As soon as the video begins, a snake hisses at the camera, ready to bite the viewer before it\u2019s spontaneous transformation into a group of butterflies. However, the old Taylor proves she\u2019s unfortunately still dead when the video cuts to the hitmaker and Panic! at the Disco\u2019s Brendon Urie as a married couple arguing in French while their \u201cyoung daughters\u201d (their cats) are in the room.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Almost immediately, Swift exits the scuffle and dives right into the song\u2019s annoying radio-friendly pop she\u2019s been spitting out ever since she left the country genre. Her lyrics are along the same lines you\u2019ve been hearing on Top 40 since the dawn of the \u201810s: she\u2019s having a tough time making it work with her boyfriend, but she also understands she\u2019s part of their problem, all that jazz. Following our reintroduction to T-Swift\u2019s post-country-pre-<em>Reputation<\/em> mainstream pop brigade, Urie hops out the window with an umbrella Mary Poppins-style. There\u2019s nothing too special about his appearance; he\u2019s just there to play the boyfriend in Swift\u2019s lyrical endeavours.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cME!\u201d checks all the boxes of a corny song and video shown to kindergartners to help them feel good about themselves, and that\u2019s not only regarding the moment where Swift goes off-rhythm to declare \u201cHey, kids!\/Spelling is fun!\u201d The line \u201cyou can&#8217;t spell \u2018awesome\u2019 without \u2018me\u2019\u201d sounds like it was ripped straight out of a lackluster PBS Kids program, not the girl whole stole our hearts more than a decade ago as a young country sweetheart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The rest of the video is nothing but tacky, holding some less-than-exciting choreography and an overbearing amount of pink and light blue colors. If there\u2019s anything to stop the bleeding, it\u2019s recalling that the rest of <em>Reputation<\/em> was more textbook-Taylor than its in-your-face lead single, so the upcoming LP is likely to be a different story. That doesn\u2019t shy away from the fact that \u201cME!\u201d marks a glaring low point in the 29-year-old\u2019s career. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taylor Swift tried to label herself as a wannabe badass on 2017\u2019s Reputation, but the black lipstick and punk girl attire seem behind her upon the release of her new song and video, \u201cME!\u201d Many may be relieved to hear Swift\u2019s no longer struggling to reach for the \u201cbad girl\u201d status, but her new schtick [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62,"featured_media":5190,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[265,530,32],"tags":[741,744,745,350,743,576,104,129,740,739,742],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 -
