10 hidden messages in Taylor Swift’s “…Ready For It?” video you may have missed

Taylor Swift just dropped the music video for her second single “Ready For It” and just like the last video, it is packed with hidden messages and easter eggs. Back in the day, Swift used to hide secret messages in the liners notes for her albums, but now she’s moved the practice to her videos. Her videos have become visual scavenger hunts and are better for it.

Here are 10 easter eggs you might have missed in the video for “Ready for It.”
