Last but not least is the music video for Taylor Swift's "You Belong With Me' song. In it, she starts off as an average girl who is in love with the boy next door. However, the boy next door has a girlfriend that does not appreciate him but is an alpha female in some respects (a cheer captain) and in the song Swift compares herself to her saying "she wears high heels, I wear sneakers, she's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers". The normal girl is invisible and seen as just a friend by the object of her affection, until she decides to acquiesce to the responses she gets and goes through a makeover at the end of the video. Only then does she get the guy. She reworked her performance to conform to the view of society which says that the stereotypical idea of beauty is necessary to win a guy.
