Taylor Swift takes aim at her critics and pokes fun at herself in the video for Look What You Made Me Do.<\/p>\n

The new track had its official premiere at the MTV VMAs in Los Angeles and features her darker side leaving her former self behind her.<\/p>\n

The single is thought to be\u00a0aimed at stars like Kanye West\u00a0and Katy Perry.<\/p>\n

The video begins with Taylor Swift dressed as a zombie climbing out of a grave with a headstone reading “Here lies Taylor Swift’s reputation”.<\/p>\n

A tombstone next to hers has the name Nils Sj\u00f6berg on it – the pseudonym she used for a song she wrote for ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The dress she’s wearing while coming out of the grave is from Out Of The Woods – her final 1989 video<\/div>\n

The 27-year-old is then seen dressed as a biker, a celebrity crashing their sports car, a bank robber wearing a kitty mask and a dominatrix.<\/p>\n

But some fans have criticised her for being shown relaxing in a bath of diamonds, claiming it’s a reference to Kim Kardashian’s robbery in Paris.<\/p>\n

Other people are saying it’s a reference to a joke she made when she\u00a0performed Blank Space acoustically\u00a0at the Grammy Museum last January.<\/p>\n

Taylor Swift’s mock throne is slithering with snakes – which have been a feature of her social media campaign for Reputation. The side of it’s also engraved with “Et tu Brute”<\/div>\n

There’s also a dollar note tucked into the back of the bath full of diamonds – referencing her court case against\u00a0ex-radio DJ David Mueller, who she proved had groped her at a 2013 concert.<\/p>\n

She appears to poke fun at her relationship with ex-boyfriend Tom Hiddleston with her backing dancers wearing tops with “I (heart) TS” on them.<\/p>\n

The British actor was photographed wearing a similar vest last year when the couple were going out.<\/p>\n

That’s also YouTube star Todrick Hall on the left – one of Taylor’s mates<\/p>\n

The director of Taylor Swift’s new music video, Joseph Kahn, has\u00a0denied that he’s copied\u00a0Beyonce’s Formation video.<\/p>\n

It’s after fans compared their videos.<\/p>\n

The clip ends in different versions of Taylor Swift, from previous music videos and performances, falling off a slope and into what looks like an abyss.<\/p>\n

They’re then lined up in front of a plane with the name of her new album, Reputation, spray painted across it.<\/p>\n

One version of Taylor Swift says to a crying version of herself: “There she goes, playing the victim – again.”<\/p>\n

\"Taylor<\/div>\n

The pop star also mocks the moment West crashed the stage as she gave an acceptance speech during the MTV VMAs in 2009.<\/p>\n

Wearing the same outfit, Swift repeats words used in a statement given last year in response to a feud with the rapper: “I would very much like to be excluded from this narrative.”<\/p>\n

Hours after the music video aired, it’s had more than 13 million streams online.<\/p>\n

Taylor Swift’s new album Reputation, will be released in November.<\/p>\n

The release of the track and video came after Taylor Swift\u00a0wiped her social media channels\u00a0last week before sharing cryptic videos of snakes on her pages.<\/p>\n
