Strap Yourselves In: It's Time to Unpack All Those References in Taylor Swift's Video

You guys. YOU GUYS. If you haven't seen Taylor Swift's music video for "Look What You Made Me Do" yet, stop what you're doing and watch it. OK, you done? Good. Now let's unpack all those hidden Easter eggs. Aside from making fun of her past reputations, the singer also made a few references to her infamous celebrity feuds and former flames. If you missed them all the first time around, don't worry; we have you covered.

01
TS/13

TS/13

At the beginning of the video, the headstones spell out "TS" for Taylor Swift, but if you look closer, you can also see that they spell out her lucky number: 13.

02
Zombie Taylor's Outfit

Zombie Taylor's Outfit

If you thought Taylor's blue dress looked familiar, it's because she wore it in her last music video, "Out of the Woods." Seems like the perfect transition, seeing that she was covered in dirt by the end of that video.

03
Nils Sjöberg

Nils Sjöberg

The pseudonym Taylor used when she cowrote "This Is What You Came For" with ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris is written on one of the headstones in the graveyard.

04
Met Gala Taylor Swift

Met Gala Taylor Swift

The person being buried is Taylor from the 2014 Met Gala.

05
Et tu, Brute?

Et tu, Brute?

The chair Taylor is sitting on is engraved with the Latin phrase "Et tu, Brute?" which means "Even you, Brutus?” from the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare. Caesar says these words after realizing his friend Brutus played a role in his death, and it is often used when referring to a friend stabbing you in the back. Sounds like Taylor is calling out a frenemy (or many, for that matter).

06
Sipping Tea
Taylor Swift VEVO

Sipping Tea

Kim Kardashian certainly spilled some major tea when she outed Taylor on Snapchat. Is Taylor getting ready to return the favor in her album Reputation?

07
Roar

Roar

While Katy Perry often refers to herself as a tiger, we can't help but notice the little "roar" the furry creature makes in the car. It's also worth noting Taylor's interesting prop choice of holding a single Grammy award. While Taylor has 10 Grammys, Katy (who has been nominated seven times) has zero.

08
Single Dollar Bill

Single Dollar Bill

In Taylor's bathtub of diamonds, there is a single dollar bill, which possibly symbolizes her recent groping court case, in which she countersued DJ David Mueller for $1. Her bathtub of jewelry might also be a reference to a statement she made back in 2016 during her "Blank Space" performance at the GRAMMY Museum about how the media probably thinks she goes home to her mansion and cries in her marble bathtub, surrounded by pearls.

09
Stream Co.

Stream Co.

Taylor stages a robbery from a company called Stream Co. This seems to be a jab at her battle with Spotify over streaming her music for free.

10
Girl Squad

Girl Squad

Taylor pokes fun at her infamous "squad" and the criticism that all her friends look the same (tall, blonde, models, etc.) by rounding up an army of robots that she created.

11
Wonderstruck

Wonderstruck

When Taylor walks into the room, one of the male backup dancers almost drops a red object in his hand. While it seems like an apple at first, if you freeze the frame, it actually looks a lot like Taylor's Wonderstruck Enchanted perfume bottle from 2011. It's also interesting that the room they're in has a striking resemblance to the one used in the promo for the fragrance.

12
I Heart T.S.

I Heart T.S.

As Taylor takes a power stance, her male backup dancers take off their jackets to reveal cropped tops with the words "I [heart] T.S." on them . . . just like Tom Hiddleston's tank top from their Fourth of July festivities last year. The number of backup dancers also seems to symbolize the number of guys Taylor has publicly dated: Tom Hiddleston, Calvin Harris, Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner, Harry Styles, Conor Kennedy, Jake Gyllenhaal, and John Mayer.

13
Past Reputations

Past Reputations

As the "new Taylor Swift" sings to the camera, her past selves — or "reputations," for that matter — try to claw their way back to the top.

14
List of Friends

List of Friends

Taylor's "You Belong With Me" self sports her Junior Jewels t-shirt, but if you look closer, it actually has some of her famous friends' names — including Selena Gomez, Lena Dunham, Este Haim, Lily Aldridge, Abigail Anderson, Gigi Hadid, Martha Hunt, Blake Lively, and Ryan Reynolds — written all over it.

15
Surprised Taylor

Surprised Taylor

As all the past Taylors stand in a line, Zombie Taylor makes fun of her infamous surprised face, saying, "It's so annoying."

16
"Don't Call Me That"

"Don't Call Me That"

The New Taylor looks over at Zombie Taylor, questioning, "What's with that b*tch?" before she immediately retorts, "Don't call me that." This seems to be a reference to Taylor's drawn-out statement about Kim Kardashian's Snapchat videos in which she says she didn't give Kanye West permission to call her "that b*tch" in his song "Famous."

17
The Victim

The Victim

After Fearless Taylor starts sobbing over a remark made by Red Taylor, Biker Taylor rolls her eyes, looks at her nails, and says, "There she goes playing the victim . . . again," seemingly responding to the criticism that Taylor has built her whole career on playing the victim.

18
Getting Receipts

Getting Receipts

As Fearless Taylor cries, a Kardashian-esque Taylor records the whole thing on her phone, claiming she's "collecting receipts" and that she will "edit this later." Not only could this be a reference to that infamous Kanye West phone call that we all heard about, but it could also be calling out Katy Perry's "Swish Swish" lyrics about how "karma keeps receipts."

19
"I'd Very Much Like to Be Excluded From This Narrative"

"I'd Very Much Like to Be Excluded From This Narrative"

Pretty perfect that 2009 VMAs Taylor would have the last word, seeing that she didn't get the last word when Kanye West stole her mic on stage. Just like her response to Kim Kardashian's Snapchat videos, she says that she would "very much like to be excluded from this narrative."
