Taylor Swift's Out of the Woods

Hahaha. Just when I'm studying, I searched Taylor Swift's new MV 'Out of the Woods' and dang it, I'm addicted.

     I dunno bout you guys, but I love Taylor Swift. She's pretty, she's talented, and despite all those dating rumours, I really appreciate her music. Her songs are fun, they're relatable, and her MVs are just gorgeous. 'We are Never Ever Getting Back Together' helps me get over a breakup, 'Love Story' brings me back to my high school days 'cause it was quite popular back then. 'Teardrops on My Guitar' makes great karaoke and just reminds me how rejection sucks. I love that cake-stabbing in 'Blank Space', hahaha. Maybe I'll make a cake like that someday. I know How To Cook That made that tutorial.

      So yeah, back to 'Out of The Woods'. I shall assume the song is not new, since it's part of her 1989 album. But the MV was released today, and if you haven't checked it out, just go.

     I admit though, this song isn't my utmost favourite compared to her previous work like 'Wildest Dreams'. I think it's because of the monotonous chorus (do you know how tiring it is to sing this part during karaoke??? X'D) and the style. Plus I feel like I have listened to some parts of the song before. Think of the song 'Style'.

     What I DO like about the song is the message it brings. Sure, it starts off typically about her losing a guy, but I like how she portrays the whole struggle of our inner conflicts in this MV and finished it off with her finding herself. The branches blocking her path and pulling her down. The wolves hungry and out to get her. The cold freezing her. The tall cliff. The heavy waves. The burning blazes of fire. Then her perfect self standing and overlooking the calm waves. Like, finally. After so much struggle. So much pain. We all went through personal growth and conflicts in our life. I find the symbolism of the MV encouraging and prompt me to never give up.

     I love her blue dress though. I wish I was a blonde. I mean, that sky colour, dang it. I can only rock dark blue or black dresses, haha.

     I don't hate the song, and even if I'm addicted, I can't say it's my favourite. But great MV, great message.
