME He Heeee! I clicked so fast!
I don’t want to live in a world without glitter and rainbows! Love this ❤
You guys might like the decoding videos that pop up after she has a new music video.
I've heard some reactors and seen comments from people who don't like ME! Their reasons mostly boil down to disappointment because they are huge fans of Reputation, wanted Taylor to have a chip on her shoulder and write big heavy songs aimed at her critics . It is stupid. This song is important to _Taylor_ . I know that because 1) it was the first single, with a music video. 2) it was a rare collaboration, this time with Brendon Urie; 3) it is showcased in her Miss Americana documentary both in the studio and on set for the video; 4) She did several live performances of the song before the album was out; 5) Taylor had some really bad days during her pre - Reputation period of isolation, and the song is about loving yourself. It is a mental health reminder.
The song is also a reminder from Taylor that music is supposed to be fun. One of the main things people say about it is it is a children's song, or "too Disney" ---- while not acknowledging that Taylor was a huge Disney fan as a child, and that several of her songs over the years were put on albums because of her sense of humor (Stay Stay Stay: "it's so fun! giggle"). Personally, I love this song; the video is amazing. It was a song she wrote with Joel Little; maybe one of the first for the new album. It is like the people who dismiss Shake It Off as bubblegum; they didn't get it. Have fun, get rid of the stress, enjoy yourself. And the rainbows are an Easter Egg for the next single, YNTCD, an LGBTQ+ anthem released on Donald J Trump's BIRTHDAY. I've never felt angry about the existence of people who are different from me. Also, my mother died (of old age, and cancer) a few months before I heard this album. If you haven't listened to it, listen to Soon You'll Get Better. (also, for another song showcasing her humor: the opening track is "I Forgot That You Existed" (the quotes are part of the title, lol).
Wonderful context! Thank you so much for this. We had no idea. We love the song and video no matter what, but this really elevates it. TY! 🙏🏻
I love it & it has a great message 🌈 💖
There is a "behind the scenes" video on youtube from when they made this. You guys might find it interesting
I second this!
I third that
Yes, please check that out!!!
Great! I’ll look it up ! Thanks!!
There's more than one bts for this one ---- but I do like the kitten one.
The French part was part of the start of easter egg's "You Need to Calm Down" and the cool chicks were the women, The Chicks" previously called the Dixie Chicks, are on the song "Soon You'll Get Better" (song about Taylor's mom having cancer). The 2 cats (Olivia and Merrideth) on the couch are Taylor's and the kitten she ended up adopting is Benjamin Button's. And of course, there are more, Taylor would put out a ton of clues, teasing Swifties like crazy.
Oh wow! Had no idea. We love the context. Thank you!!! 🙏🏻
@@HPReact Just remember this, if something seems odd, like purple goo coming out of an egg "Anti-Hero", it is an easter egg, a clue to something coming.
Taylor has mentioned in interviews how the Dixie Chicks were one on the bands she grew up listening to & is inspired by them.
The song for Mamma Swift was emotional, personal & heart wrenching. This is so much fun!
Music can be filled with so many emotions!
I don’t think Taylor knows what the word budget is in regards to her videos cause they are always over the top and I love it! I feel like there has been a lot less emphasis on music videos over the years and I miss it so I love when she releases a video.
this is one of my fave taylor songs!!
There is a bit where they are recording the song and over the top was exactly what she was looking for. This is totally Taylor's vision for it! I have always loved it!
This one is just FUN! It belongs on a Broadway stage or in a musical film. The song itself is not the deepest in concept but I don't think it was meant to be. It's made for a sing-along while you're dancing around the house in your PJs. ❤
It’s as fun as spelling, you could say 😂😂
Chats & reacts have said numerous times that if we got a piano version of this song, there might be more to fathom as far as it being deeper than what it seems. Especially after we get tortured poets, I’m scared a lot of these songs where Taylor takes accountability for a lot of the relationship issues her and joe had will kind of change meaning... I’m so nervous lol
@@Ktcsr17 I absolutely love Chats and Reacts! They are the sweetest! Really recommend watching their videos to anyone who hasn't yet
@@mayadrachmann5138 I was lucky enough to meet them at the meet up before the Santa Clara show! They’re everything you wish they were! Chatty and sweet and hilarious and tall and gorgeous! Then I saw them again at the show like next day and Emily ran over and totally remembered me lol… I’ll forever be a fan!
I like this song. People just hate extremely happy songs after Reputation being so dark.
