Reading Between the Music Video

I recently heard two songs, Before He Cheats by Carrie Underwood and Wrecking Ball by Miley Cyrus and both songs had some message they wanted to convey.

-Carrie appears to be criticizing her boyfriend INDIRECTLY (possible her former boyfriend now) on cheating on her behind her back but if one reads the lyrics of the song, one may notice that Carrie is actually insulting her boyfriend's lover by calling her 'tramp' and insulting her personality by saying that 'she can't shoot whiskey'.
-This song has a taste of feminism since she appears to be 'saving other women' from her boyfriend predicting they might end up broken-hearted.
-Furthermore, she was constantly singing about banging up her boyfriend's car and slashing its tires, even seeing her do it at one point. (Cars are a massive source of pleasure of boys).

-In her 'Wrecking Ball' video, Miley Cyrus definitely crossed her limits by overly expressing her feelings for her lover (which may have been Liam Hemsworth considering he left her after her VMA performance). She was seen licking the hammer in a slutty way. Also, her red lips, short blonde hair and outfit made her look like a prostitute which is evident with the way she rides the wrecking ball.
Some may noticed that this music video is a dirty version of Miley's earlier music video 7 Things where she indirectly sings about her breakup with Nick Jonas from the Jonas Brothers.

I also saw a video of Richard Sherman's post-game interview where despite winning, he goes berserk during his interview where he rants on his opponent's WR, Eddie Crabtree about not messing with him (Sherman). The incident may have occurred because Sherman may have been in a bad mood. Also, looking at the attitude he presented in his interview, he may have felt a little too proud of his achievement and he felt that his opponents were just too weak.
