The Bad Blood video is ruined with Kendrick Lamar rapping throughout the entire song.

The album version of the song has no rap.

"New Romantics" should be the next single though it sounds like a Katy Perry song probably since Max Martin the Swedish producer wrote it.

^Who does the butt on the right belong to?

What brand of microphone is she holding?

re: Taylor Swift -- Discussion Thread
 

I wonder if she will be the Super Bowl 50 halftime performer unless the NFL does not want 2 female pop stars as their halftime act for 2 consecutive years.

Maybe her 2 night concert at Levi's Stadium in Aug will be a trial run.

A relative of mine was at that show.

I'm lukewarm on her music, but I'll be honest, with all respect to Swift, no matter how much makeup and leather she wears, I just think she has no sex appeal at all.

re: Taylor Swift -- Discussion Thread
 

:shrug: That's fine. We all have different preferences. In some ways, I still think of Swift as the little girl I met years ago, but now she seems pretty smokin'. One more thing to make me feel old.

re: Taylor Swift -- Discussion Thread
 

Has everyone seen the current Maxim cover? She has very little makeup on and is nearly unrecognizable. To me she looks more attractive. More like a real person and less like a pixie.

re: Taylor Swift -- Discussion Thread
 

Well, she's without her lipstick, which is a strong characteristic, but the hair is also a big difference in that shot.

re: Taylor Swift -- Discussion Thread
 

The hair is sure a big difference, and I'm not really even a big fan of the hair, as it's just wet, but the way her face is done looks more natural to me, and the first time I saw it (the subscriber copy, which I have, doesn't have any text on the cover, apart from the magazine logo) I had to open the magazine to figure out who it was.

I'm sure she's still wearing makeup, but her face doesn't look as "painted on" as it typically does.

Has a kind of "morning after" look, to be honest, it almost looks like she just rolled out of bed. Personally, I kind of think it's admirable that she's not always doing photoshoots in her underwear and vamping it up like so many starlets are today. But yeah, she always lathers on so much makeup that she does look less "artificial." I don't mean any offense with that word or for the description to be taken literally, I just can't think of any other word.

She has physically attractive characteristics, I just find her more "pretty" than attractive, if that makes any sense. She just doesn't have enough spunk for me. Sex appeal isn't just about physical attractiveness, there's a swagger to it too, IMO. But hey, I'm a guy judging the physical attractiveness of a woman on the Internet, and I've always thought that was a pretty low thing to do, so maybe I should STFU.

This was one fan she could not "Shake It Off"

http://www.much.com/wp-content/uploa...08/35i0j20.gif

If anyone cares her next single will be "Wildest Dreams"

I want the "New Romantics" to follow.

Could the "1989" album be the equivalent of "Trhiller" with multiple #1 hit singles?

re: Taylor Swift -- Discussion Thread
 

she looks like a skank.

re: Taylor Swift -- Discussion Thread
 

And yet another internet tough guy trying to shame women he doesn't know and probably beats off to a ton of porn. Ugh the stupidity of men who shame women like this makes no damn sense.

As for the picture, she has the old school model look down. Not a fan of it, but it is very different in this day and age. Always good to branch out and give something new a try like that.

re: Taylor Swift -- Discussion Thread
 

Right, Im sure I shamed her.

and yes she does have the old school model look down, if that look is one of a skank.

re: Taylor Swift -- Discussion Thread
 

Katy Perry's Teenage Dream is the modern day equivalent of Thriller.

http://www.billboard.com/articles/ne...acksons-record

Though Thriller sold like 50 million+ units and teenage dreem sold around 6 million.

re: Taylor Swift -- Discussion Thread
 

I'm so excited for Ryan Adam's track for track cover of 1989. I bet it'll be awesome.

re: Taylor Swift -- Discussion Thread
 

Some people think her new music video is racist for romanticizing white colonialism and using Africa as a backdrop for a story about white people.

I don't see that.

Taylor Swift: Better on the eyes than on the ears.

re: Taylor Swift -- Discussion Thread
 

Better on the eyes than on the nose, from what I've heard.

re: Taylor Swift -- Discussion Thread
 

I heard she farted.

re: Taylor Swift -- Discussion Thread
 

Ryan's album came out Sunday and it is awesome. His take on these songs improve just about every one of them.
