Taylor Swift can make all the tables turn

After sharing a series of [snake-themed hype videos](http://time.com/4912680/taylor-swift-album-reputation-internet-reactions/), Taylor Swift has released the first single from her forthcoming sixth album _Reputation_, “[Look What You Made Me Do](http://time.com/4912652/taylor-swift-first-single/).”

It came with an internet-busting declaration: “I’m sorry, the old Taylor can’t come to the phone right now. Why? Oh, ’cause she’s dead.”

And in almost every line of the song, the pop star makes it clear that her persona starring in this narrative is out for revenge. The song’s title even appears along the curvature of a [slithering snake](http://time.com/4914211/taylor-swift-snakes-timeline/) in the animated lyric video, an apparent reference to her online critics.

Between all the pointed talk-sung lyrics and the songwriter’s widely covered [public feuds with Kanye West](http://time.com/4411055/kanye-west-taylor-swift-kim-kardashian-feud/) and [Katy Perry](http://time.com/4790154/katy-perry-taylor-swift-feud-carpool-karaoke/), there was plenty of material for the internet to interpret.

Also buzzy was her apparent evolution. It’s not the first time she used a song to [tell a story about revenge.](http://www.rollingstone.com/music/pictures/ex-factor-taylor-swifts-best-songs-about-former-boyfriends-20160616/mine-20160616) Case in point: her 2014 hit [“Bad Blood.”](http://time.com/3882487/taylor-swift-bad-blood-video-reinvention/) But several people voiced this was a darker Taylor than America’s BFF we once knew.

Fans often pay scholarly attention to the oblique references to the superstar’s personal life in her music. So on Thursday night, it was officially time to hit play on the song, fill a crazy room with her press clippings and figure out what it means.


Here are the lines people had the strongest responses to.

Of course someone combined the list of Taylor Swift’s pop rivals with _Game of Thrones’_ Arya Stark’s kill list, for the ultimate megastar to do list.
