15 Times Taylor Swift Was Too Sexy For Her Shade

15 Times Taylor Swift Was Too Sexy For Her Shade

Oh, look what you made her do.

After three years of being quiet on the music scene, Taylor Swift came back bigger than ever within the past few weeks. With gifs of parts of snakes, a single and album announcement, and a music video, Taylor is back with a bang. Her latest single “Look What You Made Me Do” has already broken over 13 records on the charts and streaming sites like Youtube and Vevo.

Her music video was premiered at the MTV VMA Awards on Sunday, August 27, 2017. Within the video are various symbolic references and “easter eggs” that Swifties and many more across the world found. Did you spot all of these?

1. The graveyard we are introduced to in the opening scene is shaped as her initials “TS.”

2. One of the graves in the background is marked for “Nils Sioberg.”

“Nils Sioberg” was the alias Taylor used for writing the EDM song, “This Is What You Came For.”

3. “Out of the Woods” Taylor Swift was burying 2014 Met Gala Taylor Swift.

The Taylor Swift we knew from the end of the 1989 era ending the Taylor Swift that started the 1989 era.

4. In the bathtub with Taylor is her symbolic $1.

The $1 was pH๏τoshopped into the bathtub after Taylor won her Sєxual ᴀssault trial. She had only sued her ᴀssaulter for $1. This is the only sH๏τ you see the dollar in.

5. Also, next to the bathtub is the word: “NO.”

This is another symbol from Taylor’s trial.

6. In Taylor’s snake kingdom, the famous line “Et tu Brute?” is on the columns and the throne.

This famous line is from Shakespeare’s play, “Julius Caesar.” Caesar says this to Brutus, his one friend, right before Brutus stabs him. The line represents betrayal which relates to Taylor’s feelings of being betrayed by someone she thought she could trust.

7. One of the snakes serves Taylor tea.

8. There are 12 snakes surrounding Taylor, making her the 13th snake.

9. Taylor is crashing a car while holding a Grammy.

There is speculation from Swifties on Twitter and Tumblr that the car represents a song lyric from Taylor’s album, “Red,” which they believe should have won Album of the Year.

10. The paparazzi in this scene are some of Taylor’s dancers from the 1989 World Tour.

11. In the pᴀssenger seat of the car is a cheetah wearing the number 13.

The old Taylor Swift might be ᴅᴇᴀᴅ, but the new Taylor Swift still has a love for cats and the lucky number 13.

12. In the next scene, Taylor and her infamous squad are robbing a streaming company.

When Taylor had taken her music off of streaming services, people accused her of not standing up for smaller artists but being a money greedy celebrity.

In this quick sH๏τ, you see Taylor’s backup dancers once again but this time appearing as workers at the streaming company.

14. Taylor is shown as the leader of a “perfect squad.”

Taylor never once labeled her friend group as a “squad.” This term was used by others. Taylor then faced criticism that she was only friends with girls who looked exactly the same. Taylor used this narrative in the video by making it look as though she has been programming mannequins to be an army for her.

15. On the screens behind her, you can spot her cat, Detective Olivia Benson.
