时隔三年,泰勒·斯威夫特(Taylor Swift)以暗黑系风格霸气回归。
新专辑《Reputation》的首支单曲《Look What You Made Me Do》的MV刚一发布,就像投下了炸弹,从粉丝到各大媒体都炸开了锅。
霉霉用这首MV宣布,过去的泰勒已死。
顺便把10年来的旧恨新仇全部清算了一遍,快准狠,招招致命。
目前首支发布的单曲《Look What You Made Me Do》刚出来就占据了各大榜单的榜首。
因为霉霉用这首MV宣布过去的泰勒已死,霉霉连在推特上的简介都改成了新歌中的经典歌词。
更有趣的事媒体和粉丝全部变成侦探,一帧一帧地分析画面里暗藏的线索。
1
MV一开场戏就足足的一个僵尸霉霉在往一个墓穴里铲土
The video opens on a graveyard, and one of the graves has the name Nils Sjoberg. This is the pseudonym that Taylor used when she co-wrote "This Is What You Came For" with Calvin Harris.
MV的开场是一个墓地,而其中的一个墓碑上刻着“Nils Sjöberg”。霉霉曾以这个笔名与加尔文·哈里斯(Calvin Harris)合写过一首歌 "This Is What You Came For" 。
*grave坟墓,扫墓我们可以说visit sb's grave
*pseudonym /ˈsjuː.də.nɪm/是笔名的意思,如果我们要说她用笔名写作那就可以说:
She writes under a pseudonym.
她用笔名写作。
*co-write 合写 co这个前缀表示共同

Dead Taylor is wearing the dress from the "Out of the Woods" music video. Guess she didn't make it out of the woods...
僵尸霉身上的裙子是MV《Out of the Woods》中穿的那条裙子。看起来她最终还是没能“走出森林”……
*out of the woods 表示to no longer be in danger or difficulty
脱离险境(或困境)

霉霉躺在一个盛满珠宝的浴缸里,雍容华贵,这一镜头也带着讽刺意味。
The shot of Taylor in a bathtub full of jewels reminds us of her quote in 2015 when she said that the media paints her as someone who sits at home and cries in a bathtub of pearls.
泰勒躺在满是珠宝的浴缸中的镜头让我们想起她在2015年说过的话,她说媒体喜欢把她写成一个呆在家里、坐在珠宝浴缸中哭泣的女孩。
也有分析说,这一幕是在讽刺霉霉的宿敌金·卡戴珊:
People are also speculating that Swift being surrounded by diamonds in a bathroom is a reference to Kim Kardashian's infamous October 2016 Paris robbery, where she was locked in a bathroom by gun-wielding intruders who stole millions of dollars worth of jewelry from her.
也有人猜测霉霉在浴室里钻石珠宝环绕的镜头是在影射金·卡戴珊去年10月在巴黎被抢劫的丑闻。当时卡戴珊被持枪劫匪关在浴室里,后者抢走了她价值数百万美元的珠宝。

有一幕刻画了一场车祸。而车内霉霉的装扮像极了她的老对手水果姐(Katy Perry)。
Here, Taylor suspiciously resembles longtime nemesis Katy Perry, wearing a leopard skin coat.
这一幕中,泰勒穿着一身豹纹,像极了她的死对头水果姐。
最有趣的是,这位“水果姐”手里还捧着一个格莱美奖杯。
The real shade comes when it’s clear Taylor/Katy is holding a Grammy award – an award Katy has famously never managed to win.
真正的影射在于霉霉/水果姐手里攥着一个格莱美奖杯,而这个奖水果姐从未拿到过手。
5
有一幕是霉霉戴着猫脸面具打劫流媒体公司。
Swift, wearing a shirt adorned with a tiger face and the words, "Blind for love," robs a streaming company in a cat mask.
霉霉罩着猫脸面具,穿着印有老虎脸和“为爱盲目”(Blind for love)的上衣,打劫一家流媒体公司。
这里暗指霉霉与流媒体公司的恩怨。
In 2015, Swift wrote a letter to Apple demanding compensation for artists whose music was streamed on Apple Music.
2015年,霉霉曾给苹果写信,要求针对苹果音乐上免费播放的音乐,给相关音乐人补偿。
至于衣服上的“Blind for love”,人觉得这是在暗指霉霉被大众八卦的恋爱生活。

The last 40 seconds of the video are truly ICONIC. Fifteen different Taylors stand in front of a jet plane, arguing.
最疯狂的部分出现在视频的最后40秒,当所有不同时期的15个泰勒同台出现,基本上囊括了以前所有关于她的言论。
*iconic表示出名或受欢迎的(尤指能代表某种观点或某一时代)
7
"Look What You Made Me Do" is a serious departure for the pop star, even considering the fact that she recently ditched the style that initially made her a household name.
The song's intro makes it sound like this will be yet another fairy tale—the kind that she has sung so many times before—but nothing could be further from the truth. After a few seconds, it becomes clear that this is not the Taylor we have all come to know and love (or hate).
对于霉霉来说,这首新单将开启新的篇章,尤其是考虑到她正在摒弃曾经的风格——即便她已经因此变得家喻户晓。
这首歌的引子听上去跟以往差不多,就像她以往作品那样,但是几秒钟后便画风一转:这肯定不是那个我们熟悉的泰勒·斯威夫特了。
*intro指歌曲的前奏
所以,暗黑版的霉霉,你喜欢吗?
