Taylor Swift's 'LWYMMD' Video NO SO Hidden Messages

-
What a comeback! Taylor Swift debuted her highly anticipated "Look What You Made Me Do" music video at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, August 27.  The Singer's talked-about music video is filled with symbolic references, and eagle-eyed fans are eagerly decoding its hidden meanings

Check out 13 of the hidden messages you may have missed!

Nils Sjoberg Tombstone

A zombielike Swift, 27, stumbled through a graveyard in the opening scene. One of the tombstones had the name Nils Sjoberg, the pseudonym that Swift used for a songwriting credit on her ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris' 2016 single "This Is What You Came For."
The Nils Sjoberg tombstone in the opening scene. As many will remember, Nils Sjoberg was the pseudonym that Swift used for a songwriting credit on her ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris' 2016 summer hit, "This Is What You Came For." When it was revealed that Swift was, in fact, the creative mind behind the single, some short-lived drama ensued, with Harris slamming his ex and bringing up her ongoing beef with Katy Perry.


'Out of the Woods' Dress

The "Out of the Woods" dress

The video opened with the Grammy winner crawling out of a grave while wearing a blue dress, the same one she wore in her 2015 music video for "Out of the Woods." 



Dollar Bill

The single dollar bill in a bathtub full of diamonds

Eagle-eyed fans noticed a dollar bill floating in Swift's bathtub of diamonds. Earlier this month, she was awarded a symbolic $1 in her groping trial against former Denver radio DJ David Mueller, in which the jury ruled in her favor.



'Et tu Brute' Chair

'Et tu Brute' Chair - Swift transforms into a Katy Perry lookalike.

The throne that the former country singer sat on was engraved with the phrase "Et tu Brute," a line from the William Shakespeare play Julius Caesar. It appeared to be a reference to being stabbed in the back by former friends à la Caesar. 



Tea, Anyone?

Tea, Anyone?

A slithery snake served the "Bad Blood" singer a cup of tea. This could have been in reference to when Kim Kardashian tweeted a series of snake emojis amid her feud with Swift in 2016. 


Gold Car

Gold Car

Midway through the video, Swift crashed a rose gold sports car that looked eerily similar to the one that her former friend Katy Perry drove in her 2009 music video for "Waking Up in Vegas." 



Grammy Shade

Grammy Shade

After the crash, the camera zoomed in on the "Shake It Off" singer to show her wearing a short, Perry-like wig and holding a Grammy Award. Swift has 10 Grammys; Perry has been nominated for several but has yet to win one. 


'I Love T.S.' Shirts

'I Love T.S.' Shirts

The singer's backup dancers wore black "I Love T.S." crop tops, a possible nod to the tank top that her ex-boyfriend Tom Hiddleston notably wore at her July 4 party in 2016. 



Bank Robbery


Bank Robbery

A baseball bat-wielding Swift and her friends robbed a bank named Stream Co., likely a reference to her battle with music streaming companies. Her albums were previously available exclusively on Apple Music, but have since been added to Spotify, Tidal and more. 



Squad Shout-Out

Squad Shout-Out

Swift recreated the "Junior Jewels" shirt that she wore in her 2008 "You Belong With Me" video. The updated top featured the names of her squad members, including Selena Gomez, Gigi Hadid, Blake Lively, Ryan Reynolds and Patrick Stewart, among others. Karlie Kloss, Lorde, Ruby Rose and Hailee Steinfeld's names did not appear to be included.


Met Gala Dress

In one blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene, Swift is laid to rest in the same pale pink gown she wore to the 2014 Met Gala. She wore it again at the end of the video.


Squad U

Those "I Heart TS" shirts.

Swift held court over a room full of models at a place called Squad U in the video, poking fun at past accusations that she manufactures her friendships with fellow A-listers. 



Clones

Clones

A group of Swift clones stood in a line in front of an airplane featuring the title of her upcoming sixth album, Reputation. They each wore various outfits from her previous music videos and headline-making moments. One, in particular, donned the silver dress that Swift wore when Kanye West interrupted her 2009 VMAs acceptance speech. "I'd very much like to be excluded from this narrative," she said in the "Look" music video, referencing a viral line from her response to her feud with Kardashian and West.

The Difference between A-list, B-list, C-list and D-list Actors & Celebrities

-

“A-list”  actors are exceptionally successful, their notoriety extends beyond the silver screen, and their name guarantees a box office hit. Some “A-list” actors include: Will Smith, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep, and Johnny Depp. The “A-list” actors are usually made up of male actors as with more high earning positions. “B-list”  actors are usually television actors or less successful movie stars. Some “B-list” actors include: Nicholas Cage, Katherine Heigl, David Morse, Samantha Morton, and Pierce Brosnan. “B-list” actors usually never headline a film by themselves; this means the supporting actors are usually fairly notable too. “C-list”  actor is a character actor that’s known by face and not by name. They are usually still good actors, but they receive less notoriety than an A or B-list actor. “D-list”  actors are the lowest on the celebrity hierarchy; they appear on celebrity game shows and reality television....
