I find it so strange that Me! gets so much hate while Paper Rings is very loved by Swifties. Those two are very similar songs for me: fun, happy songs with simple lyrics, that you just bop to not because they are deep, but because they are full of joy. Yet one is so hated while the other is beloved.

For me (hee-hee-heeee), the song is born from insecurity. In a way, it eerily echoes the messages from 'You're Losing Me' in that her lover sees her as a possibly difficult person to love/be with. The author has a lower sense of self worth so is desperately doing anything they can to be seen as valid and worthy of love. Like, "yeah I know that you sigh whenever I want to spend time with you because I'm feeling insecure and that you're probably getting fed up of me BUT I'm actually a really fun person and not a burden to be with!? Like look I love rainbows and unicorns - I'm so much more than the bad things you only seem to bring up about me!! If you spend time with me then I can make sure we absolutely have fun because I'm actively trying to show you all the things :)' Also, the pandemic happened within a year of it's release where we as a society started to look at media in a different way and no longer wanted a rose-tinted view on life and instead craved/seeked more authentic realism. When looked at from that perspective, the fun in your face pop sound it has comes across as ingenuine and also explains why people have grown to dislike it more. We grew tired of 'just dance and everything will be okay!!!' and wanted to be more honest with our feelings because the reality is that things aren't okay and we're not going to pretend like they are. I hope that makes sense :')

For me, the difference between ME! and Anti-Hero is night and day. ME! is so un-personal, where Anti-Hero feels like a stark look into her own depression, which makes me go "I will also stare directly at the sun but not the mirror, excuse me while I sob." Even Shake It Off is more specific than ME! Taylor Swift is such a compelling artist because of how personal her music is. She didn't write a song about loss and grief, she wrote a song about losing HER grandmother, which makes me sob thinking about mine because it's more relatable and real than any generic loss song could ever be. ME! isn't a bad song, but when it has to stand up to the rest of her discography, it just falls flat. Don't get me wrong, I know every word and I'll bop in the grocery store. It's just not on my regular playlist.

I think when she wrote it, her frame of mind was that she might have children and she wanted to have songs for kids. I vaguely remember her saying something about ME! being a good song for kids. Things for kids tend to make older people (teens and up) cringe. I remember a lot of hatred for the kids character Barney the Dinosaur. Preschoolers and under LOVED Barney but there were entire websites devoted to killing him. So I guess you can't please everyone with every song. Thanks for the analysis- I've always wondered about the response to ME!

That’s actually really cool. As a teacher, I’ve noticed that she does a lot of things to make even her more mature songs kid friendly. For example, most of the non the non-explicit versions of her songs actually replace the removed words with real lyrics instead of just muting the words. “Flexing like a VEGAS acrobat.” “Like an UNHINGED outlaw.” “Your contrarian WIT.” Etc. Even in Vigilante S*, she changes the final “on my vigilante s* again” to a really cool, extended, stylized “on my vigilante SHHHHHHHH! again.” These changes make the non-explicit songs just as fun to sing along with as the unedited versions. As someone who works with kids, these little considerations go a long way and I really really respect that. ❤

I'm a person who has hated ME! since it came out, but absolutely loved the Lover album (like every other song I actually loved). I loved the video, but I always felt like the song felt extremely fake. I actually really loved the lower production sadder version. It speaks more to the vulnerability we often feel when dating someone. I think mainly it just felt very fake the way it was sung. I never really had a problem with the "spelling is fun" line. In fact, I think I liked it better with it in. Perhaps, I'm just not a very "campy" person. Or maybe I'm just not a "confetti" type of person.

Genuinely, I really loved paper rings. One of my favorites. Your comment had made me reflect on my thoughts about Me! This might be more a reflection about me. I find it really hard to see my own worth. So maybe the bubblegum pop vibe of it just really rubs me the wrong way. Which could also explain why I like the slower version. It feels more real. It's like there is only one of me but the tone doesn't make it sound like I'm all sunshine and rainbows. It makes it so yes I understand my worth but I also am aware I'm flawed.

