The sixteenth female artist I will be looking at is Taylor Swift. She is known for her Pop and Country music. Her number one song on Spotify is Blank Space.
Stereotypes
Following along with how females are stereotypically dressed in music videos, Taylor Swift is seen wearing revealing and expensive looking clothing. Throughout the music video, she is seen trying to keep the attention of a man and dresses in a revealing way to hold the attention of a man.
Towards the second half and end of the music video, Taylor is seen acting in a crazy way as the man in the video and her have broken up. This music video demonstrates the stereotype of women after a breakup. Females are seen and told as being a man’s crazy ex. This is partially because of the strong emotions that females demonstrate while in distress and heartache.
Counter Stereotypes
The one counter stereotype that is seen in this music video is Taylor Swift being the dominant partner in the relationship. She can be seen taking charge of the situations and dates that she goes on with the man. This goes against the stereotypical characteristics of females, in which they are the more submissive or followers in a relationship. Males are stereotypically seen as the dominant gender in a relationship.
