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.
