Taylor Swift s self-directed music video for The Man was released Thursday.

And the pop stars critique on toxic masculinity is already making waves on social media.

The video features several not-so-subtle swipes at music manager Scooter Braun , with whom Swift has clashed over the ownership of her catalog. (Find the digs less than a minute in when the principal, manspreading character is urinating against a wall.)

Theres also a voice cameo from wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne The Rock Johnson, a physical cameo from her father Scott Swift and a mocking name check for actor Leonardo DiCaprio.

The twist at the end, however, was the big surprise for many fans on Twitter.

Check out the video here:
