Taylor Swift lauded for Serena Williams reference in new music video

Taylor Swift recently dropped the video of The man from her record-breaking album Lover and one particular scene from the song has captured everybody’s attention. In the "ultra-feminist" track, Swift highlights the notion of sexism stating that had she been a man, she would have been praised for the same behaviours for which she is now criticised. 

Hidden Reference

In the Self-scripted and self-directed video, Swift can be seen as a man who indulges in all stereotypical activities such as going to a strip club, manspreading and marrying a much younger woman amongst others. However, one particular scene from the video has taken the internet by storm. The scene which shows ‘the man’ berating an umpire in a tennis match is thought to be a direct reference to Serena William’s meltdown in the 2018 US Open Final.
