Fans Think Taylor Swift's Being Nude in the '…Ready for It?' Video Is a Dig at Kanye West
Taylor Swift released a teaser for her “…Ready for It?” music video yesterday, and it looks amazing. From the 10 seconds we saw, it appears Swift plays some kind of neon, crime-fighting robot. Her eyes glow in the dark at one point. Lightning bolts shoot out of her hands. Oh, and she appears to be naked.
That last tidbit, naturally, sent the Internet into a tailspin. (Although it really shouldn’t have. Naked people aren’t a big deal, but here we are.) Granted, Swift’s nudity isn’t confirmed, but it sure looks like she’s sporting her birthday suit while battling these futuristic bad guys. Why is she naked, though? Fans have been chattering about this for the past 24 hours, and one theory is dominating the conversation: Kanye West.
The Internet seems to think Swift’s nudity is a not-so-subtle dig at West’s “Famous” video, in which a Swift mannequin lies next to him…completely naked. Remember when that happened?
“IS IT JUST ME OR DID EVERYBODY ELSE REALIZE THAT TAYLOR PUTTING ON A BODY SUIT AND LOOKING NAKED IS HER WAY OF DISSING KANYE & HIS FAMOUS MV,” one fan tweeted shortly after the “…Ready for It?” teaser dropped. “Remember when Kanye had that ‘naked’ Taylor for famous? She’s turning it back with android naked Taylor for#ReadyForItMusicVideo,” wrote another. Here are a few more tweets that allude to the same theory:

So is this true? It’s certainly possible. Swift’s Reputation era, thus far, has been all about firing back at the negative stories and feuds that followed her in 2016. Swiping West by stripping down perfectly aligns with that theme. We’ll probably never know for sure, though—Swift isn’t really doing press for this album—so let the theorizing continue.
