“Swish Swish” takes a great song and turns it silly. This video could have been so much more – heck, if she didn’t want to fire a direct shot to the unsinkable Taylor Swift battleship, at least she could’ve fought her “old” persona or something. Listen, I GET that Katy Perry likes to be silly and quirky and “adorkable.” But this song was NOT the place to do it. I mean, LOOK AT THIS! I did some video editing in college using SuperVHS tape and an ancient computer, and I’m pretty sure I could’ve done better than this. I mean, for heaven’s sake, it’s a live-action cartoon.Īnd that’s not even the WORST of it. It has stupid special effects that 10 year-olds would think are HILARIOUS, featuring people that don’t register in their world. I don’t even get who the target audience is for this video. …and Terry Crews’ reaction was pretty much the same as mine when I saw the video. There are many people in this video whom I admire and appreciate – and they just embarrass themselves: Now listen, I’m still #TeamKaty, and I still love LISTENING to this song. First of all, 'Swish Swish' itself is rumored to be a response to Taylor Swifts 'Bad Blood,' which is in turn rumored to be about her feud with Katy Perry. Well… You get a steaming pile of video crap. Sometimes it works (Debbie Gibson! Darren Criss! REBECCA EFFING BLACK!), sometimes it just kind of fits the song, and sometimes. And on every album, she picks a single to give the cheesy, extended video treatment. We all know (and love) Katy Perry’s silly, whimsical persona. The Orange is the New Black star later back-tracked on her comments saying "being mean doesn't suit me.I’m not going to even embed it here – you don’t have the 6 and a half minutes to waste, because, let’s be honest… This video is a hot mess, and tries WAY too hard. Ruby then tweeted: "I just think with everything going on in the world to go from rebranding as political activist only to ditch it and go low. She tweeted: "'Purposeful poop' to 'bomb a petit' to a sloppy mess of writing over the top of Funkagenda.stop trying to make 'Wit.I mean "fetch" happen (sic)." One person who made it clear she's not a fan of the new track is Ruby Rose, the Australian actress and model who is part of Taylor's squad. Sounds like it could still be about Taylor Swift. And now this, Swish Swish, represents the liberation from all the negative that doesn’t serve you." Chained To The Rhythm was this political liberation. Multiple media outlets suspected that the song is about American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift and her 2015 single 'Bad Blood', which was believed to be about Perry. The song uses basketball metaphors to address Perry's bullies and detractors. "That’s kinda what this record is about. It’s just like 360-degree liberation. 'Swish Swish' is a house -inspired EDM and hip hop song that samples 'I Get Deep' by Roland Clark. "I think it’s a great anthem for people whenever someone’s trying to hold you down or bully you," Katy said. 12 June 2019 Getty Images The Bad Blood is officially over between Taylor Swift and Katy Perry Katy Perry and Taylor Swift fans probably never thought theyd see their idols on speaking.
