The director for Taylor Swift's new video for 2014 is speaking out against allegations that his work of art is racist!

Celebuzz reported that observers of the video, which included rapper Ear Sweatshirt criticized Swift's video for her newest single, "Shake It Off", culturally inappropriate. Director Mark Romanek quickly defended his finished output to Vulture, according to Celebuzz, saying:

"We simply choose styles of dance that we thought would be popular and amusing and cast the best dancers that were presented to us without much regard to race or ethnicity,"

"If you look at it carefully, it's a massively inclusive piece. It's very, very innocently and positively intentioned. And -- let's remember -- it's a satirical piece. It's playing with a whole range of music-video tropes and clichés and stereotypes."

Romanek further explained the concept of Taylor Swift's new video for 2014, saying:

"This basic idea was all Taylor's,"

"We met and she told me that she wanted to make a sort of paean to the awkward ones, the 'uncool' kids that are actually cooler than the 'cool' kids. She said she wanted to shoot all these styles of dance and then be the individualist dork in the midst of these established genres."

To conclude his defense on the appeal of Taylor Swift's video for 2014, Romanek said, as reported by Celebuzz:

"In a way, the whole video is just a setup for that moment. And this is why, I think, if Earl Sweatshirt was open-minded enough to take the four minutes to watch it, he might see what the larger, humanistic, and utterly color-blind message was intended to be."
