I'm getting major Chris Gaines vibes from this whole thing honestly.

Heard the new track on Radio 1 as I was commuting this morning, and it's bad. I really enjoyed the awkward silence afterwards with Nick Grimshaw bluntly saying "I don't like it at all". Excellent.
Shame though, as I quite enjoyed 1989.

Yes we do. Katy straight up explained everything. Unless you don't believe her for some reason.
Also, she exploits and plays up being a victim, and she gets paid doing it. Which is why everyone hates her.
She's a perpetual victim:
- Katy Perry.
- Kanye.
- That Spotify Apple shit. (look who's back??)
- Calls out Nicki Minaj for "pitting women against each other" even though she wasn't even talking about her.
- Watch her milk that shit the year after the Kanye incident: https://vimeo.com/85828206
It's her business model. Everything she does is calculated af.
The fact I'm even here talking about her means it worked.

So this is what happens when an A list singer releases a diss track.

Kanye was a cunt for interrupting her win and making it all about himself. Criticising Swift for "milking" that is fucking ridiculous.
Also, calling out Swift for acting the victim and citing Kanye as evidence is hilariously ironic.
He didn't make it about himself tho. He made about Beyonce. An artist far more deserving.
This is the first Taylor Swift song I've listened to and I don't like it :/
Does she normally sound like this? Sounds like someone doing a really really really bad Lorde impression.

Katy Perry is awful garbage that uses the homosexual community as an accessory to make herself more attractive to straight men.
I'm pretty sure Dark Horse isn't even a song, it's just noise.
Let's not let the fact that this new Tay single blows distract us so much that we start praising a woman who unironically once released a single named "Ur So Gay."

Bullshit. Beyonce was embarassed as fuck.
If you think that moment wasn't about Kanye positioning himself as some sort of heroic arbiter of good taste then I've got a bridge to sell you.
Beyonce definitely wasn't embarrassed.She knew damn well she deserved it. Now where is that bridge.

What did Kanye say about Beyonce?
...mkay well that's your opinion I guess but far from a fact.
That's BEYONCE had the best video of ALL TIME.
Also that he was standing up against institutional racism which, while possibly misguided and badly done, is at least an admirable reason.

That 3 chicks dancing with some dynamic lighting is the greatest video of all time.

Quite like it apart from the horrible chorus.
That phone call bit is really embarrasing. Not even so bad that is good that you can laugh at it, just embarrasing.
The victims are the pople that listen this song.
From which dimension do you come from?
That's totally what she is, I like her 1989 album, I respect the artist but not really the human behind it.

Well it was certainly different. I was thinking it was okay until the chorus but that was really quite repetitive and for very grating very quickly. The beat is interesting, but that song was really not my style which is unfortunate as I love her music. I'm still optimistic the album will be decent, but that song was not as encouraging as I was expecting. Maybe after a few listens it'll be better.
In all this talk about 'talent', it took way too long to get to this.

It's cringe at parts but I really like it. Surprisingly the first Taylor song I can stand.

I can only speak personally but the whole Taylor snake thing and public feuding whatever etc is something I know next to nothing about, and frankly don't care about either I just want to listen to music. And I would guess most people are in a similar boat? Does the average person know or even really give a damn?
So with that said, me knowing nothing about this stuff, the song is transparently on that front, even if I have little context. It's distracting to me personally.
(The way how each mega pop star these days moans at each other by song is childish and annoying. It's your material but imo keep it to damn twitter.)
All that said, even when the message of the song is ignored, it's fairly mediocre.
I hope the rest of the album isn't like this, it's not the 1989 follow up I wanted :/

She really does, with Kesha and Charli XCX not far behind.
Some people say the best songs are the ones you don't really like the first time you listen to them but you start to like after you hear them a fw times. The argument is that part of the reason you don't like it is because song lacks the familiar hooks and progression that is popular so your ears/brain don't know what to make of it.
This song is no Rite of Spring but i'll give it another chance and see if it grows on me.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.

Katy, Taylor and Kanye are at the same level with their fake shit, tbh.
Still holding up for the rest of the album's tracks. Though this evolution is kind of underwhelming considering 1989, Red and Speak Now.

smh @ All these people who don't remember Shake It Off being both 1) the first single in the 1989 era and 2) the worst song on the album

Right? Personally its like be as fake as you want but as long as you make entertaining art and aren't evil then I'll engage with your content. High school drama is fun to laugh at occasionally but I don't think its ever really relevant to what I'm really looking for

The new song is not very good.
Keeping in tradition, I guess. Shake it Off was trash and the rest of that album ruled.

Shake it Off was a mediocre song on a great album. This song is bad.
It was a fine pop song. Not sure what people are on about here. This shit isn't high art.

Oh wow, the song actually samples Peaches' "Operate". No wonder it sounded like a Peaches song.
