Apple Music is 'Distractingly Good' for Taylor Swift in New Ad

[Dave245]

[doublepost=1459520721][/doublepost]Just a silly question. I'm looking for good BlueTooth headphones. Does anyone know what Taylor is wearing in this hysterical commercial?

It's the power beats wireles Beats by Dre

Taylor Swift is the one that's distracting. Ooh la la.

I guess she's patched up her relationship with Apple since calling them out on the 3 months of free Apple Music without royalties.

Well that was a bit of a strange one, but an interesting and smart marketing tactic to have the spokesperson themselves release it through social media. Funny how she went from boycotting Apple Music to becoming the poster child. As for the ad itself, I feel like it was a little unbalanced. She got into the music a little too fast for it to feel realistic. A slower buildup to her getting into it and going wild with her gestures would have been more appropriate before she had her spill.

When is that new marketing guy starting again? This is shockingly bad. Not Genius bad but pretty close.

 

[CFreymarc]

She does he own stunts!

 

[Dilster3k]

The real CEO of the company. All hail!!!

 

[sashimimi]

How distractingly biased

 

[PortableLover]

I wouldn't really listen to this track. Doesn't appeal to me at all, lols were had when taylor fell though

 

[kevinacote17]

I agree that it's too long and it didn't feel like an apple ad to me.

 

[RogueWarrior65]

Watching Swift face-plant just made my morning.

 

[bbeagle]

She doesn't really do it for me. I dunno maybe I think she's a little too thin, or maybe it's the fact that I find her extremely annoying.

People grow to have different ideas of beauty. I find it funny that so many people think there is ONE version of beauty. That's completely ridiculous.

For example, I'd totally date the brunette here, but not the blonde. I'm more a personality guy. I'm sure many people would think the exact opposite.

 

[WarHeadz]

I actually liked it, it was pretty funny.

 

[Statusnone88]

How is she so perfect? I'm going to re sign up for Apple Music just because I think Taylor might date me if I do. Wish me luck!

It is "Distractingly Good", but yet after it messed up my 10yr-old iTunes library (for the second time, iTunes Match was first.) I switched to Spotify. 10 Years of play counts, custom-imported album artwork and more wend to waste twice. I'm not spending one more minute in iTunes. Too bad, if it would work as intended it would be perfect.

I guess that's Apple new tagline lately: "If it would work as intended, it would be perfect."
(I say this as an Apple fan.)

 

[Mackinjosh]

No web interface. No ability to stream it to PS4. Tied to iTunes. LOL no thanks, Apple.

 

[coolfactor]

All I'm thinking is...

... "Dang. Is she okay?"

I wonder how many takes it took? I found the negative start to the ad a bit of a turn-off, but I love the spin at the end! Feels raw, which is a nice twist.

I see Taylor as a glimpse into the future. Doesn't she look like women in "future-era" movies? Kinda worried that she may represent what's coming. Although at the same time, her huge influence may actually get a few people onto the treadmill that really need it.

 

[Mlrollin91]

I normally really like Apple's ads, but this one was just stupid.

 

[white4s]

she don't need cardio, she needs squats

You'll just end up as another break-up song...

Apple #LostThePlot.

The problem with this ad is it’s too long and it’s not entirely funny. If Swift needs to be in an ad, then get her in one that is at least witty. That’s what’s missing. There is no punch to this ad, just a head drop onto a conveyor belt.

I prefer the short Apple Watch ads. Or, the Mac/iPod ads where product features front and centre.

Colors - 1999

Breakdance - 2004

Envelope - 2008

Paint - 2008

Style - 2015

To be fair they've had a some bad ads in the past and some good ads more recently too.

 

[darkknight14]

I liked this Ad, good job Apple!

 

[GenesisST]

It's funny how both  and Taylor Swift have moved on, but Nerds haven't...

Well, when I really like a song it takes me less than 2 seconds to go wild, even starting to dance if I'm at home, so hey for me it's realistic. Depends on what kind of person you are I guess.

Some of those those songs I go crazy with, I just love those songs:

It takes Two (1987 Hiphop song by Rob Base)
Only Way is up (Yazz 1988), Tainted Love (Softcell 1982)
Tell Him (The Exciters 1965), Good Lovin' (Young Rascalls))
No Sleep Tonight (Faders 2005) Suddenly I See (KT Tunstall 2005)
Ray of Light (Madonna 1997), Don't Stop the Music and Pon the Replay (Rihanna 2007 and 2005)
Pump up the Volume (MARS 1989) 3AM Eternal (KLF 1991)
Smack my Bitch Up (The Prodigy 1997), Galvanize (Chemical Brothers 2005)
Fade (Kupper Mix) (Solu Music 2006)
Wearing My Rolex (Wiley 2000s)
Buffalo Stance (Neneh Cherry 1989)

Hate to break it to you, but she is engaged.
