Better trash than3/4/2023 But that feels a lot less bad than a dumpster fire of racism, misogyny and plugs for a topless club. Swift’s trash talk makes the world seem like a stereotypical high school perhaps. But it does what the most entertaining parts of trash talk are supposed to be: pulls out old grudges, words, promises and feuds and gives them new life. Sure, it’s not the greatest trash talk that music has ever produced or even close to it. In terms of trash talk, it shows an impressive ability to continue to dramatize a feud we thought we were all tired of. While not mentioning Kanye West by name, the song’s lyrics (West notably used a tilted stage on his recent Saint Pablo tour) alongside the phone voice appear to reference her long, public feud with the rapper. “The old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now,” she says. Towards the end of the song, Swift uses an effect that approximates singing through a phone. “The role you made me play: of the fool/ No, I don’t like you.” Later, she sings, “The world moves on / Another day another drama, drama / But not for me, Not for me / All I think about is karma.” “I don’t like your little games/ I don’t like your tilted stage,” Swift viciously sings. Kardashian leaked what appeared to be recordings of conversations Swift denied had happened … which as pointed out by Rolling Stone, among many others, appears to be referenced in the song’s lyrics. Earlier this year, the feud between West and Swift rose again after a very public disagreement over whether or not Swift had given West permission to include her name in one of his tracks. Take, for example, this internet theory about a reference to the movie Mean Girls - which would be a pointed jab at Swift rival Katy Perry who once likened Swift to the movie’s villain, Regina George.Īnd then, there’s Kanye and Kim. When Taylor Swift dropped her new song this week and the lyrics reignited a feud with Nicki Minaj, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West and Katy Perry with straight- to-the-heart clever and incredibly pointed jabs, we had to wonder: Is this better than what the fighters have offered us in past few weeks during the run-up to the big PPV? They - and all people looking to keep drama ignited for long periods of time - could take a page out of Taylor Swift’s book. But we had higher hopes for these two, who have proven to be pretty excellent trash talkers before the fight was confirmed.) (Yes the back-and-forth about Mayweather’s IRS troubles was pretty funny at the press conference last month. McGregor said some pretty racist stuff and trolled Mayweather’s history of domestic violence, while Mayweather mostly just guarantees that he’ll win in sort of vague and not very entertaining terms and then promotes his gentleman’s club which is awkwardly named “Girl Collection.” Floyd Mayweather and Conor McGregor’s upcoming fight may be a good or bad fight but there’s one thing that has been particularly disappointing in leading up to the big event: The trash talk in the past six weeks.
