​”I’m sorry, the old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, ’cause she’s dead!”

The respect anyone might have had for Taylor Swift is also dead. The pettiness displayed in Swift’s new song,“Look What You Made Me Do,” which was released Aug. 22, marked a new low for the singer. As a former cultural icon and role model for many young girls, a song about remaining unforgiving and vengeful, and claiming herself blameless for her own actions is concerning.

The title of the single “Look What You Made Me Do” really says it all: an immature attempt to play the victim while throwing shade at fellow celebrities. It is not the first time Swift has been involved in celebrity drama, but one would think that after closing a public legal battle surrounding sexual harassment, the 28-year-old would release a song with a little more depth. But she has yet to show any sign of maturity after over a decade in the spotlight.

The single sparked lots of talk on social media, prompting a Buzzfeed article. It had already reached the top of iTunes charts in over 75 countries, including the U.S., within 24 hours of its release. The attention would be expected for her release. However, it feels as if a whole restaurant is turning to watch the four-year-old throw a fit.

The fit is something we’ve all seen before, except from other artists. Her cryptic deleting of all previous media posts followed by random, captionless posts to create “hype,” only to drop a single and album announcement is a note taken from The 1975’s release of “Love Me” and “I Like It When You Sleep Because You Are So Beautiful, Yet So Unaware of It” release date in Oct. 2016. Many twitter users quickly noticed from Swift’s video teaser  many things very similar to Beyoncé’s “Formation” video. Out of all the higher gods, Swift chose to insult The Queen herself? I cry Heresy!

The teaser announced that the video for “Look What You Made Me Do” would release during the Video Music Awards Aug 27. VMAs in the past have caused more drama for Swift than most people experience in their life, and this one was no different. With the video already seen as an imitation of Beyonce, releasing it at the VMAs (RIP VMAs 2009) was just another stunt to add to the immaturity list. Whichever way Swift handles a conflict, children should learn to do the opposite.

Her announcement of a new album to be released in November, titled “Reputation,” came along with the single release. The album title is probably supposed to convey some message similar to “Shake it Off.” Yet, if she truly cares about her fan base, she needs to realize that acting like a respectable adult does matter. She shouldn’t care about every person’s opinion, but when the world hates you take a good hard look in the mirror before you shake anything off. Her influence is still prevalent and as a result of this young girls need to realize that the way they act, treat others, and present themselves to the world are important things in life. So far, all this new single has taught the world is what a snake looks like.