Only Brazil could deliver the love that Taylor deserves, even not being fan favorite, and people joking the entire year that the only SS left would be Me! . Everyone was so exhausted, it was the crowd of the postponed concert due heat wave, plus most of people in that specific date, got tickets because of Lover Fest cancelled, in Brazil there were a pre sale to Lover Festers (bc we weren’t refunded at the time and our credits were few months to expire) . Long story short, it was a relief of stress after everything that happened those days. I smile while listening to my videso, and my joyful laughter when she starts singing: I promise that you'll never find another like me. By the way, everyone screamed: Hey kids spelling is fun!

"a song that sounds like it was manufactured in a lab to do well in the pop charts" THATS IT FOR ME! at least for me, it felt like a parody of love songs. the fight in the beginning that is resolved by just loving each other too much, the over the top effects and saccharine lyrics, and (this might just be me) their forced smiles and happiness in the video really put me off. i was really waiting for the moment they'd turn back on each other since taylor swift is a very popular artist (not the kind to make parodies as far as i know) and there was no punchline in the video or song, it came off as fake and disingenuous. i think the fact im not a big taylor fan and havent kept up with her "deeper" projects and mostly know about her from radio singles doesnt really help :/ (also i know theres no such thing as being truly honest as an artist in the public eye, but the issue is more whether or not your audience can suspend their disbelief and buy into the fun or the story youre trying to tell.)

I wish this song met higher approval with Swifties and Sinners alike. I think both fan bases (which many were both) expected something “Unbelievably poetically relatable” (Taylor’s Super power) and “a PHENOMENAL Vocal performance” (Brendon’s Super power) when news of this collab was released, and the anticipation of those things just rose and rose to an unreal high. So when the fans were met with the song/video that highlighted the joyful, charismatic, and animated characteristics of both Brendon and Taylor with impressive but standard vocals the fans felt let down. Truth is the pair couldn’t have been better matched to highlight those aspects of themselves. Brendon has always been very theatrical with his art, Taylor has always had a very animated/performative aspect to hers, and they truly brought the VERY BEST of those qualities out in each other. Now, if Taylor could persuade Brendon to come out of retirement (even for just a moment) and give the fans that “Unbelievably poetically relatable song with phenomenal vocals” Swifties and Sinners would LOSE THEIR MINDS with joy and delight!!

The song feels and sounds super fun and catchy, and it is, but when you slow down the lyrics and think it through, there's a layer of sadness and desperation that's also present.

ME! is fun, full of colour, cringy lyrics that don't take themselves too seriously and just spreads good vibes. Is it Taylor's best song? I don't know, everyone has to decide that for themselves. Is it a skip for you? Fine that's understandable with more than 200 songs. I just think it's a shame that fans have criticised ME! so much that Taylor has cut out lyrics and isn't even playing it on the Eras tour, especially when you see how much Taylor liked ME! in Miss Americana.

It's so annoying to me, that everyone now days is all "do what you want, don't listen to what people say, love your style of music," etc. But I've been made fun of by people in my community for liking a song. It's my least favorite thing about this community.

The only thing I don't like about ME! is the lyrics, which you've explained well in the video. It's catchy, fun, and energetic, and I think, with altered lyrics, it could be a classic.

I think a part of why the song is disliked is because people find the not like other girls trope annoying. It comes across like she is putting other women down and while she is aware of her flaws, there's nothing suggesting she is attempting to change. It comes across more like she has a big ego than just a confidence booster promoting individuality.

Honestly, I don’t think it needs to be stripped down to have that interpretation because that was very much my original interpretation of it. The ‘and there’s a lot of cool girls/lame guys’ always felt kind of desperate? Not quite desperate but that’s the closest word coming to mind. Like - I know there are a lot of ‘better’ people out there, but I’m just as unique. And then I still have my life together enough that there are ‘worse’ people out there as well

I loved this video format! I think the reason people dislike this song is not its tone but the way it's impersonal and VERY generic sounding musically and production wise. It truly sticks out as a sore thumb in Taylor's discography, she has many humorous and lighthearted songs in her discography that aren't as disposable and unlikable as this one. Personally, I can't find a good melodic line in this song. Actually, I dont think there is one element done nicely. It really is a case of sounding rough, and "camp" doesn't excuse something half baked, there are many well-made fun songs out there. "Poster Girl" by Hannah Diamond, for example, has the childlike tone and direct simple lyrics that could be considered "cringe" but has lovely melodies and such emotional depth that makes it outstanding.

