Taylor Swift tackles sexism in the cinematic video for new single ‘The Man.’
A tongue-in-cheek visual was directed by the Pop titan and – as folk will see – features her in the lead role too.
The track was released in promotion of her new Netflix documentary ‘Miss Americana’ and, perhaps intentionally, arrives on the heels of a much publisized spat with notable industry figures over control and ownership of her music.
Watch below as privilege, injustice, and inequality are prodded at like only Taylor can…
While the song hits a bit too on-the-nose lyrically, there’s no denying the potency of the video. Both its messaging and overall execution.
In this visual age, Ms. Swift gets “it” and is excitingly starting to sew powerful semantics into her output. All the while avoiding the preachy Pop pulpit and keeping things quirky and engaging.
Great video.

Lol. Hater spotted
She actually looks good as a man
Yassss gurl, get ittt

Right! It’s like Females get away with things a man can’t and men get away with things a woman can’t. It goes both ways.
“directed”
“written”
“owned”!!!!!!!

?????
Exactly gurl, holllerrr
?????
Women are given lighter sentences than men for committing the same crimes.
S****** rate is higher in men than women
Mortality rate is higher in men than women
Work fatalities are higher in men than women.
Why no comment on Halsey’s album that came out 1 month ago already being certified platinum? Aww. I thought you said Camila was slaying 2020 by being the only female artist with 4 songs on the charts. Aww. Why isn’t her album platinum then? Sophomore slump. Even with Senorita the sh*t still isn’t platinum? Probably best you don’t reply since you’ll just be dragging yourself with any defense you throw out 😉
Gurl bye
The fact that there is a “No Scooters allowed” sign next to her album names at 1:00 is just hilarious! ?❌
0:50 LMAOOOOO A NO SCOOTER SIGN!!!!!!!!!!! TAYLOR REALLY HAS A WAY OF GETTING CLEVER MESSAGES INTO A VIDEO!
?☺️☺️
Lol I feel ya
Taylor rocks!
2:06 The way in which Taylor reflects that society applauds and flatters a man for being with his daughter, while he was a garbage all day …
I know right?
I see it?
I am so proud of Taylor, she blew me away!!! This is a masterpiece!!!!!
????????
?
This song has honestly made such a huge differens in my life lately
Taylor Swift You are the Queen!❤️
Me too?
Truly a Queen??
Taylor: “I’II be just like Leo”
THE CROWD: “IN SAINT TROPEZ”
Yesssss ?
St tropez???
Queen ?
“No scooter allowed”
The shade tho?
Lol???
QueenTaylor and her Legendary Lane. Congrats are in order!!! She’s one of the very few that can shift large scale (historically) of albums and singles. She may not be a string vocalist but she’s a true artist who can sing, write, play and produce her own records. Give credit where it’s due and don’t be mad because your fav can’t even come close to Taylor’s level. Speak on #facts
??????I’m Rihanna fan and I applaud her on what she’s accomplished may not listen to her but I’m just one person
Agreed. You have a point gurl
I wonder how men that Taylor had?? She always had the hottest guys. Sis yeast infection watch out
Those guys are hot
How about she tackle the white privilege she surely benefits from instead
She only benefits from this so called privledge cause she lives in a white domaint place.
Wonder if she would benefit from this in india or Nigeria. I think not.
Huh? You don’t make sense. I’m not talking about “what if’s” I’m talking about reality.
Anyone could understand America is mostly white thus its gonna be easier if you’re white. It’s not rocket science.
If she lives in India now? How’s her white privledge gonna help her there? Or Nigeria.. Is she topping the charts there? I bet not.
You still don’t make sense lol. Should I have said “the white privilege she benefits from in AMERICA”? Does that make you feel better?
Yeh just like the black privledge in Nigeria or Asian privledge in India.
I don’t understand why white people need to fee bad about being white in a white people domainted place.. Are black people called out for their privledge in Nigeria? Are they made to feel bad about minorities there? Naww.
you are mentally disabled if you think black people are privileged in any part of this world (including Nigeria). Majority and privilege are not the same thing, honey. I can tell you’re uneducated in this department, so I suggest you either finish school or do some intense research on this subject before you ever speak on it again in public. You’re embarrassing yourself.
With your idiotic argument, why aren’t you telling her “there are more men than women, so stop complaining about men being more privileged than women”?. Does that make sense? No.
Meanwhile the entire point of this video is to complain about being in a male-dominated society.
Why is she privledged? Cause she’s rich? Then there’s many people from other races that are also rich.
You said talk about her white privledge?
I think if a white person and a black person went to Nigeria, the black person would be treated different. That’s black privledge.

