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& #39;s music video.
First regarding the song& #39;s release date, it was released on 26th April which was also the day when Avengers: Endgame was released. Taylor& #39;s song called & #39;Endgame& #39; 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 & #39;Why she disappeared& #39;,published in her Reputation era magazine, which contains the lines & #39;When she fell, she fell apart, Cracked her bones on the pavement, She once decorated, As a child with sidewalk chalk& #39;
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 Christmas tree is a foreshadowing for the lyric & #39;We could leave the Christmas lights up & #39;til January& #39; from Lover.
Photo of Dixie Chicks foreshadowing her collab with them on & #39;Soon you& #39;ll get better& #39;.
Referencing & #39;Step into the daylight and let it go& #39; from Daylight.
Also we can see the shadows of her & #39;past& #39; selves in this scene.

There are 7 suitcases in this scene representing that Lover is her seventh album.
Also the suits and the suitcases foreshadow her song The Man.

This scene foreshadows the lyric & #39;Staring out the window like I& #39;m not your favorite town& #39; from & #39;False God& #39;.
The next scenes reveal that the whole music video is taking place in a chrysalis further adding to the butterflies and metamorphosis symbolism.
We all know what this lover sign means so I won& #39;t explain it

This scene looks very similar with the rooftop scene from & #39;Begin again& #39;. Probably this parallel implies that Taylor & #39;Began again& #39; after the happenings of reputation.
This scene references the lyric & #39;Kaleidoscope of loud heartbeats under coats& #39; from Welcome to New York.
The angels in this scene were a foreshadowing for the lyric & #39;Devils roll the dice, angels roll their eyes& #39; from Cruel Summer.
The country boots are a nod for Taylor& #39;s country roots.
This scene is a reference to & #39;With you I& #39;d dance, In a storm in my best dress fearless& #39; from the song Fearless.
This scene also could be a reference to the dancing in the rain scene from Delicate MV.
