The 'Blank Space' singer is channeling her inner baddie while playing various characters, including a biker, a robber and a dominatrix, in the nearly five-minute video.

AceShowbiz - Welcome the new Taylor Swift! After releasing a vengeful song "Look What You Made Me Do", the songstress has now got everyone talking about a new visuals for the track. Directed by Joseph Kahn, the clip opens in a cemetery with the words "Here Lies Taylor Swift's Reputation" written across a tombstone.
The pop singer then appears on a throne surrounded by snakes and in a bathtub full of diamonds. She also channels her inner dominatrix and biker while doing some choreography with a crew of dancers. She plays different personas in the video, seemingly trying to show off her new baddie image. The visuals also finds her in destructive narratives, such as robbing a shop and cutting off an airplane's wing.
Fueling the speculation that the new song is aimed at Kanye West, Taylor gathers all of her characters by the end of the music video when one of the old Taylors asks the new Taylor, "What are you doing?" The new Taylor replies, "Getting receipts! Gonna edit this for later." This seems to be an ode to Taylor and Kanye's drama, especially when the rapper's wife Kim Kardashian shared a video of Taylor and Kanye's phone call.
The new music video was premiered during MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, August 27. The event's host Katy Perry, who was known for her feud with Taylor, successfully ducked out of introducing the visuals and even managed not to mention Taylor's name throughout the show.
The video was premiered right after a commercial break. It seemed like Katy knew how awkward it would be if she announced the video. While the "Chained to the Rhythm" hitmaker previously claimed that she was ready to bury the hatchet with Taylor, it seems unlikely for them to end the beef in the near future.
We can seemingly expect another diss track from Taylor soon, as Taylor's new album "Reputation" is said to feature songs that are aimed at people who damaged her reputation in the past few years, including Kanye, Kim, Katy and Calvin Harris.
