'12
I already showed the preview of Taylor Swift’s new video, but she just released the whole thing last week, so here you go. This is her first single off of her newest album, Red. The single is, of course, “We’re Never Ever Getting Back Together”. I thought about doing a second-by-second analysis of the video, as I do from time to time, but honestly… this isn’t worth it. There are too many LOLs and WTFs and OMGs. Swifty has become The Perpetual Thirteen-Year-Old. Even her movements, her air quotes, her “music video acting” is all too cutesy and… like, fake-precocious. We’re supposed to think, “Isn’t she so cute? Isn’t she just the most accessible little thing?” But I’m reading this as bunny-boiling crazy.
But there’s a dude in the video – an actor who looks slightly embarrassed to be there, maybe because he looks like a normal 20-something dude trying to convince a 13-year-old to go out with him as he stands in her stuffed-animal-covered bedroom (when she’s not dancing with members of the Plushie community, no judgement), with Dateline Predator cameras waiting outside. The dude looks a bit like Adam Levine, kind of. Which brings me to the question some have been asking: who is this song about? Most people thought it was about Jake Gyllenhaal. Us Weekly says we’re right:
Taylor Swift is never, ever, ever getting back together with . . . Jake Gyllenhaal. Sources tell Hot Stuff the singer’s latest hit is influenced by her 2010 fling with the actor, 31.
“It’s definitely about Jake,” an insider says. In “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” she sings about an ex who comes back to say, “Baby, I miss you and I swear I’m gonna change.”
(Gyllenhaal flew to Nashville three weeks after their split to attempt a reunion.)
Swift has been dropping hints too: The song’s video features an actor who resembles Gyllenhaal, and in a promo clip for the September 6 MTV Video Music Awards, she jokes about the hit with host Kevin Hart, who pastes his own face on a photo of the then-couple.
Despite her past dramas, Swift, 22, is pushing forward with new love Conor Kennedy, 18. She’s even lining up promotion for her CD Red (out October 22) with the Deerfield Academy senior’s schedule. Adds the insider, “She’s working around his school holidays!”
When you’re 22 years old, male or female, you need to never, ever utter the line, “I’m working around their high school holidays!” Because OH MY GOD SWIFTY STOP.
As for the Jake thing – go back and watch the video again with the knowledge that it’s definitely about Jake. That fact makes it even funnier, hand to God.

Her songs make me want to kick innocent bystanders, her music sucks ….. Seriously though how does this girl still have the innocent / virginal image when her bed sheets seems to have a revolving door policy? I don’t get it.

Because she has an aw shucks kind of persona, comes across younger than her age, zero sex appeal, doesn’t hit bars, so people forget she’s banging a lot of guys.

Yes, to everything you wrote.
Also, if a guy wrote a song like this (or actually 13 songs like this as she has) some would be all over him for not being discreet, respecting privacy, etc… And yet, b/c she has a vagina its okay for her to do it? Its kind of a dick move (even if you don’t have one) and more than a bit exploitative IMO.
I get using your life for inspiration, but she is trying to be as transparent as possible to move records. Yes, I realize selling records is the goal. But can’t she write about anything else? She’s becoming Avril who can only appeal to people 10 years younger than herself. And, if I recall correctly, at 22 that would have mortified me.
The opposite sex should just avoid her like the plague.

Ha! Lily Allen used to say that men were afraid of dating her because they didn’t want to end up in her songs.
But then again Lily doesn’t pretend to be a 13 year old girl. At least her lyrics aren’t as juvenile (or at least have juvenile subjects, I mean ED is a real problem ya’ll).

does anyone recall hearing that any of her exes, let alone Gyllenhaal, actually tried to win her back? This song sounds like Swifty has turned her fantasy of being able to turn down someone she wishes wanted to win her back into a song in the hopes that he really does want her back and she’s hurting him with the song. When the ex was glad to be rid of you and doesn’t want you back, this sort of “revenge” is really just an “attaboy” for the ex.

Yeah, I saw a post on tumblr comparing the videos with pictures of Jake and her. I don’t have the link but the glasses she’s wearing are similar to Jake’s, she’s wearing a bracelet somewhere that Jake bought her (for 100k!!) and the scarf the guy puts on her towards the end is apparently a reference too. There was something else I think, but I can’t remember.
On another note, I’m really getting tired of her being painted as a rolemodel because she doesn’t drink or smoke. I would rather have my kids drinking and smoking as long as they were kind and treated other people with respect: something she clearly doesn’t know the value of.

