The lush video is packed with [references](http://time.com/4918411/taylor-swift-look-what-you-made-me-do-music-video-references/) to the pop star’s relationships — like her[ long-running feud with Katy Perry](http://time.com/4914066/taylor-swift-katy-perry-feud-timeline/) — which have been routinely scrutinized during her years in the spotlight. One of symbols she works into the story likely references her summer 2016 flame, Tom Hiddleston. Her battalion of dancers turn up in “I heart TS” crop tops. People who have been paying attention to the plot noticed it right away as Tom Hiddleston’s uniform from her [2016 Fourth of July bash](http://time.com/4394014/taylor-swift-4th-of-july-instagram-2016/). It was a t-shirt emblazoned with a love declaration so widely covered that even Robert Downey Jr. [teased his Marvel co-star about it](http://time.com/4446378/robert-downey-jr-tom-hiddleston-instagram/).
