It's been a week, and Taylor Swift's new Bad Blood music video has already had almost 71 million views.

Have you noticed her music videos are getting soooo intense? Same thing with Katy Perry--she once said that her paradise would have been princesses and fairies but now it's more of a power-girl thing (like Roar).

This is kind of interesting, because it's almost becoming like kind of a trend. Before, women were typically seen as the weaker, gentler gender. But now, girls seem to want to be seen as the power-woman--the one who can do anything and everything.

This reminds me both of Michelle's feminism oratorical and Emma Watson's HeForShe speech.

I haven't listened to it all the way yet, but basically it advertised equality, not one gender over the other. I think, society wants some inequality, or else why would it keep things changing yet still with power imbalance?

It might also have something to do with age. When you're a really young girl, you're all about princesses and castles. But as you grow older, a lot of girls see a more, sort of, powerful well rounded image of themselves.

I dunno. This is all very interesting. Just some trends that I notice, despite my very limited music-listening.
