Wow, has anyone seen the new music video by Taylor Swift? After reading so many of vigilant citizen's blog posts about music videos and the symbolism that goes into it- I found way too many in this video. First off I noticed that there's that classic reference to 'dying' which was seen in so many other artist's mv's like beyonce's Crazy In Love where she died in the backseat of a car with fire- same thing goes with Taylor she crashes her car and poses for the camera as fire begins to set and part of the lyric says she has died. Her corpse in the beginning where she dances in the graveyard with one of her past pseudonyms (Nils Sjoberg) shown in the background on a gravestone. Then that creepy scene where she's dressed in red in some temple with snakes all around, also wearing a cat mask robbing a bank (beta conditioning), and then finally (the part I found creepiest) is where she's singing on a stage to an audience filled with these humanoid/robot figures all lined up in rows- and then singing over some of them thats been knocked down. And finally the last scene where all of her past selves in music videos are aligned-showcasing her multiple personalities..its just so uncanny there were way too many signs! What did everyone think of the music video-and what were some of the things you spotted as well?

I didn't/don't watch the VMAS, but I saw the video. It's very interesting, and you definitely noticed the things I did.

Well the Crows and the airplane remind me of Britney Spears "Toxic". If you remember that song it's about a guy who is toxic, like a drug. And I see that same influence on Taylor Swift.

And of course the Mk Ultra symbolism is obvious. There's a throne, a car crash, paramilitary themes. Plus the title of the song gives it all away. Someone "made" her do it. She could of went off at any point in her career, so why now? I shall refer to my first comment.

I came here to post this. What an ugly video! Not to mention nearly every frame is dripping with symbolism. @Aero I hadn't even read your comment, but I was just about to say the same thing, she was probaby forced.

That music video made me nearly speechless. The symbolism is unmistakable; it cannot be a mistake. It's as blatant as a pan to the face. Yes, she lines up all her previous personas and they don't shut up. She tries to kill them off in the video.

Snakes
Multiple Personas
Mirrors
Pillars
Leopard print (and leopard in passenger seat of car)
Bird cage
Animal masks
Mannequin-looking scene with plastic models


Let's see... We're missing a baphomet. I'm sure someone can find it.

Millions, if not billions, of people are going to see this video and hear this song. I admit it's intensely catchy (already stuck in my head after listening 2 times - yikes.) Well, that's how it goes.

Everyone knows about Mk Ultra. They just don't speak about it publicly. Reading about it Mk Ultra, and experiencing it are very different things. Plus you have to consider if someone is being actively programmed or not. And what type of programming, and how deep it is embedded in their subconscious. These just aren't things the uninitiated will grasp. So it's even more difficult to understand and be able to converse about constructively.

I'm out there too. Like Taylor Swift. Active and initiated I would say. I turn non believers into believers all the time. And it's never enough. It doesn't matter if I'm summoning ghosts or demons. Conjuring knives out of thin air. Or smashing a car into a police station. Which was Obama's fault BTW. Very few people get it, is all I'm saying. And I'm not trying to glorify this shit, but my story about the cops is super relevant. Because they have been on me like white on rice for a long time.

Like at first I was this bad guy to the cops. Some weirdo freak and they had to try to bust me. And all that has changed throughout my relationship with them. Is they now know they can't bust me. And all we are going to do is hurt each other by fighting.

She seems to be going through her "good girl gone bad" phase like so many other popstars do. They always start out as cute, innocent, sweet, and dressed with modesty. Then they adopt some "dark" sex kitten, the clothes come off, and the music becomes a lot more sinister/sexually explicit. Very cliché. We've seen it time and time again.

The lyric about "Sorry, the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now. Why? Because she's dead." pretty much says to me that the nice, goody two shoes country girl we once knew is long gone and we might as well get used to the "naughty" Taylor because she's here to stay. The song and video seems to be saying goodbye to the "old" Taylor to make room for the "new" one.

