It's no secret that Taylor Swift's new song and music video have rocked the airwaves and taken over social media. With all of her recent controversies, Taylor has hidden some messages in her newest music video and included some clapbacks at certain people as well. Here is all the secret messages hidden in her video:

1. "Here lies Taylor Swift's reputation"

The opening scene of the music video is a graveyard with a tombstone that reads "Here lies Taylor Swift's reputation" and that is the first sign that she is coming out swinging.

2. The blue dress

She then comes out of the grave wearing the same blue dress she has on in her "Out of the woods" music video which symbolizes her picking up right where she left from her 1989 era.

3. The second gravestone

The second gravestone reads "Nils Sjoberg" which is the cover up name she used when she co-wrote a song with her ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris signifying that she plans on taking proper credit for her work in the future.

4. The diamond bathtub

In the bathtub scene there is a dollar bill laying right next to her that she was awarded $1 from a a sexual assault case. The DJ who sexually assaulted her tried to sue her for defamation of character and she counter sued for only $1 to prove a point.

5. "Et tu Brute"

The chair she sits on in the music video reads "Et tu Brute" on the sides, which is what is said in the Julius Caesar play right before he is stabbed in the back so it's pretty clear Taylor is referencing her friends who have recently stabbed her in the back.

6. Snakes serving her tea

Pretty clear symbolism here with the snakes and the tea. With her recent drama surrounding Kanye West and Kim Kardashians fans spamming her with snake emojis, it's clear she is referencing this situation and serving the "tea" (this one is for Kendall Jenner). She even went as far as having a snake tattoo on her leg in the scene where she swinging in the birdcage.

7. The "Stream Co."

Taylor and her friends in the music video rob a bank entitled "Stream Co." which is a reference to her speaking out about Apple music and other music companies to pay artists differently for streams.

8. Squad U

This is in reference to Taylor's girl squad which critics have made comments about her creating perfect friends and having control over them.

9. Laying with mannequins

Taylor is symbolizing her fake relationships with old friends.

10. The mountain

Taylor is standing on the mountain of all of her past selves and old characters she has played in her music videos with the illuminating "T" in the background symbolizing that she is no longer any of those people.

11. The end skit

Taylor ends the video in a line of her former music video characters that bring light to all of the things critics have said about her and ends with her wearing the famous VMA's dress from when Kanye West interrupted her.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
