Did Taylor Swift Copy Beyoncé's 'Formation' Music Video?

Yea right. HAHA. Here's a look at the "Look What You Made Me Do' video that premiered at the VMAs: (We are kinda hooked.) Swift now has those shirts - sans crop-top version - available on her merch store, so you, too, can be included in the narrative".

If you've always wanted to be part of Taylor Swift's team, now is the time!

Embracing Kim calling her a snake, Swift seemingly takes shots at Kim exposing her on Snapchat and stabbing her in the back, Kanye's disastrous 2016 New York Fashion Week show with fainting models, and she even goes so low to mock Kim being robbed at gunpoint while being held in a bathtub. In the final moments, an evil version of Taylor says she's "getting receipts" for a video to edit later, before 2009 VMAs Taylor says, "I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative" (reiterating the famous statement she made in response on Instagram).

Although there is something more to that "Formation" scene that everyone keeps referencing. In addition to wearing the black onesie, Taylor caught heat for using an army of backup dancers similar to Beyonce's Super Bowl performance.

At the end of the "LWYMMD" video, all of Taylor's former music-video personas stand in a straight line in front of a plane that reads "Reputation", which is also the name of her new album.

Not one to get too dark, Taylor ended the video on a cleverly self-aware note, playing roughly a dozen versions of herself as they bad-mouthed each other: "Stop making that surprise face, it's so annoying!"

Although they enjoyed a brief truce, Kanye took aim at Taylor on his track Famous' previous year, in which he referred to the singer as a "b***h" and joked about sleeping with her.

Kahn was quick to shut down that speculation, tweeting: "I've worked with Beyoncé a few times". The #LWYMMDvideo is not in her art space.

Spotify says Taylor Swift has set a new global first day streaming record.
