Twitter Got In Formation to Mock Taylor Swift’s New Video Before It Dropped

Taylor, we’re gonna let you finish but Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time.

After dropping her new single, “Look What You Made Me Do,” on Thursday evening, Taylor Swift followed up with a sneak peek of the video, which she announced would debut during Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards.

Though Swift may have been looking to eclipse her musical rival Katy Perry, who released the overstuffed video for “Swish Swish” Thursday morning, the strategy backfired.

Despite the preview being 20 seconds long, there was only really one shot that mattered to the internet. In one spitter, she’s flanked by her squad. Except this time, white women don’t comprise her squad. Instead she’s flanked by a group of men mostly men of color, including RuPaul’s Drag Race judge and YouTube content creator Todrick Hall.

But rather than bringing up bad memories of “Bad Blood,” most people thought that Taylor and her melanin-infused squad were trying a bit too hard to imitate another cultural landmark Beyonce’s Black-Lives-Matter-themed “Formation,” and her Super Bowl performance of the song. And thus, a meme was born.

A lot of people riffed on the chorus of “Formation.”

Others chose to invoke Beyonce’s recounting of her heritage:

And, perhaps the song’s most quotable line, “When he fuck me good I take his ass to Red Lobster.”
