Graffiti seen on the walls are lyrics from the <i>Reputation</i> album. The cloaked Swift walks up to the cell walls and watches as the cyborg Swift transforms into several iterations – she wears futuristic armor, rides a white horse, manipulates various flickers of energy, and shoots lightning bolts from her fingertips. Eventually, the cyborg Swift breaks through the cell walls, with shards of glass cutting the cloaked Swift across the face, revealing she is a cyborg as well. The cyborg guards try to contain both of them to no avail, and the video ends with the white cyborg Swift walking away from her demolished cell and moving up an escalator. The video features two different versions of Swift.
