Swifties, your favorite's officially arrived.

Taylor Swift dropped her brand new single "Look What You Made Me Do" late on Thursday, Aug. 24, 2017, along with a lyric video. The song features biting lyrics like "I don't like your little games / Don't like your tilted stage / The role you made me play/ Of the fool, no, I don't like you" and "The world moves on/ Another day, another drama, drama/ But not for me, not for me/ All I think about is karma."

And, of course, fans were quick to suspect that the revenge-driven song is about Swift's feuds with Kanye West, Kim Kardashian, and Katy Perry, as noted by E! News.

But alas, there's more Swift news to be had: A new music video for "Look What You Made Me Do" is on the way, and it's premiering at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, Aug. 27. And, if you've been looking forward to the big awards show, then you already know that Swift's pop star rival Perry is hosting the event—so the debut should be interesting, to say the least.

Swift previewed the video on Good Morning America on Friday, Aug. 25, and, from the short clip and the video stills alone, it definitely looks like a must-see.

As E! News describes, Swift, 27, has a long history of memorable appearances at the VMAs. In 2009, Swift beat out Beyoncé for Best Female Video, which led to West famously taking over the stage to proclaim, "Yo, Taylor, I'm really happy for you and I'mma let you finish, but Beyoncé had one of the best videos of all time."

They later made up—or, at least, appeared to—when Swift presented West with the Video Vanguard Award at the 2015 VMAs. But, as we all know, their relationship soon took a nosedive after West released the song "Famous," which featured the lyric "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that b**** famous."

While we wait for her video's premiere at the VMAs, catch up on Swift's ever-growing list of enemies.