What did I just watch?? Okay, I’m not familiar with her work, but just based on her being relevant enough to be gossiped about (and date Jake G who I may have once had some respect for), I assumed she was a musician of some talent and value to the industry – even if at the bubblegum level. That was like watching a video that a pampered 13 year old girl made as a birthday present from her overindulgent parents.
Except that they have her in some kind of urban apartment – like a real adult – and then she dances with adults in furry costumes. It’s so wrong from beginning to end. Too many mixed messages there. I’d keep my kid away from this one.

There was a poster on another site who said it was Gyllenhaal because of:
His scarf (which she wore on a date), the glasses (he posted a picture of him with those glasses), the pluchies (Donnie Darko) and of course, the resemblance of Gyllenhaal. All clear signs that Jakey G. was the victim of Swift’s wrath. She doesn’t even make her fans guess, boring.
Personally, I prefer a song that is less obvious. That has multiple angles to analyse it. Do people actually think she is a smart songwriter?
At this point, I kind of feel sorry for the guys she dates instead of feeling sorry for her. She is batpoop! The way she acts in the videoclip, creepy. Thank god Gyllenhaal didn’t have a bunny
.
She’s so young and every guy is the love of her life, even after they dated for only a few months. That’s fine, a lot of girls are very intense, I don’t fault her for that. Just don’t make juvenile, vindictive songs about it and drag it out months after it happened. Get over it girl! It’s a bit much when it happens every time and it shows her ugly side. It gets old pretty fast.
I also wonder if she wants to be remembered as the girl who was famous for intense short-term dating with douchebags who held a serious grudge afterwards because her unrealistic expectations and fantasies didn’t add up with reality.

Which she always seems to turn a profit from! Nobody will ever want to seriously date her. John Mayer actually acknowledged her writing a song about him. I wouldn’t give her the publicity. But he’s just as bad. But they need to stop giving her so much material. I hope no Kennedy has spilled any secrets to her. It will surely be in that break up song! Cuz it will happen. No doubt. He reminds me of JFK Jr, a real playboy. This kid won’t be ready for marriage for about 15 years! She’s stupid. If she gets prego on purpose, then he’s an idiot too! Cuz then they will be stuck with her, forevvvver!!

More importantly, why do you or anyone else GAF about his sexuality? I never understand the “Just come out already! Nobody cares!”
If you didn’t care, then you wouldn’t be imploring him to declare his sexuality. Leave the dude alone. If he says he’s not gay, then take his word for it. If you don’t believe him then let him come out on his own terms.
We shouldn’t be forcing gay folks to publicly declare their sexual preference no more than we should be forcing straight folks to declare their sexual preference.

I don’t get the deal with saying Gyllenhaal is gay. It’s becoming a meme for pete’s sake.
And how are you sick of his hook-ups when most of his relationships were low-key? He was never out to prove his sexuality with Dunst or Witherspoon and for the rest: the guy can have his flings too. Doesn’t mean they are beards. Even if he would be having guy friends on the side, he ain’t predator Travolta so whatever.

Judging from these comments and on other sites – maybe this means the end of swifty and her dreck “music” Way too much money and fame and ensconced in a sparkling fairy dust celebutard cocoon with little real talent and zero musical growth – are tweeners really that tone deaf? WOuld that more young people have the musical tastes of your kids original tif.
What i don’t understand is if you CAN’T sing live, you’re not a singer. PERIOD. Why is she referred to as a singer. A breathy wispy talk/singer maybe, but not a singer. She shouldn’t get a pass, except that she’s making millions for a lot of interests. Even more reason to despise her, her faux persona be damned.

Her height is about the only thing I like about Taylor Swift

She tries so very very hard… I kind of find myself feeling sorry for her.
I really don’t know why she feels the need to continue to act 14. It was cute in the beginning when she actually was a kid.. now it’s just strange and pathetic.
PS.Why does anyone date her in the first place knowing she’s so nutso?

I’m no youngster but I like the song! It’s cute, animated and fun….so there.

