To celebrate her 23rd birthday, Taylor Swift unveiled her 23rd video on MTV channel to show the world her edgy side for the loopy break-up upbeat track, "I Knew You Were Trouble," the third promotional single from the Country-Pop songstress latest fourth studio album, "Red," which has already achieved multi-platinum status since it was released in October. The track offers more insight into her relationship with the bad boy, and the clip features a pink-haired Swift trying to pick up the pieces after bad boy has left her.
Inspired by the British band One Direction member Harry Styles, the dubstep-inspired bass breakdown "I Knew You Were Trouble," breaks the singer out of Nashville and touches on all genres of music with moments of straight-up Top 40 pop, country and even dance, with its grinding effects, especially on the bumping chorus. It's a peppy, uber-catchy pop, a far cry from traditional country, and its mainstream appeal yet noted Swift's experimentation with dubstep as relatively limited. Swift is try at dropping the bass ultimately gets absorbed into the artist's own aesthetic.
Musically, the way the song bounces around musical genres, was one of Swift's intentions. Speaking the song "is about not trusting your own instincts and ignoring all the red flags." Swift admitted to having gone into a relationship knowing it was the wrong thing to do. "It's a song that's one of my favorite songs on the album because it sounds just as chaotic as the feeling was when I wrote it. It's a song about kind of being frustrated with yourself because you have your heart broken and you knew when you first saw that person you saw all these red flags and you just went for it anyway," she explained. "So, shame on me."
Filmed in Los Angeles by Anthony Mandler, the dark-themed clip is looking distinctively different from the country music sweetheart's previous music videos. It find grimy-looking Swift either passed out or sleeping on the ground in the middle of a field covered with trash, likely after a party. She looks around her, confused and incredulous at where she has landed. She slowly stands up as black and white clips of her fans cheering at a concert cuts in and out. The edgy video then follows her really toxic relationship with 'Spider-Man' star Reeve Carney as her co-star, and it definitely delves depths she's never explored before.
