Despite the fact that Taylor Swift won big at the MTV Video Music Awards last week for videos like 'Bad Blood' and 'Blank Space,' it does not mean that all her latest works are as impressive, since several critics have disapproved of the artistic direction in her latest track, "Wildest Dreams" for being "racist' and promoting the concept of "rich white fantasies."

According to IB Times, "Wildest Dreams" is set in Africa and the video features a mostly white cast and revolves around two movie stars, portrayed by Swift and 'Fury' actor Scott Eastwood, on a fictional film set in the 1950s. In fact, there are only two black actors throughout the video, who can only be seen somewhat in the background.

After the video made its debut at the VMA Awards on Sunday, Aug. 30, music fans have taken to their Twitter handles to express their displeasure. One unhappy user wrote, "I question your pleasure principal [sic] if your 'Wildest Dreams' are to fall in love in colonial Africa by erasing black ppl from the continent." Another user tweeted, "I didn't like the 'Wildest Dreams' video, really not into rich white fantasies of Africa in the 1950s like... is that romantic?" On the other hand, one fan simply labelled the video, "colonial garbage."

Critics in the media too have slammed the video. NPR's Viviane Rutabingwa described "Wildest Dreams" as "problematic", as she explained, "Swift's music is entertaining for many. She should absolutely be able to use any location as a backdrop. But she packages our continent as the backdrop for her romantic songs, devoid of any African person or storyline, and she sets the video in a time when the people depicted by Swift and her co-stars killed, dehumanized and traumatized millions of Africans."

Similarly, Nico Lang, from the Daily Dot said, "Even the most casual observer would have noticed that - for a clip that's set in Africa - it's about as white as a Sunday morning farmer's market. The video wants to have its old-school Hollywood romance but ends up eating some old-school Hollywood racism, too."
