Since ME! completed one year today, here is a thread of all the Easter eggs, clues, references, etc. that we were able to find from it's music video.
First regarding the song's release date, it was released on 26th April which was also the day when Avengers: Endgame was released. Taylor's song called 'Endgame' contains the lyrics "Reputation precedes me" and her album reputation literally precedes the song ME!
The video starts with this pavement which can be a reference to her poem 'Why she disappeared',published in her Reputation era magazine, which contains the lines 'When she fell, she fell apart, Cracked her bones on the pavement, She once decorated, As a child with sidewalk chalk'
In this scene a snake (symbol for reputation) turns (metamorphoses) into butterflies (the symbol for lover), which represents the end of reputation era and start of lover era. It also implies that Taylor herself has transformed into a new happier self.
This line spoken by Brendon is actually a lyric from her song called 'False God'.
A reference to the lyric 'Swear to be overdramatic and true to my lover' from lover.
Foreshadowing the next single after ME!
This Christmas tree is a foreshadowing for the lyric 'We could leave the Christmas lights up 'til January' from Lover.
We could see palm trees here which could be a reference to Cruel Summer.
