Taylor Swift Dances Like No One's Watching in Newest Apple Music Ad

[Analog Kid]

Time to rename this site to MacHaters.com. Clearly this ad was not targeted at me or most of the people who might frequent this site. But if you can't see how this is a good ad for the Apple brand, then you might be having trouble seeing past your own geek perspective. They didn't get to where the are by having Woz dance on a table, although I'd be all for that.

Make it rain, Woz! Woop! Woop!

Okay, I liked this one. Good song, fun to watch her dance. Not everything needs to be funny-funny-ha-ha.

She is in charge of Apple. Tim takes order from her like when she imposed him to pay singers during Apple Music free trial and Tim immediately obliged and like the biggest whipped looser even HIRED HER!!!! Tim Kardashian needs to go. Steve would have never allowed this. Carl Icann calls Tim and tells him what he has to do with Apple's money including paying dividend. Tim oblige right away. This CEO is a real looser and needs to go.

It was all fun and exciting with her first commercial for Apple Music. Would be much nicer if Apple would move on to other ideas for new ads. Again and again with this concept eventually gets old.

Irony is the person who lambasted your product becoming the face of it.

Make NO mistake... Apple isn't stupid. This began when TS rightfully struck out at Apple, giving them a piece of her mind.

Instead of a knee jerk response, Apple did their research. That revealed just how powerful, smart, dignified and successful Taylor Swift truly is. Immediately Apple tucked in its tail, got humble and made amends. Then Apple did what Apple does best, they paid her the big bucks to participate in their marketing campaign.

No matter what you think of her music, she's one of the world's most popular and significant entertainment celebrity's of all time. I found her story very interesting.

I'd love it if Taylor Swift, thinking no one is watching, was caught cutting loose a big manly FART, and someone captured it on video, then uploaded to YouTube.

She'd just...shake it off.

WHAT?? someone had to say it...

I felt the same!!!
[doublepost=1463109628][/doublepost]This advert is far more enjoyable than half those new Apple Watch ones... ooo look my watch told me its going to rain....

 

[amegicfox]

she is so greedy, so annoying and so ugly. an egomaniac like Tim Kardashian. She should just disappear with dufus Tim and let someone else represent Apple

I fail to understand Apple's fascination with Taylor Swift

 

[Dr.Chroma]

When I Swift in these Apple video's, it's like oil and Water, it just doesn't mix. A little redundant with her.

 

[DUCKofD3ATH]

Cute vid. She's got a good sense of self-mockery. Like in "Shake it Off" she can poke fun at herself for not being a good dancer.

 

[ReneR]

Whats particularly American about it ? This kind of thing happens everywhere

Not a good dancer? Did we see the same vid??

The way Apple Music (led by DrDre) is associating itself with the synthetic no-brain pop that spews from this person by the name Taylor Swift , is making me veeery nervous about their ways that they've chosen. And the music of the so called rock band The Darkness is not helping much, either.

I know. Just like I fail to understand Apple's iTunes fascination with rap, ghetto music, and more rap. Completely dominates the front end of the iTunes Store.

 

[b001ean]

Jeez. We've had enough Swift apple, move on

Actually, developers quite like Swift.

I'll see myself out.

 

[supersalo]

I'm not a TS fan but Apple is gonna garner a lot of positive brand recognition with teens and millennials using her in their ads. Crazy to think it wasn't along ago she was bashing them for Apple Music. Props to Apple's marketing team for turning this around in a significant way.

Agree. I'm not a Taylor Swift fan, but it is smart on Apple's part to do this.

 

[attila]

Well it wasn't worse than the boyfriend playlist ad...

 

[Robert.Walter]

Do people really do this?

Concessions, money and publicity can work wonders...

 

[pmbooks]

She threw down her phone. Does that void her warranty?

 

[DUCKofD3ATH]

Huh? It's not a closely held secret that she's not a good dancer (not as bad as Jewel, whew!). Even she admits it:

"We have these incredible ballerinas who can do anything with their bodies, and me who can do relatively nothing…All the worst mom and dad dances moves you could ever think of."
​

All of "Shake it Off" was her poking fun at her dancing.

No, it's not self-mockery. It's called acting vulnerable so people can connect and throw money at you thinking they are just like you. Her image consultant is not a dumbass, and is very careful of what he allows her to say and do. He did a great job when he choose her brand to be "approachable" and it clearly is paying off, and we will see more of her "not taking herself too seriously" BS in the next coming months.

I know. Just like I fail to understand Apple's iTunes fascination with rap, ghetto music, and more rap. Completely dominates the front end of the iTunes Store.

And don't forget Taylor Swift. I stopped looking at "for you" section in itunes, because it's now 80% taylor swift, 19% rap, and 1% country. Not a single one of those is in my library.

What she was doing was not dancing. It was booty shaking, yes. As petite blondes go, she looked pretty good doing it. Keeping her clothing on probably was good strategic decision.

"Butt" it was not dancing; not really.

So she's feigning being a decent, well-adjusted human being? And that's a bad thing why?

Oh it's not. I don't like her because she is everywhere and I don't want her shoved down my throat. But that's it.

I think she and her image consultant are GENIUS and deserve the millions they are raking in. I'm just annoyed by people who think she is this innocent decent person because of what she looks like in ads and music videos. We are evolving yet still having a hard time distinguishing reality from entertainment thinking that what you see on TV is real.

Yet I assume you have no proof that she's not as she seems. Why do you think she's faking it?
