People think Taylor Swift's new video looks suspiciously familiar
Taylor Swift dropped her much-anticipated new single Look What You Made Me Do yesterday, and while the accompanying music video won’t be debuted until Monday’s MTV Video Music Awards, a tiny teaser that was released with it has been attracting a whole lot of attention.
The clip - which you can watch above - only goes for 15 seconds and features five frames from the video, but if you thought there was something strangely familiar about one of them, you’re not alone.
Keen-eyed fans have focused in on the shot where Tay Tay is standing under a chandelier flanked by a line of male backup dancers.
People are saying it looks suspiciously similar to a famous scene from Beyonce’s Formation video and they’re getting pretty riled up about it:

So what do you think?
Meanwhile, Taylor's record company has also had to come out and say that she the release date of her new album on November 10 was not purposely meant to co-incide with the tenth anniversary of Kanye West's mother's death.
There's already been speculation that her first single references the rapper in the line that say, "I don’t like your little games / I don’t like your tilted stage".

Of course, Taylor and Kanye's feud goes back to 2009 when he interrupted her acceptance speech at the MTV VMAs to say Beyonce should have won.
