RIP To The Old Taylor Swift

Ladies and gentlemen, friends, family, cats. It is with great sadness that I announce the passing of the old Taylor Swift. According to her new song, one she has been aggressively teasing online for exactly one week, the old Taylor has died. Cause of death is unknown, although I suspect a case of acute attention-seeking might be a factor. The family requests in lieu of flowers, please send dragon emojis to Kim Kardashian’s Instagram account.

Much like her publicists rumored she would, Taylor Swift dropped the first single off her upcoming album, Reputation, last night. It’s called “Look What You Made Me Do.” Girl, nobody made you do anything, you did this all out of your own thirst for petty revenge! Shoot, don’t blame anyone but your marketing team for your narrative.

But enough chittter-chatter, here’s what the song sounds like. It’s kind of like Meghan Trainor’s “Me, Too” but performed by an angry cheerleader who just found out she was moved to the back row.

People magazine says “LWYMMD” was co-written and co-produced by Jack Antonoff. Co-writing credit was given to members of Right Said Fred, because Taylor and Jack pulled some middle school copy-your-answers antics by making the chorus of “LWYMMD” sound suspiciously like “I’m Too Sexy.” I hope they didn’t forget to thank their DVD collection, because good lord, the rest of that song sounds like it was ripped straight from the slutty Halloween scene of Mean Girls

The message of the song is extremely cryptic and mysterious. Ha! Got you, didn’t I? No, it’s just like any other Taylor Swift song, in which you know very well who she’s metaphorically dragging across the pink linoleum in her dream house. This time it’s definitely about Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, and the Snapchat story that called Taylor’s two-faced snake ass out for allegedly lying about that lyric in “Famous” about Taylor. That whole mess happened over a year ago. Listen, don’t ever doubt Taylor’s dedication to holding a grudge.

Taylor doesn’t call out Kanye out by name, but there are several lyrics in “LWYMMD” that give us a clue.

I don’t like your little games
I don’t like your tilted stage

You asked me for a place to sleep

Kanye West performed on a tilted suspension stage during his Saint Pablo Tour. Also, Taylor’s current promotion theme has been gothic letters and typography, which is something Kanye did with The Life of Pablo. A replica of Taylor was also seen sleeping in bed next to Kanye in the video for “Famous.“And then there’s the line near the end, in which Taylor leaves the most dramatic ‘teen girl going through an edgy phase’ voice mail recording of all time:

“I’m sorry, but the old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, ’cause she’s dead.”

So from what I’ve gathered, New Taylor likes revenge, playing the victim, slapping back at her haters, calling out her enemies, and getting attention. Call me crazy, but I’m starting to think Old Taylor might have faked her death.

I kind of expected Kanye to respond to Taylor by tweeting something about Taylor could have literally chosen literally any other day to drop her album. But instead he tweeted this shady little slap this morning:

The worst thing in the world you can be is average.

Kim Kardashian, on the other hand, has said anything yet.

The video for “LWYMMD” will premiere this Sunday during the MTV VMAs. Here’s a clip of what it will look like:

Taylor has been working a snake angle all week in preparation for the release of her song; sort of a personal take-back-the-snake movement, if you will. By the look of that teaser, we’ve got some snakes. But we’ve also got what appears to be a sweet, wholesome angel who finally pulled off the mask and is showing us that the real her is a diabolical evil blonde bitch in diamonds. Where have I seen this before? Oh yeah, Debbie Jellinsky from Addams Family Values!

If I find out that’s actually what Taylor was going for, I might have to become a Taylor Swift fan.