I know right? I think the song’s catchy and fun, and I actually sort of liked the video.
I know she can come off as a clingy, immature person, but I still prefer her to the likes of Katy Perry, Rihanna and other manufactured pop “artists”.

In the immortal words of Ross Gellar, “Fine!” TSwift should just suck it. I won’t be surprised she will be Leann 2 in the coming years.
Grow up. Sometimes you don’t end up with the first guy you date!

Didn’t she date him for only two months? I mean was it really that serious? Despite being rich and famous, she comes off as very desperate. She seems like someone who comes on and off way too strong. It’s like she thinks she’s going to marry every guy she dates. Geez.

The Jake thing is so over with, why is this song coming out now? I think she should just stop singing songs about guys who didn’t want her, which only makes her look bitter and jilted. We all know people try each other out to see if things have a chance. There are people who use others, but I don’t know if Jake is one of those. If you can’t handle the dating game, just don’t play. Not everyone is going to fall in love with you, Taylor!!

Even though I still like to think of the ‘Prince of Persia” biscuit-tingler version of Jake ( don’t judge, I took my boys to see it!), wild speculation has produced the following three assumptions:
1. He’s as emotionally immature as she
2. Maybe he has a Furrie fetish, and was worried she’d dish ( maybe she did!).
3. He’s hetero ( Yay! Commence biscuit tingling!)

Conor will not be Swifty’s date tonight at the VMA’s. Reason: his school wouldn’t let him out for a couple of days so he could attend. Ah, the downside of dating someone that needs a permission slip.
Seriously, I hope someone or Kevin Hart clowns her dating history on the VMA’s tonight. She needs to be publicly put on blast for her fake cutesy-pie image; it’s long overdue.

I take it that’s Connor’s letterman’s jacket she’s wearing for the paps? Eeeeew, creepy. If it was anyone else I’d be saying “Aaaaw” instead, but with this girl it’s like a predator marking territory.

Because she has a history of embarassing her exes in song and for profit. The guys don’t complain openly because it’s not smart career wise to do so. But one day she’s going to meet a guy who’s not going to care and expose her for the manipulative so and so that she is. Swift can be in the same boat as Kristen Stewart is now because of one bash song too many. Swift can be brought down too.

Swifty, swifty, swifty. First of all, the girl needs to take a break from writing love songs. Write a song about family, friendship, anything but fucking love. Secondly, the girl needs to stop bearding…My guess is, she really is clueless when it comes to men because she mostly beards…Hence, she buys whatever BS John Mayer fed her and then went after a high school boy. The never, ever schitck is just so juvenile…It sounds like something a 13 year old would say.

What does this say about Jake? Have to say while I’m still a fan of his, it has kind of colored my view of him. I mean really…Taylor Swift…3 years ago? Uck!

I can’t get over the fact that Taylor dated John Mayer. We all know what he’s into.
Oh and I doubt Jake is pining after her, gazing sadly at a framed photo of her on his bedside table. She’s so silly, immature and just…weird.

I heard this on the radio yesterday without knowing it was Swifty. And one of the lines is something like “My friends talked and your friends talked and my friends talked and your friends talked” and I was like, WTF, are middle schoolers writing pop songs now? Gross.

I do not think it is about Jake, I do however think it is about the Maroon 4 band guy, the entire video depicts his band( google Maroon 4 halloween), the guy in the video wears a watch like Adam and she has said in the past that his song was “cooler than hers”.

Her reality must be really twisted. She acts like she stopped maturing as a teenager (possibly because of fame?) but doesn’t realize it and thinks that women really act like this. There used to be the crowd that defended it because of her audience, because of her image, whatever. They would all usually point out that she has a multimillion empire, she’s a good role model, etc etc. I think we’ve gone beyond defending her now.
And the name calling and passive aggressive lyrics are getting old. They aren’t about artfully letting a an audience know and attempt to relate to their struggles through song, that were inspired by someone specific. They are name calling and publicly belittling to the person, who is generally famous. She uses her music for shock value and hits, and it seems to me that’s all she uses it for. I hope she’s over in the next few years to be honest.
And since I always say this, I’ll say it again: she is still a child. She does NOT represent the early 20′s age group (which I belong to). /rant thank you for your time.

