Most pop music completely passes me by. I don't listen to music on the radio or tv, so the only way I hear about new music is word of mouth or things like itunes genius and spotify discover.

So I'd never heard this song (I thought Taylor Swift was a country artist or something?).

The song itself is admittedly catchy, but I think I prefer the piano version.

A true pop "masterclass" would not include a discussion of Taylor Swift.

I disagree, you now have an explanation of why other people like the song. Surely you would have found it easier to work out one you like (particularly after watching a few of these).

I'm also left with the distinct impression that these videos are a subtle German parody of overly serious music programmes. I'm not 100% sure of that, but either way the ones I have seen have been great watching
