i guess none of them think to question if this means she's been fake and disingenuous to the fans too?

A stan tried to come for me last night because I guess they assumed I was supposed to just kiss her ass and say I loved the video just because I’m a fan (sometimes)

Lol like they tried to say it was sad that I couldn’t see the deeper meaning behind the video. Nah I got it, but I still think it’s a stupid video?

LoL, MTE. I also like the fans who have acquired Taylor's victim complex as a result of stanning Taylor.

the stan reactions to this are the most cringe inducing things i think i've EVER seen.

it was funny reading them last night. I even saw people overanalyzing the damn meaning of the piece of paper as if the paper itself has this deep message about who she is as a person lol

Typical hazza stan.

there's a black guy in her video???? the criticism must have really got to her lol

there are many more POC in her video than she's had before, and at the part where 3 "fans" come up to her for a picture, it looks like 2 of the 3 are black girls.

Representative of ha real fan base. Just check YouTube reactors. Way more Poc than yts.

All of her last 10 music videos have had black men / black women.

the qualley sisters are both so pretty, that's all i got re: this controversy
also the kenzo ad almost gave me a heart attack when i watched it last night while high idk why it was very panic inducing

Lol the dancing IS kind of intense 🤣

the Qualley sisters are so gorgeous it makes me sick. Rainey particularly. but Margaret is the more talented one so it evens out lol.

I watched Novitiate the other day, and Margaret was great in it.

i have a new appreciation for margaret's dancing after giving one youtube view to this trash music video

is that the girl from novitiate (2017) in the kenzo advert?

si it's margaret qualley

yep

Oh she was in that Netflix Death Note movie. No wonder she looks so familiar.

Kenzo creative directors Carol Lim and Humberto Leon hired longtime collaborator Spike Jonze to direct the 3-minute short film, which was choreographed by Ryan Heffington, who is best-known for his distinctive work on Sia's "Chandelier" and "Elastic Heart" music videos.

But it's not just the similarities between Swift's dancing and Heffington's athletic — slightly manic — choreography that raised eyebrows. (There is no choreographer credited for Swift's video.)

Eek.

LOL

TS has so many talents she doesn't need a choreographer! She came out with it herself! she is amazing!!~~~

i'm surprised she didn't credit herself

lmao i didn't realize that the kenzo ad was w/ margaret qualley. she was good in novitiate.

i'm ngl i only watched this b/c i wanted to admire her face for two hours

i watched bc i heard dianna agron was in it (which was a weird choice on my part bc i'm not even a big fan of hers lmao... but i had moviepass). but margaret qualley's face and the unexpected gayness stole the show. well, unexpected for me bc i didn't know anything about the movie going in.

She was so good in this. The please comfort me scene killed me

I LOVE the Kenzo version.

Delicate is a cute song tho.

that kenzo ad is fun! i like that type of video, unexpected creativity. Knew kenzo was cool when MIA came out with a mixtape for them ahead of her Matangi album

ok i watched the taylor video now and heck yeah it's a rip off, but done terribly and with no emotion. eek.

this mixtape still goes off

Yasss bringing this back into my mind.

HEY MARSHA

YAS.

if she was aware, she's a thief, and if she wasn't, she isn't as involved in the creative process as her braindead stans think. either way i won't be surprised!

YES!
WITCH WITCH WITCH!

It's also a ripoff of Weapon of Choice:

Came in here to post this!

The Kenzo ad is a high fashion Weapon of Choice...

Spike Jonze did direct both videos.

oops. beat me to it lol.

My first thought, but Weapon Of Choice was also directed by Spike Jonze, so at least for the Kenzo ad he was 'ripping off,' himself. And obviously it's not really ripping himself, just do another version of the same concept, which is fine for him to do. Not so much for someone else to come in and do without any credit.

easily Walken's best work.

It’s not a rip-off, it’s a spot the reference game she plays with her fans!

Oh Tots forgot about this actor. What’s his name again. Is he still alive?
