  • Taylor Swift just released her video for Look What You Made Me Do at the VMAs..........the fourth biggest circle jerk of the year. Can the "next Eddie Van Halen" withstand the criticism of MMS? She most likely won't see this so yea, I'm gonna guess "yes".

    There's a quote attributed to Freddie Mercury: "We are in a golden age of music. There will be a time when technology becomes so advanced that we'll rely on it to make music rather than raw talent...and music will lose its soul."

    Kim Kardashian started calling Taylor a snake and her fans proceeded to hound Taylor and her fans with snake emojis. She even brought it back up on Aug 16th(National Snake Day) and mocked Taylor again, only to wake up a few days later with Taylor posting snake related things on her profiles.
    The car crash was to symbolize Katy Perry who arrived at the 2014 VMAs in a similar vehicle. However, she's holding a Grammy, and Katy hasn't actually won one yet.

    • @hellywatermelonsmellinfell3436
      @hellywatermelonsmellinfell3436 6 лет назад +13

      That's not a Maserati, it's a Bugatti. Katy drove to the 2014 VMAs in a gold one. Katy was also styled in such a way many times. And an old video of hers shows a car crash with her inside in slow motion. There is no way that 'Red' would fit into that section of the video because it's not about love, him, or a dead end street. It's a crash that the media only cares about.
      She then proceeds to act like Katy and Kim while dressed as said character. But suuuure. It was all about an obscure Red reference that had nothing to do with the video at all.

Like Taylor Swift is in no way my cup of tea when it comes to music, but I know she can at least do better than this.

    There is this thing called the millennial woop. It's basically a sound that is blatantly used in almost all popular songs these days. It's used so that all songs sound familiar and catchy when you first hear them. Listening to Taylor in the past I've noticed she abuses it a lot. When I heard it being used constantly in this song I knew she wasn't "shedding an old skin".

    I honestly do not see much of a "change" in Taylor that everyone is freaking out over. Besides having more "darker" visuals ,which I would compare to 2000's Lady Gaga and no darker than that, and a different tone in her music, I can't see it any more different than that...The subjects and lyrics in this song have all been used in her previous works, besides the more recent events in her life she references which at the end of the day is the same petty bullshit...In my opinion, everyone in this day and age judges music mostly by the look and aesthetic more than the music itslef and so, "ooooo she's wearing a studied leather jacket in her video now with zombies and such. She must be really edgy now." Yeah no. There is way more that she could have done to truly convey a more darker tone and style this song but, it's just the same junior high esque drama crap but with a halloweeny vibe.

In this situation it's a real feud and both Kanye and Kim are in the wrong (when are they ever in the right) but this has got to be the only time in the last 7 years when a feud between celebrities isn't staged to sell products.

      The staged feuds also rob everyone of the satisfaction of it getting resolved because it’s almost expected to happen in a week or looses attention before it can and also there’s the lack of respect between them whether it’s staged or not
      What I like to compare it to is the 30 year Metallica vs Megadeth feud, they traded blows but always kept a level of respect for each other, and then once they finally ended it there was a huge level of satisfaction that it’s been resolved (that pic of James and Dave hugging on stage at the big four show is still one of my favorites)
      Something I’m also hoping that’ll happen someday between Phil and Vinny when they finally bury their feud

    To me it feels like Taylor is sending us mixed messages, especially to her fans. I applaud her greatly for standing up to sexual harassment and filing a lawsuit. Truly thank you for bringing it to the forefront. But then she is continuing to write songs about revenge and getting back at 'the mean girls'. So one minute she is showing us that she is standing up for women's rights and the next she is putting woman down, in a scathing way at that.

    At 18:45 you touch on something that really bothers me. I refuse to ever pay for a "meet and greet package". I think that anyone who will charge money for you to be in their presence thinks way too much of themselves. I went to a Testament concert and they had "VIP packages" but here's the thing. They were walking around outside talking to their fans who didn't get the package because they respect their fans. I got to shake Chuck Billy's hand and the rest of the band was totally approachable to me when I didn't even get the package. Also, their package came with all kinds of exclusive merchandise which means they weren't necessarily charging for fans to meet them. Totally class act, not like Taylor, but perhaps they haven't made enough money to be corrupted.

    • @BecomeTheKnight
      @BecomeTheKnight  6 лет назад +2

      I can see charging for a VIP package, but I'm still with you. At the end of the day you need to be a real person and meet the real people who appreciate your work. HERE'S THE THING: when you get to the level of fame of a Taylor Swift a great number or your fans can be........over-zealous. So that can have an effect on you meeting your fans in person. Look up Beatlemania if you're not familiar.

