People really don’t get this.
That’s definitely at least part of it. No, I don’t want to hang out at the mall. No, I don’t want to wander around a department store. No, I don’t want to pay $15 to eat at a chain restaurant that serves chicken that’s objectively worse than what I can make.
Man, we Millenials are ruthless.
In addition to being poor, a lot of us just don’t want the things that the incredibly materialistic boomer generation thought were so fucking “essential.” No, I don’t want diamonds.

That could explain the decision not to even feign like she was singing, and just dance like a dork to her pre-recorded vocals.
I can kind of support this. It would explain the lack of decent choreography (just throwing something together at the last minute. I wonder if there was some apology before or after, to the…
apparently she has the flu and was receiving IV fluids before the show
I guess Lorde’s VMAs performance was supposed to be relatably casual, but it just seemed like she was making it up…
This. Shake it Off wasn’t a fabulous lead single (compared to the others), but it set the tone. Something new.
Seems like this isn’t a song so much as an intro to the album.
Holy shit am I tired of hearing the phrase “playing the victim” used about a woman who was literally just in a courtroom getting justice for being sexually assaulted this month.
