Taylor Swift Goes Full Bionic Woman In 'Ready For It' Music Video

Scarlett Johansson can’t come to the phone right now, because Taylor Swift just stole her gig. And it didn’t even really belong to her anyway.

The pop star released the second music video of her “Reputation” era at midnight on Friday for the single “Ready For It,” a thumping anthem from her upcoming album that’s rumored to be about her new boyfriend, actor Joe Alwyn.

Directed by Joseph Kahn, who’s helmed five of Swift’s previous videos, the sci-fi mini-movie finds the singer donning a nude bionic bodysuit à la “Ghost in the Shell,” as she’s imprisoned by her hooded alter ego in a dystopian future.

It’s all very off-brand “Blade Runner” with a “Terminator” twist, as both version of Swift are revealed to be robots.