Also, the other song I know people hate is It’s Nice to Have a Friend. I don’t mind it. I know some don’t know that song was mostly written by a children’s music school and their teacher and asked her to write lyrics and didn’t go to deep on them because well it’s for the kids education. Also, she has it where all the sales and royalties from the song goes to that school. So I kinda get mad when people speak so poorly about it when it has a bigger purpose than just a song on the album when it’s for kids music education.
Taylor has a vision for her music, her success & her life.
This package includes talented songwriter/ singer, smart business woman, kind & generous human, emotionally vulnerable, sexy woman and Yes Fun & Dorky too!! 😂
This one is the silly we love but it has an important message of self love - MASTERMIND! 🤍😊
watch the behind the scenes for this --- neither of them actually _speak_ French, and they had a coach to help them get it right. also, Taylor doesn't need to bother worrying about budgets for the videos --- they always make more than they cost.
I always loved this song too!!! Esp. because it so hugely encourages the idea of embracing what makes you, you and not trying to be one of the crowd just to be accepted or loved. Plus it's just plain silly, goofy and fun!!!
I enjoy this song for what it is. It's definitely not her best, but I love the message. I also think it's so sweet that this is how she got Benjamin 🥰
I enjoyed your reaction! 🙂
I liked the video pauses for comments in the moment. 👍 A 1-second comment with the video playing is okay...for longer comments I think a pause is better than talking over the video. 🤷
Again, I enjoyed your reaction! Thanks!
I love this song and video, not just because it’s fun and the video is amazing but even more for why it was written. In the Miss Americana documentary there’s so much great material about who she is, what she’s been through and what influences her songwriting. The film ends with both the Reputation tour and her recording of Lover and there’s a section on this song and her ideas for the video. I think people forget because the music was so good how dark a time in her life the year before Reputation was and how that influenced the album. Yes she found love and had a mega hit album but she also had to constantly live with that dark time and its image, the snake, for a long time. When she was writing Me she wanted something fun to metaphorically cleanse her palate for a new era (she’s all about eras). She wanted the snakes to become butterflies, she choose Brandon Urie (perfect I thought) who’s all about fun. She was happy, in love and wanted the first song of a great but unfortunately underrated by a lot of fans, album. She specifically mentions she wanted rainbows, unicorns, bright colours and over the top pop fun so there would be no doubt she had moved on to a much happier place. Her music always reflects her life which is a very important part of what makes her great. Yes unhappiness, sadness & feeling hated produced a great bounce back “in your face haters” album but she wouldn’t be human if there wasn’t a cost to that. If it didn’t always remind her of where that music came from, just like any trauma any of us have faced. She wanted to wipe the slate clean and reset, Reputation videos were amazing and over the top as well, just in a very dark palate. She wanted bright, happy and to create a new era free of the snake where colour and joy existed. I don’t think she could have made a better choice for that reset and she wouldn’t be the Taylor we love if she didn’t go all out doing it. She also still had some subtle fun in the lyrics with the media’s perception of her being dramatic or critical about her love life and basically said “you think I’m over the top, well I might as well have fun with it and be more out there then you can imagine”.
Lover has so many amazing songs. Being happy didn’t make her less brilliant it just has for the most part a more positive outlook. No matter where that relationship ended I loved happy Taylor, it produced some incredible songs and one not happy but incredibly beautiful masterpiece that is so true and heartfelt I still tear up every time I listen to it. For good reason Taylor never made a video for this song and doesn’t perform it live except once during COVID for charity and because she knew how many people were feeling that specific type of emotion during those terrible days. I would love to see you react to Soon You’ll Get Better, the song she wrote about how she was feeling when her mother was battling cancer for the second time. I challenge anyone who’s ever lost a loved one or been with them through a battle with not just cancer but any disease (Covid, etc) to make it through this song without tears flowing. For me it was also my mom and we lost her, it was 2011 but listening to this song still brings it back and heals through the connection and understanding of this perfect in its emotional truth song. The Chicks add a beautiful layer on the harmonies and with the instrumentation and I love that she subtly thanked them & nodded to this song with the inclusion of a picture of The Chicks among a wall full of pictures of actual chicks to punctuate the “there’s a lot of cool chicks out there” line in the Me video (their picture is prominently shown over Brandon’s right shoulder when they cut back to the apartment.
Sorry for the novel but I have a lot of strong feelings about how important and amazing Lover is and this song (link below) will never stop filling my heart. Soon You’ll Get Better - ruclips.net/video/2P-uLAQ9FCI/видео.htmlsi=wZCuUNdKd-_2bilA
PS. You really need to react to Miss Americana (Netflix), its key to understanding the real Taylor and what shaped the woman she’s become.
