TAYLOR Swift fans believe the superstar may have just played her first move against Scooter Braun by releasing a cover of Look What You Made Me Do.
The song was part of the recent episode of Killing Eve, and Taylor proudly promoted the track, writing on social media: "VERY STOKED about this cover of lwymmd on @KillingEve by Jack leopards & the dolphin club!!"
There was just one problem – the band Jack leopards & the dolphin club doesn't exist.
Fans quickly realized that the cover had been produced by long-time Taylor collaborator Jack Antonoff and Nils Sjoberg – the pseudonym Taylor had used when working with ex-boyfriend Calvin Harris.
The artwork for the band was also an old picture of her younger brother Austin – and fans also dug up an old story in which sources close to the singer had claimed she had asked Killing Eve creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge if Austin could sing on the soundtrack.
Taking to Twitter to praise the 30-year-old, one fan wrote: "How can someone NOT like Taylor Swift? The woman is a business genius.

"She just got away with putting her song on her favorite tv show without Scooter Braun getting any penny for it by creating a FAKE BAND smh."
Another tweeted: "THE WAY SCOOTER AND BRUSCHETTA CANT TOUCH THIS COVER IM SCREAMING TAYLOR SWIFT IS A POWERHOUSE."
One tweet read: "Taylor swift masterminding an entire fake cover band using her brother’s voice and baby picture, crediting nils sjoberg so WE would know it was her and then publicly thanking her damn self for the song whilst knowing scooter won’t get a damn PENNY from reputation."
Taylor and Scooter have been at odds since Justin Bieber’s manager bought Taylor’s former record label and bagged himself the rights to her back catalog.
In recent weeks, Taylor fired off a message for Scooter, 38, after her former music home announced they would release several tracks from her catalog without her consent.
Fans noticed a newly uploaded album titled "Live from Clear Channel Stripped 2008" on the Shake It Off singer's Spotify and YouTube accounts.
The track listing includes her biggest hit, Love Story, and several other songs from her first two albums – Taylor Swift and Fearless.
Despite being listed as a 2017 release, Taylor claims the songs were recorded back in 2008 when she was just 18-years-old, and she let fans know she did "not approve" of the move by Big Machine Records – where she was first signed in 2005 before leaving the label in 2018.
She wrote: "In my opinion… Just another case of shameless greed in the time of Coronavirus. So tasteless, but very transparent."
