One thing he is absolutely right on this is... well just how dated this already sounds.

This is the song equivalent of that one friend in high school who wrote a "new year, new me." post that amounted to a different haircut and an urge to throw a middle finger up when taking pictures. It's just all a bit lame and boring. It's pretty terrible. 'Blank Space' from her last album also used the public perception of her as its concept, and did it way better. I understand she holds a lot of power, but no one in her circle thought to say "Guys, this is a piece of shit."?

Right Said Fred... that makes more sense. I thought it was Me So Horny mixed with Holding Out For a Hero.

Nice to see another Todd request so soon.
I'm not really up on modern-day pop (aside from what I see from Todd's reviews) so this is the first I've heard of this song. I feel I was better off not knowing it existed.
This is practically guaranteed to be on Todd's Worst of 2017 list.

My most hated 2016 song was his favorite and the one I enjoyed was his most hated. |

The video is entertaining at least, but the song is just bad. And I'm someone who at least somewhat enjoyed a lot of Taylor Swift's stuff off 1989.

Wouldn't be surprised if this made the Worst list. This is not a good song by any standard.

This song could easily be used for torture purposes. I don't normally care what comes on the radio, but I viscerally hate this song.

Wouldn't be surprised if this made the Worst list. This is not a good song by any standard. I'd go a step further and say this has a good chance of ending up number one on that list, if not at least top five. Todd has said, on a few occasions, that his pick for Worst Song of the Year isn't necessarily the the worst song from a purely musical perspective, or even the one he hated the most, it's the one that had the least reason of being made (see: "7 Years", "Marvin Gaye (and Get It On)", "Roar"). This song manages to fulfill both requirements by not only being an absolutely shit song, but also probably marking the nadir of Taylor Swift's career. |

One thing I dislike about this song, and really the progression of Taylor's career over the past few years, is how she's gone from writing songs encapsulating the emotions of her fans to writing songs so determinedly insular that I have no idea of how anyone can relate to them.
It's not even so much Taylor singing about her recent tabloid drama that's the problem here. The song is just so wrapped up in vague metaphors and allusions that I have no idea what the hell it's supposed to be about. Writing doesn't need metaphors to be good.
Her most loyal fans will still quote it though (and they have, judging from what I've seen on social media).
