​Taylor Swift Directs, Writes, Owns and Stars in Video for "The Man"

Taylor Swift has already given us a lyric video and live performance clip for her Lover song  "The Man," but now the actual music video has finally arrived.
 
She makes no small deal out of the fact that the video is directed by, written by, owned by and starring herself — proving that she is indeed a boss.
 
The clip sees exactly the kind of man the song is lambasting as he yells a lot at work, hangs out on yachts with models and eventually throws a tantrum on a tennis court.
 
In the final scene, we see Swift step out of her director chair and ask the male actor to be "sexier" and "more likable."
 
It's then revealed that the male lead was played by Swift all along (thanks to some killer makeup and prosthetics). The character's speaking voice is provided by Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, though.
 
Watch the video for "The Man" below.
