the wildest dreams controversy was people creating drama for the sake of it - if they knew anything about cinema history and what inspired the video, they wouldn't be out here saying it is "glorifying colonialism". totally agree that it's a beautiful video and deserves the most.

I mean let’s not act like those type of movies didn’t used to glorify colonialism. Even if these movies are part of cinema history doesn’t mean they weren’t problematic. “Wildest Dream” video is a masterpiece and doesn’t glorify colonialism, but a lot of those old white rom coms placed in Africa have a pro apartheid feel to them. She could’ve reference another type of genre like western or historical drama but whatever. My point is that there’s a valid reason for being against these types of movies, even if Taylor doesn’t deserve the hate from the mistakes these movies made, she could’ve reference any other film or film genre. Idk, just a POC point of view

Also Style is god tier for me! The faux home movie shots, the driving, the backless dress, the misty forest, the symbolism of the mirror shards--all incredible choices. The subtle sense of mystery is what makes it so compelling and so sexy. I was very meh on it in 2015 when the video first came out, but I've really come around on it; I think setting it in an obvious mansion would just turn it into Blank Space redux and Style is such a perfect song that it deserves its own unique visual identity.

I still don't understand how she thought that releasing Me! would be a good idea. Her instincts are usually pretty good.

The shade you threw on Delicate MV was personal for me. Agree with everything else more or less tho

The gold dress in Speak Now is the best dress she has ever worn at any of her concerts/tours and I will not hear any other opinion. It is absolutely iconic.

"Here's the truth from my red lips" and she doesn't have red lips. If you're complaining that they messed up her lip color, you're wrong I think. I think it was intentional.

I Bet You Think About Me is the single most baffling thing she's done since the Lover era. Forgettable song, cringey lyrics, completely unnecessary video, Miles Teller. Blondie, why? The Very First Night was right there. SHE WAS RIGHT THERE. My wish list for your videos: why Lover made Taylor Swift fans want to flee the country, best and worst award show looks, does Joe Alwyn actually exist, your top 5 artists besides Taylor, possible aesthetics Taylor could use in future eras, are Folklore and Evermore REALLY fictional (because I'm 99% sure she's still mostly writing about herself and tweaking things just enough to deflect attention away from her personal life).

I truly hope she keeps it up, i much prefer it!

Delicate was great! You were biased about it.

Back to december was WAYYY better than the cheesy Mine video

Blank Space and Shake It Off videos will always, always, always be ICONIC to me as it was my introduction to Taylor Swift. And what an introduction really!! That massive production of Blank Space, the sassiness and the exact point that video made, which she intended to make with that song.... just awesomeness!! The hilarity, sass and the pure fun of Shake It Off is just amazing! Girl, A cultural reset you say.... EXACTLY, DEFINITELY!! Same with the Look What You Made Me Do video! Oh My God, again the sass and the whole 'in your face' thing and just the whole awesomeness everywhere! Amazing! Epic! No doubt a cultural reset! I agree with your opinion on Ready For It? video.... seriously what is it?!! Stupidity is what it is!!😂😂 It is a really good song actually, good bop but the video.... such a shame, really!! And imagine watching it for the first time after watching the sass that is LWYMMD, ughhh! I love 22! Obviously! Who doesn't?!! I agree that the Delicate dance routine is really weird and awkward. The only impressive thing, for me, in that video is when Taylor slides off the hood of the car and gets into that perfect gymnastic pose ( sorry, I don't remember what it's called). Dancing is not at all Taylor's strong suit and it shows every time she does it. She is a hard worker and rehearses her ass off for the tours and it looks fine on stage but she should avoid it always. And she does avoid it actually.... apart from the small sassy dance routine in LWYMMD and a couple of steps here and there, I don't think there's any major dancing in any of the music videos. But with Delicate, she felt adventurous I guess.😂😂😂 I think the I Bet You Think About Me video is popular because: Blake Lively directed it, Taylor is frolicking around with kids and being cute, Taylor is wearing an absolutely stunning 'Wedding gown' AND the amount of Red with combination/contrast of White used in the video.... there, those are the things that made Swifties go gaga over it. Otherwise it's pointless. With Lover, I basically like that song a lot. So, for me, its video is also dreamy and 'oh wow, so cute, adorable, awesome'. But I agree with your opinion here, it's too much colour, brightness, naive and childish. I agree.

Lol you and I are 100% simpatico as it pertains to Lover hatred. It is seriously the ‘wine stain’ on the shirt she ‘can’t wear anymore’. Lover not only was such a jarring thing sonically, but somehow brought all the Karens into the fandom that we now have to deal with. Lover is the soundtrack that Karen listens to on the way to Marshalls to make a return and scream at the manager.
