Actual hipsters let Taylor Swift pretend to be as profound as them ... and by the end, through their generosity, you see Taylor in a new light. Their chemistry materializes slowly as well, which is true to life. Take the song with the guy from Bon Iver. I've always enjoyed (and made fun of enjoying) Taylor. But Bon Iver feels more substantial and artful. But the guy works with her on a track, which feels like a condescension (but he doesn't act like it, because he's a gracious person). And then she hangs, and I see a new and exciting potential direction for Swift in the next decade. Her lyrical fun is still there, but with a bit more imagination and - oddly - depth. The collaborators eyes seem to glaze over occasionally, but therein lies their transformative generosity.
