Did you catch the sneaky Taylor Swift reference in Selena Gomez’s ‘Bad Liar’ video?

Once you see it

Selena Gomez dropped her video for the infectious, song-of-the-summer earworm Bad Liar yesterday, and it had…a lot of layers. In it, Selena plays three different characters including a teacher, a dude, and a younger version of herself. She’s the new queen of character acting, Eddie Murphy is shook.

But there’s something else snuck into Bad Liar that has nothing to do with fake mustaches or scandalous gym teachers or sexy gay undertones. Nope, it’s the most unavoidable person on earth: one Taylor Swift.

So in the video, Young Fictional Selena is secretly in love with her gym teacher. And Young Fictional Selena — as Young Fictional characters in movies often do — have pictures of their celeb crushes adorning their bedroom walls. (Is this a thing in real life? My mom wouldn’t let me put a damn thing on the walls).

Here’s Selena gazing adoringly at the photo of her crush:

And who’s that in the background?
