This is fucking garbage, and will be a massive hit...

Whenever a game uses "middleware," I expect mediocrity. Just see how poor TLOU looks.
If Trump ends up using the phrase "look what you made me do" any time in the next 3 years

The first 59 seconds are great. The chorus ruins everything.
Lmao, I was already not feeling it at all, and then the telephone part happened, and I'm like "Yikes..."

I take this back, I forgot about Ariana Grande. It's definitely her.
kasdfkjasdf screaming Katy's going to have the better album after all plus she's the better singer. The vindication! Let me go listen to Witness.
Talent won.
Both are garbage. I loved both Taylor and Katy's stuff up until their latest. It's all just edgy, revenge centric shit that caters to the "Mean Girls" thing.
They both try to act like they are above it and are moving on, but they both keep releasing songs about each other lol
Not completely awful, but it's definitely not a smash hit like "Shake it Off" was.
I think with different production the chorus could be fixed, so looking forward to people remixing this down the road.
Edit: Actually, I'd take the very last chorus at the end and make it the regular chorus, then add some more stuff for the final repeat.

That was bad, but came in the middle of a good song. This was bad and came in the middle of a bad song.

I take it you haven't listened to Lana del Rey's Lust For Life then?
Do yourself a favor and get into AOTY and great vocals.
lol. TS is the fucking worst.

I've heard a few songs from it, but not the album, no. I can appreciate her, I'm not on that wavelength. Melodrama floored me.

It's a great album honestly so much diversity in the lyrics and the second half of the album is just so pretty musically. Yeah yeah avatar quote and all but Lana Del Rey continues to impress me with the way she manages to keep delivering great music.
Haha exactly what I thought. Weak chorus

NeoGAF is ridiculous. The chorus in this song can't be THAT baaaaaaaAAAAAAAAASFAFSAGKSAGK
I thought it was kinda cute. Where as SHES DEAD is just cringey and attention grabbing.

Really weak chorus, but hey, usually singles are the worst stuff on the albums so i'm not that worried. It'll still crush witness when it's released.
I had the exact reaction. :lol
That's a pretty low bar.
My daughter got Witness, as a big Perry fan, and could barely get through one listen.
We bought concert tickets before the album landed. Whoops.

Lol, ups. Katy trapped you. Still, it could be worthy for her other stuff.

with this 4-6 words then pause and repeat nature of song writing

See, this is why we need a PopGAF: to discuss this and better songs that outshine this in every concievable way.
As for the actual track, it's not awful, but let's just say the electronic production is a hell of a lot better than the lyrical content. Taylor is heading into a "darker sexier serious" direction, and it's exactly what I expected: more synths, playing into the facade breaking, and going full attack.
At this rate, her next album is going to be a singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus-esque mea culpa, apologizing and becoming a better person through this darker edgier phase.

I'm sure she's received a decent amount of hate to be considered victimized.
Lying about "Famous" aside, there's always been an element of slut-shaming associated with criticism of Swift. She dates a lot, but that's because she was a 20-something in Hollywood who could pretty much only date other famous guys. She used her dating experiences to write songs because she's a singer-songwriter, it's what she does. We, the public, don't know if the purported reason for the Katy-Taylor feud is true nor do we know if any of the Calvin allegations are true. All we know is some magazine said something plausible about this and Calvin angrily tweeted something about that, and accept it as gospel.
In short, she is a victim in some respects, but she's largely the victim of things that have backfired horribly on her and things that she hasn't spoken publicly about.

I only really like the pre-chorus the second time (at around 1m45s). That part's really well made with the multi-vocals.
The rest is monotone and boring. However, it being not very original aside (I've heard this simple monotone beat before quite a lot), it is different from what is on the radio right now. It's all shitty tropical house with female (sped up or slowed down) vocals and some cutesy/weird sound in the chorus. This is different, and it being bombarded on all radio stations might get stuck in people's head. And it's Taylor, so it will be a hit.
(my track record on predicting pop hits is bad)

It's all very high school isn't it, the name on a list of enemies and the she's dead shite. Taylor you're 27 and one of the richest/biggest popstars in the world this totally looks not pathetic sure.
But more importantly if you're going to base a song on I'm Too Sexy, try and top it.