“They old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now. Why? Cause she’s dead.” I think that’s the reason that the song was initially hated, even though it was popular. It was like she was backpedaling from her previous album

It kind of just makes me (he heeeee) sad that the swifties feel they’re entitled to make Taylor change decisions she already finalized, things that are artistic expression choices she’s already made, that she’s not exactly asking for our opinions on… like, sure, she wants us to like her music…but I just don’t think she should have to give into pressure from her own fan base to change things like the “spelling is fun!” lyric.

I mean, if that's what her lead singles are (which I believe it is), ME! is actually a great lead single. As we can see in Miss Americana, Taylor believed reputation to be kind of a flop, after it was not nominated for a Grammy. If you look at reputation as an album; it has got two sides - bad bitch hours and lovey-dovey. The first side was definitely the side that was promoted more heavily, with Look What You Made Me Do and Ready For It - the first two singles - both relying heavily on the first side and even End Game being like a mix of both sides, so by only having Delicate as the representative for "lovey-dovey", the focus to the GP was on bad bitch Taylor who was out to seek vengeance for everyone who wronged her. As a result of her thinking Rep was a flop, hate needed to turn into love, seriousness needed to be turned into fun, black needed to be turned into pink etc. So ME! was basically a career rebrand after her believing Rep to be a flop.

As a diehard Panic!/Urie fan, and a fair enough fan of swift. It seems like this song and the swift fanbase swallowed Urie whole and he never recovered. It was too big for Urie's persona at that point. Swift had to step down a level to accommodate him and most swifties aren't Urie fans. So they turned to hate. My feelings? Song is cute. Its a mid Taylor Swift song and probably my favorite Brendon Urie feature, aside from C'mon with Fun.

Chat & Reacts have been BEGGING for a piano version of Me on the Eras tour all year long! They were a little disappointed when she did it on guitar. They have been championing this song for awhile, and how actually vulnerable it is for Taylor when you listen to the lyrics. I personally love this song, but its definitely not my favorite, and I don't think it should have been the lead single. I love the music video too! I think in general, Lover gets crapped on a lot by the fandom, but I think it would not be that way at all if Loverfest had happened. Sometimes you have to see her performing them live to really get it. Rep tour definitely did that!

loved this video! contrary to your sentiment, i watched this because i LOVE me! when she announced & released it, my friend and i were going through a huge panic phase and were soooo excited for this collaboration. i was not on taylor swift social media, so i didn't even know people hated this song (and lover the album apparently) until 2020. i also remember being so confused when i didn't hear the spelling is fun line anymore bc i listened to lover a lot on CD and it wasn't on it either even on release day. one point i disagree on is i think it was a good lead single and if the lover album rollout had been slightly stronger, it wouldn't have gotten so much heat. this song is just so fun and unserious and that is OKAY, she literally said it's what makes her HER so every time i see people hate on it, i go stream it because it deserves better also your me he heeees were taking me OUT LMAO

The timing of the release was the biggest turn off, at least for me and people in my circle. Which includes a couple Taylor fans (As adults in their 30s, they resent the term “Swiftie”) We went into lockdown shortly after it came out, and nobody was trying to hear that obnoxiously optimistic, manufactured pop sound during that time. It just didn’t feel appropriate for such a grim period. And when you hold it up to the rest of Taylor’s discography, it falls flat. The writing is immature in comparison to her own early work. It’s not the standard people who enjoy her work are used to, so naturally they’re not gonna like it.

Thank you for making such a thoughtful and impartial video! I really like how you’ve made parallels between the time when”ME!” Was released and “The Eras Tour”. I loved this single and the video so much back when it was released. The whole “silliness” of it was so liberating to me. It spoke to my inner child. People not getting that same feeling was shocking to me, especially when she took the “hey, kids! Spelling is fun” part out of the song
