EVERYONE, THIS IS YOUR WOMAN OF THE YEAR! INFLUENCING YOUNG WOMEN EVERYWHERE! WHEEEE.
Well, someone had to say it.
“You Belong With Me” is really rather creepy on so many levels. In addition to the slut-shaming and virgin/whore dichotomy that the video makes painfully blatant, it’s really rather stalkery. And stalking is not good. A girl stalking a guy should NOT be treated as less creepy than a guy stalking a girl.
