bad

I don't understand how this is 80s inspired.

whew i was worried we wouldnt maximize taylor swift clicks but now both @sputnikmusic and @sputniknewsic are covered

I liked it because I'm a piece of shit.

Huh.

At least Taylor's other songs had catch to them, this shit is bland.

I've liked worse t swizzle songs

"Country"/pop singer

flawless

Song sucks as expected

song sucks and I love Taylor Swift

inspired by 80's music or music of the 90's including 1989?

Not that anyone really would care but I just made a playlist of hit songs from 1989 and... I really don't hear it

iiiiiit's not THAT bad though...

def gunna be aoty every year.

this doesnt sound 80s at all was she even born then fuckin poser

and then Earl Sweatshirt tweeted that this video is offensive and perpetuates black stereotypes. lulz.

When she said "sick beat" I gagged a little

I really like that horn line though. I can't get it out of my head. I'd like to hear someone sample it into a better song.

Facepalmed at "haters gonna hate hate hate hate hate"

i mean... seriously???

better than that 22 crap

I really like that horn line though. I can't get it out of my head. I'd like to hear someone sample it into a better song.

urgghh, been a lot of really mediocre pop singles released this last month

and its hard to dance with the devil on your back so shake it off

I just....I don't know. I liked Red a lot and was hoping she'd do more songs like State of Grace but this is just what?

Chorus is kinda decent, apart from the lyrics of course.

10/10 will preorder album four times.

Cue sowing season

Earl Sweatshirt is a moron.

Loved it.

Cheesus Chrysler that video.

she gats me evary taim whit her sangs

lol what the fuck is this

Earl Sweatshirt is a moron. [2]

Wait wasn't she country?

"this doesnt sound 80s at all was she even born then fuckin poser"

she was born in 1989. which is likely the reason why the album is called 1989.

Bullshit. It's called 1989 because Streetcleaner was released in 1989.

it's catchy. what more does pop music need??

Godflesh influence?

To not be a major disappointment

it would scare the listeners

10/10 would listen again (already have listened again 10+ times). This and coffee are currently getting me through my hang over.

Verm, you seem to have an obsession with death by fire.

Not that TS doesn't deserve it for that pile of garbage.

Earl Sweatshirt is a moron. [3]

And so is everyone that constantly shouts 'cultural appropriation'

This sounds like Gwen Stefani solo material than anything.

This video was definitely made just to show that Swift sucks at literally everything but she gives exactly zero shits

Best useless pop star ever

I think the fact that she doesn't care at all and embraces the fact that shes a dork makes me actually enjoy the video/song

Words cannot describe how much I hate this woman

Earl Sweatshirt is a moron. [4]

but this still sucks

who is earl sweatshirt [123]

vid was lame song was worse.

the butthurt is hilarious
it's simple and catchy because it's pop music you turdburglars. Sure, her lyrical depth has taken a nosedive but did you really expect a different direction after her last album?

^ I disagree. Pop can be simple, catchy AND lyrically, instrumentally and thematically intriguing. Its a cop out to write that Taylor Swift - or any pop artist for that matter - should escape musical criticism simply because the genre to which they belong is popular. You say her last album was lyrically poor, why does that help mitigate (if anything it should magnify) wider criticism?

I REFUSE TO BE CALLED A TURDBURGLAR THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I prefer the title "poopthief."

this is absolute shite tbh

Swift - a spoiled brat, just like the rest of 'em.

Pop can be simple, catchy AND lyrically, instrumentally and thematically intriguing.
Yes, it can be. But more often than not, it isn't all of these things, to the point where I'm saying if 99.7999994% of top 40 radio hits are terrible and mindless then why are people outraged that Taylor motherfucking Swift's latest single lacks depth?
Would you go into a theater and watch a Michael Bay movie and walk out similarly outraged? Would you order a Bud Lite and expect something other than carbonated water?

hot girls with annoying voices are the most confusing thing ever

I REFUSE TO BE CALLED A TURDBURGLAR THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

"You're a racist ma'am"

- Terrance and Phillip

@HomerPimpson I'm not sure people are absolutely OUTRAGED that its shit, they watched the video, commented about it being a piece of trash and moved on with their lives. And no, I wouldn't watch a Michael Bay movie/buy Bud Lite in the first place because it cost something called time and money, in contrast this single costs - relatively speaking - neither. People watch it with relatively low expectations prior, then when the experience is over in a short space of time they comment quickly and move on with their lives. There's no prolonged 'butthurt' here and I question whether the argument that a product meeting low expectations with adequacy is really as staunch a defence as you think it is?

Or you can be like me and listen to this song on repeat 100 times.

I feel like we can safely stop calling Taylor Swift a country artist at this point.
Why is our culture currently so goddamn obsessed with the 1980s? That musical in 2012, countless allusions in music, and constantly Tumblr-reblogged GIFs of movies of the time period. The eighties were an awkward time. Can we not admit that? Let's put down the Rubiks cube.

bad[2]

Earl sweatshirt is a moron[6]

Aj we're going through this revamped 80's period possibly because the people who were kids back then are older, and are now the ones picking and choosing what gets played nowadays, exposing the "younger ones" to the 80's.

The 80's were awkward, but I'm okay with it surprisingly

I don't get all the hate, I can jam out to this all day

Song is annoying as hell

To hell with this song and this whole twerkfest thing.

Catchy as fook.

Pleb staying true to his name

I can't help it if a song gets stuck in my head :[

If this shit got stuck in my head I'd get a fucking lobotomy right away

I had an Icepick Lobotomy earlier today, CC style m/

needs more riffs tbh

This is so fucking atrocious

album will probably be a hard 1.5

I enjoyed the odd time signatures and ethereal vocals.
Album will probably be a hard 4.5/5.

which is apparently said to be inspired by
