A hilarious new Taylor Swift meme reminds everyone Beyonce is the queen

Bey, is that you?

The internet works fast, people.

Just hours after Taylor Swift released her new fiery single "Look What You Made Me Do," the music video preview has already been turned into a meme.

If you're thinking that the last shot in the video -- the one with Taylor and her dancers standing in formation -- looks a little familiar, you're not alone. Remember this?

Of course you do.

People on Twitter noticed a strikingly similarity between Tay's shot and a shot in Beyoncé's "Formation" music video, and they immediately turned it into a quick-spreading "Formation" meme comparing the two.

Taylor already made a jab at Kanye West's "tilted stage" in her new single, so could this be an actual reference to Queen Bey? Twitter sure thinks so.

We'll just have to wait until the full video premieres at the VMA's on Aug. 28 to find out for sure.
