Country star Taylor Swift is either with the smoke or trolling – or maybe both. The Internet is convinced her new “…Ready For It?” music video teaser is a shot aimed directly at hip-hop nemesis Kanye West.
According to growing speculation, Swift’s visual is a low-key response to Kanye’s now-infamous “Famous” music video which featured a nude wax figure Taylor.
And since her body does look a lot like the way it was portrayed in the “Famous” video, the evidence seems to be pointing that way — especially since Swift has liked posts on Tumblr where fans made the connection between West’s interpretation of her naked body and the “…Ready For It?” version, like this one that addresses Swift using her body for self-empowerment and one about how she’s taking back her story from those who have used her body without consent, including West.

In late August, buzz developed over Kanye’s fans gearing up to troll Swift.
Some fans became suspicious after Taylor announced that her upcoming album Reputation would drop on November 10, which is the ten-year anniversary of Kanye’s mother’s death. (While Taylor has yet to respond to the coincidence, her label did address the date, saying that it’s “standard practice that releases come out on Fridays and we locked in this release date based on other Universal Music Group releases.”) Still, it would seem that many Kanye fans are upset about the unfortunate overlap — so much that they decided to “reclaim” November 10 as “Hey Mama” day.

Days prior, Swift’s camp shut down rumors about her trolling Kanye by putting out the upcoming Reputation album on the 10-year anniversary date of Ye’s mom’s death.
“It is standard practice that releases come out on Fridays and we locked in this release date based on other Universal Music Group releases,” a publicist at Swift’s label tells PEOPLE. “There is no correlation.” (People Music)
stop promoting this cookie cutter non hip-hop shit
I think she should’ve made a song called stick a finger in it and put Amber Rose in the video and have Wiz Khalifa rap a hook on the song.In the video she could’ve had a Kanye lookalike running around yelling out “I’m an alien” she also could have a Kim K lookalike in it getting robbed while Kanyes lookalike starts screaming” my wife’s a G” like hesaid at last year’s MTV awards show.She also could’ve had a bunch of kids running up to Santa Claus and the Kim lookalike looking over at Santa getting jealous and the Kim lookalike starts to take off her clothes because she’s jealous no one is paying her any attention.Stick a finger in it!!! LMAO ☝👆
