🎵wish she’d edited this album down from 3 million songs to like 12 solid ones, but this song is a solid bop.

That remix question reminded me of this one.
Taylor Swift is a complicated woman. Whether due to bravery, curiosity, or some sort of witch’s curse, she seems dogged in her attempts to replicate music with which she has no experience or familiarity, the results of which are sometimes—like in this case—frustratingly better than expected. Kendrick Lamar’s entire production team is behind this single for 2022’s Midnights, and it’s got the same direct-injection powertrain of earlier bulldozers like Mine and Cornelia Street, with a great little melody skipping over the top and none of the lyrical mishaps that tend to go bump under the wheels of some of her other songs. And yet: it spends its entire 3 and a half minute runtime blindfolded and tied to a folding chair. We don’t get to see anything it can do. Eventually it sort of tips itself over and waves its legs in the air like a bug and dies. That’s it.
I don’t understand what happened in the studio but there are at least several dozen people, mostly on SoundCloud rather than the remix album she seems to have helmed, that have taken this thing outside and brought it up to cruising speed. Once it gets going you can really feel it all lit up in neon, 14-inch talons, sparks skittering off where it touches the concrete. It’s a fantastic song I think. Probably one of her best. I wish I knew why it got the CIA treatment.

😀This isn't just someone giving you a song recommendation. This is the beginning of the rest of your life. Stop and put this song on and come right back here. I'll pause. Okay, now try playing this song 10 more times. Are you sick of it? No you're not. Because it's impossible to be sick of. If you put this song on at a party, no matter who the audience is, everyone will dance. People will stop and ask, "who put this on?". Then, someone will point to you. You'll do a little shrug and act coy, but it'll feel really cool. Anyways, give it a listen <3
