Music Mondays

I am the type of person that has like 40 different Youtube playlists, because, as Im sure we all do, I become obsessed with certain songs and only want to listen to them over and over and over again untill I literally end up hating them. Why do we do this, who knows.
 
These are the songs I`m currently obsessed with :)
 
 
Tori Kelly - Nobody Love

I first heard Tori when she audtioned for American Idol when she was 16. She didn`t make it until the end, but continued to post YouTube videos of herself. Then I saw her again on Vine, where I believe she became more widely recognized. She finally has the fame she deserves, she is so naturally talented. I could listen to her sing all day.

 
 
Fifth Harmony - Worth It ft. Kid Ink
 
So Fifth Harmony makes this list twice because, come on, who doesnt love an empowering girl group full of hot and talented singers? I guarentee these two hits will be stuck in your head.
 
 
 
Fifth Harmony - BO$$
 
 
 
Ryn Weaver - Octahate
 
I personally am not really a fan of this music video, but her voice is magical and the beat is catchy!
 
 
 
Rihanna - Bitch Better Have My Money
 
This one is pretty obvious what it`s about... and it also has the power to make any white girl feel like a G. But doesn`t Rihanna always do that? There is no music video for it, but I really hope there will be cause I know RiRi will definitely kill it... like always.
 
 
 
Major Lazer & DJ Snake - Lean On (feat. MØ)
 
I personally have never heard of any of these artists before. I believe I came across this song on YouTubes ''recommended'' section, and fell in love with the catchy beat that you can`t help but move to.
 
 
 
David Guetta - Hey Mama (Official Video) ft Nicki Minaj, Bebe Rexha & Afrojack
 
At first when I heard this song, I thought the chorus was being sung by Rihanna, but it is actually the talented Bebe Rexha. You may not know her by name, but she actually co-wrote Eminem`s song ''The Monster'' and was featered on the song ''Take Me Home'' by Cash Cash. And I'm sure you are all familiar with David Guetta and Nicki Minaj!
  
 
 
Echosmith - Bright 
 
I have had this song stuck in my head for days. It is very taylor-swift-speak-now-era. Honestly, talking about it won`t even do it any justice, so just give it a listen!

Taylor Swift - Bad Blood Music Video Review!

 
 
Okay so if you are a Swiftie like me and have been seeing all of the cast photos on Taylors Instagram account and waiting oh-so patiently for this video to come out but it felt like FOREVER, you were probably very excited to finally see it yesterday.

Personally, I had no idea what to expect. Before it came out, I was sort of confused at the large amount of cast members, wondering how it was going to be played out and whatnot.

I'll tell you this - when I watched it, I had a huge grin on my face for two reasons.

One, because it was so cool seeing all of these female stars (who are mostly all friends) act like badass super gals, and I seriously wish I was in this video myself.

Two, because I am honestly so happy for Taylor that this video is featuring all of her friends which must have been a blast to make, but also because Kendrick Lamar, Ellen Pompeo and Mariska Hargitay were all in this video because she lovesss them! If you are unfamiliar with who they are, Kendrick Lamar is Tay's favorite rapper, Ellen Pompeo plays surgeon Meredith Grey on Grey's Anatomy, and Mariska Hargitay plays Sergeant Olivia Benson on Law and Order: SVU. Long story short, Kendrick makes her dance like a white girl at awards shows and Taylor named both of her cats after Ellen and Mariska's characters on the hit TV shows.

The one thing though that I definitely didn't anticipate was Kendrick being featured on the track! When I saw that he was going to be in the video I just figured it was exactly that, he would just be in the video. Maybe that was just me who thought that.

Now, anyone who is anyone knows that this song is obv about Katy Perry. If you didn't know that, I will let you know why. Keep in mind, I am only a canadian blog writer and photographer, so I only know what I have read on Perez Hilton, but word on the street over the last few years is that Katy Perry and T-Swift have been fueding because Katy tried to hire a bunch of dancers out from under Taylor which could have sabotaged a whole arena tour. Another obvious reason is because Katy dated John Mayer after Taylor did, when she thought they were friends. (...is Hoe's before Bro's still a thing?)

There are also a bunch of clues within the Bad Blood video that hint that it is, in fact, about the Princess of Lollypops and Sunshine... AKA just-another-Hollywood-sellout. The biggest one being that in the intro, Arsyn, played by Selena Gomez, is on Taylors side then stabs her in the back by pushing her out of the window, all while wearing a Katy-Perry-style black wig. Check out the list of reasons the video is definitely about Katy here.
