At first we just had her lyric video, but now Taylor's continuing the slow drip release of stuff to support her new single "Look What You Made Me Do" from her new album Reputation with this teaser of the actual video.
And of course, controversy is already brewing over the short clip, with claims she knocked off Beyonce's "Formation" video by Taylor wearing black, standing in front of her backup dancers in, well ... a formation. Bey did the same thing in her clip for the single and "fans" are calling her out.
Beyoncé played on being a plantation owner in Formation & now that Taylor Swift is ripping from it she's trying to be one too #WhiteFeminism pic.twitter.com/P3z0CD1v8E

Other haters quipped, "Lemonade, Minute Maid" and "The song is a poor man’s Britney, the video’s gonna be a poor man’s Beyoncé. Taylor Swift wants to be anyone but Taylor Swift." Ouch!
The clip's director Joseph Kahn replied to the accusations with this: "I've worked with Beyoncé a few times. She's an amazing person. The #LWYMMDvideo is not in her art space. Love and respect to Bey." Get up outta Bey's art space, Swiz!
The clip will debut during MTV's VMA's how Aug. 27.
Meanwhile, Taylor's getting some unlikely promotion from UPS -- yes, United Parcel Service -- with this ad. Who dreamed up this collab?!
