Hello snakes

Hello snakes <3 here's a little treat for you while I procrastinate on getting the second part of my SN reaction together. As predicted this was nonsense. More on this in our next Taylor Talk!

Ashley C

the entire time I couldn't tell if I was just phased by the nonsense and basicness of the video, or if it was that I felt like I'd already seen it based on visualizing your predictions

jaz n.

clairvoyant I’m telling you!

This song is more than likely referencing John Mayer, and since she probably didn't want to make a sexy video depicting fantasies about someone she used to have feelings for since he is so cringeworthy now, she wanted to put the music to a completely different story. I thought it was amazing, and I loved that she wrote the treatment and directed it. I love all the music videos she writes and directs, so I have never understood your hatred towards them.

Bianca

The minute I saw Gypsy Rose Blanchard fighting the laser beams I was out.

Dia

I think she would do well with codirecting or having an involved editor. With her videos she has cool ideas and knows what images or metaphors would be powerful and resonate with the fans, but the rest is just slow paced and not superfluous meaningful. For this video I could’ve loved a Taylor rescuing herself and/or fighting with her past self to get to the Taylor’s version in the vault, some sneaky mastermind fighting sexily to get closer to the song meaning.

I think of the videos she herself has directed, this is my favorite next to the Lover video. It’s a low bar though… The pacing of her videos really seems to suffer - she lingers on certain things for too long (in this one, for example, didn’t they add a few guitar bars after the first chorus so Joey King could crawl through more lasers? Not necessary imo). I just don’t expect her videos to be good at this point…I wish she’d work with someone else. At least we didn’t get dialogue in this one!

Well there is the secret mission lyric

Kourtney

Taylor liked a tweet saying this is her best music video ever and beats the LWYMMD video. We really need to stop gassing her up like this, this video was mediocre at best and she was barely even in it????

I'm glad I listened to the song first so I could fully appreciate it. Had I seen the MV first without hearing the song in its own...idk. The disconnect between the song and content of the video made it feel like I'm watching a short skit while random background music plays. The song just kind of sits in the background, chugging along. Idk, feels very disconnected and doesn't do the song justice, as though they were just forcefully paired together. The song is a banger and I wish it had a video that did it justice.

Lana

I think she choose this song because it's the banger of the vault songs and it definitely wouldn't have gone with Enchanted. Also there's the line "secret mission" lol

Anastasia Kill

And yet another music video opportunity suffers from incessant Easter eggs and shoe horned relevance to re recording sentimentality.(I cried when she stopped to look back ) I hope she finds her hand as a director eventually but she will not with everyone eating up everything she tries. She needs criticism to thrive guys we know this.

Gianna

Taylor said she thought of this idea for the music video a long time ago. I think she wanted to do this but didn’t have a specific song to set it to. So she just picked whatever song she wanted to promote as the single and ran with it. I think it’s a great idea as a 5 minute short film but as a music video for I Can See You? No

Marco Cristallo

i actually liked this video, it doesn't really fit with the song, but there aren't better options if you ask me. i really love the last scene!!

Olivia Williams

The song: Bellissimo 🤌🏻 the video: we came, we saw, and we just weren’t ✨enchanted✨ with it.

Angelina

this music video would’ve bee more exciting if it came out before the album dropped. Like imagine if this video was how she revealed the cover of speak now tv. I think she could’ve picked a more heartfelt song to put the concept of a museum of her past in. Castles crumbling would’ve made more sense for this concept. Since that song is literally about feeling like you’re losing everything you built for yourself.

girl4433

Ok…can we talk about how Ariana Grande is officially heading for divorce? Like I don’t know where else to discuss this type of news (sorry for off topic) 😭

Charlotte

Zach this video was hilarious ! I *knew* your reaction before I watched your video ! Also lemme have an international French swiftie gloating moment : I'll be seeing Taylor ..... in my hometown Lyon ........ minimum once !!! I'm on my own dumb little cloud

Swiftlennial

I had the same reaction as Zach watching the mv when it came out. I have a degree in producing/directing, so I have been really disappointed by Taylor's shift to writing/directing. She is the queen of evocative songwriting, so you'd think it would be a no-brainer translation to mv concepts and direction. But she intellectualizes it too much, focusing more on easter eggs and gimmicks as opposed to just putting to screen what she herself imagined when writing these songs. If she actually recreated in her mvs the imagery that inspired her songs, we'd all die. DIE. Because it would be mind-blowing. But alas, we have music videos that I honestly do not feel the need to rewatch ... like ... ever.

Lou

Taylor did the same thing with delicate: a sexy vibey song is taken out of context and turned comical

emma 🌷

the twilight shirt is perfect for this 🫡

GYPSY ROSE BLANCHARD PLEASE😂

Cristina

Thank god for no dialogue 😂 but yeah the moment she thought oh lasers for 3 seconds it's not enough to really tell the story...let's make it longer 🤦‍♀️

As soon as I accepted that the music videos are film school for Taylor and she’s trying out different genres and camera techniques to learn then I’m pretty happy with them. Frankly it’s the vault track with the best single potential and has the most heist sounding music for this mini spy video so that’s why it was used. Zach is a purist though so I get why he’s annoyed that the songs are vehicles for filmmaking instead of being served properly as a music video.

NicholasJT

I didn't have that big problem with mv but there are parts that drag on. I understand why she chose the song because it fits with the tone of whole spy mission aspect. It's posed to come off like an action movie not a rom com

KCK

It’s like she’s still trapped in the princess vault unable to own that she’s a sexy bitch up against the wall!

KCK

Here’s my theory: she’s trying to stay PG-13 for all the 13 year olds who just found Speak Now thru the TV

Lance

No one gives a damn about the little girls in the mean video like WHO CARES I WANT TAYLOR

Kenny James

This video basically gave me the same reaction. I just don’t see the point in doing it to THIS song. It also feels like the total commercialization of her discography at this point. Like we are walking through a museum with a bunch of nostalgia filled artifacts and it almost looses meaning in the process. I understand it’s a re-record, but can’t we get something a little bit, idk, deeper and more artistic than this? It feels like it’s made for children.

Nadine

I agree that it's dumb and stupid and doesn't fit the song - that's why I love it. It's fun! Could she have done a better job? 100%. But I'll take this over ATW10 where every single lyric is simply acted out any day

gypsy rose blanchard💀

Laura

What Taylor swift music videos do you enjoy? Do you have a favorite?

Cardigan

I honestly loved the video, I thought the message was touching and the fact that these people from her past were the ones helping her reclaim her music made my heart 🥺 I get that you're like a film person and analyze stuff but for me a video being enjoyable is all I want same with movies if it's well constructed with good plot and acting I will.enjoy it

Rosi

I loved the video, but then again I’m a massive cheeseball who enjoys dumb shit like a random ex doing martial arts 😂

Leonardo

1 year later and Gypsy Rose Blanchard always kills me

Casey Fison

“girl we know” HELP 😭💀
