The lyric video for Taylor Swift's 'The Man' is here
Ever since Taylor Swift released her album "Lover," fans have named the track "The Man" as a standout.
Now, we've got a lyric video for the tune, which finds Swift musing about how very different things would be if she was not a woman.
The animated video shows a tiny woman walking among giant men, ducking and diving so she won't get stepped on.
She then finds herself walking among a huge crowd of identical smaller men, and tries to escape by scaling a ladder and running up and down flights of stairs, but wherever she goes, men surround her.
Finally, she finds herself on top of a building, and when she falls off trying to avoid being stepped on by the giant men, she falls into the palm of a giant woman, who gently places her -- King Kong-style -- on a street where she's surrounded by nothing but women.
In the song, Swift sings about how her behavior, emotions, attitude and ideas wouldn't be scrutinized and criticized if she was a guy.
"They'd say I hustled/Put in the work/They wouldn't shake their heads/And question how much of this I deserve/What I was wearing/ if I was rude/Could all be separated from my good ideas and power moves," she sings.
After noting that if she were a guy, people would believe what she says and she'd never be criticized for bragging about how rich she is, or being a player "like Leo in Saint Tropez," Swift finishes by insisting, "If I was a man/Then I'd be THE MAN."
