The singer premiered 15 seconds of the much-anticipated music video — directed by Joseph Kahn, the creative force behind multiple videos from Swift’s _1989_ album, including “Bad Blood” — on _Good Morning America_ Friday morning. The whole thing will be shown live on MTV in two day’s time. But shortly after Swift’s announcement, social media users were quick to point out that there’s something slightly awkward about the video premiering at the VMAs. Katy Perry is the host of this year’s awards. Perry is Swift’s [longtime frenemy,](http://time.com/4865003/katy-perry-taylor-swift-feud-comments/) who some people believe is referenced in “Look What You Made Me Do.” The _Swish Swish_ singer revealed the news of her new gig in late July, writing on Twitter: “Introducing your MOONWOMAN. Brace for impact!” Perry is also nominated in five categories, including Artist of the Year. She has not yet responded to the news of Swift’s video premiere. The 2017 VMAs will air live from Los Angeles Sunday, Aug. 27 at 8 p.m. ET on MTV.
