The cover art for the album features a closeup of Swift looking closely at a lighter. It is surrounded by a white border with the track titles listed on the left side. Consider Swift's visage the face that launched a whole bunch of sports memes.



Sports teams were quick to replicate the cover on social media. Here are a few of the memes:



The Duke Blue Devils rattled off their hoops accomplishments. The Virginia Cavaliers featured basketball player Samantha Brunelle and tallied the titles for all the programs at the school.



Two football teams in Pittsburgh used the meme to promote this weekend's games.




In F1, Mercedes and Ferrari replaced Swift with their prominent drivers including Lewis Hamilton, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.



The Ole Miss Rebels and Texas Longhorns also reinvented Swift's cover. They should get extra credit for their track lists.
