Can't win really, it's either self indulgent rap about wealth, lifestyle and riches, but equally being lonely and not being able to trust anyone or it's self indulgent pop where the singer doesn't ever take any responsibility for anything that reflects badly on her. Someone else is always to blame yah yah yah.. yawn. She may not have signed up for Kanye's lyric about making her famous, but she signed off on enough of it to give him license to be creative with that. It's not her best work and it won't be the end of Kanye vs Taylor either sadly for us all who would rather see something more genuine enter the high end of the charts. They play off each other and their "feud" makes money for both sides, so the end is nowhere in sight.
At least Queens of the Stone age scored a well deserved number one in the album charts and the new LCD Soundsystem album by all accounts sounds excellent.

I'm sorry, you present a false dichotomy there. There are other possibilities, which IMO are far more likely. The whole thing could be irony, and you're actually part of the joke.
Oivind
Well deserved. I like the song and absolutely love the video. It's probably not my favorite song of hers, but it is my favorite video.

This has been long overdue but I'm so happy Taylor has finally got her first no.1 single here. Look What You Made Me Do is a great song, I haven't stopped listening to it since it came out.

I can’t even describe how happy I am that Taylor finally has a #1 single! :D
I’m definitely a big fan of hers, so I had high expectations about her return & unsurprisingly, I love her new single! I like how she’s gone for a darker & more intense sound in the production, especially the beat that kicks in half way through the first verse & the piano notes that build even more suspense in the pre-chorus. Also, her vocal range is much greater in this compared to most of her other lead singles, which is why she can really pull off a song like this well. I actually like the build-up to the hook more I than I do the chorus itself; it’s still good (due to being repetitive & catchy), but the drop is a bit basic in my opinion.
The video is even more exciting, especially with all of the different Taylors & the dance break at the end.
I completely understand if you’re not a fan of this (I could even see a few or her country or pop fans being disappointed), but for me, ‘Look’ shows that Taylor can change up her style & still amaze me with it. I certainly wasn’t expecting her to go in this direction though, which is making me even more excited for ‘Reputation’!
