Swift grew up in Pennsylvania, on a Christmas tree farm. That Christmas tree in the video’s spoken scene – which is entirely in French, more on that shortly – is deliberate, too. taylor and post stan account April 26, 2019 Hey kids! Spelling is fun! #MeOutNow #TaylorSwiftTONIGHT #taylorswift /GqA9dqUg8T Others quickly spotted the link to that Scrabble teaser post we mentioned earlier on. One fan dug up her first ever MySpace profile picture – in which she’s wearing a vintage Garland Elementary Spelling Bee Champion t-shirt – when they heard the lyric “spelling is fun”. ME!: I KNOW THAT I WENT PSYCHO ON THE PHONE? #MeOutNow #TaylorSwiftME #TaylorSwift /Eboefqd8fYįitting considering that this is a song all about ‘ME!’ – there are tonnes of references to Taylor Swift’s past sprinkled through the video. LWYMMD: I'm sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now…why? Oh, cause she dead?
Why? ‘Cos she’s dead!” this video features a fully-functioning landline, and the reappearance of another rejected engagement ring. In a reversal of her infamous line “the old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now. It’s not the only nod back to her previous album: there are several other links to ‘Look What You Made Me Do’. #TaylorSwift #taylorswiftme #me /hXiUJOy5gp
It’s the symbolic start of a new era, sure, but also – remember that butterfly stamp on the ‘Reputation’ calendar, by the way? Yep, she’s thought of everything. And then, the snake in question suddenly explodes, transforming into a flurry of butterflies. This time, though it’s a pretty pink creature, slithering across rainbow cobbles less like Nagini, more like if Mary Poppins had a friendly pet python hidden in her bottomless carpet bag.
PANIC AT THE DISCO MUSIC VIDEO WITH KIM KARDASHIAN FULL
In a clear throwback to Swifty’s previous persona – for her sixth album ‘Reputation’ the star referenced Kim Kardashian calling her a snake, and embraced the insult as she went full pantomime villain – the ‘ME!’ video opens with yet another snake.
Some you’ll find out right away, and some will take a minute to reveal their meaning (omg why am I talking like a sorcerer)”. “Okay, regarding Easter Eggs,” Taylor Swift posted on Vevo. Some so-called ‘guilty pleasures’ and bands have no place today, and should stay, unwelcomed, in the past.ĭo you have a story you’d like to share? Get in touch by emailing your views in the comments below.And so naturally, the visual is crammed full with hidden gems, hints, and symbols. So, before we bring back organ-damaging skinnies and crank up the emo back-catalogue, let’s remember: just because a song that brings back memories of when you were young is a guilty pleasure, doesn’t mean it’s not extremely harmful. Yes, maybe *all* of these men were scorned by lovers, but – regardless – the sad reality is that scores of teens were led to believe that calling a woman a ‘whore’ for enjoying sex was cool because the singers in our favourite bands did it.Īnd it’s a notion that still sadly exists, even today. Leona Lewis confirms pregnancy with stunning baby bump photo: ‘Can’t wait to meet you’ Panic’s lead singer told us lying was the most fun girls could have without taking their clothes off – with cheating girls ‘exchanging body heat’ in the backseat of someone else’s car, while still boasting he was a ‘better f**k’. Seems pretty shallow to me.įall Out Boy spoke of just being notches in girls’ bedposts, and spying on lovers from closets – asking for ‘sympathy in the form of crawling into bed’ with them.
In another song, they explain how there’s always a ‘whore’ in every ‘circle of friends’, while in Curse of Curves they sing that her ‘bone structure screaming’ for unwarranted touching – yet they still seek ‘shallow as a shower’ women who are ‘provocative and talkative’. It’s absolutely dripping with rape-culture, misogyny and victim-blaming. Similarly, Cute Is What We Aim For (whose lead singer sported possibly the most iconic side-parted fringe of the era) feature a song called The Fourth Drink Instinct on their sex-saturated debut album that speaks of a ‘gentleman’ having a one-night stand with an underaged girl, with a fake ID, who’s too intoxicated to ‘understand’. How much of this music has affected my – and much of my generation’s – perception of sex? (Picture: Emmie Harrison-West)
