7 Incredibly Accurate Fan Theories From Taylor Swift's ...Ready For It? Video
Because who knows more than the Swifties?
Caroline FergussonLet's face it, you might think you know a lot about Taylor Swift and her drams or be super good a symbolism and stuff but no one will be able to spill the tea on the hidden messages in Taylor Swift's new video for ...Ready For It? better than her mega fans.
Well maybe Tay herself but she isn't going to sit us all down and explain is she? That would be the dream though.
Wonder how many girls he had loved and left haunted
But if he's a ghost, then I can be a phantom
Holdin' him for ransom
Some, some boys are tryin' too hard
He don't try at all, though
Younger than my exes but he act like such a man, so
I see nothing better, I keep him forever
Like a vendetta-ta
I-I-I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you
So I take my time
Are you ready for it?
Me, I was a robber first time that he saw me
Stealing hearts and running off and never saying sorry
But if I'm a thief, then he can join the heist
And we'll move to an island-and
And he can be my jailer, Burton to this Taylor
Every lover known in comparison is a failure
I forget their names now, I'm so very tame now
Never be the same now, now
I-I-I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know
(No one has to know)
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby
In the middle of the night in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you
So I take my time
Are you ready for it?
Ooh, are you ready for it?
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
I-I-I see how this is gon' go
Touch me and you'll never be alone
I-Island breeze and lights down low
No one has to know
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
You should see the things we do, baby
In the middle of the night, in my dreams
I know I'm gonna be with you
So I take my time
In the middle of the night
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
Are you ready for it?
Baby, let the games begin
Let the games begin
Let the games begin
Are you ready for it?
But because the Swift nation lost their shiz all over the internet when the vid dropped, we now know all the fan theories that will blow your actual minds...
1. Her boyf Joe Alwyn gets a mention...

At one point in the video, Tay stands with two number painted on the wall behind her. 89 is an obvious nod to her album 1989 and her year of birth and, maybe not so coincidentally, 91 is the birth year of her new man Joe.

One fan pointed out that the name Joseph was written in Chinese symbols in the background of the video and she’s right. We put it into Google translate and everything.

Later she punches in the number 21 to the keyboard and, as Swifties noticed, that’s the day of Joe’s birthday – 21st of February.
2. The snake isn’t going anywhere...
Tay Tay isn’t letting that snake thing go and there are references to it all over the video. Heads up Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, we don’t think this feud will be settled any time soon.

More Chinese symbols pop up meaning the Chinese Zodiac year of the snake which also happens to be the year Taylor was born in. Awks.
3. Many fans think Taylor is breaking free of her old persona in the video...
The nude Tay is thought to represent who she really is, stripped back, and the Taylor in black is who the world portrayed her as.

Plus fans went crazy when she liked a bunch of Tumblr posts with these exact theories.

4. The nude suit...
https://twitter.com/AustinCTweets/status/922599932586070016
As well as the theory that nude Taylor is the real Taylor, fans also pointed out the similarities to a Japanese film Ghost In The Shell, in which a new soldier is made, first of its kind, to rise up and defeat the world’s worst villains. Erm....

Fans also think it could be a pointed reference to Kanye’s Famous video where Taylor is naked. And as we all remember that kicked off the whole drama in the first place.
5. The old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now...
https://twitter.com/earkkky13/status/922469822335672320
There are a bunch of references to her past in the video, mostly around the previous music videos she has done with the direction Joseph Khan.
6. Calvin Harris...

The lightning throughout the video could be nod to the 2016 single she did with Calvin, This Is What You Came For, as the single’s artwork was a drawing of a similar theme.
7. The white horse...
https://twitter.com/swiftlymelissa/status/923773351138439168
Tay is no stranger to having a white horse in her videos and she’s taking it with her into her new life. As well as fans thinking it’s a nod to her old self, it is also thought that she doesn’t need a knight on a white horse to come and save her like she did in her 2008 Fearless video, but that she’ll do it herself.
Now take a look at the other celebs who actually got naked, this time on social media...
