The Taylor Swift Thread

[Toups]

 

It also has a chance to beat Shake If Off's first week sales which is surprising to me.

Yeah, Tay-Tay's playing the victim card ("Oh, you want to speak to the old Taylor?  Well, she's dead!") and I, for one, am not having it.  Who (aside from loser boyfriends and Black people) has abused you, girl?  And how, exactly, did they abuse you?

 

It's as if she thinks her reputation has been ruined; and I'm like Thelma Harper, asking, "What reputation, you tramp?!?".

 

'Nuff said?

Taylor Swift's 'Look What You Made Me Do' Lyric Video Smashes One-Day Record

 

I was wrong above - the lyric video got 19 million views not 18 million.  Unbelievable how it beat the previous record by 10 millions views! Crazy.

I find everything about this & her embarrassing! Always!

[AdelaideCate007]

I don't care about the song one way or another really but the music video is [!@#$%^&*] great.

[Toups]

Holy crap! What a video!!!  So fucking brilliant!  Loved, loved, loved all those references to what people have said negatively about her, stuff that happened in the past, and of course all the old Taylors.  I'll try to collect all references I can find.

Is it possible for me to like a music video much more than the song itself?

The video is awesome. 

[Toups]

 

I'm in that boat. The song isn't even in my top 50. LOL  I think this might be my favourite video of hers.

[YRBB]

She just created another video that will take her beyond a billion views, I think. 

 

My favorite part was all the old Taylors. The snake serving tea (and I hate snakes). Here lies Taylor's reputation. The "shut up!" 

 

It's brilliant marketing taking all the stuff people say about her and using it to make coins. Clearly, it bothers her, but she'll make dozens of millions from it, so that should help. She's got EVERYONE in the world talking about her with this song and video. 

 

I do hope we don't see yet another 'experimental' album later this year though.

 

ETA: I watched the video, refreshed, and the view count went up by half a million. Insane.

Agree with @YRBB. Preawards tonight viewing was low, 6 numbers. Now..it is in the millions.

[Toups]

17 million as of this posting.....17 million in about 12 hours. Holy shit! It could hit 30+ million.

39 million views in 24 hours.  Took down Adele's vevo record, took down Psy's Youtube Record, and there's a chance it took down Youtube's own Youtube record.  The video possibly hit 40 million.  We'll know the results when Youtube releases the stats.   Insanity.

[Toups]

New YouTube record with 43.2 million.  Unbelievable.  Very well deserved.  It's her best one.

An admittedly very fun mashup of LWYMMD and Britney's Toxic! Worth a look:

And here's a list of all the records the song has broken. 

 

It's currently at 79 million views!

That was really good!  The chorus was sped up and the interpolation of "I'm Too Sexy" was replaced by Toxic's beats - that helped a lot because the chorus in "Look" is the biggest problem.   Both videos were directed by Joseph Kahn so that was a nice tie-in.   I only wish the video was in full size instead of the small phone screen.
