Taylor Swift fans have drawn plenty of theories out of the teaser for her upcoming music video for “...Ready For It?”.

One of the most popular is around the costume she wears in the clip: she appears to be wearing a nude bodysuit.

Many fans think this alludes to Kanye West's video for "Famous" where he featured a naked wax model of the pop star.

West's track included the controversial lyric: "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex."

Upon its release he claimed that Swift had approved the lyrics, but she publicly condemned the song, before appearing to reference the incident in her speech at the Grammys just weeks later.

West's wife Kim Kardashian then leaked audio which appeared to show West on the phone reading the lyrics to Swift, and Swift seeming to approve the line "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex". However there was no recording of her listening to or approving the following line where West rapped: "I made that bitch famous."

Swift fans now think her new music video, where she appears to be naked, is her "reclaiming" her body after it was used in West's video.

Several instances in the material from Swift's forthcoming album reputation appear to be around her feud with the celebrity couple.

In her video for "Look What You Made Me Do" Swift is pictured in a bath filled with diamond jewellery, which many believed was a reference to Kim Kardashian being robbed at gunpoint in Paris.

The music video for "...Ready For It?" is set for release on Thursday night in the US - for more updates check here.
