At first I was very conflicted about the low tone chorus following the initial build up but listening again I appreciate it more. I now think it actually works pretty well. The problem is that the rest of the song doesn't quite get anywhere (expect the part where she says the old Taylor is dead) and there's just too much repetition. But it's not nearly as terrible as people say and certainly not as terrible as Katy Perry's. Shake it Off wasn't even top 5 of 1989 for me anyway so I'm still looking forward to the rest.