I love the "ME!" song and the video. There will always be people who can't or won't see the fun in things that are meant to be fun. The beauty of Taylor's career is that she makes different types of music and in many genres. Some want to put her into specific boxes that they created for her. There will always be snobs who can't just enjoy things for what they are intended to be. Thanks for the reaction.
I love her for doing these types of things and not taking herself so seriously all the time. Sometimes it's about having fun, not all the songs have to be deep and emotional. She said she wanted to put everything that she liked and defined her in an overwhelming music video (it's on purpose), it's very sad people claim to hate it.
For me the song ME and video has very similar vibes to You Need to Calm Down, which they reference in the beginning French part of this. YNTCD has a different director, but Taylor always has clear ideas about the look and feel of her videos, so that is the common thread even when she's working with different production crews. I don't recall if you've watched that video yet, but it would be a good next song. On that one you may want to look up the list of cameos after you watch the video and then re-watch it. The ME! video is a technicolor explosion and it's awesome, but I have to say that the song itself isn't one I have on repeat. If there was a stripped down acoustic version (maybe there is??), I would definitely be more interested in that.
As far as production of music videos goes, Taylor seemingly has massive budgets for all of her music videos and I've never seen a bad one in the mix. The ones that most newbies really like are ones where she worked with Joseph Khan. He won a Grammy for the Bad Blood mv. He also produced directed Blank Space, Wildest Dreams, Out of the Woods, ...Ready For It?, Look What You Made Me Do, End Game, and Delicate. Thanks to Wikipedia, I think that's all of them. He's worked with lots of other artists as well. In recent years, she has started taking on that producing & directing role herself without sacrificing the concepts or quality of the videos.
On the ME mv Taylor worked with Dave Meyers, who has also worked with a bunch of other A-list artists including Taylor's good friends Selena and Ed Sheeran.
This is such a fun colorful and happy song. They're definately having a good time in this video. Stay safe❤
Usually, if someone doesn't like a Taylor song, they haven't fathomed it yet. I don't mean they don't understand it... I mean they are not able to place themselves in that situation and realize holy cow there's a song that perfectly describes what I'm feeling. A lot of people don't have a good view of themselves, so it's hard to truly jam to ME! without that self-love part at first.
In case no one has mentioned it, Taylor also directed this video. I've always liked this song, and the video is great. ❤
Oh, and most people don't notice this, at the beginning, when he sings about other cool chicks out there, the picture on the wall is the Dixie Chicks.
I love this song! I’ve particularly love it when I am in an energetic, happy mood. 😊
The making of a song video is fantastic. She loves this song! The expression on her face and she played it live at the Era's tour, and everyone sang along and enjoyed it-PRICELESS!.
CRUEL Summercool was supposed to be the first single from this album, but they decided that might be a little inappropriate as it was summer of 2020. This one came out, and was a stark contrast to the Reputation album which had come out before people weren’t ready for it.
You should react to the Grammy museum. She talks about how she wrote and produced 1989 album. Then she performs a few songs live just her and her instruments. It would really help to gain more of an insight of her as a musician.
Or even something off speak now album. She got lots of hate when she was younger and people said she didn’t write her own music. So when she was 18/19 she ended up writing an entire album with ZERO co writers just to prove a point ❤ (but if you react to anything before reputation make sure it’s Taylor’s version we don’t want to support scooter Braun lol)
Watch You Need To Calm Down, Vigilante Sh!t, and Look what you made me do music video
I’m having fun.
She’s not short on money.
It was reminiscent of children’s theater. Colorful. Catchy. Kitten.

Taylor's caliber is so high that this is labelled her 'worst song'. Is it my favourite? No, but it is still really good and fun!
This a great song for young girls and young women to celebrate themselves, and the poppiness provides a cheerful base supporting the message.
Great, honest reaction, as always! Love the song and the video! It’s so fun! Glad you all thought so too!
Lots of nods to many classic films. Sidenote- she bought, restored & got landmark status for the Goldwyn estate (G of MGM studios) - also her brother studied film and handles her sync licenses to tv/film.
Actress Grace Kelly (who learned french in school & moved to a country that spoke French) was from Philadelphia (which is the closest major city that TS grew up). I wonder if her grandparents were an influence with this exposure. She has always been interested in history, museums & vintage shopping - her producer & her bonded over Kennedy history.
