Taylor Swift: Mean

This was the first time I ever saw Taylor Swift on television. Although I have never been that into contemporary music, this was a pleasant surprise. I was hooked right from the start. Both the music and the song were compelling. It was easy to suspend belief as Taylor Swift pretended to be a protagonist from a bygone era of history, the early twentieth century. I appreciated the anti-bullying message and a sense of guarded optimism supplemented by the will to work hard to succeed. To-date, this song and its music video remain my favorite. This was Taylor Swift at her best when she was still making country music.

Conley 'the ender' was in this. Swaying around near the gazeba, Conley winks at the ticket master (zwindellina). At first it was the same old thing (people have to be seen where they're at). But Zwindellina smashed her hand over her hair ounce she took a gulp of conleys ways (unaccepted in the southern world). Conley spent some time not piling up tic taks without anything built. Summary: nothing was audubly or visually real.

Only for Swifties. Others needn't bother, they're only going to criticize it, it has a total honky-tonk hillbilly sound (I mean, it's a banjo with some concertina thrown in, yikes! in this day and age, my lady!) and so I doubt that anybody but a Swiftie would go for it, it ain't the Nineteenth century no more. Of course, the world is full of Swifties, and I am a Swiftie myself. But even by Swiftie standards, I think Taylor's pushing it here, not too much of this, my lady, this was 2011, looks more like 1911, sounds really really really like 18waybackyesteryear.

Among us Swifties, this is really not something to be discarded just because it appears so dorky, it's cute and has got a powerful, timeless message of overcoming bullies. I myself now feel really really MEAN for my comments, but I have to call it as I see it, that it is in no way at all, not by a long chalk, my favorite Taylor Swift song/music video. I still worship the ground she walks on, though. But give me LOVE STORY or YOU BELONG WITH ME. Not this. So that's why I gotta be so MEAN. And a liar. And pathetic. Well, gee, perhaps, but a liar, no.

Then again anything Taylormade can leave the average junk out there in the dust.
