Here are five things to know. And watch the full video above.
1“ME!” features Panic at the Disco Brendon Urie
Swift co-wrote the song with Urie and Joel Little. Swift also was the co-director for the video.
2The Video Also Featured the Dixie Chicks
As Swift sings “there’s a lot of cool chicks out there”, you will see artwork of baby chicks and then it pans to a photo of the Dixie Chicks. Could this mean a collaboration with the Dixie Chicks is coming soon?
The Dixie Chicks posted a clip of the video on Instagram with the emoji for two eyes tagging Taylor Swift.
Swift replied to the Dixie Chicks on Twitter saying, “Chick stans never unstan”
3First Song with New Label
Swift made the switch from Big Machine Record Label to Universal Music Group- this was her first song released under her new label home.
4Â There’s a New Cat in the Video
Swift’s two cats Meredith and Olivia make an appearance but Urie gives Swift a silver cat to which fans speculate is a new pet. Swift confirmed on Instagram saying, “And then there were three” but she hasn’t revealed a name yet.
5Â Karyn gets a makeover
During Swift’s Reputation Tour, the giant 60 foot plus snake she named Karyn made an appearance each night. In the first few seconds of the video, the snake appears and fans are saying it’s Karyn but in pale colors that burst into butterflies. Does this give us insight to the new album TS7 or is this Swift reinventing herself again?
