While the full video is due Thursday night, according to the Facebook post, the clip Taylor has shared certainly got us talking about the myriad possible inspirations Taylor's channeling and how it may relate to her new "persona."

First of all, here's the clip.

There's a lot -- A LOT -- to unpack here even for a 15-second clip.

But we're pretty sure of one thing: Swift has been watching a lot of sci-fi in preparation for this video and really wanted to channel it all into a video for a song about late night fun with one of her exes (maybe).

After a quick roundtable of Mashable's Taylor Swift experts, here are some of the cultural influences Taylor is giving a nod to (or ripping off, depending on your point of view).

Prometheus

Yeah, there's definitely something about Taylor holding a glowing orb that reminds us of Michael Fassbender and the 2012 entry in the Alien franchise.

Who knew Swift was such a big Ridley Scott fan?

Though we'd be remiss if we left out the OTHER big orb of 2017 as potential inspiration.

Blade Runner

Speaking of Ridley Scott! There's definitely an overall sci-fi vibe going on here with some camera work and general aesthetic that seems to lend itself to another Scott sci-fi film. Plus, the buzz around the Blade Runner 2049release seems like a good bandwagon for Swift to jump on.

A weird futuristic setting? Interesting camera pans? A dark and gloomy aesthetic?
