Suck it, Disney: Taylor Swift’s “Bejeweled' video is the live-action Cinderella remake that we deserve.
I refuse to weigh in on that matter, but I will share one opinion I have: Its worst song is “Bejeweled,” track nine. “Bejeweled” is like a forgotten Jack Antonoff production that he passed off to Taylor, so that she could fill out her tracklist. It’s aB-side, something not sufficiently campy enough to fit alongside the insufferable “ME!” or “You Need to Calm Down.” Swift has no business calling anyone “baby love,” as if she’s Diana Ross.
“Bejeweled” only works for me if I think about it as a song from the perspective of the hugely popular puzzle game. That way, it’s at least kinda funny—not just an extraneous self-affirming kiss-off on an album with other, better ones.to receive a music video, I sighed deeply.
