The secret message behind Taylor Swift's new video

Taylor Swift's new video is here - and it's so big it has its own emoji.

Twitter users who use the hashtag #BadBloodMusicVideo on mobile will see this image - a reference to the lyric 'band aids don't fix bullet holes.'

Featuring stars including Selena Gomez, Jessica Alba, Lena Dunham, Kendrick Lamar, Ellie Goulding and Cindy Crawford the song is widely rumoured to be about Katy Perry.

The four-minute video, directed by Joseph Khan, is a little Sin City, and a little Kill Bill. Here are some pop culture references we spotted:

Sin City

Kill Bill

Here they are fighting the Crazy 88.

The Hunger Games

Look at that training room.

X-Men

OK, so it's not a headmaster, but still.

Mad Max

Harry Potter?

Hear us out - in the checking behind corners with mirrors as in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

Insurgent

We haven't seen it, but according to Tumblr.

The Fifth Element

The real message

According to the Washington Post, away from the sci-fi references and celebrities the video contains a real message about power in Hollywood.

Beneath the sleek action-movie video production values, Swift sends a rather chilling underlying message about power in Hollywood: In case you didn’t know it before, she truly has become of the most powerful women in show business. So you shouldn’t even bother to go up against her. Because you will lose.
