'...Ready For It?' Taylor Swift's New Music Video Is Released With Polarizing Reviews

Taylor Swift debuted the music video for "...Ready For It?" early Friday morning, and it's already causing fans to take sides.
​
Although the video's director, Joseph Kahn, insists the video for Swift's second single off her upcoming album is an "homage to sci-fi and anime," others are pointing out its eerie similarities to "Ghost in the Shell," which is prompting the age-old discussion about Hollywood's continued whitewashing of traditionally Asian roles in the same year Scarlett Johansson was criticized for playing the part of Major Mira Killian. And many feel the video was full of cultural appropriation.

Most Swifties are happy with the video, saying the video signified Taylor freeing herself from society's expectations, but tons of others are pissed at the pop star. ​
