The pop sensation could be nominated for the Best Live Action Short Film category next year as the director of the project – but as you'll remember, she made a cameo appearance at the end of the extended music video too!

The Hollywood Reporter broke the exciting news to Swifties, writing: "[Taylor] received an Oscar-qualifying run, making it eligible for the best live-action short Oscar, and is working with a top consulting firm to guide its awards campaign."

The publication revealed that the 32-year-old is "working with a top consulting firm to guide its awards campaign".

The official Oscar nominations for next year will be announced on January 24, 2023, so we'll have to wait until then to find out if Taylor is in fact in the running for an Academy Award...
