In the final seconds of the new visual, Tay looks directly into the camera as her eyes turn an electric blue similar to the eye color of the White Walkers in the HBO drama. “Okay so my main takeaway from the [#ReadyForItMusicVideo](https://twitter.com/hashtag/ReadyForItMusicVideo?src=hash) is that [@taylorswift13](https://twitter.com/taylorswift13) is a White Walker, and tbh I was ready for it,” Twitter user [@kendallllla](https://twitter.com/kendallllla) wrote. There is also an earlier scene in which Swift sits atop an armored horse that is apparently giving some viewers major Night King vibes. “I THOUGHT [@taylorswift13](https://twitter.com/taylorswift13) IS THE WHITE WALKER FROM GAME OF THRONES,” user [@Crystelemenopi](https://twitter.com/Crystelemenopi) captioned a screenshot of the moment. > [](https://twitter.com/kendallllla/status/923764690773086208) > [](https://twitter.com/Crystelemenopi/status/923773094686101504) See some of the Westerosi reactions below. > [](https://twitter.com/%5FDRaval/status/923810288226279425) > [](https://twitter.com/realVivekTiwari/status/923914674386608129) > [](https://twitter.com/lkovmenardd/status/923844856782512128) > [](https://twitter.com/aliciakram/status/923766043272769536) > [](https://twitter.com/hcmoreland7/status/920853908112707584) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/5000177/taylor-swift-ready-for-it-video-game-of-thrones-white-walker/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/5000177/taylor-swift-ready-for-it-video-game-of-thrones-white-walker/"},"headline":"Taylor Swift's New 'Ready for It' Music Video Took an Unexpected Game of Thrones Turn","datePublished":"2017-10-27T15:49:44.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:48:19.543Z","description":"You know nothing, Taylor Swift fans","url":"https://time.com/5000177/taylor-swift-ready-for-it-video-game-of-thrones-white-walker/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","game of thrones","Music","viral","Taylor Swift","Music videos","TV"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltaed87fdfb8853846/6988e3a7196cf48874042832/screen-shot-2017-10-27-at-10-42-32-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltaed87fdfb8853846/6988e3a7196cf48874042832/screen-shot-2017-10-27-at-10-42-32-am.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Taylor-Swift-Ready-for-It","caption":"","creditText":"Taylor Swift","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/5000177/taylor-swift-ready-for-it-video-game-of-thrones-white-walker/","name":"Taylor Swift's New 'Ready for It' Music Video Took an Unexpected Game of Thrones Turn"}}]}] ```
