Say goodbye to the old Taylor Swift, because she killed her past in her latest video.
The video for “Look What You Made Me Do” opens in a graveyard with “Here lies Taylor Swift’s reputation” engraved on a headstone.
The video is dark and involves a lot of snakes. At one point, she stands on a mountain of Taylors from her past videos.
Her whole stance is to kill off any perceptions people might have of her. The edgier look is different for Swift, but it goes with the idea she’s trying to leave her past behind.
Some fans reacted to the video on Twitter:
Taylor Swift, do you understand how emotional you just made me? pic.twitter.com/xJlNUr67NH

It's official, Look What You Made Me Do wasn't about Kanye or Kim or Katy. It was about us.

Let’s hope the new Swift can sell just as many records as the old.