Jake G seriously needs to think about punching Gwenyth P in the Goop for setting him up with this little nutjob.
His list of ex’s is kinda horrifying. Kirsten Dunst(bitch), Reese Witherspoon(cutthroat bitch) and now Taylor Swift ( vindicitve bitch). Gawd I hope he is gay.

How many boyfriends did this girl officially have? Or every guy who says hi or she makes up she considers her boyfriend? or she truly gets around?how old s he was when she dated Jake? I think he is my age (32.
*confused*
ps: did someone bother to count how many songs she has written about her exes?
Will she eventually make a break-up tribute album to celebrate 10 years of career?

This girl is embarrassing herself. She’s 22 going on 13 and she’s delusional. Living in a fantasy world.
First, it was a few dates, not a relationship. Second, Taylor herself made it public that he broke up with her over the telephone. Just like Joe Jonas, Joe called her a stalker, BTW.
Third, Jake took a beautiful brunette to the Oscar party where Taylor jumped on him, and tried to cause a scene.
No way, Jake did not beg her to get back together. She always says that about all her “exes.” She needs to get therapy. She can afford it.

wtf?! She thinks she is Peter Pan in neverland and will never grow up, she is ridiculous and pathetic.
She is so fake on this “I’m so naive and innocent” is creepy and her group of “friends” are just idiots like her.
Like dianna agron, that girl can’t act to save her life, but watching this crazy video they are a perfect match because her “acting ” is awful. And they thought about this freak to play eponine in Les Miz.
please don’t let her do movies.

You guys can call Taylor as many names as you want, but she’s laughing all the way to the bank.
Frankly, I like the song. It may not be the best lyrics, but sometimes you just want a song that you can be goofy with.
I think that’s who Taylor is. She’s goofy. She has fun and doesn’t care what people think about her. She’s happy with who she is. I’d rather listen to her music than some of this trashy stuff some singers put out.

O.M.G. I just watched the VMAs. Swifty was the closing act, in navy blue shorts and a red-and-white striped top. Like she was ready to board a chopper up to Hyannis Port right after the show. Now I’m just creeped out by her.
EDIT: Just watched the video. WHAT is up with that cable-knit sweater wallpaper? WTF?!

Ok as a friend of jakes and mind you jake would be pissed at me for 1) reading this drivel and 2) commenting…let me just say he thought Taylor was a kook..yes kookie. He was set up with her by the machine. The machine are sycophants that manage Hollyweird set them up for photo ops. Dud Jake does not drink starbucks. This girl is desperate. I am a Skakel and over my dead body is that ill-bred hillbilly getting into our family. Jakes family are well-bred people. Again get this squinty-eyed fruit loop set up with rob kardashian. No jake G. No conor K. Go away you weirdo you fail on the social register you hillbilly.

I think there’s a line in there about how the guy listens to “cooler indie records” than the ones she listens to.
Maybe he wanted to see where it went, cause she seems sweet and is crazy hot.. But Jake was way out of her league, poor thing.

Yeah whatever that was she put on was horrible. If I want to see someone who can’t sing, dance around in everyday clothing and singing some silly elementary song I would go to the local karaoke bar, have a beer and listen to them let it rip. They obviously put very very little thought into that performance.

The song & video are horrid and embarrassing, but I cannot feel sorry for Jake on this one. He signed up for it.
From their first photo-op “date” people were saying “No Jake! she’s gonna write a song about you!” Of course she was. He signed off on that two years ago. This was PLANNED.
Their “dating” coincided with the release of her last album and his premiere of Love and Other Drugs (same week). PROMOTION
She needs a steady diet of contracted famous boyfriends for her music because that’s her only angle. And look – it’s still working. This song is totally sucky and yet totally popular.
What’s in it for Jake? It helps kill the legend of Toothy Tile.
PR people follow playbooks. Can’t believe how many of you eat it up!

As a songwriter, I have to defend her by saying that sometimes the only way to get a good song is through exaggeration of feelings and facts. A song about a two month relationship that fizzled out would be pretty boring. Assuming someone is “obsessive” or “clingy” because of the songs they write is pretty uncalled for. Can’t we agree that none of us know this girl in real life and therefore have no right to judge her personally?
