Taylor Swift is back and she is taking down everyone who has ever wronged her with her first single since 2014. 'Look What You Made Me Do' dropped last week after the singer previously deleted everything from Twitter and then filled it with snake teasers.

Taylor's long-awaited video for 'Look What You Made Me Do' was unveiled at MTV's VMA awards last weekend and it is essentially a track aimed at all of her ex-boyfriends and celebrity enemies.

But what does it all mean? There are plenty of hidden messages in the music video, right from the beginning...

The grave of her reputation

At the start of Taylor's music video, it shows the zombie-like star emerging from a grave which reads 'Here lies Taylor Swift's reputation'.

The grave next to it reads 'Nils Sjöberg' which was the pseudonym she used in Calvin Harris' single 'Look What You Came For'. It's the song they wrote together, though Calvin claims Taylor wanted a fake name.

When Taylor revealed she had co-written the song, Calvin hit back saying,

"Taylor is an amazing lyric writer and she smashed it as usual… Hurtful to me at this point that her and her team would go so out of their way to make me look bad at this stage though… I know you're off tour and you need someone new to try and bury like Katy etc but I'm not that guy, sorry. I won't allow it."

Kanye West ring

One of Taylor's rings look very similar to Kanye West's sunglasses right? Check out her middle finger. Here Taylor is throwing shade at the rapper by wearing them on her perfectly manicured hand.

Kim Kardashian's choker

Is Taylor purposefully biting a similar choker to the one worn by Kim Kardashian in that Instagram post, hours before she was robbed in Paris? It certainly looks that way.

Snakes everywhere!

It's the year of the snake and following on from her social teasers there is a very apparent snake theme slithering throughout the whole video. Here Taylor is hitting back at all the Kim and Kanye fans who left millions of snake emojis on the star's Instagram post, after she was caught out agreeing to the lyrics of 'Almost Famous'.

Taylor's rivalry with Katy Perry

Katy Perry even appears in Taylor's video, of sorts. Actually Taylor appears dressed up as her arch-enemy Katy Perry, who is portrayed as someone who is fame-hungry and working the press.

The infamous 'squad'

At one point in the video Taylor is on the stage in front of hundreds of stone-cold mannequins that all look spookily similar. Here we suspect she is referencing the abuse she received for supposedly 'curating' a girl group of beautiful women in Hollywood. This girl group were apparently nasty to anyone who wasn't in the 'squad'.

Later the video shows the mannequins in a heap on the floor, symbolising the breakdown of her friendship group.

However she poignantly sings, 'I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me'.

'I heart T.S' t-shirts

Remember when her then-boyfriend Tom Hiddleston wore a 'I heart T.S' top whilst frolicking in the sea at Taylor's 4th July party?

The pair were given a hard time for this public display of affection, although Tom has since spoken how it was 'a joke' and he had needed a spare t-shirt.

If this is just her video, can you just imagine what her album has in store for us? It's not released till November, so at least we have some time to get over the iconic 'The old Taylor can't come to the phone right now, because she's dead'!
