Taylor Swift’s new music video for her brand new single “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together” was released on MTV today! There is really nothing more exciting that your favorite artist coming out with new music and a new music video. I have a lot of thoughts so bear with me! Let’s break it down, shall we?
Opening scene: Taylor singing in her room and fighting with her boyfriend (who mind you is a gorgeous gorgeous guy! Good casting choice Taylor! HOT!) I’m okay with this scene…. I just wish she wasn’t wearing pajamas. Super weird. Is that necessary? No probably not…but there she is…wearing PJs. Second- her band- dressed up as farm animals or whatever. She said in an interview they’re dressed like that because she thinks the song is quirky and so she wanted the video to be quirky. Well… it just comes off as weird and random. Not feeling it.
Second scene: Taylor in the kitchen with the bf. She looks super cute here!! Not in a granny dress…in a cute cute outfit! Love this scene.
Third scene: I like that they’re fighting in the car but WHY the animals?? Why why why. That goes on for too long.
Fourth scene: My favorite..her and the GORGEOUS boyfriend walking through a forest all cute and romantical. So cute. He is beyond hot. That’s all that I can really focus on.
Final scene: Taylor dancing in her room with everyone, boyfriend shows up, she’s over him, shuts the door in his face. The end!!
And that’s the video!!
Now you have to know, this whole video was filmed in ONE shot. So every time you don’t see Taylor on screen, she’s frantically off camera changing into a different outfit. She said they did this about 17 times before the finally got the final version. I think it turned out pretty good. My initial reaction was to hate it because it was strange and weird and childish. But the more I watch it…the more I like it! Watch the video for yourself to decide what you think. Maybe even watch it 3 or 4 times to really get into it. 😉
If the video doesn’t work above you can try to click here to watch and I’ll change it to the youtube link as soon as it’s made available there.
