Throughout the past week, I have heard and seen many comments about Taylor's Swift's new song and music video. Some hate it, some like it and others think it's harmful. I, however, love the song and am glad to see Taylor putting out new music after almost three years of silence.

I have been a huge fan or Taylor Swift since middle school, and throughout that time, I have seen her rise to the top only to be torn down multiple times. Honestly, I am sick and tired of it. One of my friends pointed out that people tend to forget that regardless of fame, words still hurt, and Taylor has been the focal point of many attacks, from her music, dating life and squad.

Taylor has swung back multiple times, but this time she came back swinging harder and faster. Many people comment that this revenge is unhealthy, horrible or whatever nonsense, but what choice was she given considering the media flooded us with articles saying she was dead and her career was over. She couldn't play nice anymore.

I find the new song catchy and have fallen in love with it. It is a lot different than much of her older music (duh, the old Taylor is dead), and it does take some getting used to, but once I got past it being different, I loved all that it stood for.

When the music video came out, my mind was literally blown! She managed to pack so much meaning into a four minute video. There have been dozens of articles dedicated to deciphering all the messages she left in the video, and I am so amazed by the amount of thought that went into it. Yes, a lot of the messages were getting back at her naysayers, but they honestly had it coming. Like she says in her song Better Than Revenge, " There is nothing I do better than revenge," so it's not like she didn't warn them.

For those that feel negatively about Taylor Swift, I am sorry you feel that way, but her music video shattered the YouTube record for most watches in a 24-hour period. Not only that, but she did so with hours left, so clearly her career is not dead. Oh, not to mention she ends her video by reiterating the hurtful comments that have been made towards her by playing versions of her former self, so at this point you cannot say anything to her that she has not already confronted head-on.
