Even before it was released in its entirety, the video drew criticism on Twitter for co-opting another pop diva's onscreen aesthetic.

The director of Swift's new video, Joseph Kahn — a Beyoncé collaborator, no less — has since responded to the criticism.
 

Only 5 shots in the video have been released. You know nothing Jon Snow.

Also there's something to that "formation" shot I painted out and you haven't seen yet. Stay tuned Sunday :)#LWYMMDvideo#SneakyAsian

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.

Well, now the remaining shots have been revealed. Watch the complete video for "Look What You Made Me Do" below.

The clip follows the elaborate rollout of the single, which will appear on Swift's next album, Reputation. The singer's sixth studio record arrives on November 10 — and no, it's not intended to coincide with the tenth anniversary of the death of Kanye West's mother.
