Did Taylor Swift Rip Off Beyoncé? Some Think So

 

As part of Taylor Swift’s reinvention, the ex-country singer is unleashing a single that asserts her dislike for her enemies and the accompanying visual contains some Beyoncé-esque images.


Twitter users instantly peeped the similarities between Swift’s teaser for the “Look What You Made Me Do” video and clips from Bey’s “Lemonade” album.

Then, Twitter’s undeniably hilarious creative streak kicked in and folks started mocking Swift’s new good-girl-gone-bad image that seemed to borrow heavily from Queen Bey.


Bey’s “Lemonade” Instantly Got Folks Talking:

  1. Beyonce’s ‘Lemonade’ Inspires Course On Black Feminism by University of Texas Professor
  2. Azealia Banks Flip Flops On Critique of Beyoncé’s ‘Lemonade’ Album: Goes From ‘Amazing’ to ‘She’s a Thief’
  3. Serena Williams’ Appearance In Beyonce’s Visual Album ‘Lemonade’ Sets Tongues Wagging

Many used their wit to make a parody out of iconic “Formation” lyrics like, “My daddy Alabama, momma Louisiana/You mix that negro with that Creole, make a Texas bama” and, “When he f— me good, I take his ass to Red Lobster.”
