Alternately, what the hell is this flaming pile of crap she just dropped? She's completely crossed over from self-referential to full blown parody at this point. I think she's about to experience a Gaga-esque massive reduction in her fanbase.

good. it's about time. her drama-queen antics and repertoire have been annoying from the start.

Have you heard this new single off her upcoming "first pop album"? Its literally a song about what its like to be Taylor Swift. She is under the impression that people want to listen to a song about what its like to be Taylor Swift -- minus the parts about being rich, famous, beautiful, et cetra and solely contained to dealing with "the haterz". She has completely, completely missed the mark of what her target audience wants, and if there's anything Taylor has undeniably been good at, its been reading her target audience.
And then the music video is insanely cheesy. Its that "we can't figure out a concept so we're going to make 20 0:12 videos and put them all together complete with 20 different outfits" motif you've seen a trillion times.
Good God.

the horror!!

the horror!!
I am mostly just worried that she's going to be dead in a bathtub within a year. I hope someone on Team Swift does an intervention soon. There is clearly rampant drug abuse here.

can't wait to hear relaxer's comments on that one.

It's terrible. I'm totally in the tank for Taylor Swift, unabashedly, but that song is awful. Its not catchy, its thematically far from her brand, its downright cloying. I have no idea what in holy hell she's doing.

Did I miss something?
I'm not being flippant about drug use: I legitimately think she's on drugs.
-

Word on the street is she doesn't fuck at all.
Either one would explain her inability to keep a man for more than a month.

darn, those words, on the street

I was anticipating his flippant comments in anticipation of another celebrity death.

In related news....
In its earnings press release (http://ir.elizabetharden.com/phoenix.zhtml?c=98237&p=irol-newsArticle&ID=1959323&highlight=), the Elizabeth Arden said: "While the Company had expected weaker sales comparisons due to the lower level of fragrance launch activity in fiscal 2014 versus fiscal 2013, the decline in sales of celebrity fragrances, particularly the Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift fragrances, was steeper than anticipated

So you're saying I need to stock up on Wanderlust before they stop bottling it? Thanks for the heads up.
-
Yeah the new song blows but I'm not a huge fan of hers. When I hear her music, I just can't separate that country-western gunk from the pure pop she now purportedly purveys.
That said, I think Earl is being pretty disingenuous about being offended (which I assume is a goof anyway). Hard to take anything seriously from a guy whose early oeuvre revolved entirely around raping women.

I have a lot of horrible, horrible things to say about that song and video, but racist it is not. I mean, come on.

Not great, Tay, not great.

I like the new song and Taylor Swift and I will try not to be the one in the sex tape.

Oh, turns out the joke was on you, dear Jules.
1989
Reputation
Lover
Folklore
Evermore
The re-recording to own her masters, which also gave us the 10 minute version of All Too Well.
She owned the last decade, and not even the slightest bit bat shit crazy. A lesson in business acumen. I'm just glad I avoided having a 10 minute song written about me.....

Wait, what? Someone should inform this apparent idiot that sports reporters are #1 not fans of the home team or any team and #2 sports reporters and anchors are not the same. Of course, he's a NW grad. What a stupid industry.
“I would say this position’s no different than being a sports journalist who’s a fan of the home team,” says West. “I just came from Phoenix, and all of the anchors there were wearing Diamondbacks gear; they want the Diamondbacks to win.
