Of course LM would look absolutely fabulous while trying to look nerdy and unappealing. The video itself though, its like if Disney bought the rights to remake The Craft.

Poorly Executed

I get what they were going for, but the only person it may work on is a preteen. They were too focused on the story element to build a proper emotional element for viewers be subconsciously drawn to. It starts of okay, but in my opinion it gets increasingly cringy after they "get back" at the popular girl, and reaching its "cringe" peak when they start dancing in class. This irked me more than anything because of how forced this scene was. Like, not only is that unrealistic (I mean beyond the magical abilities), but it has LITERALLY NOTHING TO DO with the rest of the video. In general, I really think the overall idea had a ton of potential to make this music video effective and really enhance the way we hear the song. The execution, though, ruined it completely.