Bye Felicia
Good for her! I guess playing the victim a millionth time work. The standards in the music industry is at a all time low. Stiff non rhythmic pitchy slanky mediocrity is what’s popular for now.
You are just hateful and jealous bish
But I thought moving away from country was going to end her career? Slay Taylor (even though Wildest Dreams is the biggest Lana ripoff ever recorded that is not by Borde).
She became more famous actually and keep reaching new heights ?
How far is your fish? Lol
Lily Allen’s ‘Hard Out Here’ >>
Talentless nazi supporting flop
You just described Normani. Yes she definitely is. Bye Felicia!
A privilege white woman complaining about not having the same privilege as a white man. Ground breaking. So glad this girl is on her way out.
I don’t support Taylor, but she’s got another 5-6 years at least of chart slaying. I wouldn’t doubt this video makes the song go to #1.
Jealous haters are losing it,???
Wow he’s a good looking babe/daddy here
Taylor you’re hot either as man or woman ?
Yes he is?
I was like “wow he’s hot” and then I saw that it was Taylor and I was like “I’m questioning my sexuality” anyway fantastic job ygg!
Hail to the

Lol, and you think Beyoncé did?
Congrats to the Artist of the Decade!!!
Congrats Taylor Swift ?
We will never find another like her?
#TaylorSwiftForever ❤️
Exactly gurl. Taylor makes me fell “Good As Hell”
And KFC is life, original chicken there has good juice. Lol
“The Man” looks like a combination of Tom Cruise + Adam Scott
For me it’s like a mix of Jake Gyllenhaal and Chris Evans.
So she’s basically Tom Cruise on that Oprah interview.
LMFAO ?
Let’s be honest, Tyler Swift is hot. He is the man!!
Yassssszzzz???????
Let’s be honest, Tyler Swift is hot. He is the man!!

The old Taylor can’t come to the phone rn
Why
Oh,cause she is THE MAN
Hahahaha
Well this was certainly different from what i had in mind when i heard the audio for the song…she went quite literally there lmao
The question is: Was Taylor that old man too?
I guess so lol
4:10 the side by side is crazy the makeup was so great.
Taylor swift looks hotter dressed up as a guy than most guys I know ?
The relevancy of this song hits a whole new level after the most disgusting and selfish act done on our beautiful Taylor by men~ Scott Borchetta and Scooter Braun~in power. IStandWithTaylor <3
Taylor Swift will be criticized for everything she does. The haters will always have negative things to say. That right there proves how special she is. She is a living legend.
Another day, another slay for Tay Tay! ???
Love Taylor ❤❤
She’s makes great points in her music.
Fun vid. Lost battle.
Penis envy is lethal to women who STILL wanna be cherished after coming home from the office by an alpha mate (good luck). Why compete when your power lies in manipulating your gender’s “foe” to your whims?
Men are polygamous by design bcuz their jizz reservoirs were meant to fill up and spill out to ensure humanity surviving recurrent earthly disasters.
So what if testosterone makes him wanna win in public? A smart woman profits from wins he brings her home – a safe place she can lazily raise kids in.
A woman boss WILL get male respect reserved usually for their mothers, but ain’t no capable alpha male marrying her tux-and-tie aşş. Then, such woman has the naivete to lament attracting only beta leeches. Duh … heterosexual relations operate under energy polarity. You show up in your masculine, he gives you his feminine, and vice versa.
In the game of “Who’s The Dude”, women will always lose. For, if stripped of laws that jail men on the mere ground of an abuse accusation, women are physically weaker. And THAT’S what endears ’em to men!
Taylor CAN act bossed up cuz she has a fledgling young actor for a live-in lover/ dependent/ kept boy for a boyfriend. She’s the breadwinner. Her past relationships failed bcuz the guys were as (if not more) successful than she, which made her attempt to emasculate em backfire into breakups.
Ariana, Madonna, Charlize and other accomplished ballbusters can relate to the song. But all its message is doing to the average girl with minimum wage is lead her astray buying into a lost war while fattening Ms. Swift’s wallet and her Im-singlehandedly-changing-societal-mindsets-here ego.
Essay over.
