A New Era

The video starts off with a cameo of a snake slithering across the ground, which then bursts into a swarm of butterflies. This could be Taylor’s way of saying goodbye to her Reputation era, which was a darker phase for the pop star. Let’s not forget the snake is a major symbol for the drama she had with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West in 2017. She’s basically saying she’s over the negativity!

‘Cool Chicks’

For the line, “There’s a lot of cool chicks out there,” Tay playfully incorporates literal chicks, which she teased a photo of on social media days before the video dropped. But she also included the Dixie Chicks. In the past, she’s has openly spoken about her admiration for the trio. “If not for this woman and her band, I would not have known that you could be quirky, be fun, be yourself, be outspoken and brave and real,” Taylor admitted during her 1989 tour. Considering the country stars acknowledged their cameo on Twitter, it’s safe to say they’re fans of Taylor too. Is Tay’s way of hinting a collab will happen soon?

‘Blank Space’ Vs. ‘ME!’

There are some parallels between “ME!” and “Blank Space.” For both videos, Taylor is in a mansion wearing fancy clothes. However, there’s a big change in behavior between both of these Taylor versions. “Blank Space” is her way of poking fun at herself in terms of what people say about her “crazy” dating life, while “ME!” has a more positive approach and is about accepting who you are and embracing it.

‘Lover’

The word “Lover” appears as a neon sign in the background, and many fans speculate this could either be the name of another song or the title for the upcoming album. When a fan asked about the album’s title name on Tumblr, Taylor didn’t reveal that, instead, she simply replied with, “SOON MY LOVE SOOOOOOON,” and added five pink hearts. “Taylor used five hearts. So I’m guessing it’s LOVER (five letters) and the word appeared in the music video …” said another fan on Twitter about Taylor’s upcoming album title.

Proposal

When Brendon gets on one knee and pops the question, Taylor rejects him. In real life, there have been several rumors about her being engaged to boyfriend Joe Alwyn. This could be her way of suggesting it’s not true … yet. One fan seems to agree. “Does that mean @taylorswift13 is getting engaged soon!?” they tweeted.

Surprise?

Taylor revealed there’s a secret in the video and there’s a possibility that it could be that she got a new cat. In the butterfly mural photo she shared on social media, there are also three cats hidden in the background, which represent her existing pets Meredith and Olivia-Benson and now this new addition. It’s a growing family!
