Renowned Video Director Comes to Taylor Swift’s Defense – You Won’t Believe What He Revealed!
Joseph Kahn, the director behind Taylor Swift’s record-breaking music video for “Look What You Made Me Do,” took to Twitter to address gendered double standards within the industry. He expressed his frustration with the perception that when a man plans something, he is considered a genius, while a woman, like Taylor Swift, is seen as manipulative. He emphasized the presence of double standards and called it wrong.
The first single from Swift’s upcoming album Reputation has garnered mixed reviews from critics, with some applauding it as a new direction for the singer, while others criticize it as petty and flawed. The music video for the single, which premiered during MTV’s Video Music Awards, also sparked controversy, with some drawing comparisons between stills from the video and BeyoncĂ©’s “Formation.”
Kahn, in response to these allegations, defended the video by stating that it was not in BeyoncĂ©’s art space and expressed his love and respect for her. He highlighted his admiration for BeyoncĂ©, whom he had worked with multiple times, while asserting that Swift’s video was a separate entity.
The music video for “Look What You Made Me Do” set a new record by averaging 30,000 views per minute in its first 24 hours. It currently holds the title for the most YouTube and Vevo global streams within a 24-hour period.
