Look At What You Made Me Do director denies imitating Beyonce's Formation video.

The director of Taylor Swift's new music video has denied that he's copied Beyonce's Formation video.

Look at What You Made Me Do is the first single from the singer's sixth studio album, Reputation.

It came after a week-long social media blackout where she removed all her previous posts declaring that the old Taylor is "dead".

But it's a short clip from a preview Taylor tweeted that's caused controversy.

Taylor tweets 20 second clip from her forthcoming video.

At around 12 seconds in, the artist "formerly known as old Taylor", is seen in military attire standing in formation.

Aly tweeted: "I thought this looked familiar....imitation is the sincerest form of flattery I guess" with a picture of Beyonce at the Superbowl

Marcia used Beyonce lyrics to mock Taylor: "My daddy Pennsylvania, momma from Pennsylvania, You mix that Pennsyl with a Vania I am from Pennylvaniaaaa"

The similarities led music video director Joseph Kahn to tweet...

I've worked with Beyoncé a few times. She's an amazing person. The #LWYMMDvideo is not in her art space. Love and respect to Bey.

But some fans didn't take too kindly to those comments.

King Petty tweeted: First of all it will never be Beyoncé's art space cause what formation did the #LWYMMDvideo will never ever be able to do but that's cute.

Kahn went on to say:

Also there's something to that "formation" shot I painted out and you haven't seen yet. Stay tuned Sunday :)

It's not the first time the two stars have shared an awkward moment.

Back in 2009, Kanye West interrupted Taylor Swift's acceptance speech at the 2009 MTV VMA's, showering praise on Beyonce in the process.

We won't find out how closely linked the two videos are until it premieres at this years MTV Video Music Awards which will be hosted by Taylor's new friend Katy Perry.
