Taylor Swift has been accused of copying a Kenzo advert with her latest music video.

The video for Delicate was revealed on Sunday and some fans were quick to say it looked familiar.

They pointed out there appeared to be some similarities to a Kenzo perfume advert, directed by US producer and actor Spike Jonze, which was released last year.

Newsbeat has contacted Taylor and Spike Jonze's representatives for a comment.

The Kenzo advert shows a woman looking bored at a black tie function in a posh hotel, before leaving the room and dancing around the hotel.

In the video for Delicate, Taylor is at a red carpet event in a hotel, no-one can see her so she breaks away and begins dancing around.

Some fans pointed out similarities including the "colour palette" of the videos and the style of dancing.

Others compiled pictures and clips from both videos side by side.
