Raikov 183 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 What I disliked about the Bad Blood remix was that Taylor reduced herself to the hook girl on her own single. Plenty of reviews said the verses and production were weak, so instead of saying "this is my artistic vision and I will stand by it," she got a popular rapper to replace her bad verses and changed the instrumental. It felt like the equivalent of directors changing their movie's ending because focus groups didn't like it. It was obviously a business move, just like Kanye on E.T. (only Katy still had her verses). While all pop musicians make choices to appeal to the buying public, the Bad Blood remix felt especially cynical. It just reinforced the idea that Taylor is primarily a businesswoman as opposed to an artist.Taylor knows she can't be sure she can top 1989, and that if she fails to top it, she'll be painted as a has-been (what happened to Gaga, and what might happen to Adele). If she does take a break, you be sure that she won't just be lounging around, chilling. She'll be planning her next move. Her business-minded parents didn't raise no fool.In any case, I do look forward to a time when Bad Blood isn't constantly on the radio. Seriously, of all the songs on 1989, she had to pick that one? Why couldn't Wildest Dreams have had that sort of success? Or Style? Life isn't fair sometimes. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alfonso 1,551 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 New Interview for NME magazine I think it's so nice that the charitable queen is taking some time off of dominating to allow her peers to release music without being fearful. :)) this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BornAsUnic0rn 2,100 Posted October 10, 2015 Share Posted October 10, 2015 I love her words so much everytime I read or watch interviews, she's SO self-aware and that's what people seem to hate. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
