But her latest reinvention would scream “Bonus cut!” on any other established pop star’s album. “I’m sorry, the old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, because she’s dead,” she says in a spoken-word interlude near the end of the song. That may be dark by Swift standards, but the track is not nearly as edgy and new as she thinks it is. The answering machine reference is so ’90s (Who comes to the phone anymore?), as is the interpolation of Right Said Fred’s impossibly cheesy hit “I’m Too Sexy.” If only she’d let her well-documented love of hip hop seep into her music more, she might have looked to something like, say, Kool Moe Dee’s ultimate ’80s dis track “How Ya Like Me Now” for retro inspiration.
