Both music videos take place in a trailer park with a scene where the artists are lounging on a float in a pool with the camera overhead.

Another element Twitter users pointed out was a scene where Beyonce wears a yellow T-shirt and cooks eggs inside a trailer.

One Twitter user shared grabs of the pool scenes and wrote: ‘If Taylor Swift wants people to stop accusing her of ripping off Beyonce, maybe she should quit ripping off Beyonce.’
Adding: ‘Her whole “above-ground pool party in a trailer park” vibe cribs a lot of shots from Bey’s “Party” video. This is just one example.’
Another person wrote: ‘#Beyonce had left over props from the Party video… it’s nice she is letting the girls use her things’ while someone else sarcastically wrote ‘Just another wild coincidence.’

Beyhive: Beyonce fans claimed Taylor ripped off Beyonce
The Twitter user is referring to the criticism Taylor was showered with after her performance at the Billboard Awards in May in Las Vegas.
She performed her new single ME! with Panic! AT The Disco’s Brendon Urie – utilizing a marching band and with gradient pastel colors, fireworks and backup dancers.
During her performance, Taylor was hearkened to the stage by a band of drummers clad in pink, something that Beyonce fans said was an element heavily lifted from Beyonce’s Coachella performance last year.
