I ALSO THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THOUGHT, AND SOME STILL DO, THAT RYAN ``IS'' GAY. SO THAT COULD BE PART OF THE MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING! WHO KNOWS FOR SURE
The haters like to call their favourite icons “queens/kings” and call the other artists rubbish. In the third verse Taylor’s basically saying “Calm down haters, we all got crowns, we all are kings and queens.”
Often the LGBT community and women are told “you need to calm down”. They’re told they are talking too much, and being too loud. Taylor is switching the narrative to say maybe it’s the people getting angry at others that need to calm down
Taylor explained they were a burger and fries bc when they made up they remembered how much they had in common, and so it was funny to show that in the video by making them a natural pair looking for someone to hang out with and then finding it was their old enemy but making up
So the funny thing about the 'Get a brain morans.' sign is that it's an actual sign a southern guy made for a pro-war rally like 15 years ago. The photo's been copied and posted over and over to mock him and people like him for being ignorant and intolerant. All we know about Ryan's part is that he's painting Stonewall Inn - while mimicking a famous Norman Rockwell painting himself - which had a recent anniversary I believe. Taylor donated money for the upkeep a few years back and recently performed there for her friend Jesse Tyler Ferguson who was hosting the event.
I like the song. I just wish Taylor would actually act on what she is saying and not care about the haters and move on. Most of her songs lately have been about her fueds and while in this one she is saying the fueds are done I hope this song is the last of the haters back off theme. I just want some Taylor songs about literally anything else. Love Taylor glad she's back
I think it’s good to mention that a lot of the LGBT community don’t like this song. Her allyship in this song is quite performative, and she’s putting a lot of the attention onto herself. She’s also comparing harassment and discrimination of LGBT people to her beef and drama and people tweeting snake emojis at her.
You are ridiculous! Her very good friend of years Toddrick Hall helped produce the video. She defended Hailey K. when an interviewer asked her why she always sings about her girlfriends. They didn't know each other but Taylor has always been asked that about her boyfriends and said how sexist it is. She then mentions how no one says that about guys who write about their love life. She gives examples like Ed Sheeran(one of her best friends) and Bruno Mars. A gay fan asked Taylor to play his fiance's favorite song of hers at their wedding. Taylor surprised the guy and showed up and sang. Jessie Tyler Ferguson asked Taylor to preform at the Stonewall Anniversary and she did. All of those things were done BEFORE this song was made. Stop looking for things to complain about! If the LGBT community had known or researched anything about Taylor the few that are bit**ing wouldn't be. 🙄
I kinda thought that Taylor being in a trailer was meant to turn the tables on "trailer trash" who a stereotypically those with less progressive views particularly anti-LGBTQIA+. So by Taylor and her friends being in a trailer park I think it sort of says that you can be yourself anywhere or if we were in a trailer park we would make it fabulous, so what are you guys doing? 😂
Just learned via twitter that the morons spelled as Morans is a subtle shade at senator moran, an anti-same sex marriage senator. What does SNO mean btw? Anyone?
Not sure if that was the specific reference, but "get a brain, morans!" goes way back to an actual sign at an actual protest in 2003. knowyourmeme.com/memes/get-a-brain-morans
The third verse is basically about how the internet and media coming up with stories pitting the pop icons against each other over petty things. Loved the video. You have a new sub in me.
I think this song is much more political than what many people are seeing. It’s not a coincidence that the lyric video was released on Trump’s birthday. I think the comment about tweets was aimed directly at him. Then she’s asking him what we’ve all been wondering since before he was elected, but she’s more polite than many of us would be: “Are you ok?”. There’s also the word and the image in the lyric video of a “missile” which made me immediately associate with Trump’s temper tantrums over North Korea early after he took office. I think when she’s singing about girls that are killing it she’s referring to how we’ve just seen this wave of women getting elected, unseating Trump-supporting men. The protester’s sign spelling “moron” as “moran” is probably referring to Senator Moran, who is known for opposing same-sex marriage. The song was written in a way so it could be interpreted much less politically to provide the fun song and music video we all expect. However, I think this is why she put out a video with only lyrics first. No distractions, just words so hopefully some of that message would be caught. There’s a lot of other great stuff going on in this video too (it’s Taylor!) but I think her genius when it comes to songwriting deserves even more credit than it’s being given. Edited to add: stumbled across this 2 yrs later and I still think she deserves so much more credit for her song writing. I agree with the most of what you said, and of course the surface meaning of the lyrics advocating LGBTQI rights. Her ability to combine that while calling out other very specific political issues is remarkable. Taylor’s got bars!
