Taylor Swift has had a rough time over the past few months. She may still be selling a lot of concert tickets and records, but she has become the subject of ridicule, even if many people think it’s unfair. Let’s hope Taylor Swift doesn’t read the reaction to her latest video, “Out of the Woods.”
Billboard tries to summarize the video.
“Shot on location in New Zealand, the adventure-filled video shows the gown-clad singer in a variety of natural settings: being chased by ferocious wolves in the woods, standing atop a snow-capped mountain, submerged in the ocean and eventually (literally) finding herself.”
Billboard describes the video as visually stunning. However, some of the people commenting under the article find the video visually repulsive.
“This video is full of racist undertones and proves that Taylor Swift has no clue. The song sounds like it’s something out of drunk karaoke night. I used to be a fan of Swift, but not so much anymore. She has been exposed of her ignorance,” says Paul Cenerros.
In addition to being racist, some people think that the video exploits wild animals.
“I’m not a Taylor Swift hater, but the exploitation of animals in this video is disgusting. Tigers and wolves should not be used for Taylor Swift to make money off her mediocre song,” says Proud Gay Millennial.
The backlash on Twitter has been swift, even though the video has only been out for a couple hours.
