Taylor Swift's meme-worthy music video for "Delicate" [2] may have a "dance like nobody's watching" vibe [3], but in truth, every single jerky movement and silly face was perfectly choreographed ahead of time. Swift took to Instagram to share a pair of videos from her dance rehearsals for the video, in which you see her master the robot, the puppet, and the over-the-top jazz moves that made the video an instant talking point [4].

Of course, we knew that epic split on the hood of a cab probably took some prep (and it seems like she's been practicing it since her "Shake it Off" days [5]), but even those childlike jumps in the rain were honed to perfection in a dance studio before the cameras rolled.

The video got people talking for more than just its goofy dance routine though. Some have accused Swift and director Joseph Kahn of copying a Kenzo perfume video from 2016, directed by Spike Jonze and featuring The Leftovers star Margaret Qualley. Are the claims valid? Take a look for yourself and decide [7].
