For many weeks, Taylor Swift's fans are theorizing that a new album will be released on April 26. Thanks to the hints and clues that Taylor has been giving, the theories and speculations deduced were somehow true. However, instead of welcoming a new album on the said date, a new single has been given, titled ME!.
Taylor Swift's newest single, ME!, features Brendon Urie of Panic! At The Disco. And just like what the fans have speculated, this new single has been released on Friday, April 26. But aside from just being a new single, this new song from Taylor Swift gives a new perspective on the artist.
As you may know, her last album, Reputation, which was released way back in 2017, has become a very controversial matter in the music industry. Not only that Taylor Swift has changed her and her songs' dynamic, theme, and appearance, but this album of hers is somewhat dark in comparison with her other albums.
The message of Reputation is clear, and that is the old Taylor is dead. This phrase is pretty familiar because it has been emphasized in one of her Reputation's tracks, specifically in Look What You Made Do. Alongside the dark and deep message of the album, her appearance in all of the music videos in this album is quite surprising as well.
But even so, gone are the days of the scaley and edgy Taylor Swift. And her latest single is just proof of her newfound self. CNN Entertainment claims that ME! is likely a message to everyone that old Taylor Swift is back. It's like an introduction to the same self that the fans have always known.
Although this is just a speculation, many fans still find it as a thing to rejoice for. But while many think that this single a re-introduction to the original Taylor Swift, Taylor, herself, revealed that this song is actuality about individuality. She also mentioned that ME! aims to empower all of the people to be simply themselves.
It is also worth noting that the first part of the music video tells a very important message to everyone. The snake turning into a butterfly largely depicts what happened to her as per critics and fans.
As you may recall, snakes have become the symbols of Reputation. And it seems like Taylor Swift is already letting go of that to become the butterfly that she truly is.
