Is Taylor Swift Just a Big Rip Off of Lana Del Rey?

[PARADIXO 32,925]

 

We all know Lana is one of the most influential female artists of the decade. She inspires huge stars and independent, brand new ones. But today, we're going to talk about Taylor Swift, Billboard's America's sweetheart. Is there any bad blood between these pop singers? Or just the typical celebrity-hardcore fan relationship? Let's see...

 

TAYLOR SWIFT BEFORE LANA DEL REY...

 

 

What an innocent princess!

 

Some of her old lyrics...

"I realize you love yourself more than you could ever love me, so go and tell your friends that I'm obsessive and crazy. That's fine, I'll tell mine that you're gay!"

"It's the morning of your very first day. You say 'Hi' to your friends..."

"You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard"

"I'm captivated by you, baby, like a firework show"

 

Some of her old videos...

Please, post so I can continue

[PARADIXO 32,925]

What about her most recent album, the smash No. 1 record-breaking 1989?

 

 

 

So hipster!

[Subversive 2,214]

Expose her

[PARADIXO 32,925]

Read some of her new lyrics, hmm...

 

"Distance, timing, breakdown, fighting, silence..."

Describing a tragic relationship? I've seen it before

"Wining and dining, drinking and driving, excessive buying, overdose and dying"

 

"Oh my God, look at that face"

You love your lover's face, huh? Why doesn't it make you party then?

"Oh that face makes me wanna party"

 

"You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye and I got that red party dress lip classic thing that you like [...] You got that long hair, slicked back, white t-shirt and I got that good girl faith and a tight little skirt"

What is all this Instagram imagery?

But wait... there's more Lana-inspired lines in "Style"!

"Takes me home, lights are off"

"Lights, camera, acción... if he likes me, takes me home"

He can take you home Tay, but he won't put you in the Oscar-winning movie Tropico!

 

And now, Lana's best megamix, "Wildest Dreams"!

"Let's get out of this town, drive out of the city, away from the crowds [...] This is gonna take me down" vs Lucky Ones' "Let's get out of this town, baby we're on fire. Everyone around here seems to be going down, down, down"

 

"He's so tall and handsome as hell" vs American's "You were like, tall, tan" vs National Anthem's "God, you're so handsome!"

 

"Say you'll remember me standing in a nice dress" vs Blue Jeans' "Say you'll remember..." And, of course, the iconic comparison between "Wildest Dreams"' melody and "Without You"'s.

 

There's more!

 

"Looking at it now... last December... we were built to fall apart"

"But I still remember the day we met in December..."

 

"It's been a long 6 months"

"Remember me the way I was 6 months ago"

 

Taylor isn't that dumb and she doesn't want the world to know she's the biggest Lana Del Rey fan, and that's why she says "clear blue" in "This Love" instead of the legendary "dark blue".

 

"You stand with your hand on my waist"

"Put your hands on my waist, do it softly"

 

"You're still all over me like a wine-stained dress"

What? Hmmm... wine is usually red so, does she have a little red party dress on?

Y'all need to post if you want me to continue, it took me like 2 hrs 

[Subversive 2,214]

Drag ha

[PARADIXO 32,925]

We had enough with her lyrics. Taylor's videos changed a lot since Born to Die... what a coincidence, no?

 

In "Blank Space" she looks really angry and ultraviolent.

 

 

Taylor's "Style" was on point last summertime.

I'd say she even looked "fucking crazy"

You're doing such a great job. I never had a good impression on Tay Tay but man did you change it..
