In it, she transforms into her male alter ego, Tyler Swift.
bright and early Thursday morning , after teasing it with a clip that showed what appeared to be a man looking out an office window.
Many fans surmised that the man was actually Swift—and they were right. Throughout the video, she portrays a male version of herself, Tyler Swift, a character walking through life with all the benefits afforded to men.The song is one of Swift’s most overtly feminist hits, with lyrics that dissect the double standards women face in the world—and in the music industry. Take the opening lines, for example: “I would be complex. / I would be cool.
Swift also directed the video. This isn’t the first time she’s taken charge behind the camera. She codirected the video for “Lover” and went solo for her holiday release, “Christmas Tree Farm.” It’s a pretty straightforward interpretation of the song, showing Taylor as Tyler being an angry boss but still receiving praise, manspreading, and smoking a cigar on the subway as if he owns the place.
. In one scene, Tyler is seen peeing against a wall in the 13th Street subway station; on the wall are the names of her old albums written in graffiti with a sign that says they’re “missing” and should be returned to Taylor Swift if found.