At one point she met JFK's brother's widow- and dated the grandson- she was mentioned in a Kennedy memoir. She references literature & history in her music- roaring 20s, 1950s, 90s trends, etc. Basically her music is a time capsule of pop culture from her viewpoint/interpretation.
One of my favourite taylor swift songs don't get why ppl hating on it so much! It's fun and positive 🎉
It is objectively a good song and video. Ifffff it was from a Taylor Swift who entirely disengaged her brain and entered a candy pop trance. I think the perceived “dumbing down” is what most fans object to. If Katy Perry had released the same thing I’d expect it to go with a lot lighter criticism because completely mindless pop songs are her bag.
I think this song was a shocker for fans and caught some immediate flack because this and you need to calm down were the singles released for this album (Taylor is notorious for picking bad singles) and the transition from Reputation (the previous album) to this was JARRING.
People were so annoyed by the “hey kids, spelling is fun” that Taylor actually cut it from the album version of the song. Which is sad because if you saw her perform it live she changed it to match the situation “hey kids, tonight is my birthday!” (iheart jingle ball) “Hey kids, Vegas is fun!” (Billboard music awards) She had a vision for it, but basically got bullied out of playing it, which is kind sad. She’s been on record of saying it was a tonal decision that was made in the studio because she wanted it to not take itself too seriously and want it to read that way.
This and the scale change in the Anti-Hero music video are both fan triggered changes she has made since her move from Big Machine (and thus having more control over changes like this). The only other changes I can remember in her discography are insensitive lyrics from early albums. Picture to Burn being done while still at Big Machine and Better than Revenge being done on the re-record. I wouldn’t put those two changes in the same category as the two previous ones though.
Pls react to out of the woods music video the visuals are amazing they filmed it in new Zealand
Thanks for appreciating this song! Is it her best? No, but like you said it’s a lot of fun (especially singing along to it in your car) and if you’ve seen her „miss Americana“ documentary you also know that she had so much fun writing it. It’s about self-love and always changes my mood for the better when I listen to it. I don’t see how there could be anything wrong with a song like that.
Please reaction Zayyan XODIAC from Indonesia 🇮🇩 🎵 GSOUL - HATE EVERYTHING 🎶
Terima kasih 🙏🏻
I don't know why people hate on ME! so much. It's from the lover album which is more fun and light and upbeat so it fits with the vibe of the album.
Personally I like that Taylor has so many different styles of songs so there is one that fits every occasion. Sometimes I just want to listen to pop songs that make me happy, and this one definitely makes me happy.
I love ME! This one comes on her 7th album, so this far in Taylor has more than proven she can write deep lyrics, with that knowledge it should be safe to assume she wanted this song to be just this: fun and lighthearted.
I also love that while the song is called ME! It not self centered, but does also say "you're the only one of you, that's the fun of you." With so many high standards in society, it's nice to celebrate everyone and what makes them unique. She did say in the recording studio (shown in Miss Americana) that she wanted kids to happily sing the chorus "me he he, I'm the only one of me."
And while I prefer her sad songs, there are just too happy days when I do not want to listen to This is Me Trying, Tolerate It, etc etc...
I'm glad you had fun with this one, comment to you on the next one, guys! ✌🏼😊
This being the LEAD single while Cruel Summer wasn’t a single at all (until 4 years of fan revolt) is a hate crime 😂
Fully, fully agree.
This is also my first time watching this music video, but I have heard of this song before. i thought it was a really fun song. MV may be over the top, but I think it suits the song. And holy smokes, i did not realize, Taylor is super tall 😂💜
she seems to be 5 ' 11" barefoot. And, she likes heels ! Taller than several of the boys she's been with. (Jonas, Lautner, Mayer, Styles)
justice for ME! it is a great song!!
I love this song !!! 💗 and Brendon Uries voice is amazing!!! Love him too !!
This video is so damn cute. I love it. The song makes me smile. Thank you for your reaction gentlemen. 😎
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Mika double reaction to Grace Kelly and Tiny Love ⏳⏳😍😍
I actually love this song and video. 🤷🏻♀️
If you guys love big production and CGI, you should watch Bad Blood (ft Kendrick Lamar) and Out of the Woods music videos!
I’ve always thought this song is catchy as hell, a great silly factor and a great message! I’ve only seen this performed live though and I really liked it! The video…super fun!
The live when she debuted it was awesomely fun, too! ❤
I don't know if you guys would ever consider reacting to Taylor's movies but, if so, I would suggest Miss Americana and the Eras Tour movies as highest priorities.
