It took me a few weeks, but after sitting with
Taylor Swift's music video for her latest single "
We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," I can now comfortably admit that I like both the song and the video. While she still painfully markets herself as a "Country" musician, I'm willing to look past that strictly because of the catchiness of the new track. The accompanying video took me a little while to cling on to, but now I can comment on it and give it the consideration it deserves. The
Declan Whitebloom-directed video was shot in one continuous take, featuring
Taylor doing a number of quick changes while we are distracted by her furry band. It's a cute video, with the singer treading lightly on being a pseudo-hipster (really? cable-knit walls?) but it's really cute and pretty darn creative. Check it out and watch out for
Taylor's new album
Red which is due out on October 22!
