Maybe the most apt encapsulation of what’s wrong with the Swift persona.

Everyone on this vid saying they liked it seem to be referring nearly entirely to the tone and cattiness of it. Which, that’s exactly what Ed Droste was on about in his interview with O’Neal:

I agree that it starts off kind of neat. It’s something where I want to see where it goes, but then I do, and it’s shit. Is Taylor Swift some infallible angel, or something? Because this whole “me against the world” schtick is getting old.

Everyone who willingly claims this song is good should be immediately fired.

“The old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now. Why? ‘Cause she’s dead.”

I’m gettin’ too old for this shit.
