Ya know, as with much media, a headline can promise much more than the story can deliver.
Selena Gomez will “eventually” make music with Taylor Swift (ibtimes.co.uk).
For sure, something of a SelGo fan but less-so musically of Taylor Swift, I’d still very much enjoy the idea of them “making music” together, in much the same way as I visualised with face pulling fashion’s queen of eyebrows Cara Delevingne when bikini hijinks caught them together in St. Tropez when she was conceivably still trying to send a message to Beiber.
But post-Beiber, post-Zedd rumours at least and perhaps post-Samuel Krost (inquisitr.com) could a musical collaboration be in thematically more in Taylor’s ball park or, if wishful thinking sexual euphemism is taken more literally, a (strap-on or not) sword of Damocles hanging over those who date she who decides we wear pink on whatever particular day?
Taylor Swift says she does not use music as a weapon but her lyrics and song titles say otherwise (independent.co.uk).
“For Taylor Swift to pretend that her entire music career is not a tool of passive aggression toward those who have wronged her is like me pretending I’m not carbon-based: too easy to disprove, laughable at its very suggestion.”
Indeed, current beau Calvin Harris seems to have scuppered his ex Rita Ora’s second album if there is to be one with refusal to allow release of collaborated tunes for which Jay Z’s RocNation is driving her to court to the tune of $2.4m (msn.com/BANG Showbiz) and one can almost picture the lyrics should they split, rumours of which are begging: Taylor Swift Calvin Harris break-up rumours go wild—what is she texting her friends? (inquisitr.com).
Meanwhile, I guess, they’ll have to keep their “Hands to Themself”.
