‘Break The Internet’ is very 2014 but it’s exactly what Taylor Swift just did...

The singer returned last week with a brand new single ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ and premiered its brilliant video during the 2017 MTV VMAs on Sunday night.

Despite millions watching the video during the awards show, it has broken the VEVO record for most views in 24 hours with an astounding 39 MILLION VIEWS!

I don't like your little games
Don't like your tilted stage
The role you made me play
Of the fool
No, I don't like you

I don't like your perfect crime
How you laugh when you lie
You said the gun was mine
Isn't cool
No, I don't like you (Ooh!)

But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time
Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time
I got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined
I check it once, then I check it twice, ooh!

Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me…

Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me do

I don't like your kingdom keys
They once belonged to me
You asked me for a place to sleep
Locked me out and threw a feast (What?)

The world moves on, another day, another drama, drama
But not for me, not for me, all I think about is karma
And then the world moves on, but one thing's for sure
Maybe I got mine, but you'll all get yours

But I got smarter, I got harder in the nick of time
Honey, I rose up from the dead, I do it all the time
I got a list of names and yours is in red, underlined
I check it once, then I check it twice, ooh!

Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me…

Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me do

I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me
I'll be the actress starring in your bad dreams
I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me
I'll be the actress starring in your bad dreams
I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me
I'll be the actress starring in your bad dreams
I don't trust nobody and nobody trusts me
I'll be the actress starring in your bad dreams

"I'm sorry, but the old Taylor can't come to the phone right now…"
"Why? Oh, ‘cause she's dead." (Ooh!)

Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me…

Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me do

Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me…

Ooh, look what you made me do
Look what you made me do
Look what you just made me do
Look what you just made me do

This ends Adele’s 675-day reign after ‘Hello’ snatched the title from Taylor’s own ‘Bad Blood’, so it looks like Miss Swift is the Queen of VEVO once again.

‘Look What You Made Me Do’ surpassed the 27.7 million mark set by ‘Hello’ after just 18 hours, then racked up another 12 milli before the day ended.

Considering that it’s Taylor’s best (and most controversial) video to date, we’re not surprised… and it’s very deserving.

Subtlety doesn’t have a place in the reference-packed video, which extravagantly calls out everything the media have had to say about her for the last decade, and it's all the more amazing for it.

Need some help unpacking the references? We’ve got you covered…

Been sitting eyes wide open behind these four walls, hoping you'd call
It's just a cruel existence like there's no point hoping at all

Baby, baby, I feel crazy, up all night, all night and every day
Give me something, oh, but you say nothing
What is happening to me?

I don't wanna live forever, 'cause I know I'll be living in vain
And I don't wanna fit wherever
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home

I'm sitting eyes wide open and I got one thing stuck in my mind
Wondering if I dodged a bullet or just lost the love of my life, oh

Baby, baby, I feel crazy
Up all night, all night and every day
I gave you something, but you gave me nothing
What is happening to me?

I don't wanna live forever, 'cause I know I'll be living in vain
And I don't wanna fit (fit, babe) wherever (wherever)
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home

I've been looking sad in all the nicest places
Baby, baby, I feel crazy
I see you around in all these empty faces
Up all night, all night and every day
I've been looking sad in all the nicest places
Give me something, oh, but you say nothing
Now I'm in a cab, I tell 'em where your place is
What is happening to me?

I don't wanna live forever, 'cause I know I'll be living in vain
And I don't wanna fit wherever
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home

I just wanna keep calling your name until you come back home
Until you come back home