    The video is about how the media and public view her.
    1-first scene is Taylor dying. The last video we saw of her was "out of the woods" and the girl from that video is now "dead" signifying the end of the 1989 era
    2-The diamonds and bathtub refer to a quote she said a while ago when she said "the media thinks I sit in a bath tub full of pearls and cry" also you can see a single dollar bill. She recently won a dollar from a sexual assault trial against a DJ who groped her.
    2-the next scene is her being the queen of snakes. After Kim K posted the video of Kanye and Taylor's phone call she got called a snake by everyone primarily on social media.
    3-next you see her in a car crash and posing for paparazzi afterwards. This can mean that the media and public deemed her a "fame whore". Also you can see a Grammy and a red flag on the building because she had a shocked face when her album RED didn't win a Grammy
    4-She is seen in a cage wearing orange while looking glamorous. There are guards around the cage. Prisoners wear orange. It shows how she can look like she's living in luxury but in reality she has no freedom
    5- she is robbing a streaming company. If you look behind her a screen says "Stream Co." After she took her music off Spotify so they can pay all songwriters fairly she got hate and was called "money hungry"
    6-We see her in a room of women who look like robots. The media (and Demi Lovato) claimed that the only people "allowed" in Taylor swifts "squad" are skinny models
    7-she's with dancing with 8 men behind her. She has 8 ex boyfriends. They are wearing "I

    To ride the storm, to an empire of the clouds
    To ride the storm, they climbed aboard their silver ghost
    To ride the storm, to a kingdom that will come
    To ride the storm, and damn the rest, oblivion
    Royalty and dignitaries, brandy and cigars
    Related giant of the skies, you hold them in your arms
    The millionth chance they laughed, to take down his majesty's craft
    To India they say, magic carpet float away, an October fateful day
    Mist is in the trees, stone sweats with the dew
    The morning sunrise, red before the blue
    Hanging at the mast, waiting for command
    His majesty's airship, the r101
    She's the biggest vessel built by man, a giant of the skies
    For all you unbelievers, the Titanic fits inside
    Drum rolled tight, a canvas skin, silvered in the sun
    Never tested with the fury, with a beating yet to come
    The fury yet to come
    In the gathering gloom, a storm rising in the west
    The coxswain stared into the
    We must go now, we must take our chance with fate
    We must go now, for the politicians he can't be late
    The airship crew awake for thirty hours at full stretch,
    But the ship is in their backbone, every sinew, every inch
    She never flew at full speed, a trial never done
    A fragile outer cover, her achilles would become
    An achilles yet to come
    Sailors of the sky, a hardened breed
    Loyal to the king, and an airship creed
    The engines drum, the telegraph sounds
    Release the cords that bind us to the ground
    Said the coxswain, sir, she's heavy, she'll never make this flight
    Said the captain, damn the cargo, we'll be on our way tonight
    Groundsmen cheered in wonder, as she backed up from the mast
    Baptising with her water, from the ballast fore and aft
    Now she slips into our past
    Feeling the wind as it blows you
    Feeling the beams as they pass you along
    Watching the channel below you
    Lower and lower, into the night
    Lights are passing below you
    Northern France, asleep in their beds
    Storm is raging around you
    A million to one, that's what he said
    Reaper standing beside you
    Wind inside cuts to the bone
    Panicked to make a decision
    Experienced men, asleep in their graves
    The cover is ripped and she's flooding
    Rain is flooding into the hold
    Bleeding to death and she's falling
    Lifting gas is draining away
    We're down lads, came a cry, bow plunging from the sky
    Three thousand horses silent as the ship began to die
    The flares to guide her path ignited at the last
    The empire of the clouds, just ashes in our past
    Just ashes at the last
    Here lie their dreams as they stand in the sun
    On the ground where they built, and the engines they run
    To the moon and the stars, now what have we done?
    Oh the dreamers may die, but the dreams live on
    Dreams live on
    Dreams live on
    Ooh
    Now a shadow on a hill, the angel of the east
    The empire of the clouds may rest in peace
    And in a country churchyard, laid head to the mast
    1840 souls, who came to die in france

    So I too consider myself somewhat of a music snob. I've been studying music since I was 7 and have built a good ear for musicality and musicianship. My girlfriend is a music fan, but not quite a musician. She LOVES LOVES LOVES Taylor. She has also made me appreciate Taylor as a musician, though I'm still not a fan of her music. I will gladly admit that there are a few songs from 1989 that are exceptional pop songs. Anyways, I've listened to this song 3 or 4 times at this point, and I came to the EXACT SAME conclusion that you just did my friend. That chorus is just odd, it doesn't suit the song musically, it doesn't make sense from someone who is supposed to be this musical savant, and honestly, it's annoying as fuck! Also, totally agree that this is a pretty weak showing for someone we all know can write a catchy damn tune. On the flip side, you can't knock her fans who, as of last I saw, have watched the video on RUclips nearly 60 million times already, and it hasn't even been 48 hours. If this is what an "ok" song is doing, if her second single is a better song...hopefully RUclips has its servers updated and ready to go...

    Hahahhah best video ever! I loved "angry Mike" so damn much! BTW, I love TS and her new song, but you're absolutely right, she needs to stop with that feud crap and grow up. You surprised me a lot, I didn't know that you have to buy her stuff to get tickets! WTF? That's disgusting AF. Anyway, great video sweetie! Rock on! Release some music!

    Why are some of your videos in higher than 1080p and some aren't? Is it just a youtube processing thing? If I come back tomorrow can I watch this video in 1440p? Also frame rates. Also you say Said really weirdly when you say Right Said Fred.

    Funny you say that because I didn't hear Right Side Fred "I'm too sexy" ether. After I was told it sounded like that song I could kind of hear it but on my own I couldn't.
