somebody tried to grab her leg during bad blood she didn't go down and carried like nothing happened. her sounded good and seemed to good energy. the guitar player sounded good and seemed to using a fair bit of gain. it was a fun . i don't drink alcohol anymore and some drunks where making fools of themselfs and reminded of how i acted in the old days which was not good.

The Wildest Dreams music video just came out!
It's not what I expected the video to be like, but it's pretty good I guess, even if kind of cliche. Taylor looks STUNNING though.

I liked the video overall, but I don't like Taylor with dark hair; it doesn't suit her. I also didn't care for the scenes with the lion because of how fake it looked, but everything else looks awesome. And it's great that the video's proceeds will be donated to wildlife animal conservation.

Anyone else notice how it looks like Katy Perry's hair? And yes, great that the proceeds are going to charity.

I like it. But I'm not a big fan of her dark hair either. And usually I'm a fan of dark hair - but the video is good

As much as I don't like Taylor, I have to say this because every post on my social media screaming how racist WD video is. I'm asian myself but that is just plain stupid.
Them playing the racism card unnecessarily everywhere, makes the actual fight where there's REAL discrimination frivolous. The script really is focused on TS and the guy, and who cares what race are the background people of? It's like, saying a family of parents of the same race, is racist for having children of that race.
Sorry, had to get this out.

I honestly didn't even notice there were any Asian people in it... All I got from the video is that Taylor and this guy are filming a movie in what looks to be the 1930s or maybe 40s and she falls in love with him through the character. Then once the movie premieres he falls in love with somebody else, she gets upset and runs out. I was focused on the story pretty much the entire time.

I think the word "racism" is being misused here. These things can be rightfully criticized, but it's not racism. There are other words for these things...
Haven't seen the movie, but according to the articles it has nothing to do with Asians, so obviously we - the Asians - have nothing to say much here. I agree that the "racism" card is being overused nowadays, but I personally don't think that even if you are not white but not offended by something called "racist" by others, that doesn't mean that it disqualifies a certain thing from being labeled as racism.

www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2015/09/01/436653602/taylor-swift-is-dreaming-of-a-very-white-africaIn it, we see two beautiful white people falling in love while surrounded by vast expanses of beautiful African landscapes and beautiful animals — a lion, a giraffe, a zebra. Taylor Swift is dressed as a colonial-era woman on African soil. With just a few exceptions, the cast in the video — the actors playing her boyfriend and a movie director and his staff — all appear to be white. We are shocked to think that in 2015, Taylor Swift, her record label and her video production group would think it was OK to film a video that presents a glamorous version of the white colonial fantasy of Africa. Of course, this is not the first time that white people have romanticized colonialism: See Louis Vuitton's 2014 campaign, Ernest Hemingway's Snows of Kilimanjaro, the 1962 film Lawrence of Arabia and of course Karen Blixen's memoir Out of Africa. But it still stings. Here are some facts for Swift and her team: Colonialism was neither romantic nor beautiful. It was exploitative and brutal. The legacy of colonialism still lives quite loudly to this day. Scholars have argued that poor economic performance, weak property rights and tribal tensions across the continent can be traced to colonial strategies. So can other woes. In a place full of devastation and lawlessness, diseases spread like wildfire, conflict breaks out and dictators grab power. Swift's "Wildest Dreams" are a visual representation of what the Kenyan author Binyavanga Wainaina writes about in his Granta Magazine essay, "How to Write About Africa." "In your text, treat Africa as if it were one country. It is hot and dusty with rolling grasslands and huge herds of animals and tall, thin people who are starving. Or it is hot and steamy with very short people who eat primates. Don't get bogged down with precise descriptions. Africa is big: fifty-four countries, 900 million people who are too busy starving and dying and warring and emigrating to read your book. The continent is full of deserts, jungles, highlands, savannahs and many other things, but your reader doesn't care about all that, so keep your descriptions romantic and evocative and unparticular."
