Taylor is having a great time
RavenGlamDVDCollector30 October 2016
Clearly having a great time, Taylor is taunting her opposition. And looks and sounds great doing so. I still prefer her earlier work, though, LOVE STORY, now you're talking, this one ain't nowhere near, but okay, good one. Just nix on the rapping bit next time, you have a perfect singing voice, dear, that style is for lowlifes who don't have a pedigreed throat like yours.

The video shows her copying lots of styles, most notably the generic hip-hopper girlz from da hood, a very obvious and totally hilarious Lady Gaga look which ya just gotta see, and then there's quite delightfully some saying hello to Avril Lavigne thrown in as well. All in all, a fun-filled display with the rose showing her thorns and getting in her kicks. Taylor the queen is defending her castle from a position of strength, look at her, she is as fit as can be, supple body, her flesh as pure as snow, the voice is absolutely unblemished, the girl is a walking advertisement for pure living.

But but but like I said, LOVE STORY it ain't. She's showing teeth here, it's being MEAN in answer to other people's MEAN. I understand, Taylor, I really do, but just ignore 'em, sail on like a graceful swan, keep it pure all-American, and give us more cute stuff like there in the beginning.

Love your spirit!

You're not a rapper Taylor

Warning: Spoilers
You have enough talents in other areas of music, so stay away from hip-hop please. This is the music video for Taylor Swift's single from last year "Shake it Off". I have to say apart from the rapping parts mentioned earlier, this is a successful 4 minutes. Nice little video with some good dancing, but also some goofiness which lets it not appear pretentious and Swift's voice is spot-on again. The chorus is pretty catchy in this one too. All in all, I certainly enjoyed it, but this is not really a surprise as this was directed by Mark Romanek and he is among my favorite directors currently working. Of course, this is a completely different project than the outstanding movies "Never Let Me Go" and "One Hour Photo", but I believe he succeeded as well in terms of music video direction. Recommended.

So Uplifting!

From a fan from day 1, I couldn't be happier with this. Mean helped so many people who got bullied and Shake It Off is another form of that! From personal high school experience with people who have been hurtful to me Shake It Off is my go to song. I Love Taylor Swift SO MUCH! She's helped me through all 4 years and I actually made graduation invites for her to come to my graduation! I've made a instagram page soley for my graduation (crystalskies6.14.15) just to help Taylor see she's invited!I've sent gifts, invitations, holiday cards, and seen her 3 times on tour and never met her! SHAKE IT OFF IS AMAZING TAYLOR WITH OR WITHOUT A GRAMMY!!! LOVE YOU SO MUCH GIRL<33333333333333333333333

Down at the station its always dark if you're working at dusk. Richard boast (plays the riddler in this). Climbs out of a red cube covering his mouth (and nearby, clampton lowers his purple buick window using an isolated car battery.) But that's what they all do, they wait until Richey can be seen, and then try to drive him downtown to stand in front of the decider (the one who's tears run down into their own precisionly prepared liquid.