Also, although you've seen several clips from The Long Pond Sessions, the whole movies is great and you'd hear some songs you've never heard before. The same could be said for the Reputation Stadium Tour (although I don't know how to see that, at the moment) and the 1989 World Tour (which is available for free on RUclips).
And, finally, if you're curious about her early days, you might like her Fearless Tour and Speak Now tours from ages ago. In any case, there is one performance in particular from the Speak Now Tour that you really ought to see for it's over-the-top melodramatic fun:

Thanks! We’re working on that!
Okay this song gets way too much hate. I LOVE this song! it's just so upbeat and self affirming. I really am the only one. There's only ONE of ME! hahahaha
I love this song
I love this song, Just like I love BTS's Dynamite, and I know how deep their songs are. And I love both songs, and they are just pop hits, feel good songs. And there is nothing wrong with that.
To be perfectly honest I LOVE this song. I guess I get the hate because is WAY bubblegummy pop... BUT still, it is an amazing song and the message is also great. so I don't know what to tell ya'... everyone is entitled to their opinion...
also per HER own words, this video was to show "everything that makes her, her" meaning "If you were to open her head up THIS is what would come out." it is all explained in Miss America when they recorded this song. and you can see her GENUINE joy at the idea not just of the song but ALSO of the video she WAS extremely excited.
to answer your question this was the first single from "Lover" and as per usual there are some easter eggs (clues... a Taylor and Swifties tradition thing) that tell us more about the album or possible things to come... in this case when the video came out I believe no one knew the title of the album... so in a scene (on the roof, with the unicorn) you actually see the name of the album. The French-speaking was another clue regarding a small concert that was held IN Paris for the Lover album "The City of Lover...live from Paris)... it was meant to be the kick-off to the tour (I think) before COVID and everything got canceled after so that is the only show (as a concert) of that era. also, there was a picture on the wall of *The Chicks* because they had a collab in the album with a song.
I LOVE this song. it's one of my fav's by her! I'm was surprised to hear some don't
Will never understand why people don’t like this song. I LOVE the music video! Love the colors so much!
My first time for the song too & the lyrics basically sounds like they are telling people to celebrate their originality. To me, this sounds like 'you do you' & accept yourself for who you are. And I don't think the rainbow colors are an accident... just sayin'. This old 71 year old broad loved it.
So the backstory is that Taylor really wanted the video be over the top… and the lyrics and tune to be something that kids wanted to sing and feel good about themselves (her merch said “Can’t spell Awesome without ME”). I hate that people hate it- they didn’t get what her goal was which was fun, appealing for kids (hinting at Mary Poppins, Wizard of Oz, etc). When she explains what her vision is to Brendan in the Miss Americana documentary it is clear what she was going for. I love that she wanted to lift up kids who she saw getting depressed online due to bullying, feeling invisible, etc.
The budget for this one was "yes". There's behind the scenes of her talking about and making this video that's really fun. For me, the video makes this song. It's not a bad song, it's just not a great representation of her skills imo.
This is a great cheery song. People think that things have to be edgy and deep to be good. They are wrong.
In the Making Of video she tells someone that that she wants the video to look like what she sees in her head.
By the way, obviously "Good" or "Bad" is subjective. I hate tomatoes, other people (for some reason) like them.
I personally love the song and video! Alot of the Swifties get too serious and hate on the fun side of Taylor !
Please check out V's recent solo release of Fri(end)s. There is a mv and live. Mv is a must!
I love this song! It’s just a happy vibe!
I think ME was great! The naysayers are wrong!
Only fake swifties don't like this song. They don't like fun songs. This is a great fun song. Not everything has to be serious. People should lighten up.
Totally 👍
Just having fun.... nothing wrong with that.
I never understood the hate for Me!. It's a fun song.
You should check out into out of the woods. And the bts of ot
It's not bad!!! It's awesome!!! ❤❤❤
People who just listen her pop songs like this song will never understand how she is so talented after listening to folklore and evermore albums I knew how she is true artist.
Some of her pop stuff is great, primarily 1989 (except Bad Blood which is as bad as this song) and Reputation.
None of it compares to the intelligent more complex albums she’s done in her 30s
Some of Lover is downright terrible including this song
Well put.
I don't know why people hate on this song so much when "It's Nice to Have a Friend" exists 😂😂
Nooo don't come at its nice to have a friend
We have stay stay stay😂
So true!! 😂
I Love "it's nice to have a friend "😢 lol
Everyone quit hating on Taylor songs. All these songs are great.
