Swift makes her solo directorial debut with the promo for her new feminist empowerment track, The Man, and appears to reference her run-ins with Kanye West and Scooter Braun in the clip that dropped Thursday.
The 30-year-old musician ditches her signature blonde locks and bold red lipstick in favor of a short wig, facial hair and prosthetics as she portrays the many scenarios in which men are rewarded more than women who do the same, or oftentimes better.
The video kicks off with a bang as the artist channels a fiery male boss who shouts orders to his colleagues, but still manages to receive praise.
The scene is aesthetically similar to some in DiCaprio's Wolf of Wall Street movie.
The musician's character appears to take inspiration from the character, stockbroker Jordan Belfort, by popping champagne with bikini-clad women on a yacht.
But the scene also nods to 45-year-old DiCaprio's personal life where he has been seen enjoying lavish life on water with his girlfriend Camila Morrone, 22.
Not holding back, she sings: 'And we would toast to me, oh, let the players play. I'd be just like Leo, in Saint-Tropez'.
Flash-forwarding to his later years, The Man is shown as an pensioner, who ties the knot to a younger woman. More praise comes his way as he walks back down the aisle.
Swift has dated younger men including Harry Styles, Taylor Lautner, Conor Kennedy and Lucas Till. But her romances that have featured age gaps of no more than a few years have been labeled inappropriate.
