Taylor Swift revealed a new teaser for her next single, “Ready For It,” and some fans revealed that they are not yet prepared to see it. Once again, the pop giant seems to be very different, more mature, and sexy in the trailer that left the fans in awe.
However, there are some who believe that the upcoming song is a shade to her former boyfriend, Calvin Harris. As the 27-year-old star is known for using her ex-partners as her inspiration to write songs, this is not impossible to happen.
A song to shade her ex
“Ready for It” will be officially dropped on October 26.
Fans who dissected the quick clip believe that the teaser is a mock to Calvin Harris. In the opening scene, Taylor Swift’s name can be seen being lightened by lightning bolts in a cloudy setting. This is said to be like her former boyfriend’s “This Is What You Came For” single art, Hollywood Life reported.
The 33-year-old DJ’s image for the song has the same background; a dark mountain place with lightning strikes. The 2016 tune was collaborated by Calvin and Taylor featuring Rihanna.
This is not the first time that the “Look What You Made Me Do” hitmaker is said to be shading the Scottish record producer. Her third single, “Gorgeous,” has a couple of lines that that seems to be a nod to her ex.
“I got a boyfriend, he’s older than us. He’s in the club doing I don’t know what,” the lyrics read.
It has been known that Calvin is six years older than Taylor. He, too, is always in the club as he is the world’s highest paid DJ, Forbes cited. On the other hand, Calvin is not surprised that his former girlfriend is blasting him.
A source also told Hollywood Life that he perfectly knows that her songs became big hits because of its subliminal messages to her exes.
A glimpse of the new music video
Meanwhile, regarding the soon-to-be-dropped “Ready For It,” Taylor Swift’s fans answered that they are “not ready for it.”
The “Shake It Off” singer seems to be fully naked in the video set in a futuristic sci-fi universe.
She is concealing her real looks in a hooded jacket while walking the hallway. She later revealed herself as a cyborg. She looks naked as geometric lines of lights emerge on her body.
In the next scene, she is staring at an orb and a number of fast-moving snippets are revealed. Lastly, she breaks a glass cage and stares blankly straightly onto the camera. Taylor shared three quick clips on her Instagram page and the three almost have 9 million views combined.