A lot of times trolls told Taylor Swift that she was nothing but trailer trash, so I think that's Taylor owning it as only Taylor can do. Ryan is a good friend and a big supporter of the LGBQT community. His daughter (and wife, Blake Lively) is the child's voice in Gorgeous. I think Katy and Taylor were burgers and fries because they go together so well, so why not. I don't care what anyone says, Taylor Swift is a genius.
“Comparing all the girls who are killing it” also relates to beauty pageants where women compete with each other for the crown and only one can win. In the music video they’re all lined up before a judge who then throws the crown into the air. Like, screw this, crowns for everybody! ✨
The comparing all the girls who are killing it is a reference to both the media and stan Twitter. It's not as nice as "I prefer this person", it's more like "I stan this person, so I'm going to hate everyone else, unnecessarily compare things that don't need to be compared, and just be generally vicious about it".
Idk Ryan Reynolds' sexuality, but if he's straight maybe his scene represents non LGBTQIA+ educating themselves on LGBTQIA rights or the reason behind pride?
@@kamallb4650 THAT DOESN'T ALWAYS MEAN ANYTHING. I THINK HE'S STRAIGHT, BUT I KNOW THERE WERE RUMORS FOR AWHILE. I THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE ANOTHER REASON HE WAS IN IT.
@@srjwildcat3589 I personally think he's representing the heterosexual people who aren't against LGBT community but is learning and trying to know them(bcoz of the look he gave)😄
This song is GREAT! A lot of people in the LGBT community are saying that she’s just using this song to profit off of the community and doesn’t actually care, but i think it’s actually a really good use of a privileged voice to speak up for an oppressed group and she’s a good ally.
Those few people are idiots. Toddrick Hall and Taylor have been good friends for years. He helped produce the video. He chose all of the drag queens on the stage. He suggested she die her hair towards the end of the video where they are walking together. Taylor didn't know Hailey K. but came to her defense when an interviewer asked why she writes songs about her girlfriends. That it was probably going to turn people off. Taylor has always spoken out about how the media bashes her for songs about her love life but doesn't say it about guys. She mentions how no one says that about Ed Sheeran(one of her best friends) and Bruno Mars, who also write about their love life. Hailey appreciated Taylor coming to her defense, especially since they didn't know each other and how famous Taylor is. Since then they have preformed at each other's concerts. People need to stop always looking for something to hate on. All the LGBT people in the video wouldn't have agreed to be in it if they didn't think Taylor was sincere. 🙄
My thought is to go watch Lauren lipmans decoding video. It explains what your trying to say. Especially the pageant and the haters with signs. Also. It explains everything you are asking like her and Katy perry. There’s a lot happening And she’s amazing at decoding. Her LWYMMD decoding video went viral. It was also featured on Taylor’s Reputation tour.
I think the comparison line 4:59 is about both how female artists are pitted against by their fans to see who’s the best, and the recent New York magazine piece where a Bunch of the ru girls were patronised and unfairly ranked in the article.
You say ‘snakes & stones’ 3 times and still didn’t get the reference!? Gah!! It made me crazy!🤪 Her whole reputation era was built off of it!! It was the freaking mascot!! Bummed you didn’t really do ANY research or else you would have known that reference. 😕
@@ThePopSongProfessor Also missed the "get a brain, morans!" being a long-running internet meme and reference to ignorant protests in general. Don't turn into modern media where being fast becomes more important than being accurate.
Also the “Don’t step on his gown” could technically mean drag queens in general, but I’m pretty sure it is meant to reference Billy Porter specifically about the way people hated on his tuxedo gown at the academy awards, since he literally walks up in frame at that point in the video.
Actually, Taylor is not up there with all the queens dressed as celebrities. That's an amazing Taylor Swift impersonator named Jade Jolie! She really does look like her though!
So many wonderful lgbtq icons in this music video! I also loved how laverne cox was included since a lot of times people forget us "t"s exist in lgbt too. Also at one point Taylor's hair was blue, purple, and pink like the bisexual pride flag colors which I thought was pretty cool
I think this song is super under appreciated. It’s actually pretty clever and fun. I like the lyrics and the message. Let Taylor have fun, this song is pretty awesome. Cheers to Tay! 🥂
