Taylor Swift Video Director Dismisses Racism Claims
. In response to rapper Earl Sweatshirt's criticism of the video, Romanek said: "[Earl] stated clearly that he hadn't seen the video and didn't even intend to watch it. So, respectfully, that sort of invalidates his observations from the get-go. And it's this one uninformed tweet that got reported on and rehashed, which started this whole 'controversy.' "We simply choose styles of dance that we thought would be popular and amusing and cast the best dancers that were presented to us without much regard to race or ethnicity. "If you look at it carefully, it's a massively inclusive piece," Romanek added. "It's very, very innocently and positively intentioned. And - let's remember - it's a satirical piece. It's playing with a whole range of music-video tropes and clich�s and stereotypes." More here. Radio.com is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