@@Ricky48888 oh don't worry. No one hates these songs. They're just having fun
This song is actually my top 5 from Lover album. People just hate being fun.
Such a good song!
I had never seen this, but I thought it was great. I wonder if this song was released when she was transitioning through genres and the old genre fans just weren't on board with the new sound yet? Just speculation, I've no real idea. But colorful and fun.
From what we’ve read in the comments so far, we think you’re right 👍🏻
TBH I liked most of Lover, and I'd adored Reputation. It was just jarring, I'd expected better single-picking with the new label, and the lyrics on this one are so... shallow, it was a real shock to the system. If it'd been a ballad with shallow lyrics I'd have been just as upset, it's not the upbeat nature that threw me. It's a skip for me, my kids like it, and that's fine! I definitely like other peppy poppy songs by her tho!
Best Taylor quote: "I think for ME!" 🤣🤣🤣
ME! isn't my favorite, but it doesn't deserve all the hate. It has a nice positive uplifting message and very catchy repetitive hook, but who am I to judge. Might be adressed to younger generations. The visuals are just stunning. Taylors MVs are always a beautiful extension of her lyrics and her vision. I feel like she cares more about the quality of her art than budget or profit. Remembering the Bad Blood MV, when she spent like 13 mio to have all her friends have cameos and much fun on set.
I mean its business with fun and perfection combined. I have no idea how she does that, but I love her so much for it❤❤❤
We enjoyed it actually! What’s wrong with having a bit of fun now and then? 🙏🏼❤️🙏🏼
This song is great.
I love me they need to get over it
This is a great fun song. Just because its uncomplicated and fun, coming right after the Reputation album, people went into a hissy.
Hi UnholyKat! We think it’s just them having fun with a lighthearted video. The song is just fun!
This is a great song
its catchy, ill watch it
You will find yourself singing this tune in your head ALL DAY! 😅🎵🎶🎉😊
Idk why this song gets so much hate. It's a glitter gel pen song... Just dance and don't be so serious.
I physically can't not dance to it when it comes on.
Just in case you haven't heard the reference yet Taylor said she writes in 3 styles or "pens" Glitter Gel Pen(Bubble gum pop) Fountain Pen and Quill
It's usually pretty easy to distinguish which is which.
This song is my least fave of hers but my fave video. 😆
Amazing video
I think that the biggest criticism towards ME! is the lyrics. The video is really high budget and well done. But Taylor is known for being a brilliant storyteller. When you have a song that is a fan favorite like All Too Well, which is an amazing story in song format, or songs like Peace, This Is Me Trying or older ones like Dear John or The Moment I knew, or recent ones like No Body No Crime, she writes sooooo well that it's odd when in this song the chorus is: Me he he, ho ho hoooo, I'm the only one of me... And the bridge (she is famous for writing the best bridges) in ME! the bridge is: Hey kids, spelling is fun!... Like, People didn't receive the lyrics very well. I love how fun the song is and on Miss Americana we can see a part of the song creation and Taylor was so happy writing it that it makes me feel bad that most people don't like the lyrics. But, it's like you guys said, her "low bar" is still good in comparison to many pop songs out there.
If Swifties somehow genuinely worried that this was suddenly going to become the new norm in her songwriting then I get the reaction - that’s the only way to take the reception it got from Swifties as anything other than an embarrassing overreaction. But how did anyone ever hear that “hey kids, spelling is fun!!!” bridge and not see how tongue in cheek this was?
Brilliant, over the top (in a great way) MV. Love that the argument’s in French (“je suis calm!!!”). If people had seen it as a fun technicolor little side quest - and perhaps a happy, sly little jab at folks (media, Grammy voters) who would take years to properly appreciate Reputation - I feel like the reception would’ve been very different.
This is a great explanation of the issues! I think my biggest problem as a fan of hers was that this was the first single from her new label, and I'd been so, so hoping that the singles chosen would have more meat to them. 'There's a lot of lame chicks out there' is just NOT what I wanted. At all. FWIW I hate the 'sometimes I feel like everybody is a sexy baby' line too, so I'm at least a consistent curmudgeon (but I love Anti-Hero and we all have lyrics that aren't faves!)
I love it!
WTH?!?!?! I LOVE that song AND video!!!!!
Watch Me on bilbord 2019. It´s fantastic
It’s a great video technically and if it weren’t for “Spellingis Fun” the lyrics don’t suck.
