Many folks took to Twitter to voice their opinions on the video. Folks like George Takei, who took the opportunity to compare the video to a certain superhero franchise that has faced some criticism lately for their treatment of female superheroes.

Check the Tweet out below.

Ouch.

This is most likely a response to the recent criticism of the latest Avengers film in which fans were unhappy with the treatment of the Black Widow. After all, it isn’t enough that she’s a female assassin who consistently holds her own next to genetically enhanced super soldiers, billionaires with weaponized suits of armor, angry green rage beasts, and literal Norse gods, she must also never be captured by an army of hyper intelligent cyborgs or fall in love.

Swift’s video has been making its rounds on social media where it is going crazy viral. The pop star gathered a whole flock of celebrities to appear in the video.

From The Rolling Stone:

"“As promised, Selena Gomez, Kendrick Lamar, Jessica Alba, Lena Dunham, Ellie Goulding, Hayley Williams and others in Swift’s circle appeared in the dark, action-packed video. After Swift (as Catastrophe) and Gomez (as Arsyn) engage in a high-flying martial arts display, Gomez kicks Swift through a window and sends the singer falling onto a car.”"

It’s well worth the watch even if you don’t like her music (if you don’t then check your pulse because you don’t have a heart).
