Dropped from Parlophone after abysmal first week sales of her latest (and laughed off of Kickstarter after a Cher fan remembered her), Kylie takes to the streets to keep her career going, lights on, sandbags intact, whatever. In this inspiring clip, the former Australian superstar seemingly busks in the middle of a '90s Gap commercial where nan pedestrian stops for her, switching it up occasionally to direct traffic because it's less embarrassing an occupation than being a full-time has-been.
"If I Could Change Your Mind" is fabulous. The cHaimeography slays me. (I will gladly credit this semi-sexy makeover for their Best New Artist nomination this year.) And that Coachelle experience sounds amazing!
"7/11" is obviously a must inclusion and anyone who doesn't have it on their list is lying to themselves.
Lapsed alumni of that conversion therapy camp found in But I'm A Cheerleader, Taylor Allison Swift and Model Mayhem Bottom No. 83754 return to the grounds to reinstate some normalcy in their lives - their life, together. Things start off swell: couples' horseback riding, picnics, waltzing - all before **** hits fan and Boy gets caught texting his Randy Blue agent while Taylor - our dear Taylor - breaks character to reveal a lumberjack suppressed for far too long.
Taylor is subsequently banished from Nashville and relegated to pop. For shame.
Juan Luis Guerra (& 4.40) "Tus Besos"
Dir: Jean Gabriel Guerra
Splitting the difference between Johnny Rockets and Johnny Ventura, Juan Leyenda Guerra locks Meghan Trainor out of the diner long enough to film an entire, nicely choreographed cutesy video.
FKA Twigs "Two Weeks"
Dir: Nabil
Obligatory.
Katy "She Sent Me a Cake So I Had To" Perry "This Is How We Do"
Dir: Joe Kefali
IDCIDC I LOVE IT. That three scoop ice cream cone. The Pee Wee Herman homage. The gaffe.
Ugh.
Hozier "Take Me To Church"
Dir: Brendan Conty / Conal Thomson
Seems like I have a soft spot for any music video filmed in Williamsburg - both pre- and post-gentrification. Throw in Foghorn Leghorn In Heat, dope footwork and spontaneity and this becomes my favorite of the three, easily.
(I'm also really tired of being too spent after work to write as well as I'd like. )
Blank Space is really good! For the first time ever I loved a TS music video
Take Me To Church... I love that music video, so powerful
TIHWD is my favorite music video from PRISM! and Hideaway
Yes, TAYLOR!!! It has earned so many repeat views from me. Dying a bit at all these summaries, too.
So glad to see TIHWD here, it's the only song I can tolerate on PRISM and I was the only person who ever urged it to be a single when everyone was talking about "Birthday" and whatnot.
