I'm still shocked that even after becoming a pop diva, it still took Taylor over a decade to leave a country label. Not only did Big Machine release Taylor's first few albums, but they also released "1989" and "Reputation".
Lock Taylor Swift in a room and she writes a boring song about her lamp, is the problem. Lock TMBG in a room and that lamp is a neurotic night light that’s jealous of lighthouses, worried that you don’t like him as much as he likes you, and concerned about the Argonauts.
I remember my mother bought this album for me and my sister when it first came out. We were around 10 and 8 respectively. We would play it all the time in the car. I remember liking the entire album, but this song was the only one I would skip when I was in control of the radio. I didn’t hate it or anything, I just found literally every other song on the album more appealing. I just found something off about this song and only now as an adult watching your videos do I understand why.
13:31 Lorde went on to work with Jack Antonoff, so that "bleachers" joke aged really well. The part after that predicting what she'd sound like in five years, however, did not.

The thing about insisting you're not mad is even when not asked is that you make everyone think that you're, in fact, mad.

The oldest teenager is the best definition of Taylor I have ever heard. And 10 years later, she is older….and still a teenager. Terrible.

Considering she's still yelling about how unbothered she is about haters ten years later, I think she may be a bit bothered

I've always been lukewarm on Taylor. But I've always HATED this song. More than Bad Blood and Look What You Made Me Do.

If he thought 25 year old Taylor was petty and vacuous… he's really not gonna like what happens in 10 years.

This video aged weirdly now that Taylor Swift is as big a celeberty as Jesus Christ and has about half as many worshippers.

As much as I hated this song back then, now I dance to it and it's so much fun. I guess I needed to grow up to enjoy fun music

11:01 "22 seconds" Was that intentional?

2:28 George Harrison wrote "Taxman" at age 23. Taylor Swift wrote "Shake It Off" at age 24.
