6. Taylor Swift - The Man
Taylor Swift has a habit of cramming her music videos with as many Easter eggs as possible, but fans had one extra reason to scan through the video for her recent hit tune "The Man."
The video, directed by Swift herself, sees the singer-songwriter dressed up as a male alter-ego named "Tyler Swift" while acting out a number of male-skewing double standards in society, from manspreading to the expression of sexuality, parenthood, and workplace politics.
It's a jaw-dropping transformation and one which begs the viewer to mash the pause button at regular intervals, not to ignore the numerous visual references to Swift's previous work.
As an added treat, the end credits of the video even detail the extensive makeup work required to transform Taylor into Tyler.
