https://youtube/watch?v=e-ORhEE9VVg Taylor Swifts new video blew up the internet. The hidden message behind this video caught my attention. Taylor Swift perfectly explains why we shouldnt call women crazy. In her video she is rapidly contradicting herself. One moment she is shown as a elegant, charming serene girlfriend and the next, she is hitting her boyfriends luxurious car with a golf club, burning his clothes and stabbing his portret. The video llustrates jealousy, violence, and turbulence of an unhealthy relationship... She told Yahoo Music: It’s interesting when you put out a song with sort of a comedic element to it. People with different senses of humor perceive it differently. You’ll have people who completely get the joke and they’re saying, “Oh, look, she’s completely taken back the narrative, and she’s singing from the perspective of the person the media paints her to be.” And then other people will be listening to it on the radio and thinking, “I knew it! I knew she was crazy!” Swift’s video, while obviously echoing her own experiences of being called romantically “insane” and dramatic, brings up an interesting point for all women: what is the behavior that supposedly makes a girl “crazy”? And why is it a label which is consistently being tacked onto women? Swift’s video asks us to acknowledge that most women (though not all) don’t actually do really crazy things like take golf clubs to cars, or burn items of clothing, or symbolically stab cakes with sharp knives — yet many girls are still referred to as “crazy.” Is the concept of the “crazy girl” basically a method of oversimplifying multi-faceted women into two-dimensional villains? Is it possible that maybe we should use our enormous brains and come up with different adjectives that actually describe people’s personalities, and don’t reduce them to mere stereotypes? Yes, absolutely. .
