The star is Taylor Swift and a host of other famous people. That's nice, but then, they appear, in a flash, and then, somebody else, so big deal! Big deal! Look, we're here to see the Taylster, and behold in here just how beautiful the Taylster really is, so, please! keep the other lot, and just give us the Taylster pleez?
Count them, there are seventeen star-billed girls here, a whole lot going on, but a music video is by its very nature too short to accommodate so many characters, so it's really all a waste.
The song itself is also not exactly genius, huh? Should such a classy lady, such an elegant white swan, be associating herself with a rapper? Instant down-class. Imagine a yacht, a grand three masted schooner, sailing in polluted waters. Rappers simply drown out everything else with their staccato rattle, do we, the fans, want this for our heroine?
Not that I could give it the far lower score it deserves after seeing beautiful Taylor in those dramatic facial shots towards the end, with the raging inferno background.
Next time, something simpler, just Taylor. Fancy, yes, but not the whole gang.
