Taylor Swift is targeting the patriarchy in her newest music video. In the video for “The Man,” Swift’s fourth music video from her Lover album, the 30 year-old singer does some gender bending to portray a man who is the epitome of toxic masculinity.
There are already posts on Twitter deciphering the music video for Easter eggs and other references:

Swift also tweeted a special thank you to The Rock for his “role” in the video:
Just sitting here pondering how happy I am that The Man music video is OUT. I want to say thank you to so many people- Gotta thank @TheRock for voicing The Man and for being so supportive of my music for years (and now my directorial debut!)- pic.twitter.com/6G9G21Lw8J