I think she was referring to people saying she copied Beys Homecoming w her performance that used a marching band, even tho Tay has been using marching bands for years.
Also, the reason Ryan Reynolds is in that is because Blake Lively was part of her squad at one point and there was photos back when she was dating Tom Hiddleston where Ryan Reynolds was turned into a meme basically saying that it looked like he didn't want to be there and that he was dead inside. 😂
Her third point concerns the typical divide and conquer mechanism of destroying a group. Pit everyone against each other makes the group weaker (e.g. powerful, creative, and successful female artists).
Ryan Reynolds was painting the stonewall inn, that’s in New York. I don’t know much about it historically other than it meaning a lot to the lgbtq community ❤️
Moron being spelled “moran” could also be a nod to Trevor Moran . He is a musician and is a big part of the LGBT community. Probably a stretch but it’s the first thing I thought of.
More specifically the bridge is about stan Twitter culture, where fans of those pop stars make it an intense competition and think their favorite celeb has to be the best of all of them and they put everyone else down including everyone else's fans
I truly love the music video. I have a couple of friends who are super supportive of me. I can't express myself to alot of people because my whole entire family and others where i live is anti LGBTQ and I have been told I'm not allowed to express myself because of my family but also because of my father and my uncle. So I'm basically hiding who I am because it's not allowed to come out in my family.
I think Ryan Reynolds is there (besides their friendship) is that Ryan Reynolds was Green Lantern in the live action movies and in the comic books Green Lantern is a gay character. Maybe I am reading too much into it but you can never read much into Taylor Swift
I took the “I am a rich man” line to mean and inspire the idea that she doesn’t need a man to make her life easier or to give her everything she could want. She can and has done that through her own means and without someone handing it to her and she has achieved a point of her career where she, comparatively, has just as much influence as rich white men. It’s another reference to equality, between genders, in addition to aspiring to achieve equality for LGBTQ+ society.
Great analysis, and I love that Taylor is still very genuine in her lyrics, song after song. For me she is one of the celebrities who responds better to drama, because she gives the answers in her songs, and I really respect that. (side note: it makes me remind of Cristiano Ronaldo, when he is criticized he always says he gives the answer on the field, and he does ahah)
FYI: Ryan's cameo shows him painting the iconic Stonewall Inn. Ryan also previously dressed as Deadpool dressed as Bob Ross painting a picture. Also, he is her friend, along with his wife Blake.
the "moran" sign was a reference to an actual sign made a few years ago, saying in full "get a brain morans." Deadpool is pansexual (last time I read about the character anyway), and Ryan Reynolds wore a t-shirt with Taylor Swift's cats in Deadpool.
What are you even saying in the start of this video, what ever it is, is totally untranslatable. I am pretty sure it's your name, and I don't trust anyone who says their name like it's something they would rather not be said, known or would prefer to hide. People might say that I am reading too much into something unimportant, and to those people I say, ok. However to you I say, your a grown man try to explain something that requires none to people who didn't ask and doing so for undetermined reasons. I doubt the authenticity of what ever degree that allows you to describe your self as a professor.
The lyrics are well done. It’s funny how this is America, land of the free, and we have people who are still NOT free and criticized/hated for demanding their rights.
The 'comparing all the girls who are killing it' also applies to the drag race fandom, who does the same thing to the drag queens (also some people are racist af).
The only thing I can think of for Ryan Reynolds to be there is because he fought for Deadpool to be the first pansexual superhero or maybe he’s a part of the community too! I also made a cover of this song hours after it came out on Friday so it would be nice for someone to check it out :)
Good interpretation, I can appreciate how you can talk about this from a non bias point of view, although I am curious of your standpoint of such a subject, as christians often see it from different points of views and I’m just curious of how you see it :) Good video love
We’re meant to assume shes just an ally. But so far her whole album is gay as fuck - in the good way - and I wouldn’t be shocked to see her come out this month
Ryan Reynolds’ daughter is heard at the beginning of “Gorgeous”. Taylor is friends with Blake Lively who is married to Ryan Reynolds.
In deadpool Ryan also wears a shirt with Taylor's Cats on it. They're all just close and it's adorable.
I ALSO THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE THOUGHT, AND SOME STILL DO, THAT RYAN ``IS'' GAY. SO THAT COULD BE PART OF THE MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW EVERYTHING!
WHO KNOWS FOR SURE

