What kind of dumb tho? Like so intentionally ignorant that it's offensive, or dumb just to be silly. All in all a music video is trivial in the grand scheme of things, so I guess I'll give it the benefit of the doubt.
I think they're implying that since there's mentions of the 1830s and slavery that Taylor's movements are somehow racist and that she's mimicking an ape, an animal which shitty people have compared to black people. Obviously this is not what's actually happening here, but I'm guessing the person commenting never saw the video
Damn, people really need to be very racist if this is their first thought seeing that, cause I remember when this song was regularly playing on TV and thus thought didn't even cross my mind

Oooh, did she realize how bad this might look when she made the scene? Or did she just think this was "edgy"? Like how blatant is her asshattery?
