BURN BOOK BEAT
Taylor Swift fans convinced new song is a dig at Katy Perry as they spot beat is identical to a track from a key scene in Mean Girls
TAYLOR Swift's new song Look What You Made Me Do uses the film Mean Girls to cleverly reference her beef with Katy Perry.
Katy once called Taylor "Regina George in sheep's clothing", referencing the high school film villain over no. 1 single Bad Blood, which was about their fall-out.

And now Taylor has taken ownership of the insult by directly sampling the song that underscores one of Regina's meanest moments in her comeback single.
F*** The Pain Away by Peaches is the soundtrack to the Halloween party that sees Regina smooch her ex-boyfriend Aaron Samuels in front of new girl Cady Heron, in full knowledge of the fact that Cady has a crush on him.
The scene is the catalyst for the plot to ruin Regina's life that drives the movie - and one film superfan couldn't miss the reference in Look What You Made Me Do.
Twitter user noticed the similarity on his first listen of Taylor's new hit, and checked it against the film immediately.

Meanwhile other fans were excited at the prospect of all the showbiz drama if the entire album turned out to be Taylor's personal "Burn Book".
In Mean Girls, the Burn Book was where Regina and her cronies wrote down horrible things about everyone in the school.
One fan joked: "One time, Taylor punched me in the face," referring to one character's recollection of her best interactions with school bully Regina.

Taylor's new album Reputation looks set to be all about what other people think of her, and the negative public image she has acquired in the last year.
Kim Kardashian and Kanye West put her on blast after she claimed to be offended by lyrics in his hit Famous - which she had already heard and approved.
While her ex Calvin Harris slammed her after her rep confirmed she had co-written his hit This Is What You Came For, despite their agreement to keep the collaboration under wraps.

The Sheep mascot is, you guessed it, a wolf in sheep's clothing, hinting at Taylor perhaps not being as nice as she'd like people to think she is.
While the video's storyline - Katy triumphing over her enemy team - is a not-so-subtle way of warning Taylor that she's coming for her crown.