I'm not a huge TS fan, but I'm really happy with how she took this song! Beautifully done! Well done, PSP!
I think Ryan is just in there cause they are great friends. He wore a shirt of her cats in DP2 ❤️
It was talking about the NYMag ranking dragqueens. That mag was definitely shady for releasing the top dragqueens of america.
Ryan Reynolds paints the Stonewall Inn in his scene :)
I thing that burger=b and French fries=ff so that together burger/French fries=BFF
If you want a more in depth explanation of all the references and who all of the cameos are, check out Lauren Lipman’s decoding video!!!

Taylor is godmother to Ryan's child with his wife. They are close friends.
It’s actually called *bridge*, “not third verse”.
Ryan Reynolds is painting the Stonewall Inn?
Wren Libunao yes

Ryan Reynolds is painting the STONE WALL INN which is celebrating 50 years of pride this year. It is a tribute to the LGBTQ community.

Taylor is friends with Blakely, Ryan's wife...
Ryan Reynolds is portraying Norman Rockwell...a famous artist that captured everyday life in America.
My take on Ryan Reynolds was twofold: a Detective Pikachu reference and yes, painting Stonewall Inn.
dude that was fast
Actually, Taylor is not up there with all the queens dressed as celebrities. That's an amazing Taylor Swift impersonator named Jade Jolie! She really does look like her though!

I took the “I am a rich man” line to mean and inspire the idea that she doesn’t need a man to make her life easier or to give her everything she could want. She can and has done that through her own means and without someone handing it to her and she has achieved a point of her career where she, comparatively, has just as much influence as rich white men. It’s another reference to equality, between genders, in addition to aspiring to achieve equality for LGBTQ+ society.

Aurora is on a different level then most other musicians.
I think you missed a lot of opportunities to explain this video more in depth...
In “Me!” Brendon tells Taylor “you need to calm down” and she says “i am calm” which was probably an easter egg for this song.
Ryan Reynolds is over there painting the Stonewall Inn
I must say, I like this side of Taylor a lot more than her "vengeful" one from Bad Blood and Look What You Made Me Do.
Ryan Reynolds is painting the Stonewall :)
the "moran" sign was a reference to an actual sign made a few years ago, saying in full "get a brain morans."
Deadpool is pansexual (last time I read about the character anyway), and Ryan Reynolds wore a t-shirt with Taylor Swift's cats in Deadpool.

What are you even saying in the start of this video, what ever it is, is totally untranslatable. I am pretty sure it's your name, and I don't trust anyone who says their name like it's something they would rather not be said, known or would prefer to hide. People might say that I am reading too much into something unimportant, and to those people I say, ok. However to you I say, your a grown man try to explain something that requires none to people who didn't ask and doing so for undetermined reasons. I doubt the authenticity of what ever degree that allows you to describe your self as a professor.
The lyrics are well done. It’s funny how this is America, land of the free, and we have people who are still NOT free and criticized/hated for demanding their rights.
You are QUICK!
I think Ryan is there because Deadpool is bisexual and Ryan IS deadpool basically
TAYLOR SWIFT SAID GAY RIGHTS
So, the "snakes & stones"... is from her last album where she referred to herself as a snake.
Jim "Moran" is a Virginian politic man .. but dunno his story.
GLAAD is a LQBTQ charity/organization!
Noah Miles he talked about that
@@christina9156 whoops apparently I can't hear things
calling homophobia "shade" is homophobic
The 'comparing all the girls who are killing it' also applies to the drag race fandom, who does the same thing to the drag queens (also some people are racist af).
Toddrick Hall, Taylor's good friend for years helped her produce the video. He said he picked the drag queens from his friends.
How are you so fast!?
The only thing I can think of for Ryan Reynolds to be there is because he fought for Deadpool to be the first pansexual superhero or maybe he’s a part of the community too! I also made a cover of this song hours after it came out on Friday so it would be nice for someone to check it out :)
Hey professor! If u ever see this comment, i have a request. Can u please do an explanation to the lyrics, Careless by deadmau5. I'd be glad. Thx😉
Good interpretation, I can appreciate how you can talk about this from a non bias point of view, although I am curious of your standpoint of such a subject, as christians often see it from different points of views and I’m just curious of how you see it :)
Good video love
Wait so if she's saying us in the song is that just as an ally view or as an lgbt person!???
We’re meant to assume shes just an ally. But so far her whole album is gay as fuck - in the good way - and I wouldn’t be shocked to see her come out this month
She's definitely gay, no doubt about it.
Ally as she has stated in interviews. The Lover album is her most political. The album is also about her boyfriend Joe.
Why dont we have subtitles? I was listening, i was understanding but heeei i was expecting to see what im hearing
I think the hamburger suit represents their "beef"
