It ain't no Shakepear's Sister.

[WillieMorgan]

In a nutshell, no.

Taylor Swift is far from the worst modern day singer/pop artist but, truth to tell, nothing about that song inspires or excites me in the slightest. There's worse music out there also.

Once again, your one-man mission to turn the CBR board and it's members into fans of vapid pop acts isn't gonna work. Do you even pay attention to the music appreciation threads on here?

That's not my objective. I just wanted to share that Taylor Swift's new single is dominating the charts worldwide.

I'm not a fan of the song and the music video to be honest. I like her past songs more.

Why though? I would never go as far as to say that there aren't any people on here with a liking for Taylor Swift's music but I feel that they'd be in the minority. I don't mean to be rude but I can't imagine that most members on here could care less how some throwaway pop song is doing in the charts. We already know that Taylor Swift is a popular artist.

I admire your enthusiasm for pop music and culture. I genuinely do. You seem to misread the interests and tastes of the board sometimes though. I'd recommend you take a browse through the Classic Rock, Metal, Jazz, Hip-Hop & R&B threads. They'll give you a much better idea of the general music tastes and how they're represented here on CBR. Stay cool RLAAMJR .

[Qwerty]

I like it better every time I hear it. I can't wait till the new album comes out and I love the video

[WestPhillyPunisher]

Pfft! Just another modern day pop tart who put publicity first, music second.

[PaulBullion]

I am trying to figure out behind the thought process that combined a desire to be more "edgy" with sampling "Too Sexy For My Shirt" by Right Said Fred. The result is both pretentious and ridiculous. Possibly the most annoying piece of garbage pop Swift ever released.

[PaulBullion]

Also: The song uses a line frequently used by abusers of all kinds and tries to make it cute and sexy. Which makes it the most morally bankrupt song since Goffin & King's "He hit me, and it felt like a kiss."

[Mister Mets]

Oh yeah. I think it's excellent. It's arguably morally repugnant in the absolving of personal responsibility, but that makes it fascinating.

[Darkspellmaster]

My issues with her stem from the idea of playing victim. And really?! He hit me and it felt like a kiss. I'm assuming that the later parts of the album will cover probably at least one dig at Katy Perry, one dig at Nicki M., another at probably Calvin, and possible one at Tom Hiddleston or the comic fans etc. that screwed up their romance, or some such utter tripe. It seems to be a pattern with her. She'll be upset over something that she can play with for a song, and then make it seem like she was the one that was wronged.

I agree with Mr. Mets on this, there's a sense of absolving moral responsibility. Not only is that skeezy, but it does nothing to counter the "Madonna" complex thing she puts out as well. "I'm a good girl, these others wronged me." Or the issue that she takes with anyone that cuts off their relationships. I get a strong feeling that this album may have the eye of Marvel studios in the future, in that they won't want a song about one of their more popular characters right now getting lambasted. That's where I think this could go.

Honestly, I'm liking Kesha's newest album a lot more. There are some strong emotional songs on there, but also some really fun and sentimental ones, and the girl has stronger singing chops then Swift.

Side note, even her songs written for others seem to be weird in some cases with the lyrics. Not that there aren't other writers that write weird songs, but it seems consistent with her.

You don't listen to a lot of rap, do you?

[Kirby101]

I couldn't get through the whole thing before stopping it.

It's like eating fake ice cream from Mcdonald's.

[PaulBullion]

That's racist.

[Mister Mets]

That's racist.

Eminem's written plenty of morally bankrupt songs.
