They are literally nothing alike. I don't remember an old woman abusing diet drugs, a fantasy game show, or cocaine busts in Rihanna's video.
Right. Those scenes with the rapidly dilating eye pupil and the drugs running through the bloodstream, and all those quick camera cuts are nothing like that movie (sarcasm).
People have been drawing parallels between RFAD and WFL ever since WFL came out.
This Taylor vid falls flat because Swift isn't that good of an actress, nor does she have the persona to pull this off. So much of why WFL worked for Rihanna is because it was believable.
