The Pennsylvania based singer Taylor Swift is once again struggling with her reputation as she has been highlighted and supposedly indicted of initiating and taking part in a racism based video.

This is not for the first time the singer is entangled in the web of constant criticism and disapprovals. The country and pop based singer acquired the same level of condemnations after her video Shake it Off was released and made public last year. In that video, she was seen portraying a young woman with a different, exclusive apparel. The entire performance by Swift showed her presence as she was crawling through the legs of twerking African based women. The hoop earrings with gold chains made her overall trendy, which in the end received massive discontentment by the critics worldwide.

The storyline has once again repeated itself as Taylor Swift is under pressure for her non-racial propaganda. According to the critics, the latest video of Swift Wildest Dreams, is a mere propagation of racism as the video shows the backdrop of African wildlife along with the native environment of African culture.

It is totally not what the critics claim it to be! The video, according to the man behind the masterpiece, Joseph Kahn, is an example of a blooming relationship between two individuals. It exposes an emerging love affair between Swift and her co-star and does not entail the elements of white colonialism or racism, whatsoever.

The entire video revolves around the love story in the year 1950 and has taken inspiration from the classic Hollywood romantic figures.

The director claims that there is no political motive or agenda behind this video as it is for the entertainment purposes only and does not expose the discriminatory elements. Swift on the other hand has not recorded her response to the developing controversy.