Though the lyrical content of her music is still pretty much "you did me wrong, how dare you" just as it has been since the beginning of her career. That's about the only thing that hasn't changed.

There were soo many things I saw, like the beta programming, fragmented personality, like she was on top of a pyramid of people (most likely her alters) ,and like you said, the red, the snakes, I mean, they crammed everything into that video!

Didn't she go through this phase already? Aww I'm gonna miss old Taylor. I can admit I did like some of her stuff like shake it off and style but I guess that is just how it goes. She's been "Sweet" for so long can't hardly imagine her being "Bad" now.

This may seem like a weird question, but for the life of me I can't figure out what someone made her do? She keeps saying, "look what you made me do," over and over again, but neither the song or the video ever give an indication of anything she was made to do. It is just an empty series of images. More like a publicity photo shoot than anything with any meaning or depth to it.

It is just like an odd attempt to look like a bad girl when you are really not one.

I don't know, wasn't Taylor Swift the one who had the strange preoccupation with the number 13. I counted how many versions of herself there was in the end of the video and there were 15, but that would have been an obvious thing to avoid I would think.

Either way, this video doesn't really surprise me considering what she used to say about this lucky number 13. She said something about how it would just appear for her like some kind of special shooting star leading the way.

She would describe the number 13 the same way you could describe following a trail of bread crumbs someone laid out for you to follow thinking this was serendipitous or like the universe giving you a sign when really it was probably just someone manipulating her into thinking she was following some kind of predetermined destiny.

The main point that made me think of DID is when she is saying, "I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me."

That is the only thing that didn't really seem like a Taylor Swift type thing to say and it is common for many people with DID to have some type of tough altar like this.

I mean really, Taylor Swift still looks like a lifelike Precious Moments doll. The only people who wouldn't trust a Taylor Swift type would be if they knew that she was really the polar opposite of the way she appears. Otherwise, the average person is going to trust a Taylor Swift type. So the lyric just doesn't seem to fit, or be genuine at all. This is not something she would write for herself that is for sure.

I mean, if two people are robbing a liquor and one of them looks like Taylor Swift and the other looks like a white supremacist type from the Charlotteville rally, and they catch the white supremacist looking guy, and he narcs out the Taylor Swift looking one, and she says she wasn't stealing anything. A certain percentage of people are going to believe her just based on how she looks.

That is why celebrities are beneficial to introducing messages. Just compare the difference it would make if someone like Ice Cube were saying something like "look what you made me do."

If he said the same thing, this would gangster rap. You wouldn't need the video or the song to explain it. It would be about beating someone up for not paying for their weed or something. "Look what you made me do..."

He even has a song called Gangsta Rap Made Me Do It for comparison, lol.


But when Taylor Swift says it, it is still a cute little song and it is difficult to know what anyone made this sweet looking little girl do.

Even if you had someone like Nikki Minaj saying the same thing, it would mean something different. It would mean something hyper-sexualized just based on the what we expect from different people.

So that is something to think about, how having different people saying the same things can mean different things. It is an important thing to realize because it is often used to deceive people.

I'll take a guess and say that they made her kill all of her previous selves to expose the "bad girl" persona who will not take any bullshit.

Just saw that even Buzzfeed is getting into the symbolism fun!

It is kind of like one big glorified photo op. She is trying to stir the pot, or compete with the other Mk Ultra girls. She wants to be considered the best, or at least get the most attention from the "elite". And the thing someone made her do already happened. It happened like a month before she started working on this song.

I wont give out those kind of personal details, but I will say. Someone took her down a notch. Or at least made her feel so vulnerable or frustrated her life stopped making sense. Like she finally realized that money and cuteness can't get her everything. And I'm not saying she's dumb, but celebrities just get used to that lifestyle. Getting whatever they want.

I think the shots she is throwing out in the song are for real. But tend to agree there isn't that much behind them. She's a show off

The part of snake scene reminds me a masonic temple and the black altar which it has on the Vatican.
