If you're anything like us, you've probably had Taylor Swift's new album, Midnights (3am Edition) on repeat since it dropped last week. The Midnights Mayhem is still going strong, as Tay made an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon to tease her new music video for "Bejeweled" ahead of its midnight release on October 25.

Just like the video for "Anti-Hero," "Bejeweled" was written and directed by Taylor and features a slew of celebrity cameos, including the Haim sisters as her evil step-sisters, Oscar Winner Laura Dern™️ as her stepmother, iconic makeup artist Pat McGrath as the queen, BFF and longtime producer Jack Antonoff as the prince, and burlesque extraordinaire Dita Von Teese as Tay's "Fairy Goddess."

Naturally, Taylor took to social media to share her gratitude for the cast and crew of the ✨sparkly✨ new video. "Bejeweled video is out NOW! Directed by this tired tacky wench. Got to make this with my best friends @haimtheband, greatest of greats @lauradern, icon of burlesque and glamour @ditavonteese, genius and actual dame @patmcgrathreal and my partner in Midnights mayhem @jackantonoff. Love you guys so much. Stay sparkly out there. 😘," she wrote in her caption.

According to Tay's interview on The Tonight Show, there's "a PDF file for the Easter eggs" found in the "Bejeweled" music video. So, we immediately took notes, went to work, and found all the Easter eggs in Taylor Swift's "Bejeweled" music video so you don't have to.

The String Arrangements and Step-Family Conversation

At the beginning of the music video, we see "House Wench Taylor" as she speaks with her stepmother and stepsisters. Her stepmother makes a reference to the folklore track, "Exile," and insinuates that a marriage proposal is an ultimate achievement for a young woman — something Taylor criticizes on Midnights, specifically on the track, "Lavender Haze." Perhaps the track will have its own music video, or it's just a reiteration of Taylor's feminist beliefs.

Her stepmother and stepsisters make several Swift-induced references, including the use of the word "swiftly," and calling her a snake — something internet trolls did after her public 2016 drama with Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. In the video, her stepmother also says "Speak not, tired tacky wench. Clean!" which could be a nod to Taylor's album, Speak Now.

While all of this goes down, a string arrangement of "Enchanted" — a song from that very album — plays in the background. Another string arrangement from Speak Now, "Long Live," also plays at the end of the "Bejeweled" video. This is one of many clues we found that reference Taylor's 2010 album. Could Speak Now be her next re-record?

The Colored Jewels and Elevator Buttons

When she's in the elevator, Taylor rocks tons of different colored jewels. However, her earrings can potentially be an Easter egg as they have a small red jewel above a larger purple jewel, representing her last re-record, Red (Taylor's Version), and potentially her next, Speak Now (Taylor's Version). Tay's multi-colored necklace also resembles the charm bracelet that was listed on her official merch site ahead of Midnights' release.

Then, there are the elevator buttons. Swifties on Twitter were quick to point out that each color signifies a different album or Taylor era. Most notably, the color purple is tied to her third album, Speak Now, as she wears a dress of the same color on the original album art. Not only is the "3" elevator button purple, but the top floor, 13, is another shade of violet.

Taylor's next re-record would also *technically* be her thirteenth album, so fans are theorizing that Speak Now (Taylor's Version) could be coming next. Per USA Today, real-life elevator buttons typically skip the thirteenth floor because of superstitions in the 1800s, so there's no real telling how this relates to Taylor.

Taylor's Hood

The hood Taylor rocks in the elevator is reminiscent of the same looks she wore in the music videos for Reputation's "...Ready For It?" and evermore's "Willow." This could simply be a nod that her past eras brought her to Midnight's bejeweled glory, or it may be a clue that we can expect a treat from Reputation (Taylor's Version).

Fairy Goddess Dita Von Teese

When Taylor gets off the elevator, she's met with her "fairy goddess," burlesque dancer Dita Von Teese. Taylor's makeup, hair, and outfit resemble her characters in the "Wildest Dreams" music video, but this scene could potentially represent that Taylor knows what she's capable of. In the classic fairytale, Cinderella, which "Bejeweled" is inspired by, the titular character makes a wish to become something she's not. In this video, Taylor already has the looks and the "magic" she needs to achieve her dreams — she just met up with Dita for an iconic lil burlesque number.

The Stage

While Tay performs at the talent show to win her castle, the stage is nearly identical to the one in her 2011 music video for "Mean," another track on Speak Now. Eagle-eyed fans on Twitter also pointed out that it resembles the stage for her Speak Now live tour.

Haim's Reactions to Taylor's Performance

During her talent show performance, Taylor's stepsisters (a.k.a the Haim sisters IRL) have an unpleasant reaction — similar to that of the seated guests when Taylor stops a wedding in the Speak Now album booklet.

Right now, all signs point to Speak Now (Taylor's Version) potentially being the next re-record, but we'll just wait for Taylor to make a surprise announcement before confirming. 😉

Taylor's "TS" and "SN" Hair Clips

During Prince Jack Antonoff's proposal to Taylor (lol), she's wearing two heart-shaped hair clips bejeweled with the letters "S" and "N," which could likely be another Speak Now reference. In a later scene where she stands tall on the balcony of her new castle, she wears the same hair clips with her initials "T" and "S" instead.

The Castle and Dragons

It'd be kind of weird if the castle and dragons at the end of "Bejeweled" weren't a direct reference to Taylor's 2010 song, "Loong Live." The track's lyrics include "Long live the walls we crashed through / How the kingdom lights shined just for me and you" and "Long live all the mountains we moved / I had the time of my life-fighting dragons with you."

As previously mentioned, a string arrangement of "Long Live" also plays in the background as the cameras pan out and show the castle with its surrounding dragons.

The "Bejeweled" Video's Release Date

The biggest Easter egg of them all? The "Bejeweled" music video — which we now know is clad with Speak Now references — was released on the 12-year anniversary of that very album. According to Zainub Amir on Twitter, Taylor's third album was released on October 25, 2010.
