Thanks to one coy tweet from the video's director, Joseph Kahn, it seems Swift's alter ego may have inspired a cyborg in this visual. Before the video premiered, Kahn tweeted, "Nils Sjöbot," a reference to her songwriting pseudonym, Nils Sjoberg. For those who missed it, she used the pseudonym for her writing credit on "This Is What You Came For," which she co-wrote with ex Calvin Harris. As further potential reference to that track, teaser material for the "...Ready for It" music video featured blue lightening, a nod to the track artwork for "This Is What You Came For."
